So much work is being done and validated with regard to free energy (ZPE - Zero Point Energy, and many others), with no acknowledgment, this may be a great test.
We have gone over this a thousand times. It will never happen for some of the reasons stated in an earlier reply. I'll take my dual 1GHz, nVidiaGeForce4, 1.5 GB RAM, built in super drive, etc...performance? Oh boy...
No shit, not to mention his "complaints" hold almost no water. Mac users use command keys FAR more than any windows user I have ever met, which make the use of another mouse button far less important.
In fact, most good mac users keep their left hand on the keyboard for this purpose. Not to mention, command key usage is FAR faster than "point and click" anyway.
It just makes me cringe when I hear peopel STILL complain about that.
If you want a wheel, buy a different mouse like everyone else. They're $25 for an optical two button wheel mouse.
Superluminal space travle is possible, and will undoubtedly be the future of space exploration for man. In fact, I think it's a small crime against us that NASA is putting so much new money into nuclear propulsion, when clean, free, and unlimited power can be achieved today via Zero Point Energy (ZPE).
As to your "shrimp to land" argument, I give you this . There are many others, but my time is short.
I know many others may also give you this, but here it is again.
No offense, but I tend to believe in an observable reasoning to our evolution rather than "faith" in an all powerful "being" that "created" us. I would think simple logic would prove evolution as the simpler explanation, and a far less stretch of the two, by far.
Welcome Occam's Razor.
There is far more evidence for evolution than a magical being with time on his hands when concerned with our "creation", so that's where I'll stay. How could God chastise me for following the path of proof?
This forum isn't long enough to list all the things we now enjoy due DIRECTLY to advances made in space technology via development of things like the ISS, the hits AND the misses i.e. take your pick of Mars explorers that didn't make it. I know, that to those who know nothing of the ISS or other space programs other than it's a big money object floating in outer space, this insight may be lost, but believe me, your statement couldn't be more irresponsible.
Another bug perhaps, but when I win a battle, the amount of AP and money I get disappear WAY too fast. I never know what I have gained! You have to know where to look on the previous screen to see it before it disappears.
It sucks, but it's the ONLY thing I have found so far that annoys me. The rest of the game is inspiring.
I hear some people ripping the game to shreds for seemingly minor things, and I just look at the detail in the background scenes for EVERY LITTLE geographic movement around the world you happen to be in at that time, and I think "My god, how long it must have taken these people to do this". It's truly unbelievable when you comprehend this. Artist created thousands of awe-inspiring backdrops that make the game feel more "real". The water and sky look as if they are video, some of the people respond using voice, all rooms are rendered unbelievably, the story is truly intriguing, etc...
I know this sounds like I'm a PR suit for Square, but the game is truly breathtaking to view, andplay.
Every part of the moon sees light from the sun as it rotates. The DARK side is simply the side that is dark AT THAT TIME, just like there is a dark side of the Earth at all times.
The FAR side of the moon is the side that we never see, as it rotates FACING the Earth.
You state that "one or two cases of the FBI overtepping its bound" would be likely. I think the very fact that millions of "overstepping" cases are possible, without our knowledge, is the bigger problem, by FAR. You have quite a naive trust of our government, and I would rather they didn't have that power.
A criminal shouldn't be sought after until they have shown criminal intent. Then and only then should they be investigated.
Magic Lantern is used to gain information. If you think that millions were spent to check Johnny pedophile's E-mail, you're wrong, and would STILL be illegal without a warrant.
I don't understand why people aren't up in arms about this. The damage to psychological freedom far outweighs the benefit of catching www criminals, which again, is a secondary use of this technology.
IMHO, we're getting the PR version, and we're eating it up.
I would suggest (yet again ; ) that the ability for life to adapt to it's environs is quite remarkable based on your assumption.
Of course for this to happen, you need replication with room for differences to occur. With our species this is achieved through sex - RNA/DNA convergence (this is not to suggest this is the ONLY way for this to happen, as you said "life that we know of"), trial and error if you will.
This is a requirement for a successful life form, as you stated. Wouldn't that be an argument for the apparent remarkeable adaptation of life, that in order for life to occur there needs to be a system in place that would inherently suggest great adaptability, and that this may not be such a strange assumption (the voracity of life to form/adapt in places quite unlike Earth)?
I would also suggest that the Earth is relatively young compared to the the current suggested age of the universe, and that there could concieveably be FAR more advance life forms out there if they MERELY have followed our own evolution.
I fully understand the implications of the speed of light.
What most people do NOT understand though is this. We as a species are just now PUBLICLY (I point this out because I know for a fact that as a GOVERNMENT we have known this for quite some time) that we, within the boundaries of relativity, can warp space time to travel at SEEMINGLY faster than light speed. To travel almost instantaneously to any point in our universe by bringing those two points together, pulling yourself to that point if you will. I firmly suggest that this is possible, and that it is being done quite often by intelligent beings not of an Earthly origin. SETI is a sucker of money, resources, and hope. Using high altitude radar would find what they are looking for quite readily, as we do right now without public knowledge. My reasoning isn't to persuade you of these things, I am simply stating them as I know them to be true, and therefore find SETI, and many peoples comments here quite silly within my scope of knowledge. Research these claims, because you won't find the proof on CNN or NBC.
Is this based on life as WE know it? Of couse it is. To suggest that other intelligent forms of life would have to follow our own path, with what our own planet offered is what's absurd.
Extremeophiles would tell us that life can arise in the most extreme cases. Like on an asteroid, or just floating in near space.
So 8% in one galaxy time billions of galaxies...sound like good odds to me, even by your broken assumptions.
Sounds like REAL good odds.
I'm not even going to go into the mountain of proof that "they" are and have been visiting us for eons. Just ask the military/government/intelligence whistleblowers who have risked their careers, family, income, etc... for nothing in return but ridicule that they KNEW they were going to recieve. The almost BIGGER story has been the cover-up. Quite impressive.
The amount of Earth mass we convert to energy on a daily basis would FAR outweigh anything we actually ADDED to our planet. We are losing mass at what would seem an incredible speed, but when you look at the numbers, this planet is far too massive for us pesky inhabitants to make a mass difference that would alter ANYTHING. Adding to it would only slow the consumption of us humans, as far as mass goes.
Adding to the mass of our planet what (relatively) little we would bring back is merely a sidenote, and nothing of concern, AT ALL. A drop in the ocean if you will.

Funnier than hell!! I love it. Oh how I love the dumb ones, without them, I would never laugh. Thank you for pointing out his stupidity.
Here here!
I absolutely feel QT's quality is superior to WMP, and WMP on the Mac can hardly be called exceptional in ANY form.

Ahh yes, but INCREASING the defense budget by 43 BILLION dollars is better?
Killing people is far more profitable I suppose...

You would have known what the Fuzz Ball was.
Oh well, lost humor is still funny.
Ever see a borg in the Next Generation Star Trek series?
"You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."
Fitting AND funny. I like it.
I think you're right.
I can see my hand flying over my head at high speed making that "plane" sound...
It's news for nerds. Are you saying Video Game discussions aren't nerdy enough?
My god! I...oh wait...my glasses just broke again...where's that tape again!
DAMMIT! My pen just exploded again!
*sigh* I think I'll just relax and take some hookers to the "Fuzz Ball".
