    But come on dude, you have to admit, some asswhole idiots have slowed down science because of their
    egos. Some so called popular ideas do end up being bolony.

    We also know how crap the business end is... its not all pure science, there are idiots out there that
    will kill an idea if it means money for them... To some people after 30 years, its just a job and they like
    the easy money, to the young ones its all cool. Didnt someone once say, that all scientists make their true
    best only discoveries in their 20s, then after that its all down hill, also mainly because they get married, must
    be something to do with all that nagging to do the dishes or the laundry - or it could be all that sex making

    And how does a jail fix things? How is sending him to jail protecting the society?

    How is it reducing our debt/budgets and taxes? It costs more to keep people in jail than
    it costs to go to a hilton hotel.

    You should only send insane loosers who will slit your neck and steal your car to prisons.

    Just let him go, and give him 250hrs community service in IT to help churchs/small orgs and a $1000 fine.

    100 congress men steal and lie and bank roll their hidden companies and what do they get? more terms and more cash.

    Boeing alone would benefit if it paid its own dollars to make anti-g stuff. Imagine planes weighing 90% less, they could then be

    Katrina - we have weather control now, there are patents, and its easily done, Cat5s can be killed to Cat2s, but its not good for the insurance/building industry is it, so much money to be made on rebulding thats why its not stopped, dont believe the govt big wigs, they are all evil.
    healthcare - this can be cheap, just apply mass production/automation just as we have done for food production to health, today its very very inefficient and expensive - we only need on asprin brand, not 20, sell it by the kilo, not tiny packets that waste paper/packets. Have a internet based google type startrek computer doctor. 90% of 'queries' can be automated. Hospital equipment can be cheaper if mass produced like cars - instead of preordered on small scales.
    college costs - again, very very 18th century style, 99% of it can be computerized, if all college professors do is talk, then that can be computerized. Why does it cost $40000/year for a class of 50? How is that money spent? surely the professor doesnt get paid $2m/year. Its all waste. All education should be free, because thats what grows a nation - not indebted students who race to the top just to pay of debts and do anything to aquired more dollars, rather than learning/achieving.

    Reactors use fuel to heat water to drive steam driven turbine generators right.

    How much heat is needed? How many turbines are there? Could we not instead of using uranium, rather
    use photos to heat the water from the sun, fed by giant lenses fed by fibre optics, so we could in effect
    have lots of collectors 10m wide funnel the light down 1inch fibres all heating the water pipes
    which drive the turbines. Sure its only during sunlight, but damn, its 100% free once running. Even during
    cloudy days, but not real real dark days. So what surface area do we need to equal a nuke plant? The surface area
    of the nukeplant perhaps?

  13. Stupid, any programmer nows HD is only $10 more on Toshiba Introduces U.S. First HD DVD Players · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You are a sucker for coporate billion dollar whores mafia fuck faces.

    The power required for HD-DVD is SFA, Sure we might need 4x or 2x more space, but the cpu power or logic power
    is trivial, or $10 at most.

    If a $200 PC from wallmart can play HD MPEG2 files, thats 3x over priced compared to dedicated hardware decoders that are 5 years late.

    Its called, "yes we can do the tech now at $10 more, but we will charge you $900 more because we are greeedy F UCKS."

    We all could do HD quality in 1998, shit man, I bought a 21" monitor for $40 that could easily do 1280 in 1998.

    so being generous for year 2000, the video card/hardware was trivial to do mpeg2 at 1280x768, its DRM that costs 1000000 man hours... or is it LAWYER HOURS!!!!!!!!!!

    God damn lawyers, they should be paid $8hr or outsourced to india at $3/hr, because they are Dumb MOFOS - that never invent any thing, and know nothing, and couldnt save the titanic if it depended on their lives.

  14. 1% loss, requires 2% gain!!!!! on Windows, Linux 25 Year Old "Clunkers"? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If you loose 1% in one 365 day cycle, you require a 2% gain in the next 365 days to stay even of zero gain.
    So you require a 4% gain for every 1% loss to gain the required original 1% gain.
    Therefore if you enjoyed a 5% gain per year with 3% inflation, then you would need a rebound of 10% to offset the double 5% loss just to catch up.

    Lesson: dump - cash out ASAP when you loose 1% of value ragardless and move to cash. Now if every one does that its even worse, but there are optimists out there.

    The only true stable profit making markets over 35yrs + are ENERGY or FOOD or COMMUNICATIONS in smart companies or GOLD!!!

    Regardless since 87 the market has been manipulated officially and there are Regan records to PROOVE IT. (google PPT, ie Plunge Protection Team, otherwise I think they try to hide it)

    ANy way, the whole market is fake, made rich by credit which wont be reported from March 06, the same time that Iran will switch to Euros which might be the same time it will get invaded/bombed.

    Now for us to wait till 2012.

    If the client had the ability to say to the server, do not send me more than X bytes per second, then it would be fine to limit the download to 75% of the left over BW of the video feed, out of the whole pipe.

    Then again, if peoples adsl/cable connections werent fixed in size and could adjust in real time to 2mbs or 10mbs or 25mbs for 30 seconnd slots then things might be better, but the corps like to sell to you one fixed asset of X MBS per calender MONTH. Thats the problem. BILLING!!!!

    Anything could be offered to any one, but billiing is the problem, if I get 25mbs for 300seconds, does that mean I get .05 day / 31 days * $180, ie a real real real real low charge? for the priveledge of having real real real real fast internet but just for 300 seconds? No because theres no profit in it.

    Once capacity outgrows demand, ie 10mbs easy to EVERYONE, then it will be easy.

    What are you gona do? use everyones toilets to mature the land to make the fuel?

    Besides there are theories that there is infinite oil around, due to it being constantly fed up from the mantal.
    Hydrocarbons are common in all asteroids too. Besides, I dont buy oil from plants ending up 10km below the surface
    where those rocks have never seen the sun since 4bya when there was NO LIFE. If anything, all the shit inthe world
    made from animals would produce more oil if 1% of all shit is part oil. Trillions of tonnes of droppings from
    birds/dinos/insects could make more that sink down, but then again water sinks faster than oil.

    I think anyone who settles with RIAA, should demand 100% of the settlement goes to the artists, and NOT ONE CENT

    we will find alternative music sources with zero trace, ie CDR swapping at home. So you may gain the $3000 today, but loose $30000 over 50 years."
