  1. Believed it was true? on Global Warming: Do You Believe? · · Score: 4

    Sure, I BELIEVED, then I researched paleoclimatology untill I got the facts, now I KNOW most of what they tell me is wrong, half assed, and for political reasons. Don't listen to me, go out there and look up the OPPOSIE of what youve been told, and see if there is more information and if their side makes more sense. Ever heard of the little ice age 200 years ago? Most people havent. Puts a new slant on the warming trend of the last 100 years when you realise we are coming out of a minor FSCKING ICE AGE. Mideveal england was 1-3 degrees warmer than it is now, which is why there were colonies on greenland which died off when the climate GOT COLDER!! Don't believe me, do your own research. Look at the ice core data, listen to that crackpot opposed to the Microsoft, I mean popular view.

  2. Idea on Why Won't You Pay for Content? · · Score: 1

    Aren't the basic mechanisms in place for this?
    Pgp keys and fairtunes. If someone smarter than me could write a plug in that would:
    1: Ask me if i wanted to pay to read a page when it comes up, yes, no, always.
    2:with the always, alert me if its going to be more than .0025cents or something.
    3: negotiate between the web page and fairtunes using my pgp public/private key to make sure its me.
    4:send the money to fairtunes, then out to the person. (or some sort of service.)

    I know i've got some of this wrong, but how about the basic concepts?

    You also need legislation telling what you're allowed to read, what you should eat, how much youre allowed to spend, and you need to get permission to have sex too. These are all activites that stupid people make bad choices at, and you obviosly need to control this.

    Nope. the autopsy reports are consistent with blunt trauma to the cranium ,consistent with a crazed physicist with a hammer wreaking vengance for the cat pissing on his lab notes.

    As soon as you get a computer to do the work and create the thoughts that Heinlein put out, I think its time for the human race to quietly disappear into the backround to be reused for carbon.

  18. very OT Re:Yer giving him too much credit on Early Man: The Cause of Mass Extinction? · · Score: 1

    Its annoying and dangerous if you dont accept jesus as your god. It dosent matter if you follow the general philosophy of christianity, if you refuse to accept the athority and name of *your* god, you still wind up burnt at the stake, labeled a heretic, generally annoyed and pressured into accepting *your* god as the only acceptable on. THat commandment you are so hot to obey, 'thou shalt have no other gods before Me' means that anyone who isnt with you must be converted, killed, or pitied, you just cant leave em alone.

  20. avacado on Early Man: The Cause of Mass Extinction? · · Score: 1

    From what i understand, part of the avacado's(sp?)life cycle involves being eaten by a giant sloth to help break the seed shell, then being crapped out and growing from there. Then the giant sloths died off, the avacado would have died, except we thought they were tasty, and startd growing them larger for food.

  24. its crappy laws. on GM Investing in Fuel Cells · · Score: 1

    All/most the highways were designed to run at at least 60-80 mph, then in the 70s, they put in the 55 mph crap to save energy, then after the energy crisis, they kept the laws becasue they can make HUGE $$$$ off of speeding tickes, when people arent really speeding, theyre just driving at a comfortable rate for the road. (Ok. so it was a run on sentence, what the hell)

  25. Scuse me? on GM Investing in Fuel Cells · · Score: 1

    Clean fuel? Hydrogen from petrol you call clean?? Bwahahahah. Most moden cars are already so damn "clean" the burning hydrogen isnt gong to matter much. If you want clean, go to hydrogen generated from nuclear, wind, water, solar, tides, or methane/bio/alcohol, but dont even pretend that anything involving gasolene of fossil fuels is clean these days. I saw an ad for "D.C. METRO(subway) Powered by newer clean coal power" I laughed outloud. If you want to save the enviornmet, push for nuclear, and I dont wanna hear about waste, thats what empty oil wells are for.
