    Even if true, you're pushing the idea that life has no true purpose and random death means progress.

    You say that like it's a bad thing

    Yes, we are quantum beings.

    Funny, I never felt compelled to believe them. Let them say what they want. Just take extra cash and some bug spray.

    In fact I'm lying right now. That's how bad it is out there.

    The Italians are still pissed off about that earthquake thing.

  6. Re:Tailgaters cause rear end crashes on Study: Red Light Cameras Don't Improve Safety · · Score: 1

    I drive enough to know that keeping proper distance has always kept me out of trouble. If you rear end somebody, you were too close. It's a simple rule of physics that cannot be argued logically and sensibly.(I can cut you a small bit of slack for an unforeseen spot of oil on the road). Tailgating is simply a mild form of road rage and 'me first', and those trying to rationalize it should lose their license. I even leave space at the light. The motorcyclists and pedestrians especially appreciate that simple courtesy. And I watch the road in front of me, not the rear view mirror, it's a bigger distraction than the radio.

    The camera did not cause your accident, the person behind you did. She was going too fast, too close. The camera and the traffic in front of her caused nothing. If you pay attention and keep your distance you won't hit anything.

    EPROM! Otherwise the story makes no sense... If you can write to ROM (more than once), clearly it's not ROM.

  8. public comment period, What is it good for? on Comcast-TWC Merger Review On Hold · · Score: 1

    Absolutely nothing! It is strictly a formality. A useless ceremonial process to pacify the public into thinking the government responds to them and not the lobbyists who put the money in their pockets.

    Simply put these companies should lose access to these public goods.

    Not gonna happen while people continue to reward them by putting their puppets in office. Pavlov and Skinner proved how things work many years ago.

    Where did I say anything contrary to that? The president has to sign shit to make it look legit. The show must go on. You are only repeating the same stuff I've been saying for 40 years. Obviously I'm just farting into the wind, because people just keep voting for the same crooks anyway. I'm past caring, but I still fart a lot.

    We need magic bunker buster packets to blast through their firewalls. Well, at least I can think of one good use for viruses and worms now. Instead of DDOS we should create a DGOS (Dynamic Guarantee Of Service), something impossible to block. Gonna require wireless though, not much you can do when they decide to drop anchor.

    The currency of note is the petrodollar. Even the US dollar is floated against it, since 1971. Political nation-states don't really exist in this scenario.

    We all start small. All the machinery will grow 'naturally'. Let the evolution of ideas run its course. 'Ownership' will no longer be an issue. I honestly do not understand the resistance. This is some heavy indoctrination. Kinda reminds me of the dock workers union fight against container shipping, and the writers guilds against the printing press(well I wasn't around for that one, but it was documented).

    I guess that's fine if you don't want to bother setting your own background colors. A very pale green-yellow is the most comfortable for me.

  24. Re:At a guess . . . on Study: Light-Emitting Screens Before Bedtime Disrupt Sleep · · Score: 1

    I can change the background color in the reader also, and reduce it to a nice barely green-yellow, right in the middle of the eye's frequency response. It's very easy on the eyes. The combination is every bit as good as paper for me. There's plenty of blue in the sky at the time we need it the most.
