  1. Not an issue for me on TV Networks Cutting Back On Commercials (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I discovered long time ago that I just don't get a cut on the ads I am forced to view in the form of $ paid.
    Every time, a person shows up on my door asking me to sign up for some dish or whatever service, I ask that question what my cut on it would be.
    Some laugh but all disappear and don't come back.

  2. With all this space hype - on Bill Confirming Property Rights For Asteroid Miners Passes the Senate (examiner.com) · · Score: 1

    Is there any knowledge about environmental impact this fantasy has?

    Heaving the tons of equipment and initial human support environment against native planets gravity - does it help the ionosphere destruction some more and if so, how much and what is put into the atmosphere, is it just burnt hydrogen (water) or ?? and how much energy is used to produce the fuel?

    How about bringing the harvest back - using the atmosphere as brake - how many more trillion-joules of energy would be put into the air and below?

    My guess, by the time this would fly, some more pressing issues need attention, but one never knows what strings are pulled on the bribed political body in this clown-theater, so the dream continues...

    Interesting times, that's a fact.

    As for voice - apparently, there were attempts to change course and to an emergency landing on another airport and there was apparently an emergency situation then communication broke up. Your Russian "" assumption is probably wrong. If there is a will to get this resolved, there is a way, as seen there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... No need for a 360x180 degree HD video. The delay in comments/news on black box content sure is weird and that's not addressed in your response.

  6. Does anyone trust those .... ? on Full Text of Trans-Pacific Partnership Released (Officially, This Time) (mfat.govt.nz) · · Score: 1

    Yearlong secrecy, closed doors, only some "chosen few" have a say and can vote... as it appears. What really is going on, nobody knows but one can only guess who will be benefiting from all that stuff.

    Late capitalism symptoms, assets are accumulated on certain layers of entities developing their own laws and procedures ballooning even more.

    Are actions performed benefiting the general population as a whole - hardly. Common sense actions are prevented and converted to serve those new laws in use harming instead of helping.

    If one looks at the arrogance and deny of individuals in this "other reality" to serve and supply common needs, it's disgusting.

    How many commons getting well, minimum pay or sustainable pay, have to work to create value to pay one higher uppers, be it a C?O, hedge fund or money manager? The value sucked in by some small layer in the upper crust needs to be generated somehow, who does it, the baloon blowers up there?

    Interesting times we life in, that's for sure. ...

  7. Black boxes ? on UK and US Suspect That ISIS Bomb Took Down Flight 9268 (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    They were found a couple of days after the crash and so far, it's only "suspected" what caused the crash. One would think that the data of those black boxes would reveal what was going on.

    On other plane crashes - to find the black boxes solved the cause of the crash and the reasons were published.

    Now this this, what is taking so long?
    Sure gives reason to speculation.

  11. Re:MS? Privacy? Direct lies now company policy? on Apple, Microsoft Tout Their Privacy Policies To Get Positive PR · · Score: 1

    All this "doublespeak" is done by people, not a "Company", so if one works in a company, one has to give up one's integrity and surrender to the - let's call it "company spirit".
    Why is this happening I don't know - is it fear driven (need to make a living some way, or some dream of "making it") and/or is the human mind so flexible that it just bends over and perceives this new program as reality?
    With a psycho/sociopath this is clearly a pathologic behavior pattern happening in that manner damaging him/her and others.

    Seems all this "double speak" coming from people working in big companies like Microsoft is simply sick - pathologic behavior and should be taken as such.
    It has a big component of separation - the one side creating this "double speak" sees the other side as object to be manipulated and tricked.

    Legislating clean air has worked. Check out the air in Los Angles now versus 30 years ago.

    Still ways to go - looking at the huge black clouds from diesel transport trucks going into the air at construction sites makes one wonder why this is happening. Fine dust particles staying in your lungs for good if you breathe that stuff in, which you do anyway.

    The "Rolling Coal" movement is another fad going on raising questions about mental competence.

    ...

    The role of very large corporate powers in government today is certainly concerning, but not entirely without precedent.

    True - but the magnitude, global impact, number of affected people, possibilities of transparency with global communication possibilities for "normal" people sure is different.

    The human mind (nervous system) structure allowing this to happen appears to be unchanged since the East India Company - maybe in smaller communities/tribal structures?

    If you look that single individuals manipulate millions of people into destructive acts - that basic feature may be happening since your ancestors started walking upright.

    I am glad this is finally catching some attention at slashdot, one of the greatest fraud attempts on people.

    If they have to be secretive about it, something is wrong. A global powergrab of multinational corporations, probably a first of that magnitude.

    Someone who puts out some "speech" or someone with a receptive nervous system to take this message in and goes gaga with it?

    I think the receptive part in this game owns the problem because it keeps it going.

    Seems to be a basic behavioral circuit in humans and to make laws managing this in some way or another leads to repression and makes the repressed impulse stronger.

  23. Firing someone what gives? on Nintendo Fires Employee For Speaking About Job On a Podcast · · Score: 1

    Seems some kind of power trip of people "in charge" often done due to the need of looking good.
     
    What does it to the person getting fired? Anything learned from it, getting a chance to do better?
      No such thing. Is it not a failure of the system in which this happen and the emergency solution is to terminate a person in a most humiliating way: Here is a cardboard box, pack your things and leave, you have no value!
     
      All looking good and satisfying to the outside s/he got fired - right so, s/he deserves it.
     
      Another way may be to use a system of issuing a warning and making the person understand and agree what happened was not OK, should be changed and if things are not changed, then some other measures may need to be taken.
     
      I can't help but seeing some kind of lynch mentality in those publizised people firing habits.
