  1. Re:The court jester on Vladimir Putin Signs Sweeping Internet-Censorship Bills (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Because the truth is absolute when understood objectively with facts. And therein lay the problem. To maintain such foundational values prevents those seeking power from usurping power in an immoral and misbegotten manner. So, reality is warped and distorted to fog objectivity in what otherwise would be an accepted culture of morality and truth. Sadly, the media that can also be a force for good and also be twisted and abused as a same instrument for evil (propaganda).

    Essentially the media is a hammer. By itself it does nothing. But depending on who holds it, it can build or destroy.

  2. Truth be told, your media content should be backed up on your end. If it's text, back it up to TXT or DOC file. Whatever. Don't rely on free web services to retain your data for you.

    You get exactly what you pay for. You pay nothing, you should expect nothing. Them the cold facts of life!

    Light scatters in all directions (for the most part) from the origin of a single point of event. So if it happened 13 billions year ago, how is it still observable? How is it the light is still around? It should have came and went log ago. I just can't wrap my head around the idea of a photon lingering about and imparting its energy back on Earth TODAY.

    No kidding. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've got a beast of a workstation (1070) that I use at one location (10mbit upload), and a really old machine at home with a 1050 card (100mbit down).

    So yeah, I could benefit from slinging the game experience rendered on the better machine to at home. Now, I don't expect to play any FPS games due to latency, but RPGs and whatnot very doable. Essentially, the "not twitch" type.

    The universe will stop, and reverse time causing the everything to collapse into a singularity again. That means as the universe goes backwards, the dead will rise from the grave, humanity will eat excrement, un-chew food, and effectively vomit whole pieces of good. Oh, and you will reverse ageing until your a baby and get sucked up by a vagina.

    Fun times.

    Right, totally missed the German flag next to your name *rolls eyes*.

    Axis powers are without question a motley crew. Once their shared interests are achieved, they'll turn on each-other. India truth be told the only elephant in the room holding the peace as a counter force to both Russia and China. They wouldn't hesitate to make them take another spin at the wheel of life in an all out exchange.

    Putin is a soulless sociopath, so we agree here. He needs to go. Still, you suffer TDS. It's bad mojo.

  8. It's almost as if their core beliefs don't include the welfare of their governed citizens.

    There's no "almost" about it, they DON'T. In fact, the global elite honestly thing in order to maintain their standard of living, the vast majority of humanity needs to be purged and replaced with AI/Robotics. The human disconnect is so vast, it won't end well for anyone truth be told.

    It's neo-feudalism. That's what the wealthy globalist elite seem themselves as; a small group of people with a god-given birthright to educate the plebs as to who really should be in control. In addition, that "freedom" and "democracy" is just a tempest in a teapot, but the teapot you shall remain.

    Yeah, well, a whole fuck-load of people just got "woke" and realized there's a whole universe outside that teapot!

  10. So, in theory, we should be able to hear a super nova, or rather long after it occurred once the pressure wave reaches the Earth's upper atmosphere. Amplitude would be very low, so beyond human hearing. In fact, I doubt it would be detectable along with the other naturally occurring earthquake events.

    Actually, the axis powers are Russia, China, Iran, and Pakistan. N.Korea is really just a vassal state of China. Peace with N.Korea will only occur with the Chinese undergoes a revolution; and that wont happen. Well, not unless WW3 breaks out and every major global city gets nuked. In the aftermath, citizens will turn on each-other. At least in America, guess which group has the guns? Yeah, don't piss off the rednecks.

  14. It's far more than meddling in the US election. Russia is trying to destabilize the west. Trump, brexit, the far right funded by them in France and Italy and Germany.

    Nuke me from orbit if you like, but the dirty little secret is that Russia has NOTHING to do with the blow-back that is anti-immigration from shit-hole nations into the West. FACT!

    In an age of sensors packed in smart phone and cheaply obtained in bulk, I'm thinking it would do Japan good to scan just about everything purchase along the food-chain before it hits the market shelves. Anything deemed too high gets bumped off the line.

  16. It was WW2 that pulled out out of the Great Depression by virtue being the only western super power to not get annihilated! It's easy to recover when you're banking on massive exports overseas to rebuild nations coupled with the disparity in wealth. Had the Internet and mass cheap international transportation been around then, globalism would have CRUSHED us!

    Meng Wanzhou than what has been previously reported. Known in the country as "Princess Meng," her grandfather, who was vice governor of China’s largest province, was a close friend to Chairman Mao during the Chinese Civil War. The New York Post calls her "Communist royalty." And currently, she is being groomed to succeed her dad, Ren Zhengfei, as chairman of Huawei. Don't forget that the company is the second largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, and the global leader in networking equipment.

    But there is more. The Post article calls Huawei a "spy agency" for the Communist party and reaches this conclusion by noting that the Communist party has called for all companies in the country to join forces to gather information. Article 7 of China’s National Intelligence Law states that "All organizations and citizens must support, assist with, and collaborate in national intelligence work, and guard the national intelligence work secrets they are privy to."
