    I've forgotten nothing, you seem to forget what you've said with every single post. You have not said one rational thing yet, or given any reasoning for any of your claims. I've backed up everything I've said with facts and examples.

    You're the one who claimed they were a monopoly 4 times, and have not attempted to give a single reason why they are or listed a single area in which they are a monopoly.

    Your complete lack of knowledge on this subject combined with the argumentative skills of a 10 year old and repeated statements without even the attempt of justifying them make further communication with you completely useless.

    It must be a very sad life to be you. Keep searching for that wizard, scarecrow.

    40 experts and 8 national labs are working on this, and they have access to the house and its contents, I don't see how reading one article about it would be enough information to make the determination that burning the house down is more dangerous. We don't know how dangerous removing the explosives would be, it could be the case that statistically, the sheer number of removals and detonations has a 85% chance of killing 2 or more bomb disposal guys. There just isn't enough information given in the article, and the experts and national labs would be the ones getting the blame if it goes badly, so I'd defer to their opinion on this one.

  13. It's not just that he didn't know on Medical Researcher Rediscovers Integration · · Score: 0

    A lot of people here have defended Dr. Tai, stating that it's not important he know calculus, or that a lot of people rediscover methods of mathematics. But the real problem is he didn't ask anyone about it or seek any kind of opinion on his "new" mathematical technique before publication. Any 2nd year math or physics major could have told him this, or anyone who took and remembered calculus in high school. Any one of his peers that took calculus could have told him.

    He is rightly labeled an idiot because only an idiot would think he discovered a new method in a field that was not his specialty and publish not only without asking an expert in that field, but without asking anyone with even basic knowledge of that field.

    When Wikileaks releases something that actually is newsworthy rather than rather than being the worlds drama queen, then people might care, but so far all we have is wikileaks telling us their going to change the world with their NEXT release

    Yeah, there is nothing newsworthy about the kidnappings, torture, deaths, coverups and treaty violations found in the latest release. No one cares about those things, they're just being drama queens.

    Browse friendships on the new profile is just downright creepy. I know it's all visible info, but I can't think of a single non-creepy reason anyone would want to click and see every interaction between two other people.

    If you were looking at the results for two people, and one of the people you were looking up walked up behind you, you'd try to hide it before they caught you. There really isn't a good explanation you could give them if they saw you doing it.

    It appears to me a tool designed exclusively for stalkers, is there any other reason it exists? I'm really at a loss to figure out why this wasn't rejected the second it was suggested and the person suggesting it isn't avoided like the plague at the office.

    I don't think they're still making money on each.

    Yes, because mine is true (that IS what I think), while yours is a claim of a current fact based on a 4 year old article with prices and profits that have been incorrect for years now. As I said, you could be right and they might still be making a profit on each one, but I don't believe that is the case. Lacking current figures, we can't know for sure, which is why I've kept uncertainty in my posts. We're just presenting two different opinions here.

    The next time you claim that someone fails to understand something, you better post facts and figures proving your expert knowledge of the same subject. Would you care to explain exactly how significantly technology costs drop over time? I'd like to see the math, please show me what is, and how you arrived at, your estimate of current Xbox360 costs, and what factors go into calculating the rate of decline. Thanks!

    The issue in question is Assange and freedom of the press, not about Manning, so that's a red herring. Manning illegally stole and got caught. Assange legally published. Two completely different cases, one is a crime, the other is not.

    If the US is going to assassinate him, what the hell are they waiting for? They know where he is, they know he's going to release more documents. If Assange dies mysteriously, there will be a massive investigation, and the US has just been proven to suck at coverups. The political fallout would be tremendous, the press will be merciless if the government assasinates one of them. Every politician who called out for it would never get another positive bit of press again, and every negative thing that came out would be a major headline. Murder in order to directly contradict the press' constitutionally guaranteed right would NOT be taken lightly, and politicians careers live and die by their publicity.

    So it's all part of a master plan to let him go free for now. They're just waiting for him to cause a little more damage first, then, by gum, they're really gonna nail him, you wait and see. Once he's hit the million confidential document mark, that's when we can really nail him.

    He's been doing this for years. If there was something to indict him on, they'd have done it already, probably when he was releasing the stolen military videos. He's in Britain, if they indict him Britain will hand him over. They just need a constitutionally legal thing to charge him with.

    The best they've come up with so far is a strongly worded letter urging future prospective state department employees to not repost the documents on Facebook.

    Publishing classified material IS legal. Stealing the classified material is illegal, and if it is entrusted to you to keep it classified it is illegal to distribute, but if I find a classified document lying in the street or someone gives one to me there is nothing illegal about publishing it.

    Respecting the constitution is not the sign of an inept ideologue. Just because a few of the previous AG's didn't think they were bound by the constitution doesn't make that a weakness of this one.
