Any other (Android) is not really Android. It's some crippled crap corporate malware. CyanogenMod is awesome: Wifi tethering, fast speed, uncrippled features. I would not have an Android phone if there wasn't a Cyanogenmod.
There is absolutely NO DOUBT that a high speed rail system could be economically feasible. It's a matter of making it competitive with airlines, on price, and on convenience, and on speed. If that is done. You will replace the airlines almost over night.
I for one would much rather NOT stand in the homeland security line, and if the train doesn't have a 2 hour take off your shoes wait, well, I'll risk riding with the terrorists.
Somebody in Washington is actually STOPPING the maniacally evil corporations for once? I must be missing something. Either that or I'm going to fall over dead from a shock induced heart attack in 3, 2, 1.......
I've got a linksys wrt54g version 2 already. Isn't that pretty easily hackable? Plus, I need to get my other neighbors involved before I do a full switch, no? I'm really novice at this. Where should I start reading, and is there an English extremely easy option?
It doesn't matter. My wifi router can or can't see the other wifi routers in my apartment building. My ISP has absolutely nothing to do with it, except at the moment, all those routers are hooked up to the ISP, not each other, and everyone is paying $50 a month.
Currently the FCC controls all radio in this country. And corporations control the FCC. And the government. The only solution is a digital revolution. All people need a wifi router and phone that communicate with each other ad hoc, completely cutting out the corporations and government control. Ideally each router would run an open source OS, and also be fully encrypted and onion routing. This would provide anonymity, privacy, freedom of speech, and ensure all of our rights indefinitely. Plus, we'd all have 54mb/sec speed, for free.
This would definitely work in cities, and then maybe a few good people would setup repeaters or fiber that would interconnect cities. At least in every city, the internet should be free, ubiquitous, and anonymous.
We are currently living in the digital dark ages. It's time for the digital age of enlightenment.
Information needs to be available to the public at large. If one of the informants gets killed or whatever, well then maybe we should retaliate, or protect them.
Otherwise, we're just letting people get killed for no fucking reason, which kind of sums up most of the wars we've run since WWII.
Wikileaks are fucking heroes. Anybody assailing the people who bring us REAL INFORMATION are just idiots, nazis, or some sick combo of both, like Rush Limbaugh.
There are literally thousands of professional engineers and scientists clamoring for revised NIST reports, a new investigation, and an official explanation of the obviously ludicrous 9/11 commission report.
As of course are all the families of the deceased.
Claiming that the "official" story has any validity at this point really bespeaks of gross ignorance regarding the entire subject. I don't know a single rational person with even a smidgen of physics understanding that would even begin to suggest that a plane and a little jet fuel could somehow weaken the central columns of all three buildings.
All the "debunking" has been thoroughly debunked at this point. The giant media corporations are still rolling with the obviously false official story, and I can only scratch my head and wonder that ANYBODY still buys that nonsense.
The structural steel at the core of all 3 WTC buildings is incredibly strong. If you've ever worked with the stuff, you KNOW there is no way an aluminum can and some jet fuel could have ANY meaningful effect on it.
This simply DOES NOT HAPPEN due to stress fractures, random chance, airplane fuel, or any other reasonable explanation short of Thermite/Thermate or precision torching, neither of which have been discussed AT ALL in the "official" report.
Frankly, your ignorance needs to be eliminated. Read that AE911 site. It's CHOCK FULL of science, facts, math, and irrefutable evidence concerning that day and it's events.
I couldn't agree with you more! I agree 100% that us wading through the muck has dirtied our reputation and moral standing. In fact, the soviets would be as guilty as we are on every level, and for largely the same reasons. They were a fascism masquerading as a communism. We are a fascism masquerading as a democracy. If this wasn't the cause of so much deplorable human misery, the whole farce might even be funny.
I appreciate your candor, but I was joking about the bong loads. My larger point was that most Americans are on drugs, either prescription or recreational.
You made some good points that I already knew, however they were not especially relevant to the topic at hand so I left them out.
I don't go for conspiracy theories. I read as much as possible. I watch documentaries. Sometimes, as in the case of 9/11, I do some elementary math and basic engineering. Then I determine the most likely cause of events.
Sadly, it has been my opinion that when we captured many German scientists and propagandists after WWII in Project Paperclip, the fascist ideologies and inter-govermental structures began infecting OUR country. In particular the precursor to the CIA, the Council on Foreign Relations, etc..
Since that time, and particularly without checks or even an accounting for after the murder of JFK, our country has been the bad guy in every conflict. Except of course when we are attempting to remove the fascist WE put in, as is the case with Saddam and Noriega. Then we were the good guys, sort of, but only because we had initially caused all of the trouble anyway.
Education is actually what I do for a living. Not something I need to go get. I do however enjoy being educated, and my primary hobbies are reading and watching documentaries.
There was nothing outlandish about my 9/11 facts as told. This is a subject I've researched more than most (with the possible exception of the murder of JFK), and it most certainly was an inside job perpetrated my monetary interests connected with George Bush Sr. and Dick Cheney. There are TONS of financial records to back this up, and ultimately, you get what you paid for, and they most certainly paid for it. Whether they filtered funds through Pakistan or not is almost completely irrelevant, except of course that that also damns their Pakistani associates.
I can in fact prove that steel frame buildings don't just fall down. Particularly building 7. The evidence is insurmountable. Anyone who says otherwise has no grasp of basic physics.
Ludicrous. I could not possibly be overstating the situation. If you want a case by case detailed report of all the fallacious chicanery the US has done over the last 50 years, no. Frankly I'm not going to spend the next 100 years attempting to earn that PHD.
My personal favorite though, I will discuss for a moment: Iraq.
At one time Iraq was a sovereign nation, with a long standing border dispute with Iran. They wouldn't sell us oil for as cheap as we'd have liked, so we installed SADDAM HUSSEIN. A genocidal madman who routinely hung living people on large hooks designed for hanging sides of butchered cattle. That's right, WE installed Saddam. This is most clearly in the record books, and no conspiracy theory. Things were going well: for a little while. He was brutally massacring a bunch of towel heads we could care less about, we were getting cheap oil, he was getting new guns. What could be better? Then one day, he realized that Kuwait also had oil, and that we weren't paying enough. Begin operation desert storm. We shatter his whole army literally in one single day. We restore the retarded religious based fascism to Kuwait, start getting oil on the cheap again, and let Saddam go back to killing the Kurds, which is now especially despicable on our part now, because Bush Sr. had told the Kurds via TV broadcast to "Rise up, so we can help you over through this ruthless dictator". Nevermind the fact that WE installed him in the first place, and then couldn't be bothered when the Kurds rose up and he wiped them all out. At this point we completely starve the Iraqi population with a full embargo. No medicine, no food, no anything. Of course, they could really use modern medicine now too, because we used Depleted Uranium in our munitions during gulf storm, and now most of the population is irradiated and popping out retards and other types of heinous and atrocious birth defects. Too bad! We installed Saddam 30 years ago, and all of you can SUCK IT! Then one fine day, a bunch of corporate greed assholes bring down WTC 1, 2, and 7. They do it with thermate after Jeb Bush ran a few obviously bogus security drills on the towers. This of course happened WHILE Dick Cheney was telling the air national defense to STAND DOWN, after repeated protests from the pilots, and other air traffic personnel. Great! Time to start bombing some people again! Off we go to Afghanistan. To educate women? To kill Muslims? Nope: to put in an oil pipeline, and to secure complete control of most of the world's opium supply. Well, that only took a few hundred American troops, let's go back into Iraq! Cue "Shock and Awe". We use illegal munitions (white phosphorus), and literally bomb giant cities of innocent (albeit religious and ignorant) people back into the stone age. Then we start the best part "Operation Iraqi Freedom" which involves setting up tons of military bases and importing our quality corporate goods and services like McDonald's and Pizza Hut.
If I was an Iraqi, I'd be doing a BIT more than throwing my shoe at the retarded and non elected son of the ex head of the CIA. I'd be out for real blood. Luckily, I live in the winning country, and I can just sit here and snidely smoke bong loads while the religious idiots do what they always do best: Kill each other for profit.
If our country wasn't randomly bombing the shit out of all manner of other people, and actually keeping an informed and healthy electorate whose votes were actually counted, we wouldn't need a system.
This country has been sliding deeper into fascism since JFK was shot in the face. We need a system now because the evil corporations who control everything (news, transport, government, education, food) are doing evil things that honest and decent people are definitely considering fighting with violence.
You may call George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin terrorists, but they were fighting tyranny, and as such were heroes. Just as anyone currently fighting the US government and it's corporate oligarchy is also a hero. I myself will fight any maniacal fascism with such a "system". I would do that because I believe in the Bill of Rights. I believe that all men are created equally, and I believe that the rights of individual people supersede the rights of corporations to continue to profit while murdering as many living things (people included) as possible.
I want HOW the API being used updated. Our desktops should be a perfectly rendered 3d wheat field, gently rustling on a cool summer's eve. Think Far Cry, but no game, just the desktop eye candy. This field would have a button not unlike the start button in the bottom left. It would open many very useful free and open source applications. All of your email contacts with DreamOS would be automagically merged and synced with your iphone or android. If you were at home, your phone would know to route the call through google voice to the computer screen. There, in the field, your contact would appear, either webcam fed background culled, or as an avatar, or more interestingly a blend of the two. Think, just the head on any body imaginable, man or beast. There your friend's disembodied representative would speak with you in perfect 5.1 audio. This OS would also have a plugin system allowing these avatars to conduct basic games real time. Nintendo 64 games, chess, cards....
It being a plug in car, you may get to town and back without every burning any fuel. If you're close enough to town (less than 8 miles, if I understand it does in fact go 16 miles on a charge without using fuel). If you only go back and forth to work, you might never buy gas. If you live close enough to work. Which, if you own that kind of car, you can probably arrange.
I want one. Let me just start shuffling through the couch cushions.....
It was thousands of micro black holes simultaneously created in a vortex. They annihilate each other in seconds, and collapse a quantum vacuum around the radius of the muon. This lowers the temperature automatically in that region of the molecular assembler, and then it warps space time for a second to super conduct from one part of the crystal matrix to another.
It's not like a traditional superconductor at all, and that's why it works at room temperature, but only in the tropics.
The new Ubuntu blows. Buttons all over the damned place, heinous colors (I didn't think they'd get worse than brown).... Every serious manufacturer should look at Mint or something more consistent. Ubuntu has gone rogue, and it's embarrassing.
Apple are just as bad. They are trying to control the whole market with iTunes, the iPhone, and DRM. Not to worry though, it won't work. They will fail and lose just like the PC/Mac war. This time Android will win. Steve is such a douche. He doesn't even learn from his obvious and easy to predict the outcome mistakes.

Isn't there a bounty system for bugs? Do they go up in pay over time? Something like that would probably go a long way to avoiding stories like his.
You mean Windows Vista and Windows Vista 2.0?

There is absolutely NO DOUBT that a high speed rail system could be economically feasible. It's a matter of making it competitive with airlines, on price, and on convenience, and on speed. If that is done. You will replace the airlines almost over night.
I for one would much rather NOT stand in the homeland security line, and if the train doesn't have a 2 hour take off your shoes wait, well, I'll risk riding with the terrorists.
Yeah, in my neighborhood the choice is Cox or..... COX! There is no choice in MOST neighborhoods in the nation.

I will look into it!
No, but I'd like to be! I even provide tech support for most of the neighbors in my complex!
