  1. Re:Good for them on China Launches Space Station Laboratory Module · · Score: 1

    I agree 100%.

    For instance. The moon is not important to the USA anymore. Been there done that rite ?

    Lets see what happen when china populates it.

    Good for them.

    <quote><p>"In another universe (Arthur C. Clarke's 2011), it would be on its way to Europa by now.</p></quote>

    <p>Clarke naively believed NASA and the U.S. government when they said that the space race WASN'T just a Cold War pissing contest. He never figured in the possibility that once the U.S. had the capability to plant the Stars and Stripes on the moon that funding would be slashed.</p></quote>

    All the better. Bring on a new pissing contest. Good on China reaching for the stars. It not like we want too.

  3. Re:God dammit on Man Charged in Model Airplane Plot To Bomb Pentagon · · Score: 1

    No it is obliviously only useful as an assassination device.

    With poor control you could maybe hit a crowd. With automated electronics maybe a individual person.

    Doing that at one of this nuts targets could work as a terror tactic.

  4. Re:Did anyone tell him on Man Charged in Model Airplane Plot To Bomb Pentagon · · Score: 1

    Well some remote controlled airplanes are actually pretty big. Here is one with a 12' wing span. It could lift say 7 kg with no real problem. http://www.hobby-lobby.com/telemaster12.htm Maybe cut that to 4kg and use electric power and if you covered it in light grey you no one would see it until impact. but 4 or 7 kg would kill anyone outside near the impact point. You would aim it at an entrance time the impact for say 5:50 pm in the winter so that it is dark, Sure it wouldn't blow up the entire building but it would still suck to die or have your arm or leg blown off.



    Could that model really carry 4-7kg of payload. It seems like a lot of weight on a balsa wood frame ?
  5. Re:Lineage on Australian Aboriginal DNA Suggests 70,000-Year History · · Score: 1

    Our strength is in our ability to cooperate, not in our physical strength. Taking care of tigers and aboriginals is part of that strength. What can we learn from them, how can we cooperate to our mutual benefit? That is the direction evolution favors...



    We do what our ape leaders decide. We don't vote on tigers and rarely on aboriginals (in their favor). We vote on the popular topics and the tigers and aboriginals are feel nice politics.

    Government is a corruption at it apex of success. We all buy in.
  6. Its rubbish on A Few Million Virtual Monkeys Randomly Recreate Shakespeare · · Score: 1

    Until it can analyse the random output and report artworks created. It is nothing more than a password cracker looking for the password Shakespeare created as a really long password..

  7. Re:Lineage on Australian Aboriginal DNA Suggests 70,000-Year History · · Score: 1

    No edit :(

    Well ants get by. Bees have had a lot of press about them disappearing. /shrug.

    We are so far above life here in evolutionary terms. We actively try to save other species at the same time we populate everywhere.

    So it is a case where the strong survive and care for the weak breaking from evolution. So we strive to keep Tigers and we strive to keep Aboriginals.

    Isn't it true the evolution means strong thrive and weak go extinct ?

    Well unemployment benefits keep them going. Evolution seems to have been staved off by our kindness.

    At one point or another humans meet humans on every land on the planet (minus the poles). There was war and the winner got the land.

  11. Digital timers, on Smart Meters Reveal What You're Watching · · Score: 1

    Get half a dozen digital timers and put them on random mode with small devices.

    Better yet invent a device that randomly rotates power usage from small spikes to big appliance spikes.

    It the end it costs the owner money to run to make bad data.

    The real question is to define best days.

    Indeed.

    The rise from nothing to greatness happen's but once. After that expecting some new rise from greatness to uberness doesn't happen. Go figure.

  20. Re:AppleTV or integrated AppleTV? on Apple To Start Making TVs? · · Score: 1

    The thing is TV's are coming with software and Internet on them. In time all TV's will have this.

    Apple need to make a TV to compete. Why buy a smart TV with all the online services built in then buy a AppleTV box for Apple services. Better to buy an Apple TV with everything built in like the smart TV's offer.

    Your are correct.

    We humans have to manipulate cows to be easier on the mind. Or grief

    We breed them to eat them. There ancestors are extinct because they where massive and could kill us.

    It is a bit like dogs. There no longer wolfs and suited to the wild.

    All that seems to matter now is sustainability. Not the cows. If we need cows to survive we breed em on mass. If not they go extinct or become pets.
