    Fuel Cells Promised For Next Year

    What does this year run off of?

  2. Re:Not new! on Flowing Water Discovered on Mars · · Score: 1

    I couldn't have summed it up better. When I first heard RCH I thought he was an awesome guest! Then the more I heard him the more I thought the guy was a complete nutcase. I had written him off since last year when I heard him on C2C begging for money (i mean openly begging.. "please give me money!") but now I think I have to take another look at this guy.

  3. Not new! on Flowing Water Discovered on Mars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Over 2 years ago Richard C. Hoagland was on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell and sad discovered this very thing after looking through images that came back from our mars explorer.
    Enterprise Mission
    So not only is echelon real, not it's confirmed that RCH was right all along. Starts to make these conspiracy shows a little more credible doesn't it?

  4. Re:hmm on Mozilla.org Launches Mozilla 1.3 · · Score: 1

    I am SO pissed! I just built my friend a new computer and we went to a website and got 4 popups! So I said "Man let's get you mozilla!" I downloaded and installed it and went to configure it to block popups and the setting was GONE! All the other settings for what a browser can do to the window were there but the "Open Unrequested Windows" was gone! This is the 1.3beta that they "suggest" you download *(the link in the gray area of the download page)
    What gives?

    Any chance that to inform the masses about this they will do a mass calling at 6:30pm (dinner time) ? ;)

  6. Re:So, is Echelon good now? on Echelon Used to Capture Terrorist · · Score: 1

    Makes you wonder what else they aren't telling us.
    Years ago on Art Bell's show he was telling us about Echelon and the gov't and nay-sayers were saying "Oh come on, that's a conspiracy theory". The French government started spouting about that Echelon was real AND that these UFOs people are seeing are also real and from an unkown origin, and that the US gov't was keeping a lid on this info.
    So what else is there we should know?

  7. Re:Can someone explain on New Zealand Looks at Internet Censorship · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Censoring is only needed when the one doing the censoring has something to hide.
    Case in point China. Free information is the enemy of those who seek to oppress. It doesn't matter if the oppression is economic or social, it's still oppression.

    LMAO! YES! I recently went to tour Full Sail here in Orlando (*cough* scam *cough) and they were like 'If you look beind you that server has 3 terrabytes of storage" and I said "Umm.. my home computer has 200gigs.. i'm SO not impressed!"

    And others just love Elisha Cuthbert in 24! :) Buffy what??

  14. Re:not a rockstar on A Music Industry Case Study · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some one forgot along the way that it's really about the music. Musicians don't make music so that they can become famous.. they make music because they love to make music. Sure we strive to "make it" but even though most don't make it.. it's still rewarding. True music is an art.. prefab music is a business. I have been writing songs since I learned guitar when I was 12. 8 years later I have a band... I could care less if we "make it". I just love to get together with my band and play music and give that music out to people who want to hear it. Remember, there are a lot of rock stars and wanna be rock stars out there.. but a lot of them aren't musicians.

  15. Re:going through your own stash... on 65 CPUs From 100 MHz to 3066 MHz · · Score: 1

    Before I bought my Archos MP3 player, I built a computer using old components that played MP3s in my car.... it was a Pent 133 and it was perfect for the job.

    lol I miss my legos! Welp this is just another thing my self and google have in common.. we were both accidents of our creators! ;)

  17. Re:I agree; sounds nothing but trollish. on The Faded Sun · · Score: 1

    There are MANY areas of Science! By your logic even the hubble isn't a big deal compared to being able to seperate siamese twins joined at the head, or wiping out small pox. Though inventing Java isn't as big of a deal (in the grand scheme of things) as the genome project, it still is a big deal in it's field.

  18. Re:Yes, it's legal on Circuit Court Okays Vote Swapping Site · · Score: 1

    Ooops that should actually be "any law on the books that punishes you" Since no law STOPS any one from doing any thing.. it mearly punishes their actions.

  19. Re:Yes, it's legal on Circuit Court Okays Vote Swapping Site · · Score: 1

    Ok give me my million! Selling 200 kilos of cocaine doesn't take ANY ONES right to life liberty or property through fraud or force. There shouldn't be a SINGLE law that is on the books that stops you from doing something that doesn't take away any one's right to life, liberty or property. Pay up.. ;)

  20. Re:BSA learned from the master on Is the BSA "Grace Period" a Scam? · · Score: 1

    I got one of those letters at work and my boss was telling me to get all the docs out and such for every thing.. and I said, "umm.. WHO are these people? Do they have a warrent? What right do they have to audit us? They can BITE ME" and she was like "oh.. yeah I guess I didn't think about that. Who are they?" So I guess it works because people assume that they have to obey them

    And the communists said "You have no reason to fear if you have nothing to hide". It's about principal. I have nothing to hide but if my government wants to search my home they better have a lot of guns or a warrant, because i'm not letting them in unless... it's about principal.

  24. Re:Cartridges on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Really, I thought that the GameCube had a pretty good way to fight piracy.. they just use a non-standard propritary CD. How can you pirate something that you cannot re-create? There surely is a way, but it's not about the ability it's about the ease of it. If it's easy to pirate a lot of people will do it. If it's hard to pirate, a lot less people will.

  25. Re:more ecosystems to destroy !!! on Habitable Planets May Be Common · · Score: 2

    So you are implying that we have destroyed this one? I'm curious... do you walk to work? do you own a car? Do you use electricity? Do you heat your home? Do you cool your home?
    Well I guess that makes you part of the problem then doesn't it?
