Kaiti commented on nephyo's blog post Twitter the evil Piracy Promoting Plagiarism Platform"I like how you had to tag this one, "sarcasm." I like even more that, even with the tag, someone didn't get it.

Benjamin Stites commented on nephyo's blog post Twitter the evil Piracy Promoting Plagiarism Platform"Hi nephyo,
Well said there should be no room for plagiarism in any form. Even if, Twitter does not know they are committing plagiarism they should still be accountable for this action. It is very sad that a lot of companies do not know the full…"

nephyo posted a blog postTwitter the evil Piracy Promoting Plagiarism Platform
So the other day I heard a story about a company that got into some serious trouble. The whole web society came down on them like a ton of bricks and rightfully so. Their crime? They created an aggregation service that took the full content from blogs and websites across the web displayed them in full on their site. Clearly this is horrible. I mean, that company was effectively stealing other people's content and using it to expand their own advertising revenue! Plagiarism! Piracy!! Never mind…See More

Did you know that if you're a scientist you are no longer allowed to crack a joke?Not only that, but you're not allowed to use any possibly misleading phrases in your work. Nor can you make any passionate phrasing of your opinions about anything. And for goodness sake don't you DARE insult anybody you don't like or disagree with. Ever.At least... not if you write it down and certainly not where anybody can hear you.Because it's become clear that we want to create a world that goes beyond the…See More

nephyo posted a blog postHate Crimes Statistics
Recently as part of a 680 Billion Dollar National Defense Authorization Bill, President Obama recently signed into law an extension to already existing Federal Hate Crimes Laws to include sexual orientation and gender identity in the definition of Hate Crimes.Given this occasion I thought it was a good time to take a look at hate crimes in the United States. There's a lot of misinformation out there about Hate Crimes. People insinuate that the laws exist only to protect certain privileged…See More
nephyo replied to Eric aka moosemuffin's discussion STARGATE-U in the group Stargate Nerdfighters!"It seems too much like it's trying to be the next Battlestar Galactica to me. SG1 and SGA were above all fun. I'm not sure if I'm going to like this attempt to make everything be "deep" and "meaningful".…"

atrocities of the past
Just a quick thought.
When we talk about some past atrocity and ask the question whether we should do anything about it, we have a tendency to say something like:
"That's ancient history. We didn't do that atrocity. We're not responsible for the sins of our ancestors. Why should we care?"
But then when we talk about figures from the past we tend to say something like this:
"Well that's just the past society we can't really equate it to values that… Continue

2012 is an idiotic movie
I saw 2012 last weekend. It was an odd experience. The people in the theater actually clapped at the end. The three people I went with all reportedly enjoyed it.
Me?
I couldn't stop rolling my eyes throughout the movie.
While 2012 wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, not by a long shot, it was quite possibly the stupidest. I found the plot to be completely ridiculous. It's basically a movie full of the worst kinds of hollywood cliches and stereotypes… Continue
