You can bail prematurely, but all the while I'll be trying my damn best to help. Doesn't mean I don't have a lifeboat hidden and fully stocked though...
I'm cynical as hell, but I'm not about to completely give up trying to better things. Perhaps we are a bus without brakes heading towards the cliff and everybody is just buckling up for the finale, but I don't think staring at your feet and kicking rocks makes anything better. Cynicism does not make things better. We all on the titanic, and its going to take a group effort to steer us away from the iceberg.
Just understand that all I'm saying is I believe it is worthwhile to make an attempt to better things through reason and truth, for if we don't try we will only succumb to the inevitable. Now that I have run out of lame metaphors, time to grab a beer and read a good book.
nutters never assassinate the politicians who actually deserve a bullet in the fucking head
If your suggesting the only way to progress for the people is the ammo box, then by your count any conversation is a moot point. We saw that during November it is possible to energize a base to kick a bunch of the wankers out of office. Regardless of your stance on the new republican congress, November showed that it is possible to get grassroots movements to actually make a difference.
For serious change for the benefit of America, we need an intelligent 3rd party to form. A party of logic, reason, etiquette, balance, science, and honesty. Platform on it. Be forthcoming with all your flaws upfront so the other side has nothing to use, then just use pure logic, reason, and statistics to move forward. If we had a party of pure logical thinking, take away all political correctness, all blatant chest-pumping nationalism, all the empty rhetoric, and just stated reasonable goals, never waiving from them unless its logical, perhaps America might take the step in the correct direction.
No politicians deserves what you say. They are all just pawns in the game that us, and the media have created. They are the best politicians we have. Because we created them. Now its time to make new, and better ones. Imagine an America were the world 'politician' was considered a bygone, and all future people involved in national decisions had degrees in science, technology, medicine, etc. Perhaps we should make a PhD (in anything but business) a requirement for future presidential applicants.
I challenge you to go out tomorrow and start the discussion. With people IRL and not OL. I do. I try everyday. If it makes no difference, in my heart I know I at least tried to start a rational discussion, instead of giving up. Americans are capable of a lot of things, and if we lose complete faith in the country then the republic will be lost due to our own apathy. And it won't be due to the ignorant, but instead due to those too lazy or apathetic to enlighten the ignorant.
Every time I pay attention to American politics, I find myself thinking that Lee Harvey Oswald had the right idea.
You must be fucking joking. The Kennedy's were pretty big fans of ending our never-ending war in Vietnam, and boom Bobby and Johnny both get shot in the fucking head. Beside some of their shady backdoor dealings, they at least understood the threat of the military industrial complex. Once Kennedy started pushing for more transparency and oversight in the CIA, well, his days were numbered. I am not saying it was an inside job, but what I am saying is when a politician actually stands up for Doing the Right Thing (TM), they usually don't last very long politically, and sometimes biologically as well. Asking to incite violence like you are insinuating is not the answer, and is only going to lead us down the road to stricter control and more loss of privacy and rights.
Can I just say that now is probably a good time to invest in the tech industry. Since/. has redesigned the site, I believe productivity levels in the industry will be on the rise due to the number of commenters leaving in droves.
I don't disagree too much, but let me fix something for you:
The psychotic rants from Sarah Palin are already LOL-worthy
Now, when you calm down and come out of left-vs-right land, do realize that the vast majority of politicos suckle the tit of the corporations and do not work for you. Not left-or-right, just a collective them screwing you. The 'poor-progressives' are no worse than the 'evil-neocons'. They are the same turd, one wrapped in handouts and sunshine paper, while the other is wrapped in American flags and chest-thumping. But still turds.
I don't know, I still think its a big deal, because if it is as I suspected above, downmodding one parent with 100 children could hide a handful of +3 to +5 insightful comments for no reason other than their parent was rated unworthy. That seems like a design flaw to me, and good and final reason to not obsessively press F5 on this site any more.
Is it just me, or in the "new layout" are comments seriously hidden if their parent isn't within the current threshold, but the child is? This comment contains a +5 child, but since it is under a troll-rated parent, I can't see it when browsing on a 5-2 threshold range. How does this stuff even make it to deployment?
Seriously, what's the problem with running a search on the 'From:'?
At 986 days we're talking about processing at a rate of twenty-five emails a day.
foreach (string s in ToFromFieldCollection)
{
(if s == "Sarah Palin")
{PointAndLaugh();}
}
Needless to say the programmer has been promoted for his hilarity. It is either that, or she sends each email one letter at a time, which wouldn't surprise me at this rate.
So the kid who guesses her security questions with answers that were guessable based on her Wikipedia profile gets hard time for posting her private emails online (not to mention that she used her private account for some work emails as well allegedly), all the while Palin Inc. LTD LLC is taking its sweet time releasing the actual campaign emails because I'm guessing (this is pure speculation) that there is content in there that the GOP is afraid the Palinites won't cherish dearly.
I hope she runs for office, and is put to shame at the ballot box. I am so sick of hearing about this washed up nobody anti-intellectual and her following of people who have been fleeced by her PR handlers into thinking she actually has the mental cahones of more than a donut.
It means:
- It will be locked down.
- Touch interaction with 'models' will be disabled.
- Page turning will be forced on a 20 second timer to ensure users don't get too 'excited'.
- All images of screwing will be replaced with 'pentalobular interaction'.
- Steve Jobs will read the articles via a quaint brittish accent TTS engine.
- All images will come with an accompanying 'I'm Offended!' reporting link.
- All nipple shots will be replaced with miniature Natalie Portman faces.
I don't have a citation, but from what I've read Comcast has some of the shittiest customer service of them all. You get AOL-Time Warner, Comcast-NBC, I'm sure there are others. As the media producers combine with the new-age distribution channels, we are going to get the corporate internet we all dread. Its coming, and Washington isn't going to do a fucking thing about it.
Its going to be like AOL all over again, except you will have to pay extra for third party email, third party content. Shit--ISP and backbone peering, that will disappear. Traffic shaping will get worse. Protocol throttling. Worse. These are the golden years of the internet, and I dare say that it will only become more degredated as the conglomerates consummate their blood-lust for money. Maybe it will get better.
Perhaps its time to start and open-source organization for developing a true ad-hoc mech network. Get like an android powered WAN/Router/DNS box, have it link up with other boxes nearby, ad infinitum. Something like that to get 'off the grid'. If enough people (and I mean enough) had them, perhaps we could go back to people run internet, and not corporate run. Granted you would lose much of the benefits of the preexisting infrastructure, but at what point do you have to draw the line instead of just continually taking fees up the ass?
Before everybody goes all gung-ho against G-S for this move, think of how many of you would also comment along the lines of "Who would invest in Facebook? It is just another bubble waiting to burst." I'm not qualifying anything there doing, I'm just sayin...
Not even cracked. Please stop talking about this guy like he has some computer wiizardry - he guessed at recovery questions. If I leave a riddle taped to my safe that gives the combo when solved, how angry can I be when somebody figures it out?
If my car has only a thin, brittle piece of glass protecting it from being entered into and driven off without my consent, how angry can I be when someone figures it out?
Bad analogy, meet car analogy. Hoyoooooo!
Parent was complaining that the term 'hacker' has been spun by the media and is flagrantly over-used for even the simplest minute mischief on a computer. Somebody who breaks glass and jacks the car is like a script-kiddie (akin to our friend David Kernell), and equating him with true hackers, say, like the people who wrote Stuxnet or people who hack an ECU to bypass electronic ignition, well, there are different echelons of knowledge required to cross that gap.
Parent, like many of us here, deep down in our hearts cannot fucking stand that the media lumps everybody in one big giant stereotype, because by doing so the commoner hears the word hacker and immediately has about twenty preconceived notions about the individual. Same thing for words like 'Tea-Party' or 'Socialist', or 'Activist'. There are good and bad of both, but stereotypes take independent analysis and critical thinking out of the reporting equation because just using the stereotypical word removes half of the breaking stories exposition, and usually unfairly against the reportee.
But then it doesn't sound cool! If only mainstream media would realize that what is considered 'dry' is still actually quite amazing when you think about it. I believe the concept of the electromagnetic field permeating charged objects and exerting 'spooky-action-at-a-distance' is just as captivating as 'teleportation'.
So the entire purpose of the Tevatron in the eyes of the politicians is that of a facility that will either find/not find the Higgs? The political community and those in control of the purse-strings only want the ability of Nationalistic chest-pumping of verifying Peter Higg's field and mass generating boson, but aside from that I am fairly sure science goes out the window past the international pissing contest. Are you telling me that a particle acceleration facility like that has not future economically or scientifically stimulating value, and that the immediate value of undercutting funding / shutdown is higher than the long-term scientific value to humanity?!?!
Until bankers and high-frequency traders discover a Unified Field Theory, or politicians can deduce a solution to the Riemann Hypothesis, or the lobbyist can solve Navier-Stokes, leave the big-boys alone to do Real Work (TM). Otherwise we will continually squander true talent in this country, pushing those with scientific inclinations to other parts of the world where it is actually valued.
Voodoo priests and priests of other stripes performed the modern role of physicists when we first climbed down from the trees. The modern scientific method evolved from the religions of the past.
Just...no. You are trolling, joking, or have been deluded (perhaps diluted to, depending on your IQ concentration). The modern scientific method evolved by breaking away from religions of the past, choosing to investigate rather than just take things at face value. I think you will find religion consistantly changing their outlook towards the universe as science progresses, and not the other way around. When was the last time a religious breakthrough shaped science? Perhaps you were referring to the dark-age witch-hunts, in which anybody with critical thinking was a co-conspirator to witches?
And as humans are involved, both religion and science are approximations of reality. Not reality itself.
You really can't just use those two words interchangeably. Religion is an approximation of reality in the same way that cults are collaborative, critical-thinkers, able to accept and reject presented notions at the behest of logic and reason.
As far as the here and now, I'll take the scientific method over religion, but I see this as a continuum, not an quantum thing.
I am glad that you will take science over religion, but it doesn't have to be an either or. You can be a through and through practitioner of theoretical physics, but still retain some spirituality. I draw a line between 'die-hard religionism' and spirituality, the two are not mutually inclusive. Just as science and spirituality doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. These modes thought course don't make good television, ergo the reason for such a rift between belief in the spiritual unknown vs. study of the physical unknown.
You're either trolling or deluded. There is plenty of observational evidence for black holes. See the center of our galaxy. While it is true that relativity and QCD/QED have not been reconciled, and the Standard Model is incomplete at best, they are the best models we have to date.
Science is about forming a testable hypothesis, testing it, and looking at the data. If your hypothesis was wrong, admit it and move on to the next thing. Infinite densities are only forbidden in the sense that they don't fit nicely in the models framework, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the model should be shelved. What you are suggesting is throwing away the experimentalists evidence for black holes because it doesn't fit perfectly with our contrived explanations. You're doing it wrong.
Since relativity and bending of light due to space-time curvature has been experimentally confirmed, meaning light's path can be 'changed' in the sense that we view it (it turns out that the light never really 'curves', but instead it follows a straight line in a curved space, but its all relative, right?), what would you call an area of mass so dense in which light could not escape?
Exactly, its a chicken and egg problem, and this finding just provides further evidence that the order of Star/Galaxy/Black Hole creation is still up in the air, seeing as they are finding younger/smaller galaxies with black holes, which pushes the lower boundary for black hole formation even further. It is still a chicken and egg problem, though (from what I gather).
Oh most definitely, I personally believe its only a matter of time before your average support is considered 'anti-American' and should be penalized for their thoughts. Oh wait, that is actually already happening.
Page 4 of the subpoena covers it, but for the TL;DR crowd, you are a supporter if, FTA:
Among those targeted are WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Dutch hacker Rop Gonggrijp (whose name is misspelled in the subpoena) and Bradley Manning, the US Army intelligence analyst suspected of leaking documents to WikiLeaks.
Also named in the subpoena are computer programmer Jacob Appelbaum (identified by his Twitter username, ioerror) and former WikiLeaks volunteer and current Icelandic parliament member Birgitta Jónsdóttir (left), who wrote the following in a tweet: “just got this: Twitter has received legal process requesting information regarding your Twitter account in (relation to wikileaks).”
They are going for high-profile participants who actually are suspected in playing an active role in the leaks.
CIA/NSA isn't going to waste harddrive space recording A. Joe Dotter's flaming posts about the government.
Exactly, those gigabytes of child porn for 'evidence archive purposes' don't come free, especially at contractor prices. $800 a GB for archiving hand-drawn lolicon takes precedence. To the cloud!
