  11. Re:I feel...nothing on GlobalFlyer Completes Record-Breaking Flight · · Score: 1

    Although it's got the neat-o factor that no one has ever done it before, it's just sort of a demonstration of pointless goals. I mean, would everyone be that excited if the guy could fly around the world non-stop TWICE? No one would have done that before. THREE TIMES? Who cares!

    It's a demonstration of an ability to do something that really isn't necessary. Did anyone ever doubt it could happen? Not really. Did anyone doubt we could go to space? Yes. Break the sound barrier? Yup. Go to the moon? No way!

    But everyone was amazed when those obstacles were overcome and their World View changed when those goals were accomplished. Not this. It's just proof of concept that you can make a fuel efficient plane that can hold enough gas to complete the objective. Point A to point A.

    I don't know if you saw my earlier post but this is why I'm not that impressed:

    The guy sat on his "recliner like" chair for 67 hours and took frequent catnaps while auto pilot flew the plane. He drank sports drinks and milkshakes. Geeeezus, sounds like a typical 3 day weekend in these parts, only instead of "flying" a plane, I'm "controlling" the TV!

    That's bullshit someone modded YOU with Flamebait, but HE was the one that called you an "Idiot". Sometimes these modders are fucking retarded.

    Anyway, his analogy from planes to balloons is a false one. The goofball needs it to be pointed out to him that planes have slightly more vector control that a balloon? Besides, solar powered high altitude aircraft HAVE actually been considered cheaper alternatives to many communications/surveillance satellites. I agree with your points.

    Eloquent words. A diamond sparkle of wisdom...**needle drags across record** HEY!! Did that moron realize that he had just defined nearly 50% of the USA as terrorists? Less than half the country actually voted for him and so were "agaist him". No wonder his "approval" rating soared to 90% after he said that.

    "...it's not like the votes were shipped off to Diebold headquarters to be counted in secret by their CEO."
    Good point. It would be impossible to ship all those votes to Diebold HQ.

    Unfortunatley, it would also be unnecessary. You see, there is this thing called "Computer Networking" where 2 or more computers can "link" together to virtually "ship" or "exchange data" over wires. All that would be required is for someone (not necessarily the CEO) to connect the vote counting servers to either a modem or an internet connection to gain access to the vote counts. United Parcel Service ("UPS") need NOT be involved!

    Why am I telling you this? Surely you are connected to one of those computer networks in order to post to Slashdot.

    Hey, waaaait a minute. Are you playing stupid with me!? Damn it! I always fall for these flamebaits. Hook, line, and sinker.

    Your comment should be modded WAY up as informative.

    The way I like to sum this whole argument up is like this:
    1. The Bush Administration's criteria for standards of evidence concerning WMD were much lower than the standards of evidence are for UFOs.


    2. If the Bush Administration gave the same weight to UFO evidence as they did evidence of WMD in Iraq, Bush's State of the Union address would have announced that UFOs are Extraterrestial Alien Lifeforms.
