1- The Anglo/US juntaists want a permanent military presence in the vast middle of the last remaining superoil fields. If they don't, someone else will, and that someone is China, and it is NOT a joke. This is the mother of all motherlodes. There is not enough oil for 6 billions to all be middle class, in other words, yet "they", the worlds six billions, all want to be. He who controls the black gold controls global reality. The bottom line is tangibles are always worth more than artifical constructs, and oil is "the" tangible asset on the planet, that and clean fresh water, and will be for the 21st century. Hence, a permanent military prsence in perpetuity in the middle east, and in a big dog kinda way. The PNAC docs spell it out completely.
2-Saddam had become uncontrollable when he indicated a move from using PetroDollars for his oil to PetroEuros. They were OK with the status quo of his regime right until that time frame. Losing global "reserve currency" status is THE number #1 event they can not handle or explain away or deal with, so Saddam had to be swatted down then.
3-It's what the globalists do,they love it, it's their gig, they arrange and finance and equip for wars, because they are very profitable, immensely so. they dig the money and the power. They get off on it, literally.
WMD and "he's a dictator" and other nonsense is part of the mass fakeout. They put him INTO power, remember? He was their mideast golden boy for a long time, and they supplied him with chemical arms, helicopter and airplane delivery systems, conventional arms, systematic training for his officers, intel, etc. The same guys did it back then who are in the Junta now, them or their progeny/peers/associates.
I am astounded at this statement: "I can't believe the Democrats were stupid enough to allow [this]," he says. "I can't imagine anyone going to a bank and not getting a receipt. But yet we have our voting machines that way. It strikes me as really odd that machines like that could even exist.?"
Why not, the goons keep beer and gas prices down, and let loose the dogs of dumbed down drooling mediocrity in the form of bread and circuses "entertainment". That's all the herds of mouth breathers REALLY care about, and it's obvious as can be.
Here's the deal as "raw" as I can make it.
The government of the US was hijacked by globalist insiders who are members of the loosely termed "military industrial complex" as coined by president Eisenhower on his retirement speech. This is a fact, time to grow up and deal with it.
They control the top levels of the D and R party through bribery, intimidation, blackmail and extortion. Everything from honeytraps to bags of cash and everything in between, plus the implied threat of ultra violence should one priveleged enough to attain that status seek to go against their wishes and mandates. There is no crime they will not commit, or haven't committed. None.
The two parties cooperate and run the US as a massive profits center, after all the US is the worlds wealthiest nation (so far) and it's worth a LOT OF MONEY to control the government, so they cooperate in this junta, and it IS a sophisticated police state junta.
High level Military officers and the (paramilitary)Police are also in on the deal, is is more common that not for them to finally pension out then immediately become "officers" in various Transnational industries. This is "normal" and an expected part of the payout.
High level intelligence agents/bosses are chronic serial abusers of the law and got their fingers in any number of legal and illegal profitable pies, such as drug and aarms smuggling, bankruptcy court shenanigans, stock manipulations (you think echelon isn't valuasble economic intel?). Google CIA corruption for a starter. The current head cheese Goss is "gross" in that respect, as a "for instance".
High level Governmental Bureaucrats are in on the deal, And lower level governmental employees/normal workers know full well you NEVER "rock the boat" or you will definetly get into trouble, whistleblower statutes not withstanding. I imagine that can be confirmed right here on this thread from any number of "nom de forume" named posters who work for uncle sugar.
The "vote" has been rigged for a LONG time now, google "votescam".
The latest electronic voting methods are just a smoother way to control the vote, and the election process is a joke, the "nominees" are picked in advance and the primaries are a dog and pony show to keep the rubes and rabble amused and faked out that they actually have a "vote" that means anything other than the military industrial complex maintaining control. Nothing that would jeopardise that is allowed to occur.. For instance, several internet-researchable references knew that edwards would be the dems VP pick well in advance,and publically predicted it, because it followed a pattern,i.e; those who get the sacred invites and blessings to the bilderberger conferences get the election nod. The shrub attended as well this past year when he went to coincidentlly "visit the pope" during the same exact time that the conference was being held reasonable close by. He got his next set of marching orders then. This happened and is again, googleable. And kerry got picked because out of the pack, he was the other skull and bonesman, and do not neglect that factoid in its importance and it is part of this mans "wonderment" about why the "dems aren't pushing it hard". It's because it was rigged so that the dem K guy wouyld take a fall after a "close and valiant and hotly contested election", again, part of the dog and pony show..He took a dive on purpose. The grassroots got suckered again. The el
...and even beyond credit cards. There's e-gold, Norfeds, even faxing a check direct. CCs just cost you money, any way you look at it. It's *handy* to have a CC vendor,and as you can see it can also cause a problem, but it's also handy to store your loot and work with your loot in something besides federal reserve note digits being handled by the CC company loan sharks that isn't dropping daily in worth. In case you ain't seen it, the US funny money printing press buck is sinking pretty severely now because the rest of the planet has noticed they don't really have to filter their reality through it any longer, it's become redundant and expensive.
I know this is tangentially off the direct question, but just wanted to point out there are alternatives, and it doesn't hurt to offer them to your customers, and it's easy enough to do as well.
next time you have to go through an explanation, record it. Make a label for the entry. Accumulate different topics until you have a nice fat cd full of subjects.. Use labels like "AAAk! no password" and "browser is slow/doesn't work" "where's my email?" "how do I..." whatever. Along those lines, with the appropriate response. Burn a lot of CDs with the info, then just smile, hand one over to the latest customer, say "it's on there, first cd is free,you lose it, after that it's ten bucks". Or alternate, run it on the network internally with a pointer to it.
The CD version may not relieve the stress, but at least it will cover beer and aspirin money.....
IMO, right where it starts. It's just a bad idea to go there at all. Just because you can is not a reason you should in all circumstances. This is one of them.
...IF I had to pick one, I guess I like the worldcar LUV the most, even though performance claims are wimpy. Looks normal & pure electric. Cage a plugin at work for it, have some dedicated solar panels for it at home. With that said, make it bigger, a couple/three feet longer say, with a larger motor and more batteries, and have the batteries be "maintenance friendly", not "maintenance free". And the roof of the car itself could be a few panels just "because". Lead acid batts you can add distilled water to once in awhile are a lot more economical and functional. It would fit, people are used to periodic "oil change", so periodic "battery top-off" isn't that hard to grok. They even make "hydrocaps" for that purpose, helps to keep the batteries full.
... or "make money"? There's a difference. If it was nationalised and set to just cover cost as a general benefit to society in coordination with University research labs, etc, you would still get paid, just the company wouldn't be expected to pay shareholders and the get the ceos millions, etc. also.
Having drugs and medical care costs society any way you look at it. It is X + Y = Z total cost. If the only criteria is profit, then it *double* costs society. We pay once for lost productivity and care and in terms of human misery,that is X then we pay again on top of that for the pharmcos profits, which is Y, giving us the Z total cost.. Now If the only criteria was *better health care for everyone* the X part and skip the Y part it would only partially cost society. We could even spend more on R&D than we do now, emply even more scientists and techs and health care providers, and it would still be cheaper over all, taken as a percentage of GNP compared to how it is now. And to go with that the emphasis should be firmly rearranged to better reflect prevention and cures, and in that order, not after the fact symptom treatments. And if it was arranged that way, with the advances being publiclly held, there would be no need for patents, in fact patents would be counter productive to the effort. You have to choose,one or the other, do you want better health care over all, generally speaking, or more money for a select few with a correspondingly slower development and universal adoption cycle?
You can see it in software now, which model is being developed faster and has a wider range of adoption and universal usefullness? Closed source propietary or open source and free?
Surely someone here has a recent vintage color laser printer and a magnifying glass. Can you actually see the dots? Are there a lot on the page, any discernible pattern?
they *might* if it was as easy as mashing a big glowing "update to linux" button right on the firefox toolbar. And technically there's nothing stopping them AFAIK. It would be a bandwith hog and they'd have to have several pages of "are you sure" disclaimers most likely, but it *could* be done I think. I don't know but I'll throw it out anyway for discussion and razzing purposes, because I ain't shy.
Saving peoples data though might be the most difficult coding task to overcome. Something like "before you start, move all personal data you want to keep to this directory and name it such and such" whatever scheme.
I'd like to see it happen though, at least a beta effort.
Great! I hope they move it lock stock and barrel out of the United States to some nation that has some vision and some nads. Like Brazil perhaps. I also hope that software production gets moved to places without IP patents. I hope this gets raked through the news up and down sideways to show the US people what complete ridiculous incompetent morons they have that they keep voting for,cycle after cycle as they get brainwashed into "not wasting their votes" and what has really happened to the government. The US federal government is primarily concerned with imperialist warfare, protecting the profits of entrenched monopolies and the 1% uber millionaire/billionaire class, and perpetuating and expanding their own bloated governmental bureaucracy. The more they do things like this, the quicker we might see honest constructive change, even if it gets ugly for awhile.
..for the future anyway. This problem has been around a long time, just maybe there should be a regulation that plastic pipe buried underground have some ferrous powder mixed into the plastic so that any normal metal detector could find it. Maybe they thought of that though, and the metal would weaken the plastic though, because it might rust and cause microscopic weepy leaks and leech into the water into the house. I don't know, perhaps an additional coating on the inside might fix that potential problem. So an alternative, just have some cheap wire run with it, along side it in the trench.
maybe it's because in a company that size, employees come and go all the time. Once a month is another small layer of security to try and keep disgruntled former employees out of the intranet perhaps. Just guessing.
the difference might be in the difference between the numbers in a straight ticket and a split ticket. The statement could still be true if enough people voted split ticket.
How are they going to recount diebold machines? And do the challenges include the central tabulators, and are there any plans to demand a code examination and audit from an independent party not connected to the state or diebold? I would think the latter issue is prime for a case to go all the way to the supremes. It's a public trust, so therefore the public should be able to examie it. I have been first in line at the polling station and got to examine the empty wooden box for a paper vote election. this isn't possible with computer code. I was seriously hoping (didn't happen) I'd get to be an official this year, I was going to refuse to verify anything out of our diebold machines at the end of the day and try to force it into court. I protested last election and zero happened, they just brushed me off. I did get forwarded to a diebold employee who got pretty exercised when I told him that I know and he knows and any geek knows that the way it is set up now is insecure and wide open to pre election or post election tampering and fraud. He just sputtered around indignant for a bit. The poor lady poll official was all confused, she thought along the lines of computers=infallible and default "ethical". I asked her if she would buy a new truck with the hood welded shut. That made her think for a second but she went on to still defend "the computer".
thank you, I'll get "it" eventually. It's the easy things that get ya.... see, I did it correctly that time.
We need some restructuring in grammar. We shouldn't need symbols outside of the basic letters. We shouldn't need or use identical sounding words that are spelled differently because they mean something different-they should be completely separate words. Perhaps we need some more letters and sounds? Why 26? Inertia? Good enough for the Romans?
I think the point is moot, 25 years from now people will speak a variation of text messaging perhaps, shorthand speak. In fact I was reading awhile back (here I think) that cursive writing is becoming a lost art. I know mine is more an exercise for archaeologists to decipher, but still...
-- the rates are not necessarily low, it's a huge variable, it can be from a lot, to very little, but the bottom line is, if it's in your crop they claim it's *theirs* no matter how it got there.
-- plants haven't been patented for hundreds of thousands of years
-- "easily removed" is simply.. well.. laughable. Junk science. It's ludicrous. If what you claim is true,please, go up to canuckistan and make you an easy billion or more "easily removing" canola superweed for folks, you should be able to clean up with your superior skills and advanced agronomy techniques.
-- the cost of even testing is huge, and guess who pays it
-- to use the word "stealing" referring to someone who's crop got infected is blaming the victim, it's like if someone chucked a baseball through your window, you had to pay for the window, and they guy who threw it calls you a thief for stealing his baseball and not giving it back, and the way this plant IP law works it's exactly like that. It is pure nuts, unfair, stupid, misguided, harmful, and does not promote the useful arts and sciences, it promotes the establishment of a small handful of international corporations owning the planets food supply.
This action by the US government and it's appointed stooge puppets in iraq is heinous and proves what utter corrupt bastards they are, along with the companies pushing this scheme.
Once again we have proven we have the best government big corporate money can buy. You can approve of their actions, I disapprove, so we'll leave it at that.
It will be here soon, too. Pollen is airborne. Eventually you won't be able to save your own seed, and they have proven they can control the law and court system to the extent that if the pollen infects your crops, you "stole" their "patented" IP. It's why those of us who have been against this have been speaking up about it. Their plant "IP" law is viral, and you can't get away from it once it's released into the wild to grow. Google starlink corn, canola, superweed for starters.
You cannot both "support it" and think you or anyone else can have any practical alternative. Joe farmer down the street has IP protected corn, you don't, next year the seed you save from your own crop that had nothing to do with the patented stuff will have a certain percentage of "their" genetic material in it. You lose. Every crop you try to grow will become more infected. The wind and the law won't allow it. It's only a matter of time now before global food monopolies. And in iraq you can see they aren't even waiting for it to spread semi naturally, they are just mandating it, showing exactly where they have always been coming from, exactly like we have warned against and been told it was "tinfoil hat" or "luddism". Now here, you see the proof, what they intend for not only iraq, but the planet, as much as they can.
interesting pics, thanks. That's just a nasty cool looking little engine, isn't it?
Tell ya WHUT though, along this whole thread on "this is the most advanced evar" and stuff, I wonder when they will finally admit to such things as aurora and brilliant buzzard and release some official pics and specs? I mean, the 117 and b2 are old hat now, and the sr 71 is so old it is medium retired, you can't tell me they don't have a few other models developed already.... smoke=fire usually
no idea running on windows, but on linux with the mozilla suite browser they have those sort of options. You can pick your cache folder, manage images, manage cookies, etc. If you hit a link that starts to download something (an e-vile.exe for example), it pops up a dialog and asks you want to do with it. There are a ton of other options available that aren't apparent on the menu either. An easy one is up in the address bar, type
...they are projecting a first stage rocket to get up to hyper ludicrous speed,that falls off, then the scramjet kicks in and carries the payload to the edge of space where it runs out of O2, then back to a final stage pure rocket for the last push into orbit or whatever. Yes, it would still save a lot of weight, that middle stage part normally needs tons of liquid oxygen to be carried along with it (or an oxidiser of some sort). Conceivably it could drop the weight to cost ratios way way down.

There are three primary reasons we invaded Iraq.
1- The Anglo/US juntaists want a permanent military presence in the vast middle of the last remaining superoil fields. If they don't, someone else will, and that someone is China, and it is NOT a joke. This is the mother of all motherlodes. There is not enough oil for 6 billions to all be middle class, in other words, yet "they", the worlds six billions, all want to be. He who controls the black gold controls global reality. The bottom line is tangibles are always worth more than artifical constructs, and oil is "the" tangible asset on the planet, that and clean fresh water, and will be for the 21st century. Hence, a permanent military prsence in perpetuity in the middle east, and in a big dog kinda way. The PNAC docs spell it out completely.
2-Saddam had become uncontrollable when he indicated a move from using PetroDollars for his oil to PetroEuros. They were OK with the status quo of his regime right until that time frame. Losing global "reserve currency" status is THE number #1 event they can not handle or explain away or deal with, so Saddam had to be swatted down then.
3-It's what the globalists do,they love it, it's their gig, they arrange and finance and equip for wars, because they are very profitable, immensely so. they dig the money and the power. They get off on it, literally.
WMD and "he's a dictator" and other nonsense is part of the mass fakeout. They put him INTO power, remember? He was their mideast golden boy for a long time, and they supplied him with chemical arms, helicopter and airplane delivery systems, conventional arms, systematic training for his officers, intel, etc. The same guys did it back then who are in the Junta now, them or their progeny/peers/associates.
Just wanted to say that we think similarly on this issue.
I am astounded at this statement: "I can't believe the Democrats were stupid enough to allow [this]," he says. "I can't imagine anyone going to a bank and not getting a receipt. But yet we have our voting machines that way. It strikes me as really odd that machines like that could even exist.?"
Why not, the goons keep beer and gas prices down, and let loose the dogs of dumbed down drooling mediocrity in the form of bread and circuses "entertainment". That's all the herds of mouth breathers REALLY care about, and it's obvious as can be.
Here's the deal as "raw" as I can make it.

you really could automate it like that. "If you have noticed your browser won't browse, press one" "Lost your password..press two" and etc
I don't know what software does that, but it exists, those sorts of automated responses are quite common when you call into places.
next time you have to go through an explanation, record it. Make a label for the entry. Accumulate different topics until you have a nice fat cd full of subjects..

-- plants haven't been patented for hundreds of thousands of years
-- "easily removed" is simply
-- the cost of even testing is huge, and guess who pays it
-- to use the word "stealing" referring to someone who's crop got infected is blaming the victim, it's like if someone chucked a baseball through your window, you had to pay for the window, and they guy who threw it calls you a thief for stealing his baseball and not giving it back, and the way this plant IP law works it's exactly like that. It is pure nuts, unfair, stupid, misguided, harmful, and does not promote the useful arts and sciences, it promotes the establishment of a small handful of international corporations owning the planets food supply.
This action by the US government and it's appointed stooge puppets in iraq is heinous and proves what utter corrupt bastards they are, along with the companies pushing this scheme.
Once again we have proven we have the best government big corporate money can buy. You can approve of their actions, I disapprove, so we'll leave it at that.
It will be here soon, too. Pollen is airborne. Eventually you won't be able to save your own seed, and they have proven they can control the law and court system to the extent that if the pollen infects your crops, you "stole" their "patented" IP. It's why those of us who have been against this have been speaking up about it. Their plant "IP" law is viral, and you can't get away from it once it's released into the wild to grow. Google starlink corn, canola, superweed for starters.
You cannot both "support it" and think you or anyone else can have any practical alternative. Joe farmer down the street has IP protected corn, you don't, next year the seed you save from your own crop that had nothing to do with the patented stuff will have a certain percentage of "their" genetic material in it. You lose. Every crop you try to grow will become more infected. The wind and the law won't allow it. It's only a matter of time now before global food monopolies. And in iraq you can see they aren't even waiting for it to spread semi naturally, they are just mandating it, showing exactly where they have always been coming from, exactly like we have warned against and been told it was "tinfoil hat" or "luddism". Now here, you see the proof, what they intend for not only iraq, but the planet, as much as they can.
interesting pics, thanks. That's just a nasty cool looking little engine, isn't it?
Tell ya WHUT though, along this whole thread on "this is the most advanced evar" and stuff, I wonder when they will finally admit to such things as aurora and brilliant buzzard and release some official pics and specs? I mean, the 117 and b2 are old hat now, and the sr 71 is so old it is medium retired, you can't tell me they don't have a few other models developed already.... smoke=fire usually
no idea running on windows, but on linux with the mozilla suite browser they have those sort of options. You can pick your cache folder, manage images, manage cookies, etc. If you hit a link that starts to download something (an e-vile .exe for example), it pops up a dialog and asks you want to do with it. There are a ton of other options available that aren't apparent on the menu either. An easy one is up in the address bar, type
about:config --then hit enter
lotsa stuff there
's'more for ya
command line arguments

--like I said, I'm neither a windows nor a FF guy, I use linux and the moz suite, but perhaps there's something there you can use
...they are projecting a first stage rocket to get up to hyper ludicrous speed,that falls off, then the scramjet kicks in and carries the payload to the edge of space where it runs out of O2, then back to a final stage pure rocket for the last push into orbit or whatever. Yes, it would still save a lot of weight, that middle stage part normally needs tons of liquid oxygen to be carried along with it (or an oxidiser of some sort). Conceivably it could drop the weight to cost ratios way way down.
