"You don't get it. You don't understand the world I live in. You don't understand the confidence I have. You don't understand my ability. You don't live on Planet Chad."
Pope Urban VIII threatened to excommunicate Galileo because he insisted that the sun was the center of the universe. Now, a mere 377 years later, Pope Barack is equally adamant that scientists should blindly follow his global warming religion.

There appears to be a relationship between being domesticated and being juvenile. The most obvious example are dogs. Adult dogs are actually wolf cubs. Over time their development has been stunted and they maintain all the physical and psychological features of young wolves. If you are always protected by humans and never live in the wild, you never have to grow up. And over time those physiological...
In his reply, UCLA historian Anthony Pagden doubts that the historical discontinuity created by the onset of modernity is "as sudden or as all-pervasive" as Stephen Davies makes it out to be. Pagden points both to much earlier and more recent changes that seem at least as dramatic as the changes between modern and pre-modern Europe, and he questions Davies' revised periodization of history....

At the intersection of art, science, and mystery lies the Linder Gallery Interior, a 17th century painting depicting a gallery filled with scientific instruments, mathematical and cosmic diagrams, a variety of Flemish, Dutch, and Italian paintings, and a curious collection of other objects. Apparently, it represents the controversial ideas that came to a head in Galileo’s 1633 Inquisition Trial....
Kepler founded modern astronomy by looking for a harmony that we wouldn't recognise as scientific at all Paper darkens as it grows old, but vellum just goes duller white, like the belly of a snake: looking at some of the manuscripts through which learning made its serpentine passage across the medieval world makes it obvious that you couldn't call those ages "dark".

When i try to add a jre it tells me "Standard VM not supported on MacOS." I've even tried installing the 1.5 java sdk and still doesn't work. I also get Unhandled Loop Exceptions. I've tried reinstalling eclipse but nothing seems to work....
Yep. I feel the same way about the Prof Nutt pity party. All things considered, Nutt would appear to lack at least two of the main qualifications for martyrdom. Take his supposed claim to victimhood: he was a quangocrat, now he's not. Ah well. Burning at the stake this isn't. Hey, it's hard to say anything nice about our politicians, but at least we can throw them out every now and again. Fringe kooks...
I read a lot of blogs, but this one — a regularly updated collection historical letters from the likes of Hugh Hefner, Dwight Eisenhower, Galileo, and Walt Disney — is worth sharing. Armen in particular will enjoy this gem from Matt Groening.

Classof1: Company has offered a refund for all Baby Einstein videos. Moms and dads bought them believing in the promo that baby would emerge from the crib a certified genius, if she watched them early. The refund is tacit admission that the videos did not live up to the claim. Kids who watched them consistently have not become geniuses. Infant intellect didn’t get a boost.
