"Coal companies are the ones that want to stop new electricity research. They are the big multinational cartel polycorps behind that. They assassinate people and stuff. Oil companies are the ones who stop new car research. Get it right, you look dumb when you mix up their respective motivations. Coal companies, electricity. Oil companies, cars."
Now, I didn't say this was a conspiracy theory. It is historic fact. You can easily check the records.
It is public, and not a conspiracy.
You just proved my point, it is simply about greed. Has nothing to do with science or research.
I certainly acknowledge there are many players in the energy industry and that quite a few operate on the same motive operandi.
But this isn't a conspiracy theory, it is a fact.
Furthermore there is nothing secret about the whole Cold Fusion debate, or what happened.
You can check the records yourself which is why I am not linking anything.
Such claims are not unrealistic. Consider what they did to the original researchers. Way beyond what was required to disprove a theory. They had to utterly destroy two fine individuals, not just their theory. This was a coordinated response from the entire scientific community.
It isn't too hard to see how irrational the response was to the initial claims of Cold Fusion. Instead of firing the imagination, it got the attention of bean counters at M.I.T. who saw such a direction destroying billions of potential dollars in Hot Fusion tech research. M.I.T. lead the way to insure these sceintists would never have any theory ever published again, and anyone who would dare challenge HOT fusion would be destroyed, not just disproven.
I believe, Cold Fusion exists from looking at the research, which refuses to die. But there are very powerful ineterests in OIL and ridiculous HOT fusion approach which is nothing but a black sink hole of money, which hasn't produced any results in over 50 years.
Ultimately we are going to pay a price for our Greed. Which you can see from research to banking to food and how obese people are.

Ok, well....I am going to speak whats on my mind here, because I can't say it to some peoples faces.
Being the manipulative and deceptive bastard that I am.;-)
1) Coding for everyone, perhaps he means php? Ok, when LAMP comes to my, I think of shooting people.;-)
It isn't that php is the worst of all time languages, with its messy all over the place bloat code. I mean, Java was bloaty, but I love Java because all of the conventions for declarative syntax, which exhibit and enforce decades old engineering approaches that make good software.
It is easy to debug, has facilities for objects etc....but can still use functional methods of programming.
Php? Absolute nightmare to debug, on any platform. Declarative syntax style is, _anything_ and _everywhere_ is just O.K. It is so super easy to do declarative logic because _everyone_ can code. Nope. The only thing I see php good for is building content managers, does an OK job.
2) Don't get me wrong, I think php is great for little projects, as it allows you to do some things up front you couldn't do otherwise fast and simply.
But it _never_ stops there. All of a sudden you got php all over the place with people thinking it is some sort of language they can build reliable applications with it.
Php creates a huge and disastrous hardware requirement as a general purpose application platform. I have seen small changes literally, just blow up websites overnight not because the code is right or wrong, its just because php has really nasty memory requirements for executing stuff you can declare anytime. A website that could support 1,000 people literally can support like 50.
Who knows, depends on the php implementation on the given platform.
3) PhP is like all over on the UW-Madison campus, and everywhere I go it is nothing but a giant mess. People complain all the time about bugs, or classes that bring the whole website down because 30 people executed a php script all at the same time.
Invariably it is because amateurs are coding stuff, that don't want to learn threading, don't know how to think or use any kind of parallel assisted language like Java, because it takes too long and it is too hard or worse, they only want to pay $10 bucks an hour.
So I am not for everyone coding.
I am going to shutup now, before I get the urge to talk about Javascript and its crap.;-)
"Lets be honest folks we ALL know what is causing this, hell its the same thing that is causing the drop in GPL code we saw posted here a little while back, and that is this: RMS went too damned far with GPL V3 and this is the backlash."
Complete nonsense. Furthermore, the whole idea about open source is to control the destiny of your investment, customer base while at the same time allowing customers to partcipate as engineers, not just as end users in what amounts to a community which has the final say as to what changes are made to the software it uses, and even if the software will continue to be used for a given purpose.
That result is open source. Open API's are not open source. No, if I have an open API it is not going to allow my customers to participate as engineers, it will not allow the community to control the destiny of the softwar either.
Those API's could be removed tomorrow, you can't improve them, the bugs are intractable or ignored by the corporate Big Brother who is monitoring everything you are doing with those API's.
Are you people just plain stupid or have you had your heads in the sand since 1992?
How can someone post something like this and get a Score 5 as insightful?
Go ahead and embrace your open API's.
You probably enjoy TSA sticking their hands down your kids pants, why wouldn't you enjoy having someone monitor every API call your software does.
F'in diots I hope you get the world you deserve.
You don't deserve Stallman's vision or any sort of Freedom!
Lots of things about the habitable zone environment you are leaving out.
1) Is there a moon to stabilize the axis of the planet? This is turning out to be a very critical requirement the more it is studied. 2) Is the Planet tidally locked to its star? See number 1, which if it doesn't have a moon probably is which would dramatically reduce the chances of complex life developing. 3) Does the habitable zone have a gravitational well to reduce the number of impacts planets orbiting in the habitable zone suffer? Also very very important for complex life to evolve. In our case we have Jupiter outside the habitable zone protecting Mars and Earth from large numbers of impacts. It sucks in or ejects objects out of the way of the Earth and Mars. Also stabilizes the solar system from outside invaders. 4) Does the Star have the right metal content? Also very important. It turns out stars like our sun with a large metal content have very long lives and very stable output. Can't be a variable star, and it has to shine steady for a _very_ long time so it can't be very big either. Very important for complex life to evolve.
I think the best book written on the subject is Peter Ward's "Rare Earth".
Next is to toss out the current screwy science of reality that says we can't get there and start looking at science repressed ideas to design an engine that is practical to get there.
Might have to kill off a _lot_ of existing PhD's though.
Small price to pay to make rockets obsolete though.

Yes, they will come.

You don't need to charge people taxes to plant trees. You need to look at the processes that are cutting the trees down and businesses need to incorporate that into their cost of product.
You don't want government involved in any part of the environment because as you say, they won't do it. (Plant Trees).
When are these people going to figure it out that nobody is going to believe this man made warming crap can be fixed, if we just make Al Gore and his friends trillionaires by paying carbon taxes? You can't do anything about climate change by paying carbon taxes.
The research is crap, and is some of the worst science I have ever read. I keep waiting for a decent paper on the topic and all of them are crap. Half of them are funded by research foundations which have obvious one world goverment overtones or pure pandering to the NSF to keep that grant money flowing.
The whole man made climate change research establishment keeps getting whacked in the head more and more data every year that climate change is from either newly local solar system condition discoveries or just plain advances in particle theory, way to go CERN!!!
When are these people going to produce a decent piece of research which doesn,t embarrass themselves in front of people who are not business majoors looking to invest in carbon credit scams?
Debt isn't required for a sovereign nations currency as a basis for its issue.
It is clear I think from most informed people reading this what the real reason is for a private central bank, to insist on usury.
You see, aristocracy has always been a tick feeding on the nations that are unfortunately ruled by it.
If you care to study your history of US Presidents, every president that has been assassinated, has introduced currency notes that are based on a nations sovereign right to issue its own currency without usury.
You haven't seen anything yet. These criminals which run everything now, are not happy with just owning everything thing, they want control. To do this, they will collapse the economy and then call for even _MORE_ centralized control.
When I say criminals I mean:
Lloyd Blankfein Larry Summers Ben Bernanke The Federal Reserve Board (I would list the owners, but the list is _CLASSIFIED_ by the US Military and State Department....and the Federal Reserve isn't even a government institution!)
They create the crisis, then they propose the solution. When this collapse happens, decentralization will be the only way out.
We must reverse all forms of Globalism and excessive centralization of power, otherwise things will get much much worse.
Finally we see the Catholic Church's real face, as they call for a One World Bank, where only one financial entity controls all the rules of commerce, all buying and selling and trade world wide. Right out of the book of the Apocalypse, Jesus Christ.
If these Federal Reserve/Wall Street who are planning this, successfully reform a new even more centralized financial system, humanity will be plunged into a new dark age.
With a single formed entity that all nations pay to in the world, they will be all but unstoppable. They will have the ability to raise their own private Army, and every nation on the earth will be shackled under a tyranny that has never before been seen.
This level of centralization of power will breed forms of corruption the world must never see or humanity won't survive.
more like cut back certain types of military activity.
There is no way the troops are leaving though, I can assure you that is not going to happen any time soon.
If anything the major news networks will be instructed to carry less news about the military activities in Iraq, there by making it seem like nothing much is happening over there.
My largest concern, is something I couldn't see now, way back when we initially started getting into the Middle east. But now, if you look at the agenda, and who has gained over the past 15 years of war, it is clear why will _never_ leave.
Iraq is now the base of operations in the middle east for control.
Libya will now be AFRICOM head quarters where the US can launch strikes deep into Africa, because that is what they are going to do next.
It is clear whoever is behind this military action wants, basically 3 things in Africa:
Does jack squat any more. I watch as these Occupy people sit around and sing songs, people up at the capital sing slogans, and they expect things are going to change.
Not gonna happen. If you had the ability to print an infinite amount of money and give it to your friends and yourself, would you give up that sort of power and influence?
You certainly would! Right before you nuke every major city on the globe!
So this whole crapola thing with the TSA isn't going to go away without a real nasty revolution.
No way are the people who have that power going to step aside. They will put a terrorist boogey man in every place they can. If they can't they will nuke a city, and tell you if you don't give us complete control, another "terrorist" will nuke another city.
This is way out of control of the voting booth now.
I would seriously consider having a plan in place to leave the country sooner than later.
Because, if history is any guide, the next thing TSA will be doing is preventing any people from leaving the country, while of course if you are illegal, fine no problem.
There is a definite agenda here, and it is has nothing to do with terrorists that much is for sure.
I can tell you why it is important to have human access to space.
Lets start by looking around at how everything is so f*cked up.
You know, a long time ago, you use to be able to flee to foreign lands, or undiscovered countries to get rid of the socia/pschyo inbred leaders that enjoy watching people starve, live in misery or otherwise think because what comes out of their dick makes them royal.
We seem to have come to a impasse now. You can't run anywhere. Tyranny is _EVERYWHERE_. From the nut cases in China who find it is perfectly legit to corral people into pens and work them to death or a democrat, republican, tea party psychopath/socio paths who scramble at the drop of a bankers phone call for more bail out money 10 generations from now will be still paying.
With access to space I can leave. Or, better yet, with access to space we can tell these people TO LEAVE.
That is of itself would be incredibly useful, and worth it to expand humans into space.
Steve was an important figure, and a leader like that will never come again for a real long time in the computing marketplace. He had his hands into all sorts of areas. He was also one of the few CEO's that were actually skilled. Most American CEO's are crap or common whores that would straddle any company for a paycheck. Steve never did anything except computers.
Still, I am not pleased with the sort of computing Apple is handing out. It is bad enough banks have such far reaching controls over our governments, it is worse when computer companies sell you things you can't own. Which, is exactly what Apple does. You do not own the products Apple sells, and you are not permitted to know anything about them. At most you can use them as they see fit. If they do not like how you are using their products they can throw you in jail, have the police arrest or threaten/bully you.
I prefer to understand everything about a product I buy, including how it processes my data, how it is stored and I want to see the source code so I can improve it myself. This is so very important in an age with, for example Android tablets/Phones. I demand software updates for stuff I buy, and _NO_ I am not buying another phone just to get Ice Cream Sandwich, or even another tablet.
I don't have cash to buy new hardware just to get legit software OS updates every 5 months by plunking down a couple thou on new phones and tablets with the new Android OS in them.
I demand I can jail break and update the software myself if the manufacturer decides that 4 months is just way to old for a product and they have to make you buy another one.
That is BS. As is I still haven't got 3.2 of Android for my Toshiba Thrive tablet which is really starting to p*ss me off. So looks like I will have to jail break it and install it myself because I am not buying another 600 dollar tablet for a way long time Toshiba.
All in all Job's was a visionary. But the products he made have heavy duty 1984 Orwell overtones to them and that is why I don't buy iCrap.
When I give a company money for a product or a service I expect it to be mine. If not I won't buy it.
Jobs was a genius, but he was also a tad bit too greedy with his licensing for my my tastes.
I have used DD-WRT, but from what I can tell, the firmware is built from Open-WRT. The problem I had with DD-WRT is that it is mostly proprietary. Also, the build trees they use from OpenWRT were usually bad so you had crappy wireless drivers most of the time for lots of different chipsets. Perhaps with the exception of the truly ancient BCM chipsets in their WRT54GL implementations of DD-WRT. Those ran pretty well.
But, if you truly want a decent piece of software for doing wireless, I would suggest you check out OpenWRT. Secondly, get a AR7161/AR9283 based wireless hardware model. I would suggest the Buffalo wireless units. They work pretty well. These devices made by Atheros are all very open source friendly so you get a piece of hardware the developers don't have to fight with the manufacturer about intellectual property crapola. (Which, in my view is what intellectual property is nothing but people who want to own everything and have other sociaopathic and psychopathic tendencies.)
The OpenWRT build system is pretty good too. You can concentrate on the software instead of fighting the build system.
But I stopped using DD-WRT a long time ago. It just isn't a good solution for wireless N and the authors do not appear to be very Linuxl aware. (Although, they are very good at writing javascript to create a nice interface in the browser and just copying whatever build tree from OpenWRT that is the flavor of the day.)

Such claims are not unrealistic. Consider what they did to the original researchers. Way beyond what was required to disprove a theory. They had to utterly destroy two fine individuals, not just their theory. This was a coordinated response from the entire scientific community.

So this whole crapola thing with the TSA isn't going to go away without a real nasty revolution.
No way are the people who have that power going to step aside. They will put a terrorist boogey man in every place they can. If they can't they will nuke a city, and tell you if you don't give us complete control, another "terrorist" will nuke another city.
This is way out of control of the voting booth now.
I would seriously consider having a plan in place to leave the country sooner than later.
Because, if history is any guide, the next thing TSA will be doing is preventing any people from leaving the country, while of course if you are illegal, fine no problem.
There is a definite agenda here, and it is has nothing to do with terrorists that much is for sure.

I can tell you why it is important to have human access to space.
Lets start by looking around at how everything is so f*cked up.
You know, a long time ago, you use to be able to flee to foreign lands, or undiscovered countries to get rid of the socia/pschyo inbred leaders that enjoy watching people starve, live in misery or otherwise think because what comes out of their dick makes them royal.
We seem to have come to a impasse now. You can't run anywhere. Tyranny is _EVERYWHERE_. From the nut cases in China who find it is perfectly legit to corral people into pens and work them to death or a democrat, republican, tea party psychopath/socio paths who scramble at the drop of a bankers phone call for more bail out money 10 generations from now will be still paying.
With access to space I can leave. Or, better yet, with access to space we can tell these people TO LEAVE.
That is of itself would be incredibly useful, and worth it to expand humans into space.

I agree.
Steve was an important figure, and a leader like that will never come again for a real long time in the computing marketplace. He had his hands into all sorts of areas. He was also one of the few CEO's that were actually skilled. Most American CEO's are crap or common whores that would straddle any company for a paycheck. Steve never did anything except computers.
Still, I am not pleased with the sort of computing Apple is handing out. It is bad enough banks have such far reaching controls over our governments, it is worse when computer companies sell you things you can't own. Which, is exactly what Apple does. You do not own the products Apple sells, and you are not permitted to know anything about them. At most you can use them as they see fit. If they do not like how you are using their products they can throw you in jail, have the police arrest or threaten/bully you.
I prefer to understand everything about a product I buy, including how it processes my data, how it is stored and I want to see the source code so I can improve it myself. This is so very important in an age with, for example Android tablets/Phones. I demand software updates for stuff I buy, and _NO_ I am not buying another phone just to get Ice Cream Sandwich, or even another tablet.
I don't have cash to buy new hardware just to get legit software OS updates every 5 months by plunking down a couple thou on new phones and tablets with the new Android OS in them.
I demand I can jail break and update the software myself if the manufacturer decides that 4 months is just way to old for a product and they have to make you buy another one.
That is BS. As is I still haven't got 3.2 of Android for my Toshiba Thrive tablet which is really starting to p*ss me off. So looks like I will have to jail break it and install it myself because I am not buying another 600 dollar tablet for a way long time Toshiba.
All in all Job's was a visionary. But the products he made have heavy duty 1984 Orwell overtones to them and that is why I don't buy iCrap.
When I give a company money for a product or a service I expect it to be mine. If not I won't buy it.
Jobs was a genius, but he was also a tad bit too greedy with his licensing for my my tastes.

I have used DD-WRT, but from what I can tell, the firmware is built from Open-WRT. The problem I had with DD-WRT is that it is mostly proprietary. Also, the build trees they use from OpenWRT were usually bad so you had crappy wireless drivers most of the time for lots of different chipsets. Perhaps with the exception of the truly ancient BCM chipsets in their WRT54GL implementations of DD-WRT. Those ran pretty well.
But, if you truly want a decent piece of software for doing wireless, I would suggest you check out OpenWRT. Secondly, get a AR7161/AR9283 based wireless hardware model. I would suggest the Buffalo wireless units. They work pretty well. These devices made by Atheros are all very open source friendly so you get a piece of hardware the developers don't have to fight with the manufacturer about intellectual property crapola.
(Which, in my view is what intellectual property is nothing but people who want to own everything and have other sociaopathic and psychopathic tendencies.)
The OpenWRT build system is pretty good too. You can concentrate on the software instead of fighting the build system.
But I stopped using DD-WRT a long time ago. It just isn't a good solution for wireless N and the authors do not appear to be very Linuxl aware. (Although, they are very good at writing javascript to create a nice interface in the browser and just copying whatever build tree from OpenWRT that is the flavor of the day.)

However, when watching old Trek Reruns on You Tube, I lose all sense of pride and down a bag of the damn things.
Most unfortunate.
I also get the Doritos Angst sometimes while coding or looking at SVN bug report filings.
Good Heavens!
God help me.

PS: On top of that, every Doritos bag is 100% GMO corn too, so I realy hate myself afterwards eating that crap.
Girls?
Is that a git branch of the kernel? What is that?

I wonder how many he purchased or shorted?
You know, it is a fact. The more carbon credits you purchased the better off the global climate will be.
Yep. There it is.
