Then shut up, start producing them and start selling them. I'll buy them. I'll cover my freaking roof with them. Just STFU about how things are going to be better "someday". I am so freaking tired of these one-off asshole companies announcements about how someone has had a "breakthrough" never to be heard from again. Just shut up about it until you are producing them for sale. And the green companies are the worst.
China gets away with banning what they don't like. Why does the U.S. get fined eleventy billion dollars for doing the same?
Maybe I'll put some Nazi memorabilia on Ebay Germany then fine them eleventy billion dollars when they ban me.

It was 1987. At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.
There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!
He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"
Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."
The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?"
"No, sir," continued Ollie.
"No? And why not?" the senator asked.
"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."
"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.
"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.
"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"
"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.
At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked.
"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered.
"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.
"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."
The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.
The sentiment then is the same as now. These people signed a contract, and their beef is with the contracting agency. This smells of ambulance chasing all the way.

By the way, that senator was Al Gore.

Right.

Making Starbuck a female character ruined it. I would welcome female pilots et al, but revisionism for the sake of political correctness blows.

You can set your account to use filters so that Mac stories do not show up when you visit /.
That's what I did to try and weed out the leftist fascist political stuff here.
