http://penguinpetes.com/b2evo/index.php?title=10_reasons_why_the_command_line...; From the page: "Face it, our brains handle words better than they handle spacial sequences of motions. How many times have you tried to show somebody else how to perform a mouse task, only to realize that without sitting in front of the machine doing it yourself, you can't remember how it goes? Learn a command and it's yours for life."

Not everyone is a read/write learner. Go read about VARK.

Rough Type: Nicholas Carrs Blog: Slutbot aces Turing Test*: Dec 9, 2007 3:56pm 15 reviews
http://www.roughtype.com/archives/2007/12/slutbot_passes.php; From the page: "Could it be that the Turing Test has finally been beaten - by a sex machine, no less - and that a true artificial intelligence is on the loose? Maybe so, but [...]"

This guy obviously knows nothing about artificial intelligence.

http://www.maltastar.com/pages/msFullArt.asp?an=14323; How can we possibly conclude, from this, that the majority of the companies on that list have done anything wrong. Unless there's proof of wrong-doing and the entries in question included them, they could have just been removing incorrect content. Showing us a list of changes, which could very well be corrections, is just a way to say "corporations suck," which is a naive and generally uninformed opinion.

The universe as a hologram: Nov 19, 2007 11:55am 72 reviews astronomy, physics
http://www.etresoi.ch/Denis/hologram.html; Lame article with a lame premise. There are several theories that try to explain entanglement, and do so much better than this. Even though I abhor String Theory, I think it's a better theory than this.

Noam Chomsky on Ron Paul - ! * POLITICS * ! - tribe.net: Nov 15, 2007 11:05pm 4 reviews politics, chomsky, libertarianism, ron-paul
http://uspolitics.tribe.net/thread/623b39d1-2481-48f5-b93a-5e595551beda; There are a few problems with this:

1. No citation
2. Ron Paul's views are completely misrepresented.

RP wants to dismantle Social Security at the _federal_ level, leaving states to run themselves how they please. He, by absolutely no means, wants to get rid of social responsibility, but would rather local and state governments (as well as social institutions) run it instead of the federal government.
