  4. Re:I need more info! on On the Trail to Atlantis · · Score: 1

    Another possibility is that atlantis didn't disappear. The story originally comes from egypt(through plato) and if there were a giant tidal wave from a caldera(when a valcano spits out so much lava it collapses) then we could prettey much assume that the coastal areas and ships would be devastated.
    Now the egyptians are used to floods, happens every year in fact, so they don't think too much if its a little bigger one year. But then the ships from atlantis suddenly stop coming. For all intents and purposes atlantis has "disappeared". What was the most advanced and powerful culture in the mediteranean at the time, Minoan Crete, is probably the location of atlantis.

  5. Re:I wonder if it'll eventually come to this - on Diamond Age Approaching? · · Score: 1

    Haven't gotten any better than 60 years ago? Of course they have. No way we could have done anything close to aibo 60 years ago. Not to mention the autonomous aerial vehicles that are out there now. I suppose you could write that off as only reductions in size but that doesn't take into account the software advances.

  6. Re:Don't buy diamonds now on Diamond Age Approaching? · · Score: 1

    Well OPEC doesn't have a monopoly, but anymore neither does DeBeers. Russian and Austrelian diamonds are really making a dent, DeBeers is down to around %50 of the world market. In fact they are, as we type, negotiating with the US to settle their monopoly case. Currently their executives are not allowed into the US.

  10. Re:Great.... on Record Industry Sues 532 More U.S. File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    I think the difference is this time they actually filed the suit, before they just filed subpoenas. Which is probably why they just filed against schools; they are less likely to resist. When they next file against ISPs they'll be in for a good time.

  11. Re:Time is against them on Record Industry Sues 532 More U.S. File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    I would go you one further and say that because in the case you lose the lawsuit the money will be forced from you(up to and including your home most likely) it is not even a loose fit for the term terrorism. More people need to realize that when a definition includes the word "organization", it means the government, too.

    they don't have to make them secure, they just have to get their pol buddies to buy them.

  13. Re:Super Tuesday on Super Tuesday Not So Super For Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    The parties aaren't in charge of running the primaries, the state governments are. The party does choose how they will select a canidate(IIRC) but if they choose to have a primary then it is at a time and place of the states choosing. So theoretically the federal government could require all the states to have the primaries at the same time, but it would likely require a constitutional amendment.
