How about a...
RAID?
Just about every solution is an endless blackhole of money to keep that data around. Hey, there's always tape ;)

Re:I disagree.
Our condition is our reality, and on the subjective level, the physicality of our world is taken for granted. Consciousness means experiencing duality. Everything we know must be processed one way or the other. The philosophers who focused on this duality set limits to what we can know, pointing out that we can in no way know "the world" as it actually is, that we can only know our perceptions of "the world". We take these perceptions to be the material world. The psyche mirrors an image, and the image can only be an abstraction being processed by the organism's nervous system. Without psyche, we do not experience matter. Consciousness may require we experience the duality of psyche and matter; but, theoretically uniting matter and psyche brings together the "physical" and "mental". This objective is consistent with Eastern Mysticism, which does not separate the observer from the observed, the subject from the object, etc.

Re:I disagree.
Perhaps we don't truely know of our consciousness at all. Check that out, it's a philosophy paper on the unus mundus.

Double the cookage
Well then, in addition to the deteriorating atmosphere a small increase in the Sun's output of radiation only compounds the global warming problem.
The threat of global warming is real. -
Re:Bias
Nothing that is so, is so. War is good for the world... that isn't so! The empire must appear virtuous, and not just unadulterated violenace. They follow the template for empire quite well, don't they?

Re:This is a bit harsh...
You hit the nail on the head error0x100, a fellow gortbuster indeed!
One of the only groups to realize this truth is the native americans, and they're having a hell of a time dealing with the bulldozing culture. -
Re:This is a bit harsh...
Yeah, the problem is that a highly US-driven mono-culture is sweeping the world. This mono-culture is best described by Daniel Quinn as Takers/Leavers, or if you will gorts and gortbusters.
Fundamentally, Life is killing. There are only two pathways from that statement: blasphemy and sanctity. You destroy a culture to implement english, Mc Donald's, Ford, and Victoria's Secret... much difference than expressing tolerance, preserving that culture to be remembered, and holding the people of that culture as equals. -

Re:On the war coverage in general...
Perhaps because people want to see things blow up (has anyone seen but one explosion yet?)
Power: The control of or unremitting desire to control the physical world by any means necessary.
Virtue: Self-sacrifice for the sake of truth.
Truth is the enemy of power.

We'll be seeing exploding civilians sometime soon... riiight. -
Re:Not a troll: How many civilians died last time?
I believe it was 150,000. That's what I heard at a Ramsey Clark speech.
-
Re:Does anyone find it odd...
You would think with every gort strapped to their TV for the night, they would at least give the people what they want: some big explosions on camera.
Maybe it's not time to see the exploding people.. yet. -
Re:First war post!
Yeah, the excellent media machine was working hard to sell another war to us. Peace was viewed as something for hippies. If people really knew what war was like, they might have a different view.
My grandfather recently died, he had skin cancer on the face from flying in old bombers and sitting in the sun w/o skin protection. I wonder what sort of lack of protection we'll see this go around! -

Hydrogen isn't ready... check out hybrids
I did some research and ended up chosing a Honda hybrid. There just wasn't enough of an availability to the consumer to drive something based on hydrogen. At least not yet.
My civic hybrid gets 45-47 MPG, is quiet as hell, and was fairly cheap. GM and Ford both have alternative fuel vehicle programs, but until I can go down to the local dealer and drive home with a hydrogen F-150, I'll be in a hybrid. -
Re:Doublespeak
Well let's be honest.. what do you REALLY think a "rebuilding" will look like. With most of the nation already poor (not much running water, electricity, education, or even food), do you think we'll rebuild those aspects of society first...
Or, do you think the big wig oil companies will move in and secure the oil fields and refineries.
Will we put in another quality leader, like we did Castro?
Do not forget the template for an empire. -
Re:Terrorism
Well if we use the new Napster we can make sure to give the music industry what they need: money to make bombs. So maybe in some twisted business relation that download really does indirectly support terrorism by reducing money to the war machine!
... Though, we have yet to see proof that music sales are really hurt.
It's just one massive web of headache. -
Far from flying..
We are barely moving towards environmentally safe cars. Think of the horrible traffic accidents in the air!
Looking at the available technologies (fuel cells,battery electric, and hybrids to name a few), there isn't a lot of choices right now on the market. One of the more interesting ones I saw were the bi-fueled vehicles, takes ethanol or gas and runs the same. Don't forget to check out GM's alternative vehicles in addition to Ford's. You can easily grab a Toyota Prius or Honda Civic Hybrid like I did. -
Re:Gas/Electric Hybrid cars are cool
The Honda Civic Hybrid comes with an optional manual transmission (though you won't find many on lots). According to this article, it appears to get fairly good pick-up.

An example of how
the Ocean area is under utilized. It is more than just a dumping ground for waste, and more than just a source of fancy foods. Maybe the recently reported new plane-like submarines will help us explore and find better ways of energy.

Re:All those fossil fuels!
There are many tyrannical and/or dictator-like people in the world. We don't even realize that because they don't sit on top of the world's second largest (i think) oil fields.
There are other reasons too, but let's not forget that Bush comes from big oil. We are now looking for Oil in africa, despite the poor governments that exist there.
This summarizes the oil situation. -

Re:All those fossil fuels!
I am referring to any society/culture that does not live in harmony with nature. Not to get all native-american on ya or other aboriginal society, but there is a clear disction to be made: humans lived for thousands of years without destroying the earth. We (meaning everyone from the past 2000 years, or even more recently) are screwing that up.
Take a look at ishmael.org, Daniel Quinn breaks it down into Takers and Leavers. aka, Gorts, and Gortbusters.
In regards to the other species, we should note that given the natural course of history the planet's natural animals are huge dinosaurs. They lasted for millions of years, the earth was a jungle planet for longer then we can imagine. -
All those fossil fuels!
This is one example of how our society is breeding the destruction of mother earth. I'm not knocking technology as much as I'm saying that we will pay any price to have the newest technology, the biggest SUV, etc.
This is just like the Detroit project which states how SUV's love of gasoline is help putting the US into war.
Aren't there other means for chip production?

Re:Conglomerates suck out the life
The music industry is like a large tentacled beast, business wise, with even ties to war businesses!
Take a look at MTV... good idea to have videos to express the artistic visuals for music. What is it really? A company run by brain -
Re:I doubt it
On the topic of corporate structure, would you believe that business wise the music industry tied to the war industry?
-
Re:Umm..
We love watching things squirm and die like that.
Ironically, it will be interesting to see how the method for music revenue changes.
Remember, the music industry is loosely associated with the war industry. -

Simple philosophy
This is simple philosophy, if one is one own's worst enemy, then as a collective, one collective must be their own worst enemy.
Did anyone see, "The Sum of All Fears"? Sure, it seemed to be a movie that tried to profit it off of gort-fears post-911, but in the movie it did show that the worst enemies of people are actually themselves.
And off topic, if yer wondering wtf a gort is, read it . Yes, the biggest gort of all is often yourself. -
Justice with MS?
Justice and dealing with MS is like oil and water, they are almost always separate.

Aliens?This was posted here:
In God is Red, a native view of religion. The author has a chapter about how the rise of near-eastern religions has some unexplained phenomenom that could theoretically support an exterterestial thesis. This idea came to rise thanks to populer writers having cited a catalog of strange and unexplained items such as:
- the large stones in Baalbek
- the lines of Nazca
- the dry-cell pottery battery of Mesopotamia
- citations in Ezekiel about flying wheels
Most arguments provide no substantial or prolonged argument to this point. One writer did try to present a comprehensive view of an ancient astronaut invasion and the consequences it had on the earth.
Zecharia Sitchin, in a four book series titled Earth Chronicles, cites many reasons to why the rise of Kingship and urban settlements could be attributed to an astronaut presence on earth.
While some of Sitchin's idea's beg credibility, there is a startling resemblence in some of the conclusions reached by Samuel Noah Kramer, an orthodox scholar of Sumerian studies and archeology. His book, History Begins at Sumer, endorses astronauts engaged in genetic engineering for a worker race.
To sum up his conclusions, he relates the possibilities of an urban-astronaut living amongst humans as compared to southern whites living amongst slaves in the Civil War era. If you remember the Old Testamet, god fairly vengeful and demanding of social graces of the people. The basic question on hand is what are the origins of civilized (or rather, urban) life and corresponding religion. How did it develop separate from all the native people around the world?
Believe it or not, but native people also have some stories about people visiting them, either cultural heros or possibly blond-haired white men. In either case, such a proposition had little affect on native people as they did not become so entrenched in urban life.
Scientifically it is interesting to note that copper was believed to been invented in ovens when cooking (ie some ore was used in the cooking-ware) and at the end there was some shinny copper when the ore was smelted. Well, to do this the primitive people would have to have cooked with a 1500 degree centigrade fire. Did someone see to do this in a vision? Were they lucy? Or did someone show them?
I personally lean towards vision or dumb luck.. what do others think? -
Remember, nothing that is so - is so.
Are you a gort? Do you believe that nothing that is so, is so? Of course everything is backwards where cigarettes are shown in all films, marketed towards children, and generally accepted in society. Whereas pronography is taboo, never shown to children, and socially shunned. Remember folks, nothing that is so is so. For a good lesson in this, go surf over to GortBusters.org for the daily news and forums on this subject.

Example of corporate power
Corporate power extends in other ways besides campaign finance. Look at the homeland security bill, which has provisions for protecting pharmaceutical companies from lawsuits - even when their products are willfully negligent!
A-hum... Oh spaceous skies.... -
What about AvantGo?
I know a lot of sites like this one, support AvantGo.
Do people still use this? I know it used to be fairly popular. -
