    Based on how many cold dwarf stars we have found so far, there may be stars like this one within 2 LY or less. In which case they would make for a great candidate for a high speed interstellar probe.

    What about the idea that there were multiple lines of fish who started walking on land pushing the division of some of the groups back even further so the last common ancestor of Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, and Amphibians was a fish in the Devonian period?

    Maybe instead of a common tetra pod ancestor there was a line of walking fish who had live birth and those were the ones who gave rise to mammals. While another line gave rise to reptiles and birds, while a similar branch gave rise to amphibians?

  13. Re:wow good thing the taxpayers bailed them out on GE To Sample 500GB DVD-Size Discs Soon · · Score: 1

    Yeah, GE got a lot a "Government Help" in the form of green energy regulations that favor them and penalize others and sweet tax deals.

    GE is the definition of "Crony Capitalism".

    A lot of regulations are written by these large companies like GE and Monsanto and their lobbyists to drive the middle sized and small operators out by making them comply with ridiculous regulations that are easier to comply with if you are a large company with a herd of full time lawyers. This kills their competition and allows them to stay on top where they become bloated and filled with corruption. Just look at the Old AT&T of the 1970's and 1980's, horrible service, high prices and no competion so no incentive to improve themselves.

  14. Re:Whangdoodles, Hornswogglers and Snozzywangers on Do 'Ultracool' Brown Dwarfs Surround Us? · · Score: 1

    Willy Wonka is a racists bastard, he tool those poor oompa-loompas from their natural environments and forced them to live in a city that was alien to them. Exploiting them for their manual labor. Willy Wonka is essentially a slave master and the oompas are his slaves.

    I wonder if he goes down the breeding quarters in the deep bowels of his factory to help himself to some of the orange and green "oompa-tang", he probably has a special oompa-loompa abortion center there to help conceal his half-breed mutants he creates in the depths of his "factory"/sweat shop.

  15. Re:I'm not your stepping stone on Do 'Ultracool' Brown Dwarfs Surround Us? · · Score: 1

    I agree with you we should live sustainable on this planet and having a space program is not sustainable. Communism is sustainable, but first we need to lower the earth population down to 500 million and segregate humanity into a few giant mega cities. Also we need to wipe out any form of capitalism as if any form of capitalism exists on the planet it will poison the glorious system that is communism.

    Then we can live sustainably with nature and stay on this planet and not pollute the cosmos with the human filth that is humanity. Of course all the life on this planet will end in a billion years or so when the sun heats up, but at least all those critters that lived in those billion years will not have to worry about suffering under the boot of uncaring humans. And we may be the only intelligent life in the cosmos that has the tools to figure out the the nature of the universe, but why try to figure out that riddle when we can live like plants in the surface of the earth until some asteroid or the sun's eventual expansion puts an end to one of the most versatile creatures evolution has produced.

    I will take great solace in know when the earth is a burnt cinder and the only sentient life we know of in the universe is long gone that we made the right decision to ensure intelligence in the universe died and early and most deserved death. But hey, at least we saved all those endangered species, until the sun blew up....

    No you could establish colonies along the way on these brown dwarfs. They may be small enough that you could scoop up hydrogen from them for fueling and some may even have planets orbiting around them which would allow for colonization of them.

  17. Problem is lack of deductive reasoning. on The View From the Ground At an Indian Call Center · · Score: 1

    In India they teach via route memorization, and if it is not a solution that is memorized and requires analytical skill they are next to useless.

    They need to teach deductive reasoning techniques. In the US we used to teach this, but now it is nothing but route memorization so they can pass the silly idiot federally mandated tests so the school employees can get their federal government cheese.

    And we wonder why we are losing tech jobs t the third world. That and the whole "I am entitled to free crap without working" mentality that pervades our dumbed down youth.

  21. Re:Capitalism fail on Using Crowdsourcing To Identify Vancouver Rioters · · Score: 1

    Yeah I agree 100% we shoudl replace it with Communism, becasue then everyone will be equal, I think communism is great, everyone has a job and no one ever goes hungry, The problem with what has been tried in the Soviet Union and China is that the evil capitalists in the rest of the world were making things unfair for the emerging communist countries. In order for communism to be truly sucessful it needs to be tried all at once in every country around the world simultainously.

    We can't just half ass our implementation of communism it must be done on a global scale, otherwise it just won't work. Communism will not work preoperly and will be poisoned unfairly as long as there is even just one evil capitalist country in existsence even if it is a small country on a samll island in the south pacific. It is a pretty much all or nothing.
