StumbleUpon: Personalized Recommendations to Help You Discover the Best of the Web - http://www.stumbleupon.com
Update: To whom it may concern, I can be found here. http://www.myspace.com/brandon... http://friendfeed.com/innomen Where to begin? Ruled by silly little brats with porn and poetry. Unconstitutional EULA restrictions. Inability to introduce a page unless you claim to like it, despite how much people enjoy complaining. Inability to respond to reviews. Removal of classic layout. Inability to archive or backup your blog. Absurdly small character limits, and dimension limits for images. Tactical patenting lock down of a profoundly important type of information system. Update: I was recently told that there are many like me here and that I need to continue writing reviews because they serve a purpose. I want to explain something because they served a personal purpose as well. I truly felt free to say whatever was on my mind here. I no longer feel that way. I feel like a fool for having dedicated so many hours in creating content and introducing so many people. Literally my entire... - Brandon M. Sergent

Technology Review: Blogs: arXiv blog: Physicists Calculate Number of Universes in the Multiverse - http://www.technologyreview.com/blog...
Oh for fucks sake. They get PAID for this? This is pink unicorn crap. God the cult of QM scares the hell out of me. I swear I honestly would not be shocked if some fringe scientist sacrificed a virgin trying to manifest the higgs boson on that grounds that the virgin at the time of death produced some sort of special observational quality. These people should be given two choices. Go work on the hadron collider, or if you're not good enough for that, go teach basic standard model goodness. Don't get me wrong I think nasa deserves dollar for dollar our defense budget, I am not a science hater, but this is totally a waste. - Brandon M. Sergent

Nice little flash tech demo. Quit treating it like an astronomy lesson guys. P.S. Did anyone else try to click and drag them to collision? :P I should probably be ashamed. - Brandon M. Sergent

Don't worry I'm sure we'll eventually see people demanding chemical castration for hackers and pirates, or something equally absurd. I mean the rights of these multi billion dollar international corporations have to be protected, from us dangerous little people, yea? - Brandon M. Sergent

This post is a response to the idea that if a guy (me) is single he must therefor be a loser. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to discover my own posts, but I'm going to start until scolded. - Brandon M. Sergent

From the page: "scientists have found that gene therapy to deliver vasopressin receptor genes into the ventral pallidum part of the brain made male meadow voles become uncharacteristically monogamous." Oh boy, now there is a "cure" for people like me. *facepalm* OH well, important studies and information, regardless of potential nefarious application. - Brandon M. Sergent

Alan Turing "...was prosecuted for being a homosexual, stripped of his security clearance, and subjected to chemical castration. He killed himself two years later. " And to think we're considering chemical castration again. We're a shameful shameful species. - Brandon M. Sergent

Simply because making a code is orders of magnitude easier. look up the basic difficulty difference between multiplication and division. Division is fundamentally harder, decryption for the same reason. But I get your point, and agree that we need to learn to separate admiring an accomplishment from agreeing with their ideology. it's like when you say "Hitler was a good public speaker." Why the need to constantly qualify that statement? Because people are stupid thats why. - Brandon M. Sergent

5 Open Source Alternatives | Sherweb blog - http://blog.sherweb.com/5-open-...
Doing so well until open office. I'm an ubuntu user, a software pirate and an extreme open source advocate, but being a writer, avid blogger, and one time office worker, I can tell you, open office is garbage. They made up thier own indecierable (literally, go ask them) standard for their user dictionary file, when it should have been plain text. Also their spell checker is incapable of ignoring urls. That and it still looks like its from the 80s. Clearly they've never used any of these applications, thus the list if useful is coincidence. Audacity does rock, however. - Brandon M. Sergent

You know, I'd consider moving just for that. The idea of a town that actually celebrates Halloween is intoxicating. My town pretty well doesn't, being ruled by rich Christians. - Brandon M. Sergent

My regrets on your traumatic brain damage! : Pharyngula - http://scienceblogs.com/pharyng...
From the page: "The real shock to both of them ought to be that they haven't been paying any attention to what all these New Atheists have been saying all along." This upsets me only because "New Atheists" is totally a rip off of my term "Neoatheists" Which I've been using for a couple years at least. On the other hand, I suppose its nice to see that my vision is being adopted, regardless of its origin. Though I must admit in my view, Mr Myers is a big childish dogmatic dick head who is more interested in ego stroking and making fun than achieving any sort of advance for humanity. Ironically he is exactly like the people he makes fun of and has the exact same shit traits. He simply wants to destroy his enemy, his work is self service in the guise of altruism, and finally he's totally incapable of rational debate without resorting to name calling and other personal attacks. In other words, the very image of a modern Neoathiest. Though by a slim technicality I may be a deist, for all... - Brandon M. Sergent

Keep dreaming guys. If you think what you want matters in the slightest to them you're brain dead. eBay was more responsive to user needs and that's really saying something. I have like 50 obvious spamblers in my "want to be friends" type list, I reported every last one of them. They don't care. So long as new users, fake or not, and that ad money keeps rolling in, nothing will change. These recent upgrades are not about you and me, its about advertisers and what their representatives think "hip" and "fresh" look like. And rest assured if what you have to say upsets one of the upperclassmen, which in this context is the ever popular young attractive female which drags in lonely males by the dozen, it will be removed.

Political Irony & The Real Reason Obama Got the Peace Prize - http://politicalirony.com/2009...
"Why does everyone keep assuming that they were only giving him the award for what he has done as president?" Because the vast majority of Americans couldn't name 5 congressmen if they had a shotgun at their back. Obama didn't exist for them until he ran for president, and they project that ignorance onto the committee. Simple. - Brandon M. Sergent

The Biocentric Universe Theory: Life Creates Time, Space, and the Cosmos Itself | Cosmology | DISCOVER Magazine - http://discovermagazine.com/2009...
I was waiting for this. It's a perfectly natural outgrowth of the mystic religious bullshit that QM is based on. You all think observation alters reality, you think that merely knowing the speed of a particle changes its position. You think a range of answers counts as a single answer, so why not extend that fudge factor to allow the whole universe to be a figment? QM is the modern version of "God did it." - Brandon M. Sergent

A "bad" person? By what criteria? My existence causes greater total pleasure than if I were to not exist. That's enough for me. If you have some magic alternate definition that allows you to be a source of pain and still be a good person, thats your business, But I reject all such mythology. And sleep like a baby, I might add. And of course I talk about myself, on my blog. Imagine that. Go sell your slavethink somewhere else, i'm not buying. :) - Brandon M. Sergent

These are awesome, and examples of the power of unleashed genetic potential. Please don't try to tell me this is possible for anyway. Also, in my school system these people would not have been allowed to advance. Regardless of intelligence shown the point was completion of work and shows of obedience. - Brandon M. Sergent
