  3. Re:"Found" galaxies on Hubble Builds 3D Dark Matter Map · · Score: 1

    As was stated in that artical itself, and many times in the comments, that had no effect on the theory of dark matter. What they found were galaxies they knew had to be there, but they couldn't see. We found a 10 fold increase in the number of visible galaxies. This doesn't answer anything about Dark Matter, where the gravitational behaivor of galaxies doesn't seem to match the visible mass they contain. All we did was find more examples to review for the theory of Dark Matter, not dark matter itself.

    I will support this legistation, as soon as we can agree to stop any and all trade with China on Human Rights Violations full-stop, because human rights violations are vastly more important then cyber crime. Untill that happends, shut your yap.

  5. Re:and this will accomplish what? on ACLU Sues Over Legality of "Targeted Killing" By Drones · · Score: 1

    Since when was it against the law to travel outside the US? The problem with your argument is where do you draw the line? First its "You cant travel to the warzone citizen!" then its "You cant travel to the non-preapproved vacation spot, citizen!" then its "you cant leave the US, citizen!" and eventually you'll end up at "Its past 5:45PM local time, you cant leave your house, citizen!"

    We're not dealing with a "Guy from jersy picks up an AK, flys to Afganistan, and opens fire on a checkpoint" situation. This is a "A guy from jersy has been spotted in Afganistan, and we think he's with the enemy" situation. What if we're wrong? What if he is there for some actual reason? should we be wary of the guy? Hell yes! should we drop a bomb on the house he's in? err...no?

  15. Re:Anthropomorphic Prinicple suggests that ... on The LHC, Black Holes, and the Law · · Score: 1

    But this assumes much. Who's to say the development of this, or some other device, doesn't develops into a technology beyond our ability to intercept it? Say, instant reliable communication over infinate distance. If such a thing were discovered by the LHC, or any such experiment, that was shown to be cheap, effective, and long lasting, I can more or less guarentee we'd stop broadcasting radio waves overnight. You asume with such a theory that the only way to achieve such an outcome (We cant see you) is that you're no longer there. I have to disagree with this.

  16. Re:I must be missing something here on "Vista Capable" Lawsuit Is Now a Class Action · · Score: 1

    you buy a car thats labled as "road capable" from a car dealer. You start driving said car on roads and any incline over 2 degrees stalls the underpowered engin to a halt within a few feet. You take the car back to complain and they specify in the fine print "road capable" means they've tested the car on roads, and it does drive on them, but they only tested roads that were a 45 degree decline and were perfectly straight. The argument that the car can run on some roads (the ones they tested) but most people would look at and assume "road capable" would mean anything labled as a 'road'. Its inapproprate to assume most people would even be aware of the gradients of incline on local roads, as all other cars that have been sold in the past could run on pretty much any paved road in exsistance, granted some better then others but atleast they could run.
