From my understanding of warp technology and travelling faster than light, hmm, I look no further than electricity and what we have done with that once we started to understand 'some' aspects of it. So, hmm, gravity, what will we be able to achieve once we start to understand some aspects of that, likley, faster than light travel will be no problem at all once we start to crack the gravity nut.
Humans, get some really high ideas about the selves, one step up from chimpanzees, solve a few puzzles and than they always believe they know it all. We are only just starting to learn what there is to learn.
So who should pay for the far, far and away more dangerous pass time for teenagers of getting behind the wheel of a car. All sporting injuries combined for teenagers over a whole year, whilst sad are nothing at all compared to traffic accidents in just one week. For sports to catch up they would have to turn into all out gladiatorial combat with spiked clubs and axes and even then they would still not catch up to the carnage on the roads, especially by those suffering 'affluenza' those born rich and privileged who not give a crap about the harm they cause on the roads. Besides I though highschool american football caused far more harm to young girls than it ever has to those douche athletes.
The error you make, is claiming that human societies have only just begun to over exploit the environment. Humans have a track record via disappeared societies of selfishly and greedily over exploiting their environments. There any many examples across the whole planet. The difference now is via an increasing percentage of psychopathically greedy and selfish humans, parasitically destroying the societies they are a part of, we have have the opportunity to do it upon a global scale.
Psychopaths will routinely defend psychopathy and there is no IQ limit on the lack of an autonomic empathic response or extreme shallowness of emotions, so psychopaths with doctorates will routinely distort and even fabricate their research to favour personal goals. In this case the continued ability of destructive and parasitic psychopaths to continue to hide amongst their victims and of course to defend their insane behaviour as somehow being normal and in their own insane minds being more evolved even though it more readily aligns with lizard like thinking rather than social mammalian responses.
Human societies evolve along with humans, it is not just the most successful humans but the most successfully human societies. The evolutionary measure of success of course does not measure our short term generational measure of success but will look at thousands even tens of thousands of generations. No matter how great short term success might look, it is still no measure of long term evolutionary success, as measured over hundreds of thousands of years.
Is it really a choice or is it just genetic programming. Those brain chemical triggers are based upon what you have been programmed with and will get you to do what ever you have been programmed with and reinforced over time, to keep those tasty brain chemicals flowing and the yeach ones at bay. Your body seriously enjoys those tasty brain chemicals because with the, 'feast or famine', release of stored energy and trace elements that your body manages, happy brain means releasing a feast rather than conserving due to harsh times. So how much of that is a hunter versus a gatherer response, keeping in mind carrying child evolves a gatherer response over a hunter response. Hmm, I wonder whether female computer programmers would actually design a better computer programming language than male computer programmers even when males are using it?
Hmm, faster that brings to mind as they update and modernise will they be teaching the 'ABC's or the 'QWE's on a 'QWE' or an Alphabetic keyboard. So search and peck or scan alphabetically and type.
Noisy PC, erm yeah right. This is all about "pay more attention to me, Me, ME" and that gaming computer is just the first target.
So with the claim of a noisy computer the response is either get the significant other gaming or you just might have made a huge mistake. A quieter computer is bound to turn into an ugly computer that doesn't match the other furnishings or the screen is to bright and distracts from viewing the idiot box or you are a child for playing computer games and should just grow up or, well, you get the idea.
You seem to fail to grasp the difference between innocent before being guilty and the corrupt nature of modern 'US' law enforcement using charges as extortion and using the prosecutorial process as punishment to force certain kinds of 'ILLEGAL' behaviour. So net neutrality goes hand in hand with common carrier status and is required just like the favourite slashdot analogy road and no local government, state and federal government should not be prosecuted for all the illegal actions on public roads and the internet is the digital equivalent of a public road.
So the real question facing us now is should the internet be paid for by taxes and a minimum broad band standard provided to everyone for free, so as to save the whole community money, in terms of billing costs, repeated management and corporate douche baggery and demand for infinite profits. Just imagine what public roads would be like if there was a toll on every footpath, every road, every intersection, every bridge and every driveway leading to that road. So the internet as freely available infrastructure with everyone saving or tolls upon tolls upon tolls, which really makes the most sense.
Dark ages most apt. The demands for energy now are what is needed to clean up our environment and it will take a lot of energy to do that. The need to more fairly distribute energy access across the globe along with the spread of global information as the benefits that are provided by easy access to energy become obvious to those that are currently energy starved. The balance is pretty clear, the greater the access to energy, the less natural resources that are required to supply human needs, the more land than can be left and returned to the natural environment and the cleaner and more efficient our society can become. We have already passed the point of no return, either we substantively improve the way we are doing things or the consequences will be very grim not only for us but for most life sharing this planet with us.
If they nuclear power industry were anywhere near a powerful as you claim, they would have kicked the crap out of the coal industry as well as banning the infernal combustion engine. So Nuclear remains a viable backup power source to cover the next 50 to 100 years until a more advance power source is available and a more advanced society can be trusted with it. The big shift in nuclear needs to be away from high output short term energy supply to low output long term energy supply, far simpler pulsed output designs or radiant panel style (keep in mind solar panels are nuclear powered, heh, heh). We really need to stop burning crap and not just because of CO2 but because of all the other pollutants it introduces into our environment.
The demands for energy will grow substantially over time especially as there is an inherent balance between trying to exploit new resources and more effective recycling of existing materials reliant on energy use, there is also more industrialised farming like aquaponics that use more energy and less water and land and something like water is also extremely bound to energy availability. The lies of water shortages are just that, the reality is it is all about corporate greed and the availability of 'cheap' water versus expensive stored, recycled and cleaned water. Turning potable drinkable water into polluted rubbish via industrial processes simply because it is cheaper is psychopathically insane. The law for water should be simple and clear cut, you pollute it, than you pay to treat and clean it, we do it at residential level, most of us pay to have our sewerage treated, often energy neutral if they recover the methane created during the process.
Pretty insensitive aren't you, I thought you would have guessed why I had a preference for cure over symptoms. By the way I found the best way to handle pain, was to put up with it during the day and only take pain relief in the evening. This allows natural pain relievers to continue to be produced and helps to prevent tolerance to analgesics developing. So an uncomfortable day but maximum relief at say tea time and before going to sleep, especially when the analgesics combine with natural pain relievers which you are still producing in quantity. Getting full relief in the evening and when going to sleep does a lot to help deal with next uncomfortable day.
Cost efficiency is the driver, by the way cost efficiency does not mean cheap it means how much performance you get for your investment, where sometimes paying more is more cost efficient. Why paint, because replacing say roof tiles is very expensive. Not that this is new, a 30+ year old industrial sub-division created by the South Australian government had already mandated all buildings have white roofs, so nothing new (for the crazies, no it did not cause planes or cars to crash, especially considering the areas of all those roofs -35.114081,138.4981497).
There is if course nothing more profitable that treating the symptoms rather than curing the affliction, yet they always cry the loudest when they succeed at treating the symptoms without curing the affliction, bless their greedy little hearts. Personally I would like to hear more about stem cell therapy to repair damaged nerves.
Keep in mind Alta Vista, Info Seek and MSN search and how Google came out on top. So private search engines where basically after initiating your search you skipped straight to page 5 or more of the results and started from there, that how Google gained it's initial advantage and since it has become dominant stated to abandon. Governments routinely outperform private industry especially when their actions are subject to public purview. Give up on your ohhh ahhh private bullshit, it is a marketing PR lie and has been routinely exposed over the decades. Of course you post is a prime example of for profit, private, public relations smear and I am not laughing, I am just tired of the PR=B$ lies (lies for profit).
Gees, I made it pretty clear I wanted a choice, either use public or private with the public one subject to full public review and with the ability to filter out results and promote others ie leaving you in total control. Do you not read and comprehend. Google can do what ever the crap it wants with searches as long as people have reasonable alternatives to select from and likely a government managed version with clear public rules and guide lines with actual end user control over the results is the best option, as long as of course it only remains an option and not government forced choice.
Current feel in the regulations market means, keep it small and cheap because likely new laws will mean major restrictions and strict licensing requirements based upon capability and use, beyond restricted use on private property with the owners permission. This will vary with countries over time, keep in mind some countries already have strict restrictions on model aircraft use, with or without camera. How far off are those laws, it really depends upon location. So check local laws and make an estimate upon future laws and you'll thank me later, when you don't get something that you wont be able to use later without facing a major fine if you get caught;)
Would people paint their roofs to save money, you bet they will but how cheap is the paint, how clean does the roof need to be, how cheap is it to apply and how long will it last. I would have no qualms about painting my roof white, as long as I can get it done cost effectively enough. Of course one other thing, how well does it perform after it is no longer pristine, how self cleaning is it with rainfall or do I have to get up there and clean it every once a month to maintain performance. When it comes to using white as default for roofs, it is easy enough for many countries to legislate that for all new structures that is mandatory and provide subsidise for existing structures.
'Erm' yeah, like cos you know, innocent until proven guilty because we don't believe you, when the you is the government and they have to prove their claims in a public court. This of course because without public courts governments have proven to be totally 100% corrupt when it comes to accusing people of crimes and basically chopping off their heads for all and sundry reasons. So yeah innocent and the government most definitely does not have the legal right to use the prosecutorial system as a penalty into and of itself. Which governments around the globe have been doing and especially which the corrupted US government has been doing, even going to the extreme of torturing people to death as part of that prosecutorial system, without even bothering with kangaroo military courts based upon nothing more than other claims made under torture. So yeah the legal system in the US has turned to utter shite, where the rich get off even when convicted, the poor get maximum sentences in forced labour prisons and foreigners die without trial.
The whole idea is stupid. What governments should of course be considering instead, if they find biased internet searches so troubling, is to create a government body that provides the same service upon a completely neutral basis. The problem then comes into how to sort the list, who gets first page ranking and who misses out. So hold a conference, invite various groups and individuals and set rules for search sorting and set major penalties for attempting to search optimise, also provide the means for registered end users to readily filter out and promote sites based upon how well they match the search criteria. Do it all ad free, based upon the majority of companies getting better consumer access without bias, on consumers saving time without having to wade through irrelevant search optimised shit search sites, in fact allow users to flag them with a view to prosecution far disrupting user network search activity. Government spending should always have a focus on saving the majority of it's citizens money where that taxation investment is far less than the money citizens save in the more efficient provision of services.
So should internet search be private or public and should citizens have a choice whether to use the private service or the public service. In this case only a handful of private companies benefit and the cost of a huge number or private companies and this cost is inevitably passed onto the consumers.
So should net neutrality extend to search neutrality, well, at least search fully controllable by the end user and their choices of what a good search results and which ones 'search optimisely' suck.
Who needs a conspiracy. Just see how close you can fly to Diego Garcia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D... in what the US government now considers a flying bomb, it's not like they don't have a history of shooting down passenger jets, sometimes admitting it, sometimes denying it and sometimes pretending it never happened if they can clean it up fast enough whilst people are conveniently looking elsewhere. It's not like that particular pilot had an anti-US history and had been practising landing at Diego Garcia on a flight simulator.
Easy, start screaming at Google to pull it's bloody finger out and make a much needed modification to permission to differentiate between unlimited permissions and user confirmed permissions every time a request is made, plus the opportunity to change this on the fly. Add in logs for access, that the user can readily confirm in order to change permissions if they don't like them. Send them emails, blog nasty things about them and stop installing apps until changes are made.
Just a reminder GT did not sign on the dotted line, GT is not a real person not matter how many deceitful and disingenuous corporate types like to pretend it is, in order to shift responsibility away from themselves to other people and make them pay. So why would the corporate executives of GT sign, what kind of motivation would they individually need to risk their whole company in order to provide Apple the best deal possible. So how much money and risk could Apple save by investing in the executive team of GT, keeping in mind as per typical executive teams the one thing they always put in place for themselves is a golden parachute when it all fails. So how much would Apple have to shift from one offshore tax haven bank account to another offshore bank account to basically get corporate executives to stab their own company in the back, keeping in mind Apple could save hundreds of millions of dollars over the life of the contract or eliminate hundreds of millions of dollars of risk.
Strange things go on in the world of finance where investment companies routinely buy into doomed companies, that enable vulture capitalists like Mittens Romney to make huge profits. For some strange reasons those executive teams of say pension funds go stupid and buy all sorts of crap for billions of dollars and yet they all still retire rich no matter how much other people's money they lose.
It should be pretty obvious by now when it comes to corporations, psychopathic corporate executives always act in their own interest and whether or not that serves the interests of the company they work for is completely arbitrary.
At the end of the day, neither the Republicans or the Democrats are what they seem. The only real election that counts is the primaries, where the Republican and Democrat Party are created, once the primaries are over, so is the real election. This is where the electorates choices are currently all stacked in favour of psychopathic corporations, so no matter who the electorate vote for, they are voting for the corporations candidates. So the Democrats and the Republicans are only as bad as lazy stupid Americans allow them to be at the primaries, in which something like 10% of the eligible electorate participate.
How about politicians sitting through the normal employee application process and undergoing public testing to review their intellect, knowledge and psychology. So that when the electorate chose to vote for some know nothing idiot psychopath that will say for anything they are paid to say, the electorate will do so with full knowledge of how stupidly gullible they are to do so.
You are like that farmer that whines when they get paid bugger all for a crop that raked in huge profits for the few farmers that planted it last season, just like all the other farmers that switched to the high profit crop.
Demand does not function on it's off but is a partner with supply. When supply fails to meet demand, price rises and when supply exceeds demand price drops. There was an interesting period where old cobol programmers were paid heaps, not because there was growing demand but because no one was learning the language and supply of skilled coders had dropped right off and although very little new code was written, existing code had to be maintained.
A tricky point on the supply side, the easier the language is to learn and use, the more readily coders will learn it and of course the greater the supply. You also have to be careful with regard to the realistic stabilisation of applications. Change in applications now is largely driven by greed, with forced incompatibilities created purposefully to require purchasing the same software over and over again, they toss in some GUI changes to create the public relations illusion of a better product. Eventually this is going to hit a real wall, customers will no longer accept fake upgrades that waste huge sums in licence fees, retraining costs, installation costs and hardware upgrades, all with zero new benefit to the customer.
What creates the illusion of a money loser in the corporate tax lawyer parlance is shifting all revenue offshore against claimed costs in tax havens, including management costs and, licensing costs. So one company unit in a tax haven pays a negligible cost for the software and then places an enormous profit margin on the item, which is the bought by another company unit at the revenue point who then shock horror sells it at an imaginary loss (the profits hidden in the tax haven). All tax should be based on localised revenue, all offshore costs should be audited and any profit incorporated in them should be subject to taxation at the final revenue point. Any costs that fail audit or where information is not supplied should be excluded.
When corporations cheat of taxes, they, upon a user pays basis are stealing from that economy that provides the revenue opportunity. The basically are not paying for their access to that economy and cheating all citizens of that economy, keeping in mind those citizens pay for the social, administrative and infrastructure costs that make those revenue opportunities available. So they are acting as economic parasites, making use of the economy without contributing back to it, this parasitism resulting in loss of social services and infrastructure to those citizens that provided the economy from which the tax cheats benefited. When it is done upon a large scale those companies and the individuals behind those companies are as evil as imaginable as they are cheating citizens of essential social services and shorting their life expectancy.

You are like that farmer that whines when they get paid bugger all for a crop that raked in huge profits for the few farmers that planted it last season, just like all the other farmers that switched to the high profit crop.
Demand does not function on it's off but is a partner with supply. When supply fails to meet demand, price rises and when supply exceeds demand price drops. There was an interesting period where old cobol programmers were paid heaps, not because there was growing demand but because no one was learning the language and supply of skilled coders had dropped right off and although very little new code was written, existing code had to be maintained.
A tricky point on the supply side, the easier the language is to learn and use, the more readily coders will learn it and of course the greater the supply. You also have to be careful with regard to the realistic stabilisation of applications. Change in applications now is largely driven by greed, with forced incompatibilities created purposefully to require purchasing the same software over and over again, they toss in some GUI changes to create the public relations illusion of a better product. Eventually this is going to hit a real wall, customers will no longer accept fake upgrades that waste huge sums in licence fees, retraining costs, installation costs and hardware upgrades, all with zero new benefit to the customer.
What creates the illusion of a money loser in the corporate tax lawyer parlance is shifting all revenue offshore against claimed costs in tax havens, including management costs and, licensing costs. So one company unit in a tax haven pays a negligible cost for the software and then places an enormous profit margin on the item, which is the bought by another company unit at the revenue point who then shock horror sells it at an imaginary loss (the profits hidden in the tax haven). All tax should be based on localised revenue, all offshore costs should be audited and any profit incorporated in them should be subject to taxation at the final revenue point. Any costs that fail audit or where information is not supplied should be excluded.
When corporations cheat of taxes, they, upon a user pays basis are stealing from that economy that provides the revenue opportunity. The basically are not paying for their access to that economy and cheating all citizens of that economy, keeping in mind those citizens pay for the social, administrative and infrastructure costs that make those revenue opportunities available. So they are acting as economic parasites, making use of the economy without contributing back to it, this parasitism resulting in loss of social services and infrastructure to those citizens that provided the economy from which the tax cheats benefited. When it is done upon a large scale those companies and the individuals behind those companies are as evil as imaginable as they are cheating citizens of essential social services and shorting their life expectancy.
