What exactly is it about representative democracy that "scares the hell out of" you?
I see a difference in controlled media and controlling other things. I understand democracy but there are definitely opposing sides here. If you let liberal or conservative views be forced upon us, the other half is not represented any more.
I used to read about people who said this & wondered how someone could do that. Well now I'm one of them as well. I have rabbit ears on my TV (no cable at all) and listen to talk radio or just terrorize slashdot when I'm bored.
Why not just change the law to make media companies to accommodate to customers needs?
That sentence scares the hell out of me. You want laws put in place by politicians that dictate what we want? Every politician has an agenda and bias. I, for one, would never conceed to such a thing. They would pick something even more liberal or conservative than what we already have.
I looked up info on that laser reflectometer. It is still functioning and used after 35 years. I was surprised that they know the moon is moving away from the earth and that the moon has a liquid core (magma?). Interesting. Oh yeah its accurate to within 2 centimeters. I'm still trying to find how they figured it had a liquid core from this.
Well I'll get to hear new music and maybe even buy a CD again finally. When they eventually pick a new song that I actually like I hear it so many times that I want to throw up and never buy it anyway. I used to hear new music from p2p but I don't do that any more....and quit buying music. Satellite radio seems to be the only alternative. Besides...we'll be having to push cow guts in the stereo before long.
First Clearchannel takes over everything & plays the same 20 songs over & over. Now we get another merger that will control what music we get to hear. Thats it. I'm just going to get satellite radio.
We know it has ice. We know we can convert ice to hydrogen. We know we can use hydrogen to fuel further exploration. I think it will also bring about amazing recycling technologies to make it as self sustaining as possible. Just think of the possibilities of battery life and recycling alone that would be funded.
Many companies are starting to do that now. Most computers (even servers) come with DVD ROMs now. I forget which one but one of the more popular server apps comes on DVD only.
If you use it for practice you'll be soreley disappointed when you can't aim with a mouse and find that one returned bullet does more than take a little health away.
He's not a moron. Several movies have been absolutely RUINED in movie form. The Lost World (Jurassic Park 3) followed about 2 sentences in the book and was absolutely horrible. The end to Planet of the Apes comes to mind as well....
I thought it was pretty cool when it was leaking oxygen. The cooling system in cosmonaut Alexander Kaleri's spacesuit malfunctioned during a planned five-and-a-half-hour spacewalk, uhhhh...there was radiation problems.... Just a day after a new crew arrived at the International Space station, the second of four gyroscopes stabilizing the station failed.
Hey it can be pretty cool at times. Thats just a quick google on +ISS +space +Problem;) </sarcasm>
Yeah don't bother asking for "Lost Moon" though. I spent days trying to find that and someone finally knew enough to know they quit printing it with that title & renamed it Apollo 13 after the movie. Maybe the original titled version is worth more....dunno.
Oh man that commercial for winning the chance where that guy walked up to audition then ran for the stargate & was tackled by security had me rolling. He stole my idea!

Because I killed my conscience. I am one now.

Wow I didn't know the A-Team made that much money!

The Russian rover is still positioned as a functional reflectometer and in use.

They did. And they lost. Poor Ross Perot.

Didn't bush make some big statement about a manned mission to Mars?
Why does everyone blame Bush? Since when was he the House appropriations subcommittee?
Wish I had mod points ;) Thats funny right there. I don't care who you are thats funny.

While we're at it let's ban reality shows. That should help the IQ of the country go up about 20%.
Some of them are 20 now ;)

I'm not sure if the commercial is more funny or the moderator that did this....rofl.
