They all still believe the law of thermodynamics are absolute and unbreakable. And nobody's trying to see past Einstein's theories. This is typical human arrogance that reflects 19th Century Victorian beliefs. But, I've already been through this. Everybody thinks there's this brick wall we'll never pass. If that's the case, why bother with science if we've already learned everything there is to learn.
Anybody actually think that would stop the bombs and bullets? Please! It would only suffer the same fate as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Vietnam, Philippines, etc etc etc.
Using legislation bought and paid for by the MAFIAA (Music and Film Industries Association of America... Seeing as you like to keep repeating that). See, the real problem is not the government per se, but that we allow the it to become so corrupted, thinking there's something in it for us. Just looking for a fast buck
Don't give them any ideas.. It's because things aren't deleted that Slashdot has any value. How many other places can you so easily look 13 years into the past... and see people argue about the same things over and over again? You know there was a time when the journals had no spam?
Maybe the mistake is trying to separate the universe from its component parts, because I am talking about the universe as a whole. Everything works together. There really is only one system. To exclude certain parts just because we don't understand them or don't fit our pet theories will lead to erroneous conclusions. It's like the cops failing to follow a lead only because they want to believe they already got their man. The wrong guy gets convicted. The universe, with all its parts is the perpetual motion machine. There's always something, even if it's just a singularity.
"religion" is really just another business. Consumerism, a result of industrialization, is a slightly more secular version of religion. But all economics is faith based, worshiping a different god. We all seem able to live with it as long it's not our fingernails being pulled off.
People used to believe the earth was flat, and that everything revolved around it. Nobody believed a tiny little germ cell could kill a man. And of course we'll never fly, much less faster than sound. We view the universe and all events through the tiniest of pinholes.
Before anyone chimes in complaining that Slashdot doesn't even support an old version of Unicode...
Oops.. But I kinda wish the <i> tag still worked
Slashdot seems to believe so, seeing that we can't type accents and whatnot without jumping through a few hoops
Google and Youtube are being good citizens
But I'm gonna kick back and fire up a fatty
69 dude!
...corporations will inevitably pursue automation.
More likely they will promote cannibalism.
But anyway, for your reading pleasure

...who hands out prizes for stuff like this...?
The Nobel Committee?
Heh, really... Peace sucks! heh, heh Bombs are cool.. heh, heh
They are a type of fruit.
We find that very offensive

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Gingrich Family.
Just shuffle off...
to Buffalo?
...despicable Republican...
...it was done by the Federal Government.

Start at the beginning...
First, the earth cooled.. Then the dinosaurs came...
You need to show him how destructive copyright is... that enforced exclusivity is bad m'kay? Read him some of Jefferson's thoughts on the matter.

That's why you should vote for Newt... to finish the job.

There is no 'external'. Maybe mass and energy aren't as distinct as they seem to be.
I don't trust private owners, and I don't trust the government. I'm undecided which one I trust least.
Don't sweat it. They're the same thing. Two sides of one coin. The lack of one precludes the existence of the other.
All that assumes that we've seen it all, and there's nothing else to learn.
