I stand here amazed that a government that I personally consider an Apex Predator has the same views that I do about m$. I can count on my hand the number of times that I am in agreement with the Middle Kingdom, and still hold a cup of Coffee. Maybe the Smiling Show Offs that lead the Middle Kingdom are starting to understand the concept of "Community", na, there's no money in it.
I've tried the m$ search engine, twice; it was twice to many times. The m$ ads demonstrate what search engines fail at, bing included. But the one thing that I see as the biggest pain of Search Engine results are the ignoring of Semantic Topics. I know this is not a trivial task. I see a future where using a PERL program to read a Bing page and present it to the reader the way Google presents results. These statements beg the question, "Which Computer Language is best for Massive Correlation Analysis?" Could this be the aim of Google's GO language?
I'm still wrapping my head around the concept that a private club may have to be Taxed on the profits generated by, "...abuse, false imprisonment, and forced abortion..." I'm not familiar with the laws of the "Land Down Under", but it sounds a little kinky, if you understand my drift...
My computer behaves like a cat all the time. It ignores me. It stops when it wants to. It lays on my desk. When I call it, it doesn't look back at me. It must be nice to be Recession proof.
I was going to blow the film off as a Y2K 2.0 type film. Now I'll wait till it gets to the $3.00 ticket movie theater. Break a Leg. Just as a foot note, the Mayan's equate the end of their calendar as like December 31st. The calendar just starts over.
I've worked for a Telco, the content of the article is a "Bell Weather" article. My bet is AT&T will be the first to shove ads down its users throats. But you may be right; we are talking about all those impoverished executives who can only purchase Lear instead of a Citation when things get a little tight.
I buy my phone, I buy my time to use the phone on someones network. An now some Smiling Show Off says no, not yet? I just have one question to Apple, "The 'Droid works on Sprint, the iPhone doesn't? No problem?"
Helium-3? Thanks for the heads-up. As for the business model, there are companies that own the wire, but not energy source; and vise versa. When I was saying that the folks who own the wire would smile, I was thinking of their business savvy; for them more energy equates to more profits. And that makes most business people smile. I can't help but wonder if the Pro's will start the electrical generating process with Deuterium-Tritium, then change the fuel grade to Helium-3 once the environment has stabilized?
Point One sounds pretty cool, but check your spelling, it's "V A S I M R". Point Two, this energy generation method is not Short Term, at least not from what I have been reading. The Neutron issue sounds interesting, except for the case of when Neutrons fly away, won't the Electrons, and Protons have as much freedom as the Neutrons? And why do Neutrons "stick" to Protons in the first place? Point Three shows a lack of doing your home work, yes there will always be some evil genius trying to build a better mouse trap. But the people that make the global decisions are not Evil Geniuses, or Politicians; they're Wealth Mongers, and they completely understand that killing customers is bad for business. I still think about Point One! Damn! A working VASIMR Space Drive; now that's cool.
It's not a Conspiracy, it's a Business decision. When this Fusion thingy does start working, it won't be useful till someone plugs it in to the power grid. Now the folks that control the Power Grid are going to smile. Energy Suppliers are going to start patenting, and litigating like there's no tomorrow; and for them, if they can't find a way to sell their energy, there won't be a tomorrow. Deuterium-Tritium can be picked up off the ground, but not on planet earth. Someone is going to have to go to the moon and get a bucket of the stuff.
Think to the next step. Sometimes one has to get more involved with their community. Maybe in your community there is a government department that is overstaffed, and overpaid. Maybe, for the good of the community, this department should be downsized. Maybe the service this department does could be better handled by a smaller staff more open to interacting with the community, not just being its hammer for nails that stick out?
You do not stand alone. In 1993, one could call Microsoft and ask for help; today, get out your credit card. I remember a day when m$ was a part of the micro computer industry; now m$ is its apex predator. 20 years ago, when I spoke these words, I was talking about IBM/UNISYS/Teradata, m$ is now what these companies were. I have shown my family, friends, colleagues, and supervisors that one does not need gates, when one doesn't need windows; and as times get harder, these people listen more.
Interesting little Verizon Wireless,(VW) fact that I got to experience was an ETF withdrawal for $50 out of my checking account. I don't use VW, but I do subscribe to their FIOS product; so I called the contact number associated with the transaction. Ya it was Verizon, ya it was their Wireless Department. "$50? Out of your account? We don't have a record of that transaction, ah Sir."; the joy in this woman's voice was completely unmistakable. As I got more tert, and pissed, I started to think what had to done on my end of the phone. So I called my Credit Union. "Disputted" the Transaction, now the $50 is back in my account, and Verizon can deal with a Shop Lifting problem. Then I went one step further, I notified my Credit Union NOT TO ACCEPT any more ETF requests directly from Verizon. Seeing how my problem was so funny to Verizon's Wireless staff, I figure it will be even funnier if the only way Verizon can get paid is going through their bank, first. Last month Verizon cashed my check, just like everybody else.
I don't need to waste my time making Law Enforcement MORE confused. Instead I lobby to change clauses in various laws till what I am doing is legal. Let the Sargent Stedenko's work with that.
"Knee Jerk Reaction"? 50 years is long time to wait just so that I can watch a genius put a Nut on a Bolt, 350 miles over my head, or repeat a High School chemistry lab. Because of what NASA does, and NOT what NASA is doing; I'm still convinced that NASA's projects would be more focused on Space Issues if NASA's decision making areas were on the Moon. If NASA wants Headlines, how about this one, "Today, NASA gently landed a 3 Kiloton Ice Comet in a deep crater at the Moon's South Pole." Now its OK for my coffee to become cold as I am now compelled to listen to the actions of somebody else.
For Op-Ed News, I prefer Howard Stern, and the "Daily Show". I'd like to say Robert Cobert, but his stinging analysis only causes me to realize that there are many people in decision making positions that have thoroughly embraced Mediocrity. For reporting the news, I agree, the BBC still gets it. As for noise generated by beautiful women that read a Teleprompter, nice to watch, but they're a White Noise generator when trying to think while listening. It's amazing how ignored the "Butterfly Effect" is by people. I still agree with Howard Stern, "News is NOT two or more reporters talking to each other, it's a reporter interviewing a person who has done something."
I'm reminded of the movie, "The Last Mimzy", not the short story. There was a scene of a group of spiders building a bridge, together. Talk about communicating to an alien intelligence. What a Thesis to read, something about mimicking spiders in space to create a tether for space elevator applications.
The crowd of ragged locals gather, all chanting in a low voice, "My Crow Soft, My Crow Soft, My Crow Soft". A Google search shows the following, The SecureIT Alliance enables leading security vendors to collaborate in order to improve the process of building and integrating Microsoft platform-friendly products. I can only think there's a Grinning Show Off hard at work at m$ saying to itself, "It's been a hard work day, but I earn my pay at m$"
Who ever moded you Offtopic is confused. NASA has basically repeated early 1950's science; why? If this experiment had been done on the Moon, then I would have lead a 3 Cheer Salute. This repeated experiment only reaffirms what is common knowledge in Middle School. So NASA, how about it, how about putting NASA's administrative offices on the Moon? That way when some scientists does something, the focus of, "Why Are We Here" can be made more clear, and at a level even a child could appreciate.
I was thinking that this would make a good DARPA project. The Intelligence community has been looking for a method to send a listening device to a place without human intervention for some time. I was thinking that a female Praying Mantis would make a better courier. The problem with using apex predators is that they often do other things that might draw attention.
The Browser source would look pretty straight forward. As for the Server side, that traffic and content recording capability would be straight forward also.

How about Lunar Gold, Silver, and Titanium? Mining the ore would only involve the act of bending over and picking it up.
