    You could also maybe use this type of information to figure out how to magnify the effect in people. How many intelligent people are actually smart enough to know the pitfalls of eugenics experiments?

    My dogs are so stupid they don't know how to open a door that's left ajar.

    My little dog will bark his ass off at me, then stare at me through the opening in the door because he's too stupid to put his paw in there and pull it open.

    Reread the summary. The 10km number is just for the initial example. It later goes on to talk about Plank length and how much energy it would take to store the locations of objects down to a Planck length.

    The most interesting thing I get out of this is that the universe apparently fails to use compression to store the locations of things.

  5. Re:But, but, you're using logic and science on Federal Study: Marijuana Use Doesn't Increase Auto Crash Rates · · Score: 0

    The problem is you're using logic and science to argue with people who still believe bullshit WOD propaganda like the "gateway drug" theory.

    They're not interested in facts, statistics, or scientific evidence. Like fundamentalist religion people, they've made up their mind and anything that disagrees with their predisposition is a "lie".

    What's your beef with fundamentalist religion people? We can totally be reasoned with, but calling us idiots because we disagree doesn't count as being reasonable.

    You have to realize that not everyone agrees on what the core truths of life are. When someone believes in a Supreme Being, they don't approach life the same way.

    If SSNs were only used to the extent they were intended, for tax purposes ONLY, and not for anything else, then it wouldn't be a big deal to post them because nothing would be compromised.

    Christianity teaches that only God is perfect. Part of becoming a Christian is admitting that one is a hypocrite.

    Just going empirically, the U.S. would seem to be democratic DESPITE its republican government, not because of it.

    Are you talking about political parties or the original definitions of the words? Can't for the life of me tell.

    The United States is not a democracy, it's a constitutional republic.

    1. The article is about Britain, not America.
    2. The US is not a direct democracy, but it is still a democracy.

    The reason the distinction about republics is so important to people is the same reason United States citizens are being subjugated by their own government. There is the actual law, and then there's the clusterfuck that most people think the law actually is. Nobody actually tries to read the law, they let other people tell them what it says, which is why we have random judges spewing crap and calling it law.

    Case law was never law, people accept it because those around them accept it, it's a self-perpetuating lie that is destroying the US.

    You want to know what the law says? Try actually reading it. It's not fun, it's rather tedious, but it is also rather eye-opening. And this is true for all countries that aren't a dictatorship.

    I think this is for tower to tower type communication. I do have to wonder about rain fade on a 95Ghz signal though.

    As computers improve, the computational requirements for base stations will become cheaper and cheaper, so we might end up havings thousands and thousands of repeater stations spread throughout a town or along a road.

    But I'm just guessing.

    It's even more innocuous than that. The IRS was targeting political groups who applied for 501(c)(3) charity status to make sure they really qualified.

    Do yourself a favor, look up 501(c)(3), then turn back the pages until you find the major heading or sub-heading they fall under. "Foreign businesses and corporations" you say? Yeah, ain't that a shock? Non-profits are voluntarily classifying themselves as foreign because some tax dude told them they're actually getting tax exempt status. The proof is in any major library if people are willing to take the time to look.

  25. IRS preventing fraud? on IRS Warns of Downtime Risk As Congress Makes Cuts · · Score: 0

    Are they preventing their own fraud or the fraudulent taxing of American citizens? Because I'd love to hold the leaders of the IRS accountable for all the people jailed for taxes they don't actually owe.

    Here's a fun game: List out all the laws in the Constitution having to do with money, up to the 16th Amendment. Now go back and figure out precisely what was changed about the law? Then you'll notice a problem if you're really diligent about it, namely the fact that the 16th Amendment is a really vague restatement of the laws that already exist. Our teachers and judges tell us things have changed, but that's simply a lie that's been around for a little over a hundred years.

    Directly taxing an American citizen living and working in the 50 states has NEVER been legal, not ever. The Internal Revenue Code never says anything about directly taxing an American Citizen, not ever.
