  1. Re:great! on Fusion Power Breakthrough Near At Sandia Labs? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is there any evidence (real evidence, not YouTube videos of guys in their basements) of any "revolutionary, clean energy technology" being bought out and extinguished by the oil industry?

    BTW, IMO the guy who made the movie is a fucking coward. Rather than hiding, he should let himself be a martyr. It was especially cowardly of him to give the actors a different script, then dub over their voices with different actors. One actress in the movie was on TV this morning decrying that; she said if she'd been given the script for "Innocence of Muslims" instead of "Desert Warrier" she would have never taken the part.

    True. Independently of the question of whenever the movie was the real reason behind the attacks or just an excuse to make an attack on september 11, the movie itself is pure, disgusting, awful flamebait.

    I wonder if Larry and Sergei, both jews, would take issue with a video revealing just how insidious jewish activity is in global politics, the nature of jewish control over the US economy and political space and the belief held by jews that it is jewish destiny to dominate the world.....

    BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

    I know I shouldn't respond to trolls, but yes, there's tons of antisemitic videos on YouTube.

    Most of them are malicious flamebait, just like your comment and the "innocence of muslims" video.

    Photographers are like guitarists. They are stuck with 60 year old technology because that's what they are used to, and because the kinks and failures on that old tech (vacuum tube distortion, lens flares, etc.) are so ingrained in our culture that new tech has to imitate them in order to satisfy the artist.

    You can believe in the Fall of Man and still believe the book of Genesis is metaphorical.

    If you imagine the tribe of Cain (agricultural, sedentary humans) going to war and decimating the tribe of Abel (pastoral, nomadic humans), the story makes more sense and doesn't bring up questions of who were their wives.

    Mommy, what did they do in Sodom that was sinful?

    They taxed the job creators.

    Actually, the contrary:

    Ezekiel 16:49 "Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy."

    Actually, it's already a criminal offence to run some programs (DRM crackers etc.).

    I'm quite sure it is also a criminal offence in many jurisdictions to use a word processor that you purchased completely legally, to write the planning for a murder, a kidnapping, a bank robbery and so on.

    Blaming the shareholders for the decisions made by the board is like blaming a populace for the decisions made by the government that rules over them. Common sense is all you need to realize that it's just a stinking pile of B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T.

    And still, people commonly blame the populace for the decisions made by their goverments. "People have the goverment they deserve" and all that shit.
