Expelled from Expelled!
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/21/2008
Indeed. It's not really an if-else statement - God or Not-God - it's a switch statement with an infinitely long array of choices to choose from. Better pick right, otherwise you are going to burn in hell FOREVAH!!!!1 My, Pascal's Wager is a dumb argument … (see comment)

Semantic Web FAQ (by W3C)
Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 05/09/2007
@zzbottom: that's what both the microformats community (microformats.org) and the GetSemantic (disclosure: I founded it) site (getsemantic.com) are for, as well as SWEO, the Semantic Web Education and Outreach project are for. I'm hoping that we may be ab … (see comment)

Semantic Web FAQ (by W3C)
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 05/09/2007
The Semantic Web can only use what you put up on it. I have no intention of putting my phone records up on my site - in RDF or otherwise. If it's not up on the Web, it's not on the Semantic Web. And I'm not sure that Closed World Machine or Jena or any of … (see comment)

Anti-God Starbucks cup has customer steaming
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 05/07/2007
There are quotes from other perspectives. See the facile Jonathan Wells pro-intelligent-design/Darwinism-is-evil quote above. Also Rick Warren, author of that evangelical dross 'The Purpose-Driven Life' waffling on about God. There are some other conserva … (see comment)

Anti-God Starbucks cup has customer steaming
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 05/07/2007
That's why they have cups which say precisely the opposite. You don't see atheists having media hissy fits (a bit of grumbling in blog comments at most) about the Jonathan Wells cup which says that 'Darwinism' is the cause of all evil in the world (someon … (see comment)

Anti-God Starbucks cup has customer steaming
Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 05/07/2007
In fact there *ARE* religious messages on Starbucks paper cups. They print a wide variety of messages from all different opinions. @ozydingo: the people who complain about 'In God We Trust' on the money are not doing it because they are 'offended' by t … (see comment)

The Definitive Guide to Semantic Web Markup for Blogs
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 05/01/2007
The headline is extremely misleading, and the author is being pretty bloody rude to those of us who do know what we are talking about re. the Semantic Web. There are ways to using 'Semantic Web'-compatible markup on blogs. Microformats, eRDF and RDFa ( … (see comment)

Full Vs. Partial RSS Feeds
Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 04/21/2007
Another problem with partial feeds is that it requires people to write good headlines. Most often, I actually find the stories I like by skimming rather than reading the headlines. Often, I'll see a headline from a partial feed and click through to find a … (see comment)

W3C plans HTML upgrade
Comment in News (0 diggs, 1 reply) - on 03/07/2007
The best function that could be added to HTML would be to rid it of it's basis in SGML and get it to XML - which means the XML tools we've got could easily read HTML as anything else. The fact that the W3C doesn't have the resolve to hold fast with XHTML … (see comment)

Search for Jim Gray
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 02/03/2007
What? It's 'spammish' because they've put an ad on Google. How so? I see adverts on Google for good causes quite often - just try typing in the name of some charities and you'll see Google Ads for them. And Google often put up public service announcements … (see comment)

Search for Jim Gray
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 02/03/2007
I've submitted about 15-20 pages. Saw a few things in there, but I expect it's just pareidolia at work. Still, I hope that technology like Mechanical Turk is used to allow the public to help sift through data to help investigations and people search just … (see comment)

If You Copy Digg, At Least Thank Them
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/11/2007
I'd highly recommend that digg users read the link that elgecko has posted. '3dkiller' seems to have some fairly sensible results. Perhaps not the smartest move - if you haven't got finished software, why do you need marketing pictures? - but nonetheless, … (see comment)

If you live in NH, you are pretty close to Boston. There's gotta be a college in Boston to attend. As soon as I've got my Green Card, I'm hoping to get to NH. (see comment)

"You seem to swear by Wikipedia as the only "true" and reliable source." Do I? That's funny. I thought Wikipedia was a convenient place to link to since it summarised the current knowledge on the subject. I didn't say anything about it being the fountain … (see comment)

Third World Christian Fervor Shaping the World
Comment in News (-2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 12/31/2006
diggrific: Of course I knew which side it would benefit. Should I have lied instead so as to provide a fair and balanced argument? I do not believe that all religious people are stupid. I believe that religion for most people doesn't have a good effect on … (see comment)

Third World Christian Fervor Shaping the World
Comment in News (-3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 12/31/2006
It seems to be the modus operandi of religious folks to just wander in to discussions and paste in large amounts of utterly irrelevant crap. So, you read Plato and Aristotle. Then you read the Bible. And now you can quote chunks from the Bible. Whoop-de-d … (see comment)

"So, since I'm not an academically achieved person, I must be stupid because I believe in the Bible. Do I got that right? And that of course means that a stupid person must be wrong and the learned one be the one holding truth. Do I got that part right al … (see comment)

"Folks, you are better off sending your kids to Catholic school." Yes, because the Roman Church has proven such a good guardian of youngsters in the past... Fuck the whole system. Buy your kid a computer. Set the homepage to en.wikipedia.org. Get th … (see comment)
