  1. Re:What if... on Conspiracy Theorists, Meet The Moon · · Score: 1

    Except the population density of the universe PER UNIVERSE is 6 billion/universe. Now, what you're thinking of is population density of the universe in smaller chunks, which assuming an infinite universe comes out to 0/cubic light year, yes. However, you cannot correctly arrive at a density of 0/universe, I'm sorry.

    So I'm imagining these 6 billion or so people on Earth? I must be, otherwise that's not 0 people in your equation. Learn math, that trick doesn't work.

    Ok, I oversimplified. The technology was not there to do it affordably, and I'm not sure about paperback binding at that point. In any case, that detail aside, the book WAS intended as one story, not 3 separate but related plots.

    However, the books are not sequels to each other, the story is one single continuous tale. The story does not wrap up a tidy conclusion at the end of each of the 3 or 6 "books." If you read Tolkien's comments, he wanted them all bound together, but the technology to bind 1216 pages did not exist at that time.

    Yes, in population density. However, in actual population, counting just Earth there are 6 billion people/universe, by raw count.

    The other problem is the message the death penalty sends. Basically, its ok to kill if you're justified.

    Yes well, do YOU want to arrest every soldier who has killed an enemy in battle?

    Three rings for Elven kings, under the sky

    That might not be quite right, but its the right order.

    No, pretty big hole in your head. The DoJ STATED that Microsoft could have a monopoly with less than 100% of the market, as it only required enough to have monopoly-level market power. On top of that, what the poster meant, I believe, was that the PROCESS of installing a new OS is fairly trivial for the open PC platform, and much less so for a mobile phone.

    Definitely gotta agree with you there, you should be free to fly either flag, but having the state fly the Confederate flag by law, that's bad.

  25. Re:only 100 sites on Google Complies with Law, Excludes 'controversial' Sites · · Score: 1

    You're making an error. The Nazi flag represents the Nazi regime. The Confederate flag represents the Confederate regime. Both movements had extremely... unsavory elements, and both had people who disliked said elements but agreed with other parts. The Swastika may be stronger, as WWII was more recent and horrific, but the same principle applies to both. I'm quite sure there's a depressing number of people who revel is the Swastika, and others similarly in the Confederate flag. You can't claim to like the Confederate flag for reasons other than slavery and then simultaneously say the Nazi flag is evil. One way or the other, not both.
