  1. Maybe It's Time for a New Industry? on NASA-Funded Study Investigates Collapse of Industrial Civilization · · Score: 1

    What if you needed a power drill, for a short time. So you went to your backyard, with a bucket and shovel and got some dirt. Then you went to your Mr. 3D Printer and emptied the dirt into its input material hopper. You then pressed a button that has an image of the power drill you need. Ya, it will only last a few times, but that's all you need it for.

    Ignore the gods, ignore the cultures; consider their screaming cries, on the wrong frequency.

  7. Ah, ha on Ukraine May Have To Rearm With Nuclear Weapons Says Ukrainian MP · · Score: 0

    Isn't it about time everybody throttle back? The Crimea was going independent after the May elections anyway. All Captain Putt-putt had to do was sit and wait. Captain Putt-putt offered 15 billion for Ukraines' 37 billion dollar need. Why not have the Ukraine go the EU and ask for the rest? As for Captain Putt-putt, ya, he's a hard ass. But can Russia really afford anymore of his antics? And I guess if Kiev wants to turn Moscow into a glass lined lake, China is going to care?

  8. That's about how long the NSA will take to crack it; and move on.

  9. Re:Not a subsidy? on NASA Admits It Gave Jet Fuel Discounts To Google Execs' Company · · Score: 1

    You're burying yourself on this one. You might want to check what happened to a General White, and the C-17. The program needed the half-billion dollars, but Congress didn't approve it. He came very close to going to jail over it.

    So how is it that Google can buy, but I can't?

  16. Re:Not a subsidy? on NASA Admits It Gave Jet Fuel Discounts To Google Execs' Company · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What I find interesting is that NASA knows how much was sold, accepts that the sale was below market value. So my first question is, "why did NASA sell fuel to anyone?" Is NASA a public fuel station for anyone? Have the "Enlighted ones who do not suffer from 'Go Fever' decided that NASA should become a "Profit Center?" What else has NASA sold, at Tax Payer expense?

  17. Just Curious on TrustyCon Session Videos Now Online · · Score: 1

    How would TrustyCon create a "Three Laws Safe" framework?

  18. From reading the blog site, it appears that there is some benefit to creating a 2D acceration wrapper around OpenGL? It's obvious, I'm not getting it.

    Why add a layer of complexity to OpenGL? Why not just explain OpenGL for 2D operations more clearly?

    I believe that the current batch of Polio victums could debate that on point. But one must remember those who beat the drum against getting Vaccinated, These sinister types deserve so much for causing the pain and suffering they are making.

  25. Re:Directly contacting gov agencies. Good idea? on Using Google Maps To Intercept FBI and Secret Service Calls · · Score: 1

    I have. I asked a question to the FBI; once. They say they won't tell you if you're doing right or wrong. I state, "you can tell me the law, and then I can make a decision." I then ask, "do you know which law applies to this non sense my client wants me to do."

    The FBI are nice folks, they get to deal with some really messed up people.
