the problem comes in when only one sides reserves the right to, and frequently uses, the ability to kill the secularists
progress cannot happen if one side doesn't just debate, but frequently murders proponents of progress
there are forces of the right in every country. but think how much worse it would be. for example, here in the usa, if all the bs you see the right was saying was also accompanied by frequent murder of those on the left, and full support within the right to do so
now you have some idea of what it is like to be a force for progress in bangladesh, or anywhere in the muslim world
and it is why islamic radicalism is so dangerous. not so much to the whole world, but specifically to the muslim world. it is a solid, effective phenomenon: just murder your progressive opponents. solid results: no progress
the muslim world will be mired in this nonsense for a long time, much carnage, and much misery, and poorer, less happier societies
say what you want about islamic fundamentalism, but it works: it keeps societies beholden to right leaning thinking, simply because all you have to do murder those who oppose you
the experts weren't even looking for the russian rock. there's no data on it except for the moment of impact
if the loose gravitational agglomeration is large enough, it's possible for the smaller rock to pass by on the other side of the earth, swinging around and appearing to come from another direction
if the loose gravitational agglomeration is large enough, it's possible for the smaller rock to pass by on the other side of the earth, swinging around and appearing to come from another direction
wouldn't it be possible that for every rock we see in space there are some smaller rocks held in loose gravitational formation?
these things have been out there for a very very long time. plenty of time to pick up loose junk
i mean look at pluto: every time we look at it we find a new pebble moon. pluto is not exactly a gravitational power house. it's just that the neighborhood is full of a lot of flotsam and jetsam
i wouldn't be surprised that deep space objects, no matter the size, are often loose agglomerations of stuff
i think it is very possible that this meteor very much is (was) associated with DA14
this dorner guy is systematically going after those whom he has targeted as being responsible for grave wrongs in the lapd
and a lot of people sympathize with him
the problem is, you don't actually solve any of the problems he's complaining about by shooting people
we live in a civil society. if you want to change a law, you change it. if you want to change a status quo, you agitate
shooting people does what? turns you into a target for a manhunt. that's it
you don't solve these problems with a gun. sorry
i don't really know why this stupid idea appeals to some people unless you are actually an unhinged individual
and yet your comment is modded +5 insightful? seriously?
all this tells me is there are far too many unstable people with guns in this country
there is no ammo box option. it's not an option in a civil society
really
and if you believe the ammo box is still an option, YOU are yet another problem the rest of us sane people who are pissed off with the DHS have to deal with
it's only like this because not enough texans like you are agitating about this
i would bet a majority of texans agree with you. the problem is a highly motivated, highly vocal minorty highjack the process and the majority is quiet and complacent about the whole nightmare
you need to get involved. you get the texas you deserve. so put some effort into it, kick these militantly ignorant morons off your school board, and restore texas to the modern world
the classic "one event in the 1950s is the root of all evil and all other iranian history is besides the point and all iranian behavior today is because of this one event in the 1950s" play
uh... you want me to do what again with your massive strawman?
the simple point is the warmongering is going on in iran just as much if not more so than the west. they chant "death to the usa" in massive demonstrations every year at least for over 30 years. they fund and supply terrorist groups and the assad regime. nevermind their OWN FUCKING PEOPLE rose up against them and they brutally murdered them in return. in ancient history? no, in 2009
this is how the regime in tehran treats its OWN PEOPLE:

robots killing robots
wars settled in a clash of machinery without any humans for miles around
fair use should apply
it all happens on corporate property, but that doesn't trump the common news value
this is a dangerous precedent if corporate PR trumps newsworthiness
this is how and why western democratic ideals and freedoms are undermined by runaway financial power
Amazing stuff, tinfoil.
it makes a great hat
the D is silent
no, the one over russia was very rare. it was very large
the tunguska event in 1908, ironically also over siberia, is the last time we had something as large or larger, a century ago

well then we are left with extraordinarily cosmically improbable coincidence that two large objects approach the earth in a small time frame
people love to say correlation is not causation
what they forget to say is that correlation is the first step in establishing causation

thanks a lot, way to ruin my bad joke...

do you think that it just random that this story appears on slashdot today?
think about it

how hard is it to get the software tuner to get FM radio working on a smartphone? it's not
so how come i know of no smartphone that offer it?
it can't be a tech decision, so it has to be a business decision
in which case, who is saying "no freaking FM radio on smartphones"? the manufacturers? the cell companies? the content cartels?
and depending on who is blocking it, why? what's the business logic?
and how come clear channel communications or whatever union of radio stations isn't screaming bloody murder about this status quo?
and i follow tech pretty closely. so how come i never see or hear any media coverage of this odd glaring oversight?
as for TV, i understand that QAM signals do not work for a receiver in motion
so my question is really just specific to FM radio (and AM too, why not?)
maybe the insightful is the thought of the effect of the sun cycles on our current situation, even if i was off a few years
so the upswing will come fast and furious any year now?
ah yes!
the classic "one event in the 1950s is the root of all evil and all other iranian history is besides the point and all iranian behavior today is because of this one event in the 1950s" play
how can one argue with such stunning intellect!
how did you know it was advances in wood nut and legume technology that led to such effective faking of the moon landing?
yes, it's completely nuts!
i'm so glad i've found a friend who understands the depth of conspiracy going on here
