  8. Hey Google, there's no TV worth searching for on Google TV Announced With Intel, Sony, and Logitech · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Google stated today that too many people are having trouble deciding what to watch. Wrong.

    I noticed I'm sleeping a lot better when I turn down all the other background lights other than the computer and desk lamp an hour before I'm gonna go to bed.

  14. IBM had some delusions like Apple once on The Genius In Apple's Vertical Platform · · Score: 1

    IBM thought they were going to recreate the whole personal computer industry "the right way."

    Even has a pretty sweet new operating system called OS 2. They got control freaky.

    How did work out for IBM? And they were the old Big Blue Monster when it happened to them.

    Don't piss off the developers that make your software. Windows and Linux are still around while better products (OS/2, Amiga, BeOS) are gone because no barrier to developers entering the market, and developers can use the tools they want.

    NO! Not one has. Not one corporation has stood behind a reactor it built through decommissioning. They spin off the property the reactor sits on to a subsidiary, and let spun off subsidiary go bankrupt.

    The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors by Kersey Graves

    "Known to be a masterpiece of freethought literature, The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors has been out of print but sought after for many years. A small part of it was reprinted in The Book Your Church Doesn't Want You to Read in 1994, thereby causing renewed interest. Many people are unaware that before Christianity there were 15 other religions that also had a savior who died for their sins, then arose from the dead. Graves gives all the details inside, plus much more found in common like the immaculate conception of the gods, virgin born gods, magi, shepherds and angels who visit the infant saviors, the birthday of the gods being December 25th, plus an explanation as to how Jesus began to be worshipped as a God..."

  23. Re:No shit, Sherlock. on Beliefs Conform To Cultural Identities · · Score: 1

    Watch c6gunner prove my point

    This...

    "whacked-out conspiracy nut who basically just pulled them out of his ass" ...is logical fallacy called an ad hominem argument. You attack me with insults, and you never address the statement I made.

    Police broadcasts recordings can be analyzed sound experts. There's a sub-discipline of physics which studies sound. The police recordings of the broadcasts coming from the motorcycles around the motorcade in Dealy Plaza can be analyzed just like any recording can be analyzed for the sounds of gunshots. There were sounds of more than 3 gunshots in those Dallas police broadcast recording.

    Watch a Christian complete phase out and stop processing info when you point out the the many similarities between Jesus and many other similar shepherd gods in other cultures of that same region of the Eastern Med.

    Watch a so-called science-focus skeptic phase out the same way when you point out that a recording of Dallas police broadcast has scientifically proven there were more than 3 shots fired in Dealey Plaza.
