  1. My 2 cents on Google Formally Puts Palestine On Virtual Map · · Score: 0

    The people who are affectionately referred to as Palestinians came very close to having peace - "due to insistence for compromise by President Clinton, Barak offered Arafat a Palestinian state in 73% of the West Bank and all of the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian percentage of sovereignty would extend to 90% over a ten- to twenty-five-year period. Also included in the offer was the return of a small number of refugees and compensation for those not allowed to return. Palestinians would also have 'custodianship' over the Temple Mount, sovereignty on all Islamic and Christian holy sites, and 3/4 of Jerusalem's Old Quarters."

    Arafat rejected Barak's offer, and he died a rich man while his followers wallowed in misery.

    It was so close. But the reality is there is no way in hell the Muslims will ever agree to non Muslims existing anywhere they control unless the Jews and the Christians pay a hefty tax and submit to Sharia Law. Read the Qur'an.
    Qur'an (4:89) - "They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper."

    In the west the saying goes 'follow the money.' In the Islamic world you 'follow Mohammad', and he was a psychopath. I would like to think there was the possibility that Muslims could moderate, but if what you really believe is that anyone who doesn't submit to your laws should be killed then there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

    Christianity, you can leave Christianity and the penalty isn't squat. Christians don't hunt you down and kill you if you stop going to church, they just stop saying hi at Walmart.

    There is this internet rumor that the NRA is some product of firearm manufacturers, this couldn't be further from the truth.

  9. Re:Wonder how Win 9 may surprise us? on Windows 7 Still Being Sold On Up To 93% of British PCs · · Score: 1

    Just my two cents. Windows 95 had dial-up adapter and pretty much brought the internet to the unwashed masses. If you ever fought CSLIP on Windows 3.11 you'll understand just how big W95 dial-up adapter was. Windows was like a cool little cabin designed without bars on the windows or and security so the dial-up adapter also enabled a new world of virus and malware - with the good so comes the bad. But remember not everyone had the money for a mac. PnP & native drivers, such as the 3Com E3 10 Mb NIC, also made MS-W95 a very big winner. Anyhow, I just beleive it's a little simplistic to call W95 or W98 crap OSs.

  11. 8 track on the dashboard on Iran Unveils Its Own Stealth Fighter Jet, the Qaher F-313 · · Score: 1

    Great picture. I use duct tape on almost everything and there is a lot of duct tape involved in the construction of the cabin seal. But we should celebrate the incorporation of the 8 track from a 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis in the fabrication of this cutting edge 4th generation fighter. We laugh at the persistent use of 8 track players in Iranian fighter aircraft but they have been shown to withstand EMP whereas the fancy shmancy infotainment consoles found in such American warbirds as the F22 Raptor fail. Rock on Iran.

    Just so you know, I work in the industry and there is a glut of gas and oil. Like, lots and lot and lots of oil. So take your tinfoil hat off, Iraq wasn't about oil and neither is Iran.

    Why would Iran do anything to alter the present situation? Sure, those whacky spy kids and their cracker-jack programmers might have delayed the rollout date a couple of years but in other parts of the world there is this concept known as patience and all the Persians need is time. Anyhow, they couldn't have done anything to shitcan the US economy any more effectively than seeing Obama reelected.

  18. Helium-3 on China's Nuclear Rover Will Sample the Moon · · Score: 1

    This may be why the communists are making the trip - 'Between 1969 and 1972, Apollo astronauts brought just under 842 pounds of rocks and regolith back from the Moon. In 1985, engineers at the University of Wisconsin discovered significant amounts of Helium-3 in the lunar soil. Helium-3 is a stable isotope of helium — the gas we use to fill party balloons with — and is notable because it’s missing a neutron, an important property that means we can used it in nuclear fusion reactions to produce clean energy. Unfortunately, our most plentiful stores of the isotope are a quarter of a million miles away.' http://news.discovery.com/space/space-energy-mining-the-moon-120907.htm

    Do the Koch brothers support groups they agree with? Sure. Now ask yourself what it is they find important enough to support. Freedom. As for the hoax that the Tea Party isn't organic you need to take your own advice and do some research. Perhaps you have what is warmly regarded in this nation as the Tea Party with the treasonous guttersnipes known as Occupy which were most certainly a bought and paid for creation of the left. Because Occupy was fake it has disappeared, whereas the Tea Party is just catching its breath for round two.

    Given my knowledge of the industry I hadn't bothered to 'google' how may drilling sites had been 'closed' due to proven groundwater contamination because I already knew the answer - but I took your advice and I must admit it was nice to be able to use Google to affirm I was correct. Perhaps you have an alternate source of information available to support your claims, like your imagination? Perhaps you recently enjoyed a fictional work seen at the movie theater?

  22. Re:This is NOT Fracking... on Geothermal Power Advances · · Score: 2

    With all due respect you are wrong. The argument against fracking has nothing to do with the potential contamination of ground water - it is simply the latest crusade of the environmental terror industry in their endless campaign to raise money. Normally you have a problem and then people come together to work towards a solution to deal with the problem, such as the Tea Party organically coming into existence as a result of the over-reach of government. There is no epidemic of ground water contamination due to 'fracking', there is an epidemic of scaremongering on the part of fund raising environmental groups. Mark my words, if geothermal begins to look like a fat money basket by these same groups that target 'fracking' for fund raising you will soon see a tidal wave of scary literature condemning the threat of big geotherm.

    Maybe you already know this but many important people in science and math are and were Christians.
