    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    You can object in the basis of you don't want the government to know where you are at any point in time, as privacy is a right on the USA. Knowing where you are at any point in time is an invasion of privacy, for any reasonable individual. That in itself is a valid and logical reason. Second...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Also i'm sure your champion has to agree to be selected as a champion. remember when Tyrion was on the castle in the sky, he had to beg the other guy to be his champion, practically buy him. I don't think you are no any obligation to be anyone's champion, unless you have a previous oath. For...

    You guys have some sand filled vaginas. If you want to know why light in a dialectric material is able to be affected by magnetic fields, go to another place. The Faraday effect is actually very advanced and hard to understand. It will go over the head of almost everyone watching the show. I...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    True, the most likely scenario is a civil war with the most powerful lord becoming king. Highly doubtful they will hand over the keys to the reign to some foreigner after all the previous ruler have been poisoned or assassinated.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    look , what you are saying is the same as , if he wasn't a religious person he would have been a better scientist, or discover more. ( that is a form of my argument of if he wasn't x, he would have been y). And that is a wild especulation.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    There is no way of knowing. So we are left with the facts. Newton was a religious zealot and a brilliant scientist. If he and others could do it, I'm sure it can be done again. Don't get me wrong, I'm as atheist as they come, but historical evidence shows that religion, at the individual level...

    Is it testable? that is the main question. Science is just knowledge and predictions acquired using the scientific method. A key component of the method is the testability.

    He could have just spent that time masturbating. Is now masturbating detrimental so science? Or he could have become a writer. Is writing a detriment to science? Or he could have become a comedian. Is comedy a detriment to science? See where i am going. You cant say if that person wouldn't...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Also we use the word science too broad. There are plenty of fields were a hardcore zealot can be the best scientist of the world, because the topic is not at odds with his/her faith. Specially considering the loophole of young earth teachings. The loop hole is, there are two sets of laws pf...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    You can be a scientist and believe in Young earth. Just look at Sir Isaac Newton. He was born in 1642. How old do you think they though earth was, back them?. Heck he spend a good chunk of his life finding hidden clues in the bible, it doesnt get any more zealot and frankly crazy, than that. So...

    Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez, one of the best writers of the 20th century, passed away yesterday. As a teenage in a Spanish speaking country, I was forced to read some of his work. However his work is actually very good. I recommend the short story "chronicles of a foretold death". It is a very...

    Khane, are you talking about a management position or or a development position? you seems to put the two of them into the same category. Managing developers is more about managing people than the technology. I would not hire a developer that has not gone to school in CS, or a hard engineering...

    Yeah. my friends was mad when the series basically confirmed what it has been saying all along. There is an entity guiding mankind during the ages. It was no surprise really. I am as atheist as they come, and it didn't bother me one bit that the series had a theism as its backbone.
