Actually, that's not a bad idea. Though it would take a massive computer to keep track of all the atoms and stuff (with the help of a quantum computer maybe?). Perhaps in the future, well see airports converted into giant systems that allow for the teleportation of people and cargo around the world. And as/if technology progresses even further, we could have teleportation pads in our own home and work place.
"George Bush Jr: signed treaty with Taliban in May 2001, remains ally of dictators in Pakistan, Uzbekistan, etc "
Where? Show me proof of this? As for the previous three you mentioned, I agree with you. But hell, Pakistan sees the Taliban as a threat to their country. I guess you haven't been checking the news lately, because a few weeks ago, they've been on the hunt for Zawahiri. If by chance you're saying that because we are allied with Pakistan, we are also allied with Taliban...then no. I do not accept the premise as that would be totally false!
"In the near future, DigiShaman might say: helped them get nukes, or didn't stop them from getting nukes, it's the same damn thing (or equivalent)"
It's not that simple, nor would I state it as such. A mere hyperbole on your part. Let me put it to you this way. If N. Korea were to attack any country with a nuclear weapon, I would NOT blame the Clinton administration for the actions of Kim. But what that administration did was totally irresponsible in their action to even THINK that N. Korea could be trusted with such nuclear technology.
As for my political viewpoints; simply put, I'm in favor of small government and personal responsibility. And I'm not inhumane. If medical help is needed, then everyone has a right to fair treatment. But if you neglect your own health by poor diet or smoking, then tough shit! Go find a 6ft hole and die there. My tax dollars shouldn't be supporting the stupid life habits of people. If I sound harsh, it's because I am. I'm always preaching the gospel of personal responsibility.

Second; a light water reactor still requires enriched uranium. Still, it's more fuel to the fire in the making of a bomb...albit a few more steps away in the process of making plutonium. But then again...your 15 years of knowledge would alread know that huh? Geez, don't be such an arrogant condescending ass! Your starting to sound a lot like John F-ing Kerry (though this is/., I've had worse spoken to me)
Third; RANT ALERT:.. I don't care which party is responsible. The moment any administration tries to negotiate with evil men, is the moment they are marked by me as a traitor of the USA. I will never...EVER bow down and compromise my life and liberty to anyone outside the US. UN be damned, fuck em!
You don't "extract" plutonium. In fact, it's totally man-made stuff. Which of course, requires a reactor of some sort. The only way Korea could have got plutonium that early was through the black market, or made it themselves.
As for backing up my claims, you can read part of it here. http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asiapcf/east/08/29/n korea.us/
Basically, the clinton administration gave N. Korea advanced nuclear technology to build "harmless" light water reactors. But instead, N Korea is using this technology to make plutonium. I'm not saying clinton is to blame for Kims actions. But, that administration was careless to think you can negotiate with Kim.
Hell, we might as well have handed Hitler information of atomic physics in hoping he wouldn't kill more jews. (Yes, N. Korea does have concentration camps). Because, that's exactly what happend with Kim
From what I understand about jets, is that the faster they go, the exponential amount of fuel they will burn. So let's just say jets of the future can go Mach 7. Will those jets be able to sustain those speeds across an Atlantic trip before running out of fuel?
America: A country of fascism under the guise of socialism by its elected officials.
Sad really. And people often call me a nutjob for supporting the libertarian movement. But I guess it's ok to be criticized. The majority of the people have spoken (or not spoken enough as it may be). Civil rights be DAMNED!!!
No, your incorrect. Clinton thought he could tame Kim by offering nuclear power technology in hopes of comming to an agreement. But being the psycho nutball that Kim his, he is now using this technology to make bombs. Had Clinton not made that careless decision, Kim would be at least 10+ year behind in advancement in a nuclear bomb program.
However, the deed has been done. And poking at Clinton all day for this moronic decision isn't going to solve anything. What we have to worry about now is how many terrorists have tactical nukes armed in little Honda Civics around the US just waiting for the OK to drive downtown and detonate!!
If such a horrific scenario were to take place, our government would ID the isotopes from the fallout. If they match what comes from N. Korea, then we will nuke the fuck out of it. And don't think we wont. Being the super power that the US is, we must maintain the precedence that no country can cause us harm and get away without swift justice. Also....China needs to be reassured that as well.
Has anyone thought of an idea to do P2P website hosting? I think it would be an interesting idea to have a slashdot client running on your computer. That way, ever website you visit gets cached to the client. And because it's cached, you also end up hosting the website for other slashdotters happen to have the same client program, yet arn't able to gain access to the original URL.
Neither does China. They have the worst polution problem then we could even DREAM of here in the US. Hell, Shanghai alone makes Houston and LA look like clean air haven. One lung full of the air in Shanghai will burn your pink virgin lungs with PAIN (assuming your not a smoker to begin with).
What's really pisses me off is that the Kyoto contract is nothing more then slowing down the US ecconomy. For some reason, the rest of the world hates out sucess regardless of the fact we work so hard for it. No 1st world country works as hard as the US, NO ONE!!. So as a US citizen, FUCK THE KYOTO CONTRACT...and FUCK YOU (to those in favor of it!
You can thank the Clinton administration for giving N. Korea nuclear technology. And, some other republican administration for helping out Bin Laden in order to fight against the USSR in the 80s. And now, we are giving weapons to Israel...only to find out later they may backstab us.
Damnit, when our elected officials going to learn to stay out of other countries business when it comes to defense. Shit like this scares me!!!
I would agree. Some games that require small text (such as massive multiplayer games) REQUIRE a high res monitor. Your standard NTSC or PAL TV will not cut it. So untill HDTV because as cheap as owning a console, there will always be a PC gaming market simply because of the availability of the PC monitor.
Simple as that. By taking the night shift, you don't have to fight traffic. And because your not spending time on the road, you have less stress going to and from work. Also, saving time allows you to put it to better use. Such as, spending that time with family, friends, taking care of chores, or extra sleep.
Let say there is a period of history where humans colonize other planets and star systems. Then, wars breaks out on those planets which renders them secluded on their own for millions of years. If this happens (on many other planets as well), those human colonies might end up evolving into their own species. Once fragmentation takes root, so might racism on a scale like never before imagined. And from that point on, everlasting wars will break out from the now fracture human race in order for each new species to maintain dominance and self protection.
I know this is a worst case scenario. But just look to biological diversity here on Earth. On one hand, it's good colonize other planets from the protection of the Human race. But whos to say they will remain human on each planet after millions of years thereafter?
...of how government is tied to big busness regardless of political affiliation. In other words, the US system is corrupt. But then again, so is about every other nation on this planet.
Human nature never ceases to amaze me. Even under large orginizations called countries, corruption can and WILL take place.
Your assuming the electric grid will have a user protocol that can be interfaced with. More then likely, the power grid will be hardwired to be redundant...much like the Internet today.
"But also, it does suggest that they are being really really really overly careful about saying that there was or is life on Mars. Almost like they are scared of it."
Of course they're scared of it. They do NOT want to be wrong in their assessment that Mars once had life should they make a public announcement. To make an all-important statement such as that, and find out later to be false would severely damage NASAs credibility. So in that regard, I agree with NASA as to not say anything about life untill undeniable proof is available for peer review among scientists around the world.
I would be very happy too...if I HAD A JOB!! For us geeks, even having a job in the world of IT (even for peanuts) is all that we ask for now. It's what we do..and love.
