Aha, so a hidden variable. That's what annoys me: we've only tested light speed within the Solar system. Like Galileo testing light speed with shutter lamps, it's too small of a context.
This could also mean the distance of the galaxy (and other objects) has been mistaken based on misconceptions of light. The distance is calculated with photons, but if the gamma ray follows a non-standard speed, who's to say the photons are going the right speed?
Citizens are weary of fascist governments banning weapons before a takeover, especially in Germany. But they won't notice if the government bans all media displaying violence. That is, violence not used by police. A few 'cops and robbers' games get by with no 'mature' rating as long as you play a cop shooting civilians. As a result, people are naturally defenseless with or without arms, and they fear and obey the government with only verbal protests. They just vent their anger with peaceful political drawings and debates.
I noticed this tactic when I lived in Colorado and saw a few Mexican news channels. Things are different in the outside world. They showed wars, riots, people who actually stood up for themselves and returned fire at police. They showed raw videos of deaths and injuries in Iraq. You never see any of that on American TV. A news report of bombings will show an overhead map of Iraq, and a cute little 'bomb' symbol where the incident took place, or maybe a demolished building and a kill count. No carcasses, nobody physically getting an arm blown off. You'll see a few riots on the 'shocking police videos' shows - a high-school protest riot accompanied by the narrator, saying "Fortunately, the kids were detained with minimal deaths from police fire." A passing news report "Riots in the mid-East were quelled by police today. 45 deaths, mostly civilians. Now for sports."
So, we believe there's nobody fighting the government and no hope for humanity. Might as well set back until the aliens kill us.
The Milky Way is an overall dead galaxy whose planets are deserted by previous inhabitants, often littered with fossils and dead machinery. Most planets are lightly colonized by species from the more livable neighboring galaxies, but it's a few small factions. Even Earth was a barely-livable place a while back.
NASA could at least be more entertaining. How long did this discovery take? Life on Mars? Wow. Have they discovered fire yet?
We're so totally going to buy the advertised album, like, at a music store, and ask permission from our mommy before buying CDs with unholy language. We want to give out our money and contribute to glorious corporate whores like Jay-Z who have been left alive too long, and help their monopolies, that way 1% of the population can continue controlling 99% of the world's money like God intended.
Yes indeed. In fact a lot of NES games are idealized as people say "games aren't what they used to be". Clearly, they haven't gone back and tried playing those games now that their standards are higher. I recently downloaded a SNES emulator and played Castlevania on it, and despite how much I loved it back when it came out, it annoyed the Hell out of me now. Stiff controls, typical concepts After playing enough games - no matter how famous they were a decade ago - I realized they were all the same system of gameplay: Hit things and die, jump around, solve a puzzle, hit things and die. There was nothing to them. Today, ordinary kids have made superior games using nothing more than Flash.
This happens a lot. It's like when man discovered fire: The technology was beneficial and all, but suddenly, people were using the fire to cook things all the time and refusing to eat bacteria-covered raw meat. It was very bad for tradition.
It's always appalling when a kid does this sort of thing: Doing what he wants and not living in misery under your thumb. What I think you should do is put special locks on their cages to make sure they don't get to the computer at night, and tie them to trees first thing in the morning to make sure they get their alloted exposure to the sun and plants. When they say they don't like being outdoors, remember that a bag of oranges can cause a lot of pain without leaving a mark for the police to see.
Make them plow the garden on occasion, tend to the sheep, and they'll have to learn to hunt buffalo sooner or later. They'll be running around happily outside the cave in no-time!
These must have been the Americans who voted for Bush. What the Hell are a bunch of fat stupid congressmen going to do about your incompetence with a computer?
So I've got this site for listing people you hate - http://peoplethatsuck.net/ - and I ran into a kinda funny issue: When somebody makes an entry, it almost always appears at the top of Google, and the person being listed will almost always find it. The exceptions are names of famous people who have a lot of pages about them. Now, I knew this page was going to be famous, simply because everyone wants to let the world know who they hate, but this is peculiar because now it can actually can do a number on the listee's reputation.
A prime example - search "spokker jones" on google - http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en& q=spokker+jones&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8. This is the name of an author on Something Awful I particularly disliked. You'll see that my entry is the first result. So, soon enough, Spokker found it, and I got a flood of people from SA after he - apparently - posted a reprisal rant that I couldn't view without a membership. It was really quite fun, and I got almost a thousand hits that way >:) ownd
Turns out, this all happened because the entry is linked from the main page, the link's title is the person's name, and the entry page's title is also the person's name, and of course the name is said in the contents and the comments.
Just thought I'd mention it, though I'd hate for this info to fall into spammers' hands. Someone actually asked me to take a name down once because it was screwing with the listee's reputation more than she'd expected. Yowser
You really don't know the fine art of pseudo-science, do you? Shame shame. The trick is to look at something and put together a heavily unlikely string of coincidences to lead to its existence. A lamp, for example, could come from chemicals falling together and being ignited by a lava flow and entering a crystal enclosure, leading up to the modern lamps we have now. People could come from monkeys and fish. My couch could come from sheep mutating into cushions. Add a few million years and they'll be enforcing it with the school system in no-time.
Second step is how to debunk the counter-evidence. It usually works just to say "Anything proving this wrong is a religious hallucination conspiracy hoax." And you're all set.
Heh, data transfer is stealing because every second you're not paying a CEO, it's robbery. Hey, I should make it 'murder' when people don't worship me as God. I'll start a huge corporation and tell the school system to teach this to kids. Ten years from now, people will be saying "I don't really like worshipping Zareste as God, but murder is wrong. So while we'd all like to be free from Zareste, it's just plain immoral and disgusting. Life is not supposed to be a free-ride, damn hippies."
'starting'? Have you ever seen the BSA site for kids?
Not sure why they want to spend all this money pushing thought-stealing IP laws. They already control most of the school system. Could just force kids to do even more paperwork on why it's evil to do anything the corporation tells you not to.
True. Though it wouldn't feel like Final Fantasy if the storyline and characters weren't uninteresting crap.
What I'm wondering is why in the world it would be bad for Hollywood to get into video games. All it means is that some expensive games will be based on movies. Designers will be able to play with some vast new options, and where's the drawback in basing it on a movie? It gives them a definite place to start, and they're playing on something familiar to people.
And meanwhile, if you don't like a game/movie mix, there are thousands of other games available. If they make something crappy, then so what? Does it erase any of the decent games? The only loss is for companies whose games already sucked, since developing for a system has also become easier (in terms of essential programming and equipment). Plus other options like Java and Flash games are on the rise. The other day, I threw together an applet with Megaman sprites and ended up with a working test sheet for a working mini-game (ctrl shoots, space jumps). Ten years ago, the requirements to do that would have been pretty phenomenal.
The drawback, I suppose, would be the corporate government getting involved and passing laws that penalize anyone challenging the bigshots. I guess it could possibly become a fascist dictatorship like the internet did, but, meh, everything's like that.
These aren't so much ugly, but horribly retarded because it almost takes two people to lift one. I have one and of course it works great, but it sets new records by actually beating the G4 in huge bulkiness.
I don't think Apple wanted anyone to buy these.

the vision is for children to interact while doing homework
And as usual, the greatest use anything can be put to is brainwashing or torturing kids.

Yeah that's what people do when they want to whine without actually conducting a solution.

Why is it illegal to distribute copyrighted material which have been ZIPed?
Too easy. It's the same reason most things are illegal: The monopolies don't like it.
Heh, data transfer is stealing because every second you're not paying a CEO, it's robbery.
