    >The government is the one with the guns.
    it's not so bad when that government is not in the hands of haliburton and co.

    >And big government is what causes big business in the first place
    It does NOT. we(belgium) have a rather large public sector, and no big corporations.

    What is it that Americans have with big government ?
    Big business is much worse than big government, you are being deceived by all these people that say big government is bad ... only governments can reign in the power of the corporations.

    But don't blanket the idea of faith as a negative, its disrespectful. D 10000 years of killing is enough to justify distrust in religion.

    faith is a tool: it keeps the people ignorant, uncritical and divided... (just as nationalism does: that's the new tool)

  10. not the whole story on Microsoft Complains About Google's Monopoly Abuse · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i don't like MS, but i can agree with MS, their story certainly contains grains of truth, but i think MS has other things it should worry about than the AD-market when talking about google. The fact is, google moves the "desktop" away from the windows-platform, and that should worry MS a lot more than the Advertising market, because that is the hart of the MS-empire.

    Hence Diesel Electric freight trains but the fastest non-rocket-powered machines on the planet by far are electric trains. TGV top speed : 574 kph(about 360Mph) the fastest petrol-engine machine i know off only does 660kph(410mph). (that's a LARGE gap!)

    very nice table. but it is useless, you have to factor in the mechanicals needed to take out the energy.
    You can have a few grams of U-235 in your car, but that won't make it move, you need a (very large, heavy and unwieldy) reactor to do that. - same goes for gas: it is compact, but last time i checked an engine running on gas weighs hundreds of Kg, while an electric motor weighs a few Kg - (that's why the electric car will eventually rule the highway - note: this will take a while, because carcompanies want you to pay them a lot of money on maintenance)
