  1. Re:Yes, I know on Assange: Facebook 'the Most Appalling Spy Machine' Ever · · Score: 2

    Come on now, there are far worse monstrosities in the world today than Facebook telling the world on accident that you cheat on your significant other or do drugs.

    Just because there are worse monstrosities doesn't mean we have to accept all the lesser monstrosities.

    just missed the mentioning of religious delusions - wich makes for an even more worrying constellation.

    I think this refers to bringing together the guys with the ideas and the guys with the capital.
    That may have been the function of wall street once - before they made a casino of it.
    (even a bad one if you ask me - no free drinks and if someone busts that bank the taxpayer gets the bill.)

    Unless its about cartoon mice.
    Then you probably would have to wait forever (minus a day).

    thank you very much for saving me from some typing.

  11. Why a beam? on Does Antimatter Fall Up Or Down? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Quote:
    The idea is to fire a beam of antihydogen atoms at a target and see how much they are deflected by gravity.

    That's easier said than done. Creating a beam of this stuff turns out to be remarkably tricky. The problem is that it's easy enough to trap antiprotons and positrons in electromagnetic fields. It's even fairly straightforwad to put them together so that they form antihydrogen. The problem is that antihydrogen is neutral and simply falls out of the trap. So some way has to be found to collect and trap these antiatoms.
    ---
    Uh - can somebody explain to me why they need a beam and don`t just take a look if the antihydrogen falls out on the bottom or the top of the trap?

  12. Re:I may be the only one but on Microsoft and LG Electronics Sign Linux Covenant · · Score: 0

    And Silverlight is already described by M$ as being "cross-platform and cross-browser". What more do you want?!
    errm..as far as I know Microsoft saying "cross platform" means "it can run under older versions of Windows or IE too"

    No - but Linux runs it - and you have not even to be in soviet Russia for this to work.

    I don't think it's about the Islam itself.
    This religion is only used as tool to control the people.
    To point at Islam itself would be the wrong way. Not all Muslims are fundamentalists.

    That was my first thought too. :)

    And perhaps if the first martian colonists will truly live there, they may sometimes think: "Damn should have stayed in the good ol' caves on earth!"

    It seems to me that too many young people today want everything to be fun and easy.

    But of corse it takes some work to keep live fun and easy.
