Why math is dangerous...

Vegetarians -- Mitchell and Webb

Arg says...

As I understand it, humans have been cooking food for so long now that it has guided our evolution. Thus we now have smaller teeth and jaw muscles and a shorter intestinal tract. Cooking has become a sort of external pre-digestive tract, tenderising meat, softening hard seeds, breaking down toxic and irritating substances in roots and leaves, and releasing nutrients bound up in plant cells.

You could say that humans are not omnivores, they are cookivores.

most omnivorous and meet eaters are..

2. Just because we can eat meat, like chimps and bonobos sometimes, doesn't mean we're designed to consume the huge quantities of flesh many humans (Uhmerikans) consume.
3. Shouldn't humans have important things like fangs and claws and stronger jaws or digestive fluid if we were designed for that purpose?

Wow. That advice at the end to take your computer to the authorities if you discover that you've accidentally downloaded something, is sooo dangerous. Seriously, how do you imagine that conversation is going to end?

I disagree... If you happened to accidentally download something like that from P2P or random browsing, I think it would be your responsibility to report it ASAP. Maybe the situation will be uncomfortable to talk about and you may have to admit to being a pervy porn addict (aren't we all? ), but the end goal is to try to stop the circulation of child pornography, which is a noble cause. And I HIGHLY doubt you'd get yourself arrested or in trouble, unless they had evidence that showed you were actually involved in kiddie porn, rather than an accidental download.
There are real children involved in this kind of shit.. it's really serious, imo. It could be scary, cause of stories like this one, but I really think you gotta report it if you ever see it.


Erm, actually it's stories like this that lead me to make my original statement. Maybe things haven't got this bad yet in your part of the world.

Fuel Tanker Explosion

Looks like it was empty to me. They are more prone to exploding when empty than full. Fumes from the dregs mix with air in the empty tank and create a potentially explosive mix. Empty tankers are routinely flushed out with nitrogen to prevent this from happening.

Comodore 64 app for the iPhone

A license is beside the point. Apple will do whatever it takes to protect its revenue. It's not a technical limitation, or a legal one. It's about money, plain and simple.

I understand and agree with your point. I was just replying to Dag's slippery slope argument. There would be no slippery slope towards emulating more up-to-date hardware without a license from the copyright/patent holders. In the case of the DS or PSP a license would not be forthcoming.

^It's a slippery slope. You let this in, next it's MAME - then how about a DS or PSP emulator?

But as I understand it these people have a license from Commodore. Nintendo and Sony would never allow a license for a DS or PSP emulator.

Science Is The Dumbest Religion!

OMG I nearly split my sides at that "Jesus on a dog's butt" picture. I hadn't seen that before. I had to check it out to see if it had been photoshopped.

From www.metro.co.uk

The dog's name is Angus MacDougall, and he is a very cute three-year-old terrier mix. The image of Jesus can be clearly seen in the fur surrounding his anus.

It looks like the story first broke here.

I know in these enlightened times we're supposed to look beyond surface imperfections, but I can never concentrate on a word he's saying. I always end up fixated on the jaw thing. It's just really distracting.
