@TZMrazvitie "but if the moon landing was true - we'd do it again and again and again since 1960s and 1970s" No, we wouldn't. Why would we? It's expensive and has low ROI after the first set of missions. That is not an argument in favour of the moon landing being a hoax, it is an unfounded assumption.
I love Phil, but it was 4:30 into the video before he really started talking about the topic. I could have done without all the talk about Twitter prior to that point. Afterward the video picked up speed and it was a pleasure to hear Phil speak on this topic.
@AllisonsHunt Psychopaths? Please refrain from using words you don't understand. Also, why would you reply with an ad hominem (personal attack with no basis in reality) and than accuse your opponent of only resorting to personal attacks? Sounds like you fit the bill of psychopath more than me. Or at least hypocrite. And the fact is you haven't presented a case to argue against to begin with. You opened with an unfounded accusation, I asked for proof, you retort by projecting your traits. Fail.
@ianman6 You asked for proof and then answered your own question. You're having a conversation with yourself. I didn't want to interrupt this important dialogue, since that's the same way you make love (to yourself).. If you want to ask a question which doesn't qualify as conversational masturbation, I would be pleased to answer. Plait pushes the idea that Apollo was real. I'm convinced that Plait could not possibly believe this, himself, but he does expect you to believe it. Jews.
Phil Plait is a professional liar for the Federal government with the perfect cover... he's a "skeptic". Who on earth would suspect the leader of the skeptics to also be a major proponent of disinformation? Perfect... or so you would think.
@ianman6 You and your fellow psychopaths all argue the same way... which is to say, you don't argue at all. It's all personal attacks and diversion to avoid having to defend a loser. Dreidel dreidle dreidle.
@AllisonsHunt You have presented nothing to convince anyone with a brain that you are anything more than a troll. You used racial slurs (pointlessly, as I am not Jewish), tipped your hand as a paranoid conspiracy theorist, accused me of doing what it is in fact you are guilty of, and made ridiculous claims with no evidence. I don't need to defend Phil Plait, he's already made mince out of nuts like you, and you've offered nothing which requires defence. Next you'll say I'm a CIA disinfo agent...
@legend101zelda The conference is hosted by Chris Pirillo (i.e. Mr Nobody) for goodness sake. It would make sense if Chris was unveiling a new product (which is - I assume - what most people are taking notes on at a Steve Jobs conference). But at a Chris Pirillo conference, whats the point? Are they all making notes so they can write articles online that nobody will read???
I reckon its just an excuse for the typically arrogant mac "nerds" (i.e. semi-retards) to show off their laptops.
Hey Phil, if you want all the people on the earth to be skeptics, or atheists, then why would you not ask the government to add a Darwin's lessons instead of computer lessons? So this way people from the childhood will know that evolution is the truth, and most people on the earth will be skeptics, but it actually needs A LOT of time... I'm in Georgia, a fucking stupid country full of Orthodox Christians and I'm sick!!! I'm so tired arguing with people about religion and the big bang theory....
Really good speech; his point is valid and we shouldnt be blinded by the obvious, but look into the subject more before believing. Still I cannot come to terms how people just dont believe in science, the evidence is everywhere youll be dead without it, wait scrap that, you wouldnt of been born in the first place.
I can tell you my personal reason: near-unbreakable hardware (in my experience) and perfect power management; you know, the sort that makes you reboot only after kernel updates.
My 8 years old iBook has 5 to 7 standby cycles per day, with dozens of apps and documents continuously open. For my next laptop, I hope I can give Linux a real try. Although awesome with servers (my job), last time I tried Linux wasn't quite there with mobile PCs. Plus, I use OS X like any unixoid OS anyway.
If that's true, just stop writing comments. I'm curious, ceresWar: you don't strike me as somebody who listens to a 45 minute long lecture. Your style of argument doesn't reveal a wealth of critical thinking skills.
So what's the deal here? Are you mad at Chris Pirillo that he uses Macs now rather than modded Windows PCs like he did before? (Phil Plait has one ore two Macs as well afaik.)
ceresWar, you certainly make it appear as if there's nothing left to discover about your style beside your inventory of expletives. It's fine with me.
My lips are shut, but my fingers keep on typing. And my mind is stilly trying to form a profile of the real-world ceresWar. Does (s)he really think that »macs sucks [sic!]«?
very good lexture. This is an important topic and is very cool to see such a brilliant mind work on something like this. It was interesting and fun and he knows what we want!
Why would anyone pay for an OS when Ubuntu 9.10 is FREE and in ways so much better than windows? there may be a small learning curve but, nothing most couldn't understand... it took me a week to learn linux and its different GUI. it supports most everything i need it to and is getting better with each release.
I hate OS flame wars... I hope they get considered as a felony and sentence all of you kids to jail... Stop fighting and get over yourselves... Use the OS you want to use... Screw everyone else!
@UdallIn72 Wow lol I posted that 10 months ago and look where it is. Well, your answer is because people have this ego defense mechanism that kicks in whenever they look stupid. People tend to defend what they own even if completely sucks just so that they don't admit they are a failure. Others just want attention, and others act like most gay fashion designers when they criticize a dress. Some just think it is a manliness issue.
He wasn't saying "fight what you do not know" but, fight to know what you do not know. And make sure you can explain your reasons for saying you know it. Because if you can not explain something logically, then you do not understand it.
There is a high chance that the distribution could be different, but it seems to be affected by the presence of Pirillo. Pirillo is after all a Mac user. I've only seen this kind of distribution before during Apple conventions.
In the CS classes over here the distribution is totally different, like 20% Mac, 20 % Linux and 60 % Windows.
I use both windows xp and ubuntu (linux) but am leaning towards ubuntu full time because it is open sourced,FREE, offers some hiller eye candy and is fast with few if any virus issues.
2. It's a person own choice if they want to do it or not, you can't just judge them like that.
3. Were talking here on youtube faggotry , but what are you? I may never know you but have you stopped and thought about yourself, maybe your a fricken loner and like to bash on people that actually are successful in life, maybe you live in your moms basement, and please don't tell me if i want to see your pic.
