While politics and media commentary rule the blogs and airspace, Science get shredded into worthless dribble. Climate Science needs to be taken seriously and not turned into media spectacle. The problem is, the real stuff can be quite boring and mostly looked over. Stories about carbon levels, thermal convection and greenhouse gasses are not read by the majority of readers. Most of the media today is sensationalized and pumped with soundbites to increase readership. Just about every attempt by Al Gore to pass along data his group has collected is countered with disinformation. You never see an attempt to deflate some missed data and provide what the other group thinks is more realistic, We only see a polar opposite approach the just discredits each view and the public takes these battles to the office and public places.
Even with all this funding the real Science does tend to get heard by the people that need to hear it. I've noticed over the years how changes have taken place that are more indirect approaches to reduce climate change. Many businesses are reducing consumption of power, most say it's to increase profits by reducing waste. Recycling programs have been around for at least four decades now but it's just starting to catch on due to waste elimination costs. Meanwhile these same corporations are funneling money into the disinformation channels.
The real question becomes, why are we wasting money on propaganda when that money would better to be spent in fixing the problems.
Now go explain to the Lynard Skynard Bands remaining members and heritage that they have to change the song to "Sweet Home King". At least find a name with 4 syllables so that don't have to change the melody.
Another race to entropy. When we need progressive learning the most to be competitive with other parts of the world we settle back into the trough of the flowing stream. Did someone forget to tell them that stream is the river Styx! (Not the band). Here is my answer to this, if some intelligent being gave you a brain then use the damn thing and stop listening to babble.
HTML/Browser DRM is just another profit driver for big corporations. Just another tool to up their bottom line. It's nothing about the good of the people, protecting your machine from those that want to do wrong. If it were really about protecting any personal content then it would protect content I post on a private or public website. Look at how little control you have on Android and IOS already compared to 2000 when you had a freer internet on a pc. As for the major OSes playing together, won't happen. Each one wants dominance of the big marketing engine that use to be the internet.
This is the part of the answer in the business world if they can't do completely without it. On my workstation I have not missed it and saved huge $ in bandwidth. Now does anyone know how to convince the network administrators to create an opt out policy on the other PCs that I see running flash movies on various websites! Their solution is just to buy more bandwidth. Better, can you live with Goo*le for a month?
I will never get anything from ATT unless it's the last communication service available or I may just go to smoke signals unless they charge a dataplan on that to. I once tried ATT for internet service. Besides that fact it sucked in the late 90s they tacked on almost 9 bucks a month to that 19.99 a month service without any warning they would be added. I did expect 1 or 2 bucks in FCC charges as with all services. When I canceled before the 30 day plans as required, I was charged for the next 2 months in service and had to wait 6 months to get refunded. As soon as I can get my wife to dump the landline ATT is history.
As for Verizon, I paid out the contracts and went with Virgin, just hope Sprint can remain cool though.
NEVER USE ATT
Also both are tracked everywhere they go. They include hi-res digital cameras.
The i5 won't work on mars, who cares about itunes and curi can have all the music it wants. The i5 does not have a laser or built in device to sniff rocks nor wheels to get around.
I agree, it is ridiculous to salesmark a store, you already have the name and sign done. Corporations are just creating this little fantasy world that just drives up the cost of everything and destroys creativity. Now anyone contracted to build these exclusive stores will have to pay kickbacks to apple to license its own construction. I think I might just go and build a store that looks like an apple store on the inside with a walmart facade and sell rubber feces just to piss them off.
It's just a bad idea considering the mass of the moon vs an asteroid of considerable size to be worth it. Over time the oscillations would change the moons earth orbit causing more climate change on earth. Then consider the potential loss of the moon if the apogee gets too great just as a rare planetary conjunction occurs. Oops. They might try stuffing it at La Grange and create some interesting effect but not create too much gravitational change.
We did it before with their DRM DVDs and it stung them. Is Sony prepared to get kicked in the pecans again? Because of the DRM scandle, I still don't own any blue ray have gotten rid of Apple products and am dumping Microsoft this year. I also already dumped Verizon and paid out 15 months of contract just to get away from that fray (but I'll save more in that time). Humankind is in a state of rot with all the corporate takeover of people. Corporations now hold higher priority over life itself. Once lawyers coined the phrase "corporate entity" humans became second fiddle to the game of life. Bailouts, rights to discovery and intellect and disaster recovery all go to corporations before it goes to people. #OWS is a good example of this happening today. What was once a solid is now a liquid. In reality we only rent what we use as we can't take it with us when we go. Now we can't even pass it on.
Most of what Microsoft is doing is outmoded by the rest of the competitors including Linux. Their business model is failing so they are now copying apple which is another tyrant system that people should avoid. People are protesting governments all over the world while hordes of people are buying from these companies that are limiting our freedom to create and express. Even as open as Google is, they are also limiting many ideals with their policies. Linux and the Open communities represent the way humankind is supposed to be. So why does anybody bother with these devices, well its thrust into the faces of billions of people at a time with imagery that changes behavioral patterns. Not only is it on Media, it's also shoved upon unwilling employees by corporations. "Resist!"
Watch it, Protoplasm is probably patented by those big corps that have strangled FF into a media sack. LOL
Not funny is that FF/MF is cowtowing to the big corps so that we loose control of our web experience. I prefer not to use the recent flash and pdf reader because of all the strings attached and adds popping up in the middle of videos or the services running constantly contacting home base to report in (acrobat). I'm not against ads but the media they use is distracting past annoying, many are stupid like jiggling credit cards. I do have to say some car and game ads use nice graphics and render in a less distracting way but to many ad companies don't get it. Sorry, my tinfoil hat turned into metal flakes along time ago making it useless. Gone are the days we had control of our stuff and could own copies of music and do what we wanted.
I think the droids are great because they are less tied to a "i" corp but on the droid platform you still have little control of the content unless you are into rooting and take the risk of getting bricked. Hey Mozilla, I'm starting to see monkeys.
Almost any electronic device and all autos made after the 50s or 60s that has an imported part of some sort.
Do we take it to the next level with minerals and metals imported too?
I think this has about as much chance of standing as a two legged stool.
No Google- for me. or face page. (Big Brothers).
I dumped my g+ when they just suspended account. Guess what most of the spam stopped coming to my account.
And now when I go on you tube, I don't see all those soft porn flicks they stuff in between "detecting neutrinos" and "Lectures on the standard physics model".
I don't see the service lasting more than another year then fading.
I also noticed email from my twitter account stopped coming in and a yellow bar stating your email is not working popped up.
When I sent an email to twitter help I got a nasty gram back about not deliverable. I checked the headers and server spew and there it was mx,google.com refused connection. Google actually blocked mail coming from twitter so I had to change my email addy which was successful.
Anti gravity achieved with superconducting materials but being chilled to -235 might hurt.
The fusion core on the Enterprises made a lot of sense and may be close to the best way to achieve it but creating the amount of anti matter needed to keep the process running would consume every resource we have. Looking at the designs used I doubt we would get enough of a stream of plasma energy to be useful enough to power a car much less two nacells and a whole ship.
Getting stuck in the pattern buffer might extend your life. I often wonders how many clones would spit out if recursion took place allowing you to bust through an 8 hour day in 10 seconds are just enough time for the continuum to catch you cheating the laws of physics.
