  4. Re:Cause or effect? on Psychopaths Have Brain Structure Abnormality · · Score: 1

    It the becomes a question of game theory and even natural selection.

    Our society needs a way to deal with psychopaths/criminals even if they are not doing it out of choice.
    The societies that deal with them better end up with less psychopaths/criminals than those that do.

    The less psychopaths the more successful the society

    Back to where we are when we believed in free choice

    Something will pop up in it's place. The idealists are misplaced. The rest will just find a new way, but with the lessons learned.

    So with no soldiers to kill, it will be who runs out of money or civilians or infrastructure ...

    I agree it's better. Until now we were watching war on TV between mercenaries.

  13. Re:Why not on First Floating Wind Turbine Buoyed Off Norway · · Score: 1

    Craploads ... A backpack of Uranium is equivalent to a tanker load of oil. (The floating kind)
    All the radioactive waste ever created in the US could fit in one football field waist high.

    Flyash one of the resultants of burning coal is toxic now, and will be for ever. There is no half life.
    yet we produce it, and dump it. We create MEGAtonnes of it ... 1KG of Coal produced 2KG of CO2 and 0.7KG of flyash.
    Can you imagine replacing 500 tonnes of coal that you will use in a lifetime with a cup of uranium ?
    (If we are allowed to reprocess, make that a thimble)

    Then there is CO2 ... aaaa, don't worry about that.

    Basically there is a theory that most cancers are because of our dirty energy.
    There's scaremongering for you.

    I could keep going, but nuclear is the only technological solution that works now.

    It produces "NO" emissions. A tiny amount of radioactive polutant which is less than the radioactive
    pollutants coal burning produces but we store that in the atmosphere and hide it amongst the flyash,
    and the other heavy metals.

    Ignorant greenies are the second worst enemy of the environment. The worst are the corrporations who are laughting their heads off for getting the greenies to do their dirty work

    Anyway, let's stop actual solutions and make us feel warm an fuzzy ..

    To think that nuclear power could green every desert and eradicate world hunger.

    The reality is that it is happening now, so there is no stopping it.

  16. What footprint, are you guys nuts on Protecting the Apollo Landing Sites From Later Landings · · Score: 1

    OK a photo was taken of the first footprint. I am guessing they walked all over it during the mission.
    It was inconveniently placed at the bottom of the step ladder.

    It is unlikely to have survived the first few minutes, let alone the blastoff

    Isn't a used item that has shown some wear due to use ?
    A used computer game is as good as the day you baught it.
    It's only devaluation is that it is not the newest thing.

    The problem with games publishes is that there is very little
    new under the sun. In fact they are publishing "used" games
    in the concept that the games have already 'used" ideas
    and people are not prepared to pay top dollar

    They do not see enough difference between "used" games and "new" games

    "I would rather keep the ongoing debate and not have a decision"

    Amm ... fair enough and Gengis han let you live and go about your relegion but slaughtered you if you opposed him. Standard tactic applied by the Spartans. If you oppose, we will not stop unless your are all dead. If you run away, we will not chase you. Works very well in wars ...

    As for the Christians living in Muslim societies

    1. The Muslims regularily taxed Christians for their faith

    2. Converting to the Christian faith (from a Mulsim) is punishable by death

    3. Mulsim man marying a Christian Woman is OK so long as kids are Mulsim

    4. Mulsim woman marying a Christian man is punishable by death ...

    Think of it like game theory. These rules made sure you win battles and you spread Islam most effectively.

    No camera on the planet automatically does this blurring. So there is at a minimum a transition between unblurred and blurred photos.

  25. Re:Brain drugs. on More Fake Journals From Elsevier · · Score: 1

    Pzzzt ... People are not really looking at the micro scale of the brain to figure it's workings.

    Most the the brains miracles have been figured out. What they are trying to figure now is how to figure the micro scale. It is sort of like, they know how to play chess, they know how to play good chess but they have not explored every single possible combination.

    You kind of need to do a little homework, you will be surprised in what they do know and you will realise that even though there is a LOT of work to go, there are no miracles left
