    More to this....
    I turn off the radio when I hear certain music hip-hop-rap/manufactured-Pop/country
    I turn of my off/over my tv when I see soap-operas/big-brother/survivor/ads
    I don't go to church/synagog/temple to listen to religous propaganda/worship falsehoods
    I don't buy magazines/newspapers with trash in them... (haven't bought a printed new item for a long, long time.)

    I have adzapper installed to avoid the content that I'm not at all interested in.
    I guess I exercise my habit/right/nature to choose. In all of these areas there seems to be some sort of opion projected.

    Maybe due to the fact that I being told that I could save money or am losing money or I haven't got the fastest grunt master out, I block ads. Most ads contain another opinion that I know has an another motive (part me and my hard earned/saved $$) and is more than likely being deceitful. .... or not reading into it too much, ads seeming annoying.

    Sorry dude.. your right... I'm going to try and get a government contract to make land mines... That could employ atleast 100 people and then there would be the indirect jobs created from those jobs, 5-20.
    Unfortunatelly I've had relatives who used to work in small arms factories... these got closed down, mainly due to economic pressure and they have basically been unemployed since then. Government initiatives that positivily impact the community/environment should be made available to these people to avoid serious social consequences. Newcastle took 5 years until a disgruntled defacto relationship ended in several deaths, (stabbings) due to not enough being done to get the old steel workers into employment.
    Government's can always spend money smarter/better/etc... and my main point of spending it on starwars technology is such a waste of money when it could be better spent else where when some moral conviction is taken into account rather fear and greed by feeding fear. ... and that's my 2 cents.

  8. Green Peace on Shale Oil on Practical Method for Getting Oil from Oil Shale? · · Score: 1

    Not wanting to sound like too much of a hippie, but current shale oil technics are rather destructive.

    http://www.greenpeace.org.au/climate/causes/crimin als/shaleoil/overview.html

    Our reliance on fossil fuels is quite astonding (spelling??) in this current day. I mean we've been using such fuels for over 100 years (almost 150?). I'm sure there has always been a pretense that this stuff (coal, oil, uranium) was going to run out, you'd think we would have cut our depedency from these fuel sources years ago. I guess too few people are making too much money from exploiting such resources and the resources are plenty enough to last out their generation.

  10. The Official God FAQ on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    The answer to the ultimate question can be found here,
    The Official God FAQ

    A couple of quotes which reflect two individuals stance on religion in schools. Will it result in Genocide in both cases? Should we have taken action against either nation when we new such ideals were being proposed by it's leaders?

    Learn how to look after 18000 animals on a single vessel with 11 crew.

    My thoughts on Moses... a failing political leader who needed a strong moral line to maintain his position/dictatorship.

    Imagine you are the leader of a people who are enduring various hardships with you main political power edge being the promise leading the people into the choosen land, to then be blessed with riches... after a couple years.. the line loses it touch... people start doubting your leadership and your main drive, the God figure. What would you do? Something drastic... something very, very drastic. Now you know you still have quite a strong power base, if you can do something to strengthen/manipulate this power base and their beliefs you might be able to use them as a stronger more influential power base. The best way we know to convince people of your position and throw ignorance to your insuitability as a leader is to appeal to their morals. You needed a plan... very unprobable but it could be pulled off... Invent some rules with .... from God's words!!!! which will appeal to there moral convictions but also stop uprisings against your powerbase....

    The plan had an initial failing. For when Moses went off to enact his plot those factions against his rule took this opportunity to foster their own beliefs and forge their political careers. When Moses came back to break out his 10 rules ploy and found others stiring up their beliefs... he was pissed... really pissed. This could be it for him... though the 10 rules idea really seemed to stick with his followers... there was a chance to do it all again... with a little bit more political nouse he pulled it off by embedding a political stance inside 8-9 strong moral stances. If you were to changlenge his story of "Receiving these 10 rules from God" this could also be turned around to say you didn't follow the moral stances of the other rules and could be accused of adultrey, murder etc.

    Who would have thought a religion could have been based on a failing politicians outrageous ploy 2000 years into the future??

    Modern day "10 rules ploy" believers will even call me immoral for taking this stance...

    Well, in that case, I'd better come with my own ploy. I was spoken to by God and he said that the coming of Christ was to happen in the new America.... shit, John Morman already used that one...

    I know, how about this one...

    Let me create a form of pshyciatric treatment to be based certain feelings in events that have happened in your life... I'll call it dianetics!!! Shit.... already been done too.... and I can't really be bothered fabricating an illustrious naval career. Damn you R. L. Hubbard!. A good example though of how stupid people are and how they will believe in absolutely anything...

    I know, I'll call myself the son of God... all fall before me and I shall deliver you from an evil, dirty, nasty place which doesn't actual exist... and send me your donation so I can be holy by owning lots of property, influencing political leadings... and employing those disadvantaged in life on the minimum wage. I shall call this new religion Stupidity. It shall be backed by "The book of fables" believe in it or you shall be accused of eating babies... Let Stupidity be spread through out the world and hope that one day all people will be united by Stupidity. Teach your children to believe in Stupidity!!! Lets have Stupidity in our schools, pray for Stupidity!! Stupidity can heal you.

  15. Re:Turning off the computer is costly on Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Boot up time 5 mins, not such a great business loss, good for the initial water/coffee fill up at the start of the day.

    However, after having worked with hardware for several years I believe that switching off you computer each night will end up costing more in some situations. Using the worst known comparison in the world computers/motorvechiles, the warming up and cooling down process is probably more destructive to hardware (engine, drive assembly/harddrive, fans, power supply) than the constant running of these items.

    From my experience I have had a PII333 (not server hardware) running constantly for the past 6 years with a (from what I've heard are awful and mostly dead) Quantum fireball 6.4G hard drive and have only replaced the power supply fan (It got full of dust). Likewise I got about 230000km out of my 1.6 Ltr car engine, whereas I've heard of taxi's getting well over 500000km before needing a recondition. Yes they have much larger engines which are able to do a greater milage, still...

    When you start powering up (warmup from cold) each day your going to be asking for more hardware issues resulting in much more support and downtime. However, turnoff your CRT, they really suck down the juice.

    This is only my humble opinion and I would encourage anyone to prove otherwise.

    Just glad I don't live in a third world country that's name is hard to pronounce...

    Australia just re-elected their conservative right-wing government in for a forth term. The challenger on our front though probably went a bit crazy on the pre-election promises (half promises... well okay, lies!!!!) and offered to make a couple of thousand timber folk unemployed so that didn't do him any good.

    Our Prime minister John Howard came out supporting a Bush election victory the week before the election, which doesn't seems totally senseless as he would probably feel quite a chill around the ears with a President Kerry as he has he's head so far up Dubya's arse. A majority of Australians didn't support the Iraq invasion. I think probably half+ of the liberal party supporters are hoping that John Howard retire halfway through 2006. We can only hope.

    Anyway, just over 50% of you Americans suck (yeah I know, extremely high-brow critism) for re-electing your War president.
