    Not only are you not very nice but you're wrong. Terminal services are not the best thing out there it is a remote network hack on top of a multi user hack on top of a crapy os.

  6. Re:Extreme fundamentalists are ridiculous. on Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films · · Score: 1

    Apparently you didn't read my post. Liberal activity and the current liberal ideals are completely different. I coined the term liberal fundamentalist as using the term liberal to mean many changes and fundamentalist as the religious extremist. Liberal meaning large body with lots of quick changes and conservative being small body with few slow and small changes over time; Knee jerk reaction versus planned and thought out. Current political situations in the US have put Liberal ideals as Socialist ideals and Conservative ideals as Capitalistic ideals. Only because we are suppose to be a Capitalism and socialism would require lots of change.

    Most everything you point out is a liberal plan that the current administration is embracing:

    They believe in fiscal irresponsibility.
    You mean they spend liberally rather than conservatively?

    They believe in trampling civil liberties.
    Liberal amounts of big government in place rather than a conservative amount of small?

    They believe that the President is above the law and the Constitution.
    Liberal amounts of power to the president rather than conserving his power?

    They believe in forcing costs onto consumers when it increases corporate profits.
    This is just ridicules non-sense and neither liberal or conservative because you can't force anything onto consumers. By capitalistic definition consumers are they by choice. Other than food and shelter none is part of that choice.

    If the chances of a life supporting universe are slim, what are the chances of a magical consciousness with omnipotent powers of control and influence supporting universe?

    No matter how far out on a limb you have to go to understand the evidence of the theory of evolution. It is still on a very strong portion of the limb compared to that of the raw leap of faith in absolutely no evidence supporting creationist stories.

  10. Re:Extreme fundamentalists are ridiculous. on Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films · · Score: 1

    As a real conservative I like to refer to the current Republican party as liberal fundamentalists. They only call them selves conservatives. As much of an oxymoron as that may be, think of the most basic definitions of conservative and liberal being small and slow changing vs large and quick changing respectively. There is little to no true conservatives left in the US.

    The weight isn't that much when designed right you can cut down a lot of transmission weight. You no longer need a starter or alternator, and you get rid of the regular car battery. All things considered the Civic is only about 50lbs heavier than the equivalent non hybrid model.

    They need to market Hybrid cars as an added HP bonus, like a turbo or blower, first and as an economy item second.

    If car GM put out a ne Corvett with a big 300+HP engine and a 50+HP hybrid electric assist, I think it would show that hybrid tech isn't just some putty little economy item. It'll be later that people notice that the Corvett now gets 25-30MPG rather than 15-20.

    According to wikipedia I think "begging the question" fits well. Look at how this points out a failed cicular argument shown as:

    A standard is something most eveybody uses.
    Most everybody uses Microsoft.
    Microsoft is the standard.

    The gp post is trying to say there is a diffrent standard. So this "beggs the question" what is a standard, or is the first statement of the argument really true.

    From the link:
    * p implies p
    * suppose p
    * therefore, p.
