  1. Re:blah on Churchill Accused of Sealing UFO Files, Fearing Public Panic · · Score: 1

    Just to be clear we are talking about WWII Era England. I do believe in the US most people who are spiritual would not find this to be an conflict of beliefs. Also, keep in mind many spiritual people are not members of the Westboro Baptist Church as much as anyone who believes in science is not a Scientologist.

    A lot of us don't find science and spiritualism any where more mutually exclusive than food and sex. Keep in mind that many people who are spiritual/religious are not hardline Christians (or even Christians).

  2. Re:I'll probably be dead by then, right? on 1-in-1,000 Chance of Asteroid Impact In ... 2182? · · Score: 1

    I don't think we'd need a full repeat of events and sluggish development of technology. Someone will stuble across a virtual treasure trove (or be lead to it by a hairy guy in the desert) of stored information and we'll get a quick boost of progress. There would be a new Renaissance, where great minds discover our works and add their own ingenuity and design to them, taking the bits and pieces they find and innovating them in ways that we cannot even imagine yet. When we came out of the first Dark Age this is what happend with the Latin, Greek, and Arabic works. I think somethign simular would happen, with the new leaders of the Renaissance finding simple solutions to problems that plague us even today.

    Yeah, I'm not such a bad pilot myself. Look, we don't have to sit here and listen to this.

  7. Re:EVE Online on BioWare's Star Wars MMO To Have Space Combat · · Score: 1

    EVE space combat SUCKS... it's click a few buttons and the the ship shoots, so boring. I am hoping it is much more like XvT or SWG where you actually pilot the ships. Space combat in SWG was one of the very few great things about the game.

    Maybe it's just following in the NASA tradition.

  10. Catholic attack fail on US Senate Passes 'Libel Tourism' Bill · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As far as Catholics, they have and still do require at least 16 y/o for males, 14 y/o for females. Which is more stringent requirements than the laws of some existing states. Really in most societies couples got married a lot earlier than people do now adays.

  11. Re:Bottom 5% with Cable and Airlines on Facebook User Satisfaction Is 'Abysmal' · · Score: 1

    So, when did it become wrong to have the insight to not use a service with terrible satisfaction levels? I don't think in this day and age when people are having so many issues with the service it is excessive to be satisfied with that fact. I brought it up as an on topic discussion about using facebook. So don't even compare it to TV. People don't really talk about not using TV besides you and the guy from The Onion. So yeah, you are still that guy that goes out of his way to mention he does not watch TV, this time by high-jacking someone's post about facebook.

  13. I Experimented with Binaural Beats on Sound As the New Illegal Narcotic? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I used to use this quite a bit and create my own experiences. What is does is force your brain waves into different states of consciousness (usually theta, associated with sleep). It takes a while to learn and get your brain used to making changes while conscious. After a while though it is possible to do without the listening to the "beats".

    It's not really music, but it’s like these two tones, one in each ear that produces the beat, which only exists in your head. So you sit there and listen to two tones, then you start to hear a beat, but is more sounds like ocean waves. Then it becomes almost like you feel like dreaming and if you close your eyes you might start to.

    With enough training one can begin to lucid dream and it's hard to explain but in some of the sessions I experienced what could only be explained as a non-sexual full body orgasm of pure bliss. It also reduces the amount of sleep one would require in order to feel properly rested. It is really good stuff and even better when you learn to shift your brain waves without the beats while conscious.

  17. Naga greater than WarMouse on The "King of All Computer Mice" Finally Ships · · Score: 1

    The Razer Naga in my opinion is a lot more ideal for gaming. Coming in at 17 buttons, only one short of the Warmouse its very comparable. But what the Naga does better is the button placement, with the majority of them on the side to hit with your thumb. The shape and button placement are going to allow better grip and control when the shit starts to fly. The warmouse looks ackward to hold and the button placement on the top just looks like a disorginized clusterfuck compared to the sleek Naga.

    First off, don't answer any questions, not even when the police show up. Their only job is to build a case against you. Then get a lawyer, and hope you get a light sentace for statitory rape. Also, don't forget you will now be registered as a sex offender.

    Secondly, Diddy Kong Racing was trash for a racing game, no wonder she is crying. And N64 is 2 generations ago. Give her your DS with Mario Kart and Nintendogs. That should make her happy, maybe she will drop charges.
