Re: holy cannoli
I think I'm done here. If definitional questions in regard to basic words are "abstruse" and too difficult to deal with coherently, then there just aren't any useful tools here. Have fun in the...

Re: holy cannoli
The instant an argument conflates "theory" with "hypothesis" it becomes clear that whoever is mounting the argument is either stupid or dishonest. Either way, they've conceded the point by...

Re: holy cannoli
Engineering is not science. Engineers are not scientists. Engineers make or design things. The test for the quality of an engineer's work is whether or not the things function within the...

Re: Some issues with Disquss

Re: What I will miss about vBulletin...

Good grief. Florian, you are arguing with the most obtuse (your word, and perfectly apt) person on the internet. You can score every point in the debate (as you have) and it will never change the...

I don't take sides the way you've implied.
And what you called my "point" wasn't. I was pretty explicit in the last sentence of my post.

Re: Means and Ends (Joshua Cohen & Glenn Loury)
