  1. Re:the holy grail ? One Word on NYT On Flying Cars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Every time I hear someone rant about anti-gravity.. my brain starts churning overtime about what we're not considering when we think anti-gravity. This would probably mean counter-acting gravitons.. or gravity waves.. if this is the case, then we will most likely have an understanding of not only how to counteract gravity.. but how to create local gravity as well. This would make space travel as open as the highways we drive on now.. fast food and gas stations included. While anti gravity is cool, and will do wonders on planets.. there is MUCH more space in.. space.. and so, controlling GRAVITY is the real holy grail. Anti-gravity is just like the mastering of electrical current. Gravity control is like setting those currents into small chips, and building devices not considered in the first place. anywho..

  2. it's possible they might delay the release.. on No Half-Life 2 on Steam? · · Score: 4, Funny

    but if they do delay it, here's the upside.. the first motion may take a month to process, but the next motion will only be 2 weeks, then 1 week on the third, and so on.. it's only a matter of time.

    i don't mind burning a few points.. I think we always need a little reminder that we're at war for our rights. Otherwise it wouldn't make headlines so often. We seriously need to all activate and make the phone calls that we believe in. And _that_ is no joke.

    You know.. if we keep up this annoying nonsense of protesting to our elected leaders via the phone, they're gonna include the telephone as a weapon of mass destruction in the newest Patriot Act. _Then_ what are we gonna do? I suppose we could take to the streets.. then that will be made an act against the state. You see my point. We should just forget it all, and go back to our T.V.'s.

    Why wouldn't they? Because in a negotiation, public opinion and outcry will sway the actions of both parties faster that any trump cards and what not. If NK feels they have something stacked on their side, say a test not made public, and then a quiet, more serious negotiation, they would rather talk a bit more privately than normal to the party the aggressive action was directed towards. Us, perhaps? I would guess so..

  15. my suggestion -from a musician on Blog Torrent: Downhill Battle Interview · · Score: 3, Interesting

    umm.. okay, here's my two pence.

    We should start a govt run program, much like Social Security, only one that isn't a joke. It would work like this:

    You're a musician- you get paid by the Artist Living Payment Option. A nationwide program that uses taxes and donations in order to merely pay for distribution, and pay royalties to the artists. Payments from ALPO would be contingent upon number of releases, how current last release, and popularity (based on distribution systems numbers). An algorithm would use these variables to give a somehwat fair distribution of monies alloted/gathered. Distribution? Anywhere wifi can be set up. Which is everywhere, now. Keyosks are set up to have a digital display of songs list.. you pick and choose like a juke box.. create your login name and password.. and log your computer, or wifi IPOD, or whatever to the system and download the songs for free. You want a CD or dont have a computer type thingy? Pay 5 bucks for the hard copy.

    Kinda like shareware.. only I think the govt funding the arts a bit more would benefit the creativity of its future citizens (think children).

    anyway..

    it will never happen. All we'll get as musicians is alpo. Not ALPO.

    no, but what is impressive is that now, if you're a hyper conservative warfaring mongrel looking to the next cold war, you can get funding for a missile defense program that is 'satellite' orbit based, drops missiles that have booster and scram jet technology, and destroy thew lesser advanced arsenal based on regular old rocket technology now in the hands of your foes. It's kinda like taking a poker game and introducing a second full hand.. all stakes on both hands.

  25. Re:wireless vs wire on Pre-802.11n Offers 4x the Speed · · Score: 1

    i don't buy it, without further explanation, like a radar amplification site near me that's signalled by the airport radar to check on planes weakly detected from that site. I am not knocked off by all planes.. I am not directly near the airport, and I use wifi networks all over town, much more near the airport.. the planes passing overhead are the cause, this much is obvious. What's not obvious is how it could be radar when these planes are not AWACs. I have always lived around military bases, and was born and raised in Oklahoma.. a hub of radar systems for the US. I still hold to the fact that there is some form of communications going on that cause this to occur, as it is almost in a predictable pattern, and always when an airplane is directly overhead. Again, not awacs.. and last I checked, those were the only planes carrying radar systems on them. So, if you know something about this I am missing, please do tell.
