Wikipedia removes all mention of Neil deGrasse Tyson quote fabrication

• Microslop is the swiss cheese of software designers, a hacker''s paradise.

• Wikipedia also skims over the topic "no-go zones" without mentioning actual no go-zones.

  • So much of the left is like a parlor game. "OK, here are the rules: you have to explain a terrorist attack by a Muslim without using the words 'terrorist' or 'Muslim'... GO!"

• Tyson's thought for today:

  Obama authorized North Korea sanctions over cyber hacking. Solution there, it seems to me, is to create unhackable systems.

  Seriously. The guy tweeted that.

  He's an idiot.

  • Gosh, there's a notion nobody ever thought of: unhackable systems. I'll bet Microsoft has one out by the end of the day now that he's done the hard part of coming up with the idea.

• I used to contribute to Wikipedia until I learned the truth about their finances and liberal tilt on editing. Just like NPR and PBS, I use it but consider the source and don't give a penny for their begging campaigns.

  • They sent me a fundraising email very recently. I answered with a detailed explanation of why they will never get a penny from me. Specifically, I mentioned the long-time liberal asshole editor who prevented any information that contradicted Global Warming from being added to Wikipedia. That scandal grew so public, Wikipedia finally had to remove him but not before fifteen years or so of damage had been done to the knowledge base of the world. Now, with this story about deGrasse, I have another detail for the next time Wikipedia asks for money.

    • For a while recently, I was having a banner ad pop up on their page when I went there. They were begging for money, I just closed the ad and went about my merry way. If they think I am going to support a bunch of lying liberals (I know, I am being redundant) they are nuts!
      I refuse to source them for anything that might have any liberal slant possible. Mostly, it's just for general knowledge, or reference on a person's history.

• Wikipedia is a complete listing of the future distributions from the Ministry of Truth.

• While I was going back to college, ALL my instructors said they would not accept any citations or information from Wikipedia. If you used it you would fail the class. One young man argued that it has to be true because foist it is on the internet and everything there is true and second it is a work of the collective so therefore people were always checking and correcting. The professor that he argued with looked at him and said, "Young man, if you want to be part of a collective move to Cuba, everything on the internet is NOT true, and I don't think you'll be doing well in my class"......The entire class laughed at the student.. He dropped out of the class after about a month....I guess he went to one of the liberal Kalifornia state colleges.

  • Sounds like he wanted to be assimilated and be a Borg.

    • Well you might be right, look at the Borg, all the same, everyone equal, no dissent, one leader and everyone knows what everyone else thinks says and does....Sounds like democrats...

      • Resistance is FU tile

• I can understand that in the context of today's Litigation Society. Maybe they just don't want anything up that could possibly expose them to some sort of libel or defamation charge.
