Parent never said it would not ever happen, he said "not in our lifetime". Or descendant we can imagine as modern day human.
Okay, I'm not sure I agree with his last part, as 1,000 years from now, who knows? - but it won't happen in our lifetimes, nor our great great grand children's lifetimes. Have you any idea how far 4.25 light years really is? Interstellar is a whole new scale of distance.We don't have any kind of technology remotely capable of reaching that distance with manned craft, and even a robotic craft with our latest cutting edge technology (ion drive, EM drive) would take tens of thousands of years to reach PC, currently.
No one should say "never", but at the same time, some pragmatism is called for. It's a little depressing, but realist: it'd be a far greater challenge than anything mankind has attempted before.
Obama was not the founder, (though there are conspiracy nuts who claim Obama and McCain and others deliberately funded them) but there was seriously nothing more Obama could have done or tried, besides handwash everything away and declare ISIS a "JV team"? I think that statement very clearly demonstrates a negligent or cavalier attitude, at the time.
If you want to keep backtracking on causation, one could possibly claim G.W. Bush was forced into Iraq because of Bill Clinton's and UN's mishandling of the sanctions against Saddam, too, which were a mess, as well as frequent failure to maintain the no-fly zone during the cease fire of the "first" war. It was actually our sustained military presence in the region that gave rise to Al Qaeda and their hatred of the US. Bill in turn was forced into it because of Bush Sr., who had no choice but to respond to Saddam's aggression against Kuwait. If only SH had kept his damn army in Iraq, none of this would probably be happening.
How precious.
How about you stop trolling like a whiny loser. You're what's wrong with slashdot anymore. I see nearly all your comments are hateful angry ad-hominems at users who don't have the grand wisdom you believe yourself to possess, and you lash out at everyone. Oh, and "Foe" me all you want, your emotional quotient is less than a toddler's. It's almost entertaining; with your lousy signal to noise ratio, you certainly dull any point you attempt to make.
How am I supposed to get my augmentations without becoming addicted to Neuropozyne if Sarif's gene therapy is outtlawed? Darrow or Taggart must be behind this! :)
Those links don't all actually match up to the claims made here.
I'll grant you, he's scatterbrained on nuclear proliferation, he keeps contradicting himself.
On NATO and protectionism though, Trump has said some NATO allies aren't pulling their weight financially, that's very different from saying he'd abandon them if Russia attacked. He also pointed out that we are paying through the nose to protect a rich country like Saudi Arabia who spends much less on their own protection, who probably wouldn't exist without our protection, and we're losing money doing it. He's asking, why do we keep funding everyone else so much? Are the other countries so broke that everything would fall apart without US financial support? Those are valid points.
Just.. wow. Could you miss the point of the constitution any further? The whole thing was set up to guard against large, all powerful, monolithic ruling bodies such as King George III and Parliament. There's no hypocrisy there. That's why so much power was disseminated to the people, and the individual States as well. But the States have been steadily losing any real sense of sovereignty under Federal rule for decades, where they're little more than proxies, these days.
The guys who wrote the Constitution had it right; the government today, not so much.
It's almost hysterical, this loonbait conspiracy crap. Why should Putin favor Trump, when Trump clearly favors the US over all other countries? (as a President for any particular country *should* be putting the interests of his own countrymen first). Putin would more likely actually prefer a POTUS that is going to be weaker on foreign policy, if anything; just about everyone wants to knock the US down a peg or three.
It's just FUD and hypocritical fearmongering from the DNC; instead of getting their panties twisted up over terrorism, which is actually a credible future threat, they're getting them twisted up over a supposed conspiracy between Russia and a real estate tycoon/nominee. You can't make this stuff up. It's rather pathetic.
Planned obsolescence sucks indeed, and you nailed it with the fashion comment; but realistically, very very few people could afford to drop $30 grand every two years on a new car. The iPhone is generally about $200 with a 2 year contract.
I can't say I've ever had music or eBooks erased on me though. So far.
It is in this case because it's an election year, and the candidates are either Trump or Clinton. None of the other party candidates have a remote chance this year. It's not a false dichotomy, one of them will be president, which is the least worst?
He might've gotten the Nobel but he didn't believe in QM's bizarre properties and seeming contradictions for the most part (coining "spooky action at a distance" as a disparaging phrase, for example), that's probably what the grandparent meant by "ignored" it.
Don't why this is downvoted at the moment. She may have been honest (for once in her life) with the FBI, it's not like they're gonna pull the plug on the top DNC candidate and basically force the election outcome, unless she outright shot somebody dead in cold blood. And even then they might find an excuse.
She's shown before she can be callous regarding sensitive matters, and just expect it swept under the rug.
FWIW, to take that a little further, I have a family member who was a state trooper in Internal Affairs, then got his law degree and became a deputy attorney general for the state (now retired), who said, as someone with some criminal law insight, that the "no reasonable prosecutor" statement was actually a veiled threat, or a warning, when you read between the lines. He's saying that no one is to pick up the gauntlet and continue to try to prosecute her, it's not going to go well for them.
"Economically incapable".
He had a grand total of four businesses (3 if not all 4 of them casinos), out of the *hundreds* of businesses he runs/owns, go into Chapter 11 (not Chapter 7) during the '80s when all NJ casinos were doing very, very poorly? Chapter 11 isn't failure and closure of business, it's a suspension of payments to creditors until the company gets back on it's feet; it actually saved jobs and the casino, at the time.
You can not like Trump for various reasons (a lot of people would argue your "likable" label as well) but the argument that he is economically incapable only indicates complete ignorance of economics.
Who in their right mind would even want the job, given the current state of affairs both domestic and foreign? It's all such a clusterfuq. Trump may believe he's the guy that can "fix" the country, but he's being a good deal delusional. Hillary just wants to secure a place in history as the first female POTUS. That makes them both egomaniacs.

And I suppose time is just a concept?

We're gonna need a bigger .. safe space.
So Russia were the good guys then? Their state run media is even less trustworthy.
I just have a more mature brain. Is there any correlation between white matter and "big bones"?

Not to mention a lot of tin foil hatters consider cross pollination GMO too.
Citation? I thought she was a model.
Somehow I'll bet you're good with people saying, "bae" though.
Yo, my bae is lit, fam, she drives a Prius.
Now that's lingual sophistication m'boy!

Well, that's particularly depressing to know this election year.

So long as your Johnson isn't feeling the Bern. Go see a doctor if it does.
.. or is it Dodge Ball? *Smack* ! -that's gonna leave a mark.

I guess you could look at Juno as sort of a flying data center ;)
That'd be one long rack.. about 550 U or so.
