    Oil and Gas Operations Could Trigger Large Earthquakes

    Its interesting to think of the parallels to the cigarette companies and their refusal for so many years to truthfully say that their product is harmful.

    Poll: Giant Gap Between What Public, Scientists Think

    How about a real world example: the flash crash of 2010. 9% of the stock market wiped out and restored in minutes. Automated algorithmic trading led to massive selloffs causing the drop of 1000pts. Then thanks to another automated computer intervention, pausing of trading, it was all...

    Wikipedia Banning Editors Over Gamergate Controversy

    Its like people who calling for teaching intelligent design in the classroom because we need "both perspectives represented". Bullshit. Sexist trash need to be called out on their BS. Not to mention the rampant use of N word on internet game voice chat.

    Destiny: Buy Last-Gen, Get Next-Gen Free

    It's crossbuy under another name, and yes--PLEASE stop calling it next gen. Its last and current. Its also probably to the great satisfaction of console makers looking to sell moar PS4s and XB1s. Destiny will be the gateway drug. And next-gen is a a joke anyway as the real Hard folks know.;)...

    Recovering Sound From Video With No Audio

    Technology that accomplishes the same thing in an albeit much more simple fashion (laser/IR reading window vibrations) was invented in the Soviet Union back in the late 40s. Cool trick though. I wonder what potential applications are? I guess it would be of use in synchronizing audio and video...

    Curbing Online Abuse Isn’t Impossible

    Sounds like you're a male chauvinist. You have flimsy anecdotal evidence so lets not pretend you are bringing anything to the table but your vitriolic opinion. Saying your wife is ok with what shes encountered online so that somehow applies to everyone is like me going around using the...

    Curbing Online Abuse Isn’t Impossible

    Where to begin with this post... How 'bout the fact that to begin with you say it will be a sad day, when the "ugly ugly thing"s of the internet incur real life consequences and then close your post out by acknowledging that the internet will become said "ugly ugly thing". You'd prefer to...

    Battlefield 4: Second Assault Coming Tuesday

    You guys are assuming the game is completely ready and they are holding it back for non-premium members. Another totally valid possibility is that the game isnt 100% ready and the premium folks are going to be performing a valuable "beta testing" service for the company. Pay to bug test for...

    Supreme Court to Address Software Patent Law

    You're probably thinking of how Newton and Leibniz independently formulated the foundations of calculus. Thats one of the best examples of independent discovery in the history of science.

    What the Hell Is Wrong With Nintendo?

    Cant tell if stupid or just trolling. Probably a little bit of both. Bottom line is you can transfer the games for free. Maybe hes just a glutton for punishment and only wants to transfer his games if he has to pay? Personally I'd do it for free and NOT go to the internet to spread lies ;)...

    Valve Engineer Makes Tongue Controlled Mouse

    This is currently used as an interface to. The tongue is one of the last working muscles in many quadriplegics and next gen wheelchairs will (maybe some already do) allow tongue driving. Already there are ones controlled with breath. I think South Park did some jokes on that long ago now that I...
