  1. NO to Adobe! on Adobe Pushing For Flash and PDF In Open Government Initiative · · Score: 1

    I guess most of you do not realize that Adobe produces SpyWare by default in their own products?

    Flash for example has iesnare built into itself. This all allows machine profiling that everyone agrees to when you install their bullshit software!

    You can't trust a company that has already done something to make you distrust them.

  2. State run media alright! on Journalists Looking For Government Money · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Once you start getting $$$ from good ole goobermint teet they pretty much tell you what you can do. Same will happen with the media. After all, if they allow journalists to get money, how are they going to control who gets the $$$ or not?

    It's simple! They only fund people that are "favorable" to this years 'fad' administration.

  3. Time does not exist on The LHC, the Higgs Boson, and the Chicago Cubs · · Score: 1

    Time does not exist in corporeal reality. It only exists in concept as a tool to methodically track and gauge the progression of the state of matter/energy.

    Math is a concept, abstract, invention of the mind. Likewise so is Time.

    It has been the here and now since the beginning of "time". All that has changed, is state of the matter in our observable vicinities!

    There is no grandfather clock with a massive pendulum swinging in the heavens declaring every second that has been, is now, or yet to come.

  4. Re:Assholes on Blogger Loses Unemployment Check Because of Ads · · Score: 1

    Its the american citizen that needs their asses kicked.

    Very, very, very, so very few know that the job of serving on a jury is not just to determine a person's innocence or guilt vs the law. It is also to determine the law in question. If as a jurist you feel that the law in question is being unfairly used against the defendant then not only is it your right as a jurist to submit a not-guilty verdict, it is your DUTY! There is a mass of delusion in the land of the free, and almost none of them understands that serving on a Jury is really just another voting system. You get a chance to vote against the very law itself! The founding fathers intended just this system to help keep the festering lawyers and loop hole escapes from becoming a problem. However, this system will not work if the masses at large are wholesomely ignorant like they are today!

  5. Re:I'm sure it didn't help. on Did Chicago Lose Olympic Bid Due To US Passport Control? · · Score: 1

    Once we stopped forcing citizens to use the English language it was not possible to melt. Now that everyone and their dog can sneak in without much resistance or having to learn english, they just startup little versions of their origin nation. Little Mexico's, little China's, little Vietnam's, little Japan's.

    If you can't speak their language it is IMPOSSIBLE to melt, integrate, or assimilate. You will only become more segregated, rigid, intolerant. Compound that with the fact that the US treats it citizens worst than illegals.... and well, you have what is going on now.

  6. Pointless on DHS Ponders "Improving" Terrorism Alert System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The DHS was/is not even necessary, and is just another bureaucracy clogging up things even more.

    Those who trade freedom for security get neither. The more you allow government to protect you the more power you allow them to throw you in a dungeon and throw away the key. No Trial, No Rights, No more Liberty.

    You either put the handcuffs on the government or they put them on you.

  7. Simple! Get rid of the PseudoScience! on How To Make Science Popular Again? · · Score: 1

    It's no secret that the Scientists of today are continually progressing to the way that the religious leaders of old treated the heretics of the old church. If you speak against them, then it is heresy! There is no more room for true science were actual truth is pursued, there is only room for pseudo scientists ready to accept the indoctrination and paper documents offered by said indoctrinators.

    I have personally sat in classes were my instructors offered readily disprovable scientific facts, and to tell them that they are wrong only nets you some negative attention. They expect you to accept what they say as science truth without proof, just as the religious zealots of old expected people to accept their truths without proof! We all know that they become downright unfriendly when you don't wish to accept them as truths!

    Science has long been about politics. A prime example is this one.
    Hold the position that a particular race is genetically less intelligent than other races, as a scientist, will net you a very nasty character assassination at the hands of the media.
    Hold the position that your sexual preference is a product of genetics, as a scientist, will net you a hero's welcome as a leader in genetic research at the hands of the media.

    It's simple. Public opinion is easily driven by the "Light" that the media shines on a particular subject. If the media approves of your science, be it truth or untruth, then so shall the blessings of the media rest upon your shoulders as a mantle of light. Shall the media approve it not, truth or untruth, then upon you shall rest their vile gaze or if you are lucky you will receive no attention at all.
