  1. ANOTHER study suggests?! on Scientists: Electric Vehicles Produce As Many Toxins As Dirty Diesels (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    C'mon! Let's get into context here. What about the CO2 and NO emissions?! You CANNOT expect me to believe a gas-powered vehicle is no dirtier than an electric vehicle! How about my horse? It farts methane regularly! Talk about "pollution"! So, come on now, and get all context accurate and divulged here.

  2. Re:Incredible Claims Require Incredible Evidence on Facebook Exec's New Startup 'Open Water' Targets Wearable Brain Imaging (xconomy.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe not advertising. YET - your brain will be scanned to what you could be coerced into 'needing'!

  3. Cannot wait to see what Peter Gabriel creates with tools like this!

  4. Re:Where Earned on Cupertino's Mayor: Apple 'Abuses Us' By Not Paying Taxes (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Taxes need to be paid WHEREVER an entity uses public infrastructure. If my biz in in Cupertino, I should be paying whatever taxes Cupertino needs. Otherwise, I am not rightfully entitled to the benefits from those tax dollars. If you want Cupertino police to protect your facility, then pay for it. If you want the US military to defend you, then PAY FOR IT!

  5. Re:They're afraid of the wrong things... on After ISIS, Americans Fear Cyberattacks Most (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Then why aren't you and more folks PUSHING for government reform? Doesn't Bernie Sanders make sense to keep the promise of focusing on this? Doesn't Trump and Clinton SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF YOU?! They represent MORE OF THE SAME crap we have now.

  6. Sure, I am fearful of the SYMPTOMS... on After ISIS, Americans Fear Cyberattacks Most (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Terrorists and cyber attacks are mere symptoms of the underlying root causes. Yet, there is a different perspective: It is the Corporatocracy that should be feared and mitigated. It is the actions of large corporations and banks that cause the need for good folks to turn to terrorism of any kind. If an entity worked to thwart you out of your home and resources, what would YOU do?

  7. Re:I'm sceptic his symptoms were about being in VR on Man Sets World Record With 25 Continuous Hours In Virtual Reality (roadtovr.com) · · Score: 1

    ... Doing "Tilt Brush" for 25 hours sounds dangerous to your mental health - not because of VR!

    As clearly evidenced by what happened in this case.

  8. Can't be the record... on Man Sets World Record With 25 Continuous Hours In Virtual Reality (roadtovr.com) · · Score: 1

    I know people that have been living in another reality for decades! If it's not the 'real' world, then it must ve some kind of virtual. For example, take Donald Trump.... Need I say more?!

  9. You've heard of the 'Mile High' club. Shall we call this the 'Mile Long' club. Presuming, of course, you can finish within a mile! ;)

  10. Capitalism... on Ask Slashdot: Should This Photographer Sue A Hotel For $2M? (google.com) · · Score: 1

    Capitalism at work. Does anyone reading these things have any idea when Americans will get their shit together?!

  11. "[...to boost sluggish electric-car sales...]" Why are German electric cars sluggish?! (;-) (Just kidding, for those of you about to reply with the obvious correction!)

  12. 'Future Shock' is here... on Supreme Court Gives FBI More Hacking Power (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    'Future Shock' is here -- WAY too many "monkeys with machine guns"! How did this happen? How about CORPORATIONS focusing on that ever-almighty bottom line? Sell Sell Sell - EVERYONE, whether they need it or want it or not.

  13. 1984! on Supreme Court Gives FBI More Hacking Power (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    C'mon fellow freedom lovers! FIGHT BACK!!! Get our lives OUT of the hands of paranoid government incompetents! I DEMAND FREEDOM! Freedom from any prying. Fix the REAL societal ills rather than chase them with patches. It is the CORPORATE manipulators that needs exposure - and full prosecution for their offenses. This crap cannot continue the way it is without a radical revolution to ensure our protection from a way of life that we do NOT want!

  14. Mother Nature (God, etc...) doesn't want us to find out anything more! What, with the obvious stupidity of mankinds actions, especially Americans (i.e. Trump supporters, Clinton supporters, Cruz supporters, ...). We'll just continue to make too much of a real mess with our totally irresponsiblities.

  15. NO, NO, NO, it wasn't me! At your service, Martin

  20. "Freedom of Religion" is a right. Yet... on Worshipping the Flying Spaghetti Monster Isn't a Real Religion, Court Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Is 'freedom of religion' NOT for inmates? Islamist are allowed to pray in prison (most prisons). Now, I get the apparent tongue-in-cheekyness of Pastafarianism being judged as not a real religion, yet what about those other religions that have, of the times being exposed and having invalid doctrine, like the Catholic religion scorning Galileo for putting the Sun at the center of the (universe). Today, we realize the errors of that. And there have been many other errors uncovered, not to mention the unsubstantiated other parts of many religions. It sure seems to me that theosophist - with a pension for the absolutr real truth - need to bring ancient religions into this technological age. And they need to start by de-mystifying things like 'miracles'. And, they need to include scientific fact, and the weirdness of quantum physics. Meanwhile, they also need to start paying TAXES!!!
