I would believe the tunnel remark if we had Hitler or Mussolini or even Stalin in control. Hitler loved tunnels. He simply could not tunnel enough. We still don't know the extent of Nazi tunneling and Stalin was no slouch either when it came to secret tunnels. Since they had so much slave labor at hand it is a wonder that they didn't whip up a few record height paramids while they were at it.
Right now some very indirect methods are being used to predict the stock market. There seem to be happy words and sad or moody words. By studying conversations on the net for happy word and sad word content the market can be predicted more accurately than with any other method.
As for people mouthing off about revolutions and dramatic actions during hard times they really need to moderate their words a bit before they get what they claim they want. Germany had a revolution and ended up with Hitler. Russia had a revolution and ended up with Stalin. Improvements in life tend to happen with orderly progress and orderly change. Revolutions usually simply do not work.
I'm not a racist. I don't hate people from other religions or places of origin. But I really don't like the notion of a teacher with poor skills in English including accent. If we as a culture have anything at all to be proud of it rests in the body of literature common to England and America. I can live with the fact that some defects are genetic and do not reflect upon the person. The axed instead of asked problem is one and the R sound to some Japanese is more than a challenge.
But I have seen teachers that simply were not capable of speaking on a fifth grade level who were born in America. I am convinced that we have teachers that have never actually studied a subject in their entire lives. They went to college and parroted what they were told and get credentials and the end result is awful. Now we have all kind of junk diplomas and many teachers have degrees from these nonsense establishments. We have released barbarians upon our kids.
I really don't care what subject or grade level a teacher is assigned to but being well read and well spoken are essential precursors for any teaching position. I don't care if it is a gym coach. I want a fairly deep understanding of the body of classic English literature for every employee in the schools right down to the kitchen help and custodians. Kids need good roll models.
Or you could work as a computer technician and get access to a bunch of materials that enable you to put yourself in a very lucrative position such as buying a chunk of land that is sought by a developer for a large project. It takes money to buy that little piece of raw land right in the middle of your intended mega golf course- resort.
Many crimes go unsolved and even undiscovered. As far as serious crimes are concerned the odds are with the criminal. It is repetition over time, the nature of a crime, and just dumb luck that allow criminals to continue. It is rather like a car thief. You catch him but he may have stolen hundreds of cars over many years and you have him under arrest for stealing one car. He'll get probation unless he has prior convictions.
The real penalties of being a criminal include never being able to talk to or admit to anyone anything about your way of earning your living. Keeping mobile so that you aren't drawing attention to yourself or patterns of crime in an area pointing to you. You also are very vulnerable as you can not deposit money anyplace where you might be discovered with unexplained wealth.
On top of that you need to dedicate time to maintaining a good image. Being a regular at church and other normal activities, doing and saying the right things and having a really good reputation are all tools of a professional criminal. It's a hard path to follow.
Our government really does not need to get into opposition with a pile of skilled hackers. The hackers may well win. Further the revelations released by outfits like Wikileaks seem to offer far more good than bad to the American public. Maybe we can get past the point where we have people in government who do nothing but lie and spread manure to foreign governments. Why not simply make government completely transparent. Are we to really believe that our nation can only exist if we lie, sneak about and betray? We have way too much nonsense in the name of supposed national security.
I hope the solar cells are made in the USA but at the very least a large number of people will be employed doing the installs on these bid stores. Good for Wall Mart .
Notice that people want crime stopped but will whine when they are the ones who might be caught. Think of not having to worry about your home or car being ruined, burgled, or tampered with. Think of schools being able to determine who threw the punch.
If there is a legitimate gripe it rests in the types of crimes that poor people commit falling to electronic detection while the crimes that the rich commit will usually not be detectable on film or in public areas. The rich man can still cheat on his taxes or alter his books for his business. What we may create is wealth being like a permit to commit crimes.
I admire efforts to protect the public but coal is a killer. Tidal energy is enormous. Solar is wonderful and windmills can do a whiz of a job. For those that think there is not a lot of wind get up in the air a couple of hundred feet and things seem quite different. The coastal US has wind over the oceans that never quits and tidal energy as well.
We have an outfit that is zapping our garbage mountains with great energy and converting those mountains of trash into energy in excess. Frankly we are swimming in a sea of energy if we only have the sense to harvest it.
Maybe you could create a shoe box sized demo refrigerator that had a copper plate on the back and insulation on the front and sides such that the copper plate side would be exposed to the outside air to keep food cold while allowing the interior heat not to escape due to the insulation in the front and sides of the mini fridge.
This is dangerous. They act as if government and everyone else must be like a high school cheerleader.
I do understand that the national economy and ultimately even national security are linked to the happiness of the general public. Business raises revenues and money and arms are both dependent upon people dashing about in a blissful state of ignorance.
The problem is that at the end of the road we end up dead and ignorant and that no problem ever gets dealt with. Pointing out that the US has a problem does not imply that other nations don't also have their own problems. In fact one of our greatest problems is getting peoples' eyes wide open and their minds focused. Sometimes a bit of shock and awe get people to wake up. Pointing out that I'm not seeing many solar cells or solar collectors or windmills is not an act of treason by any means. Tidal or river current power generation remains a mystery we read about in Popular Science but never see completed. So what is wrong with shouting fire when the theater is on fire and we are about due to get our fannies well roasted?
The violence can not be discounted or ignored but this man did have some very valid concerns and had a certain value to society. At the very least we can agree that he consumed very few resources in his personal life and we must admire that part of him.
This is another individual that may need confinement but should be given study tools and allowed to progress as best he can in his mental activities. He might be able to teach us all a bit and at the very least we do need to understand that people with very special abilities sometimes jump the rails and crash hard. We need not show disrespect for the man, only for his crimes.
If the site that posted the material was in the US or a person within the US made the postings what jurisdiction would a British court have? And if it can be posted by Americans just how would Great Brittan have any expectation at all that such materials could be kept from public view? If we all England to have a voice in controlling American free speech we might as well invite the Taliban to censor us as well.
Maybe they could call it population control. Storing a hazardous waste product in an areas proven to be vulnerable to tidal waves and severe earthquakes sounds like one way to kill of millions of citizens of their nation. If this were any more twisted I would think the Tea Party has a branch in Japan.
Ancient structures have been detected from space for at least thirty years. Techniques may improve but this has been going on for quite some time. There is nothing new about it.
I reject the statement about the bike shop. Usually when you buy a business it is understood that you are buying the reputation of that business or "good name" as it is called. After all, when you sit down for your bowl of slop you don't usually know who owns the joint. If a business does you wrong than that is it for you. You should be free to praise or degrade a business as you see fit. The one right that we were never assigned in the Constitution is the right to earn a living or the right to do business or even protection from unreasonable customers.
Really this is very similar to what we see on the net. Some sort of cancer exists which causes people to suddenly act as if the net is all about business and making a living. What a bold assumption that is. In the music business we see the middlemen yelping that they have the right to make a living. The content creators can go eat bugs but the middlemen must be rich. In printed literature we see the same nonsense. A public library can lend out a book but an electronic library works too well and therefore the middlemen want to crush electronic libraries. Music is not about money nor is literature nor is the net. Frankly businesses tend to be inherently evil. They always want to control, to spread and to garner that which is not theirs to own.
Usually a contract has to provide a value for all parties to the contract. A contract that only protects one party with no benefit for the other party is probably weak in a trial situation at best.
We used to buy new motorcycles that had no speedo or odometer at all. We got by ok. But these days there are too many accidents and we need to be able to clearly assign blame.
Many people making false insurance claims may end up in jail or with expensive, failed civil suits if the black boxes make the right measurements. For example when two cars are backing out of a parking space and collide was one standing still and how fast was the guilty party really backing up.
Infinite being what it is one could never hope to complete even making discrete channels for colors as one would be creating each thread infinitely. Then there is the problem of little Johny digs into the cable. Who is going to be able to line up all of those color bands. Infinite speeds are for THE BIG GUY and not for mortals.
Under what great mystical process can any government claim that an adulterer can not be publicly pointed to as an adulterer? Freedom involves a willingness to allow exposure of the worst parts of all of us. The basic notion of promoting the best of us while limiting the success of the worst of us needs to run its natural course. In the old days a man could challenge another man and the rightness was established by the strongest in lethal combat. The realization that great people and strong muscles do not mean superiority changed that. It was replaced by the notion that passing certain tests and standards determined the most worthy of us. One such test involves honesty and another loyalty. In 1890 an adulterer would have huge struggle finding work. After all if he will cheat and lie to his own wife what will he do to others with whom he has even weaker bonds than marriage?
I'll be bent over laughing at a man or a congregation that can't read their own Bibles enough to know that the Lord has promised to come as a thief in the night with no man knowing the time of His coming.
We need a special congregation for these types of Christians. We could name them the Duh? Christians.

There's a concept! Search people just because they just might be guilty of something. No concept of probable cause need exist these days.
