    Lol... If only you had a brain capable of understanding skepticism expressed as a joke. Then you might not make this even more ironic.... you know.... using an ad hominem on me to detract from the valid skepticism of Murdoch-guided media.... If only you could work for him; his employees love ad hominem as a method of distraction.

    In other words, make the changes that the educated people said to make 30-40 years ago, at some goddamned point in life.... Had we started changes then, it would be more comfortably achieved.

    Most of the issues you take have had real, workable, answers for at least a decade, if not two; the perception of viability resting largely on whether the capital news networks told you, or if you read and understood the science behind the inventions/alternatives. No, I don't have time to spoonfeed, but I can offer a suggestion to quit receiving 'information' that you might perceive as 'facts' from mainstream capital invested media sources.

  10. Time for the net-neutrality 'activist plugin' on Downloads of DoS Attack Tool LOIC Spike · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've got an idea, but I don't develop/code software.... someone please run with this....

    Make a plugin for browsers that denies or blocks access to sites for companies that are actively pushing to destroy net neutrality. Like most blacklists, they are maintained by a source that tries to keep up to date, and upon whom the subscribers bestow trust (that the sites are indeed pushing against net neutrality).

    A few ideas...

    1) Block site, and reference evidence as to why.
    2) Offer option to continue to the site (lets say you've got to pay your ATT bill online or something, but you like the filter for most other reasons but were forced to choose ATT for an ISP thanks to oligopoly).
    3) Link to donations for EFF or other pro-net-neutrality activism groups?

    Anyway.. I feel like something like this, if produced well, and promoted, would catch the eye of even the layman who may be interested, and want to be supportive, but may not actively follow the unfolding drama around the topic... The outcry against SOPA/PIPA clearly grabbed the attention of many who are politically inept or disinterested, and they motivated well. It would be nice to see a plugin like this spread with public support.

    Lots of arguments with facts have been made. few, if any, with facts to the contrary have been made.

    Its a bad thing. Study some biology and find out why. I think the people that understand why are done trying to explain to closed ears, and the only way you'll every 'get it' is to have the background knowledge. To put it in car terms: you can't know if your motor needs to be rebuilt or not, when the mechanic says so, if you have no working knowledge of what a blown motor looks like, or any of the evidence around it.

    A better explanation is that our taxes and representatives sent people abroad, on our behalf, to do things for us that re far far more heinous than urinating on a corpse. So heinous, in fact, that the psyche of our soldiers becomes a casualty, and their perspective and humanity dying with every horrid moment. Killing other human beings, and in the ways we do, has serious detrimental effects that can be directly blamed for pissing on bodies. Essentially, and as you stated prior, this is war. If we're going to pay close attention, expect far worse.

    I = inosine, used as a base tht complements any of the 4 main bases. It isnt in natural nucleic acid, but is found in, for example, degenerate PCR primers where some nucleotides in the target sequences may be varied and whose positons are likely identified as single nucleotide polymorphisms.
