Hope you were able to make some sense of this. Didn't have time to clean it up last night...

I hope you found no offense in my earlier comment. Please understand that I am sorry. I'm going to try to respond to your response, but know that other than having been diagnosed m…

How likely is it for a non-game developer to become a game developer and make the same salary? I've always felt that the two were really different, and even though I've developed m…

Not sure why I'm surprised I got -1'd, but I'm guessing it is because someone wanted to prove my point?

Great post. I personally think that people that reply indicating that anyone who doesn't believe in the traditional sciences, not including Philosophy but rather using our "accepte…

Apparently you were really reading that. I don't think dress code is out of the question though. Thong swimsuits would be a horrible thing to speak in.

I know the conversation is over, but > Sorry, genetics don't work that way and poor people aren't all stupid. If you reread what I've said in multiple places in this topic, I don't…

btw- just to be clear, I think that Africa deserves a lot more aid that it is getting, and the the U.S. has a lot of areas that could use more money- one of our largest cities, Det…

> Obviously there are exceptions, but most poor schools do not have internet access for the students or computers for them. If they do have a library, it is generally inadequate an…

> fix the Gmail UI. They just tried recently. I'd like to stop using GMail, but there aren't worthy competitors (free, large, mostly reliable). My ISP (which is a major one) sucks …

Thanks! Corrected. You're right that it isn't equivalent. There is no substantial effort afaik to only rid one of the branches of government (executive, legislative, judicial), so …

Well, doubting that leaks of information won't have a negative impact on our security is pretty obtuse also. I'm not afraid, but I also wouldn't be surprised if we have a greater n…

I like the cartoons used, but why set the bar high with chunky bacon: http://mislav.uniqpath.com/poignant-guide/ http://mislav.uniqpath.com/poignant-guide/images/the.foxes-4...

I guess the closest thing we have would be a confederate flag button in the U.S. That flag still seems to be embraced by the area of the country that most wishes to seceed (part of…

I think it is great that David Cameron is trying to protect his country. But, I think the implementation of anything that restricts the internet before content gets to the client w…

This is already done through the WIC program. If you look at the shelves in the grocery store, you'll see the WIC label on certain foods. It does not stop poor food choices. The on…

Unless every fast food restaurant is outlawed and shutdown and all crap food is outlawed and removed from the shelves of every store in the U.S., you are not going to stop anyone (…

Is anyone aware of any documented reports of well-known "reputable" antivirus/antimalware companies being involved in the development or spread of viruses, etc.? I've heard in the …

I appreciate that you are trying to refute my argument, but just saying that someone does not know what they are talking about has got to be one of the least intelligent ways of do…

IQ not intelligence. IQ is meant to be a measure of intellectual capacity. It is nonsensical to say that someone is unable to be intelligent because they are poor. Let's talk about…

You are confusing intelligence with intellectual capacity (IQ). IQ is the ability for a child to do exemplary things with his/her mind. Intelligence is building upon that. Being po…

No, I was saying that money in pocket != intelligence.

I actually don't believe at a micro-level that causation comes into play at all. I was responding to the statement that at a macro-level there is probability of causation, and it i…

> Good nutrition, stimulation, and education are all important during development. But not so important that they would have a 40 point IQ difference. If it is, show me the studies…

Logically money should have no direct affect on intellectual capacity (e.g. see my other argument about taking the money away and giving it to someone else). In this case, I think …
