    Well, better them spending money on a space industrial complex that delivers us the stars than on a war industrial complex that delivers us extinction. Now the big rush to see who will be the first to lay the foundations for a permanent moon base.

  2. It is not the ism, it is the psychopaths who plot and scheme to gain control of the ism. Can be quite readily stopped, simply introduce testing for psychopathy and act accordingly and the majority of problems will stop, as easy as that. Doesn't ,matter what you create a psychopath will seek to gain control of it and run it to feed their own greed, ego and lusts through to collapse of the ism, every single time, the ism lasts until a psychopath gains control of it.

    You got to be totally delusional, disrupt the US political system, it needs to be fucking disrupted it is entirely corrupt. It is so crooked, any disruption immediately makes it more honest than it currently is. Right now, the rest of the world is content to allow the US to SELF DESTRUCT as long as it leaves the rest of the world alone in the process and there is stops. Maybe just maybe a few countries are using their espionage services to disrupt the corruption by exposing the crimes in the US that the US government routinely ignores, especially high level crimes.

    When you disrupt corruption, you do not make it worse, you just reduce it's extent, so hopefully everyone across the globe will work hard at disrupting entirely corrupt US politics, so that it is less corrupt (which would as it fucking turns out, means disrupting the extremely negative, corrupt and very criminal influence of the UK government, the Israeli government and the Saudi government and their disruption of any attempts to make US elections actually democratic and start prosecuting high level corruption).

    It means the US is announcing to the world people it does not want to arrest because now they know never to go to a country with extradition treaties with the US. Now why is it doing this, I don't fucking know, for publicly, the FBI announcing how dumb they are, perhaps they are trying to create an cover for a US spy in Iran, pretend to want to arrest because clearly they do not by announcing it when the person is question is in a country without extradition treaties with the US.

    I am surprised a lot of other countries are not also announcing the indictment of US espionage agents, and their quislings, perhaps because it is a profoundly stupid waste of time.

    So who else will the US government announce to the world, they do not wish to arrest, hell, the issued arrest warrants to Russian marketing trolls and then sanctioned them, not the Eiger Sanction variety by banning them from entering the US where the US wanted them to go so they can arrest them, this, does not seem to make much sense, unless the knew the case was entirely bullshit and wanted it to never touch the courts, just the corporate main stream rags.

    Surprise, surprise, surprise, Google shifts it's servers to the country that lets respects the privacy of it's citizens, let alone other countries citizens.

    I am smelling the failure of Google, the stench is getting stronger and stronger, now just a distant disturbing waft on the breeze, but it smells, really, really bad and is getting worse.

  6. I have adapted, I always check audio and subtitles before hitting play. As for storing my choice on that particular bit of content, they must have recorded stopping making choice and cancel watching it.

    Most canned content is too boring to watch on it's own and I have to have the internet going at the same time, so canned content that requires interaction is just annoying and interrupts browsing the net or gaming. They can try making better content but some how I don't see that happening any time soon. Though netflix seems pretty good at making horror content but really lousy at science fiction, this whole liberal arts types are too smart to hire scientist consultants is wearing pretty thin.

  7. Mate, language what was, was and what is, is and install reflects change in use of nomenclature. A digital install, is the accepted terminology and has been so for quite some time, you need to get your head out last millenniums English and catch up with what ever it is today in which locale it is. Funnily enough a digital install, is never ending and needs to be continually updated, debugged, maintained, you never actually finish installing it but most continue to do so, until you finally replace it. Geeks no longer bite the heads of chickens just anal retentive nerds (both terms were exceedingly derogatory, we changed it, actively purposefully changed it).

  9. I fully support rehabilitation over punishment but then technically, all sentences should be minimum sentences and if you have not rehabilitated and show now signs of it, you should never be let go. So prison more studio apartments because we aren't total arseholes but you never get set free.

    It is not learning your lesson, how to fake rehabilitation for early release, it is hard line full psychological evaluation to ensure very, very low rates of recidivism. In fact correctional services officers should face evaluation and possible penalty for releasing a person who latter commits a crime and certainly the government should pay for the harm caused by a citizen released who was not rehabilitated.

    I fully support a 100% rehabilitative system, with all that it implies and that correctional facilities, staffed by professional college degree correctional services officers and run by trained psychiatrists, who properly medically seek to rehabilitate their patients unstable failed citizens and not treat them like prisoners to be punished and turned into worse criminals.

  10. Do you know what is most successful in female reproduction, pretty but stupid, just look around you and it is even celebrated. Who hates it the most, jealous men who don't get an easy ride or is that a hard ride or fugly women who can't get the free hard ride and have to work and compete with men and struggle and hence want to change the rules. Punish pretty but stupid women and drive them into menial work where the fugly can dominate them and make it easier to compete against men by downgrading the competitiveness of men, seemingly choosing to drive them from all elements of higher education. All male technical colleges are going to become a thing again.

    Do you know why politics have become so snipy, hateful and destructive, people wanting to destroy people, basically, suck it up but it is the reality, women in politics. Not normie women, but the narcissistic bitches, oh yeah, the counterpart to the male psychopaths already there. Hence the growing sniping and attacks seeking to destroy people, typical female bitchiness and make no mistake, fucking oestrogen out of control, just as bad as testosterone out of control and that can occur most humorously in either gender, bitchy men and real psycho women.

    Sometimes those empty beliefs about what is going on seem just so silly and driven by empty narcissism.

  11. Re:It's not ethical to live in the US at all on Ask Slashdot: Is It Ethical To Purchase Electronics Products Made In China? · · Score: 1

    Ethics in personal purchases are up to the individual based upon the many choices available at the time relating to honesty, true product worth, reliability, country of origin. Why buy from a local company if all the local companies bullshit their customers, buy foriegn from where ever. Same with rip off pricing, government protected.

    Ethics, well, when it comes to essential infrastructure, well that is high level survival of the society ethics. Should all infrastructure elements be locally produced in preference to be extorted by a foreign nation, with regards to supply, control and interference, of course.

    So take Huawei, should countries ban Huawei from digital infrastructure, sure if there is a local producer, they should logically favour them in terms of control and ability to audit production. Along the same lines countries should probably extort local production of infrastructure products from Huawei ie accept Huawei products made in your own country, of course. Would I buy Huawei if it was made in Australia and expect the Australian government to give them preference in that regard, sure, it would be the sane decision. Where it is made does count but USA vs China, from a no USA basis, why would I give a fuck, probably the USA full of bullshit about the quality of the product and out of China probably not that reliable and given a preference probably just buy Made In Japan or made in Australia for a range of other products. If Huawei had a production facility in Australia I would give them preference, all other things being equal, for sure and I would expect the government to do the same, depending upon who else had production facilities in Australia or the depth of economic times with certain partners and giving them preference, for example Japan.

    Too much traffic, easy fix, do it without spending any tax money, just strict regulation, enforcement and major penalties. How to reduce traffic, easy require all major new high rise construction to have the first series of floors as retail and the next series of floors as commercial and then a bunch of floors as residential. All new high rise construction and effectively distribute the flow of people, even live work and play in the one building. This forced through the entire city a 3D planned city. Retail with the most traffic for the first five floors and the commercial with reduced traffic the next five floor and then ten floors of residential, least traffic, as an example in terms of number of floors but the transition should be of similar height throughout in terms of noise transmissions, exposure and privacy and foot traffic flows in terms of elevated walkways from structure to structure, above street level traffic.

  13. Teaching journalists to code was taking the piss for them telling coal miners, learn how to code. Most of those so called journalists, if they could have learned how to code, they would have learned how to code, they ain't THAT stupid but yeah, some people, well, lets be fucking honest, most people simply can not learn how to code in any meaningful commercially competitive productive manner, not a hope, simply the way it is.

    No matter the effort at training in anything, in commercially competitive terms, some and an many cases, many will simply fail to compete and be unemployable in the work they were claimed to have be trained in and in truth extremely unlikely to complete the training.

    They are simply doing disposable workers, no need for them in this quarter so fire them and hire new cheaper workers for 3 quarter, 2 quarters from now and fire them when not needed. Work cheap for blizzard, you suckers, get out and get out as soon as possible, EA Blizzard, the disposable workforce and we are disposable customers and you know what EA Blizzard are just as disposable for us. Down they go, another company will take up that commercial space, probably a better company, until the psycho take it over and it collapses and the cycle continues.

  14. Well, look at is this way, if you provide a free news subscription and make you money in another way, 50% of nuthin is nuthin. Personally outside of specialised news, general news is simply not worth subscribing too in terms of paying for it. Paying is a real lock in, they own your news now, you are bound to watch what you are paying for, rather than what you do not and will you choose to believe what you pay for or will you reason out something else based upon a broad spread of news.

    How news of public importance is funded is a matter of great importance and perhaps it is time to look at it in a more sound, reasonable and realistic manner. Clearly the major News Empire in the Western Liberal space, are entirely corrupt in their censorship of real news and the delivery of empty palp and corporate propaganda parading as news, selling purposefully overpriced commercials, everyone knows what they are really paying and what is really being sold with those commercials and it aint the news, it is corporate marketing pretending to be news and that is what the advertising are paying for.

    Let's be blunt, that model has well and truly reached it's used by date, now publicly rotten with a clear stench, well past it's use by date and desperately trying to extend it's existence in a space where it no longer should exist. Apple's message perhaps, provide it free, don't expect to lie to people for a profit, kind of funny. Apple are not charging 50%, technically they are applying a 100% penalty for trying to sell corporate propaganda as news.

    Specialist news subscriptions will always be direct and have real measures of fiscal worth. General news is meant to be of public worth and hence inherently funded by the public to ensure veracity and neutrality and they would have to prove so in court when challenged and face criminal penalties for failure. News a protected profession and a protected word as in professional News Journalists much like lawyer with some real criminal penalties for failure to adhere to the truth.

So things like tidal forces will occur, cold water is drawn out and warmer water replaces it on the next tide. The you have planetary flexure as a result of gravity and orbital movements and ice is more bendy than rock and you get distortions which draw in more warm water.

Keep in mind the tempreture rise will be higher at the poles than at the equator because it is a heat trapping affect and not a new heat affect, that would require changes in solar weather patterns, a hotter or colder Sun, just for fun, a warmer cycle is in the offing based upon past patterns.
