To all of those that jumped up and said that only Federal money is withheld no law is passed against stem cell research (their emphasis not mine) I should point out the obvious that...
frontline research is conducted with mostly Federal money coming out of the NSF, DoE (you name it) and not the private sector (unless subsidized by... Federal Grands).
Why do I always have to point out the obvious to people that don't know what they are talking about, but have a clear opinion about it, and are so happy to accept whatever the prevailing truth of the day happens to be, as long as it fits their very clear and concise perception of reality?
if you have the right connections or if you represent the vocal majority, you can bend the law without breaking it, a law that was enacted by paid corporate legislation services to begin with!
I love the Germans! They always set the example...
LOL! If you actually believe that there is no hope for you! LOL!
You just made my day! Amazing! It does not take but a 5 year old child to figure out that there is something seriously wrong with the guy, and an article in nytimes based on military records is enough evidence for you to believe otherwise and against reality!
Downloading either one will get you noticed by the feds. Don't fool yourself. I know TAC is perfectly legal and all, but don't for a second think that every time you download it doesn't go into your "file" somewhere. Hell, this message is going into my file for sure.
In fact even thinking about it gets you registered into the... File. Not only talking about it or even going to the extreme of downloading it.
I have a theory! I believe in the United States the citizens are not the humans but the corporations. The humans are the flora and fauna that grows in the society. The real citizens are the corporations. They vote (with their money), they have rights but no obligations, they have access to legislation, they participate in the society, they sent the flora and fauna to die on endless wars while they (the corporations) profit out of it!
It's so tragicomic, all these futile efforts to reverse progress, all this money spent...
... it sould be mandatory for any CEO to have a minor in history of civilization. You just can't stop progress. You can't possibly believe that people will volutary chose to be chained down by greaty corporate legislation and their moronic DRMs and DMCAs and such. They will all be graciously bypassed. You can't imprison a whole society because you are greedy. You can't wage war at your customers for starters!
one has to wonder whether airing such a controvercial movie on the eve of an election helps or hurts the political process by influencing the vote with last-minute emotions rather than thoroughly contemplation
What political process? Oh you must mean the one that a bunch of fanatics gather together in a hall cheerleading on the business show pulled on them with actors, lights, loud patriotic music, catchy images, more cachy images and lines, more patriotic talk, and more slow and agonizing patriotic talk...
Or you must mean the other bunch of fanatics that try to convince some of the former moderate fanatics that they will bomb and plunder just right the current fanatics, but only with a friendlier more inclusive way, so they should change their mind (the moderate fanatics) and vote for them.
Where is politics in all that? What political process are you talking about? Talking about gay marriage is not politics, it's trash TV. Talking about "Leave no child behind" education in a country with 25% illiteracy is not politics, it's demagogy. Talking about patriotism in a country that forbids, punishes or persecutes patriotic talk (the real kind that requires genuine love and interest for fellow human beings) is a joke to say the least.
This is all a circus that you get to participate only if you dress up like a clown and you act like one, saying the proper things. Please call it anything you like but don't call it politics. Otherwise you put into the same category the clown and the politician.
Apparently the next World Power (aka Greatest nation of the (world|galaxy)) will be China. So it's high time I started learning some Chinese at least to be able to communicate the basics. You never know...
With the current self-destructive pace of the contemporary World Power (aka USA) this might well happen within my life span, especially if W wins the elections and we go for a second round of brilliant interventions.
Time for the Chinese to laugh back at the round eyed stupid westerners...
The limit of quantum interference will soon be reached below of which no more close packing will be possible since the transistors will not be able to function properly. The electrons will choose to develop superpositions of states (of 1 and 0) with unpredictable results.
Well a fundamental new design has to be implemented, and I guess that's where quantum computing steps in...
Noham Tsomsky seems right after all. The general shift of the current world system is to grand more and more rights to corporations creating these monstrous entities that are very hard to contain or control.
If we take it a bit further, then we realize that the western world's democratic process has granted citizenship to these conglomerates of power and influence but has granted them with different rules of responsibilities. If I don't pay my electric bill on time they will charge me a fee, if they don't refund my money back for whatever reason, it was a computer error and they will fix it next month... interesting!
1 mile = 1609.344 meters
So a speed of 0.3mph translates to 0.45m/s or 45cm/sec.
In one second the bullet covers 45 cm inside your body before it is stopped by bones, tissue or a zippo lighter. It sounds pretty much to me...
"This Army initiative will develop and demonstrate revolutionary capabilities for the future soldiers in battle"...
enhanced human performance...
"The Future Force Warrior will be a responsive and formidable member of an invincible battle space team"...
will be able to chat online...
jungle trail...
"Warrior Physiological Status Monitoring System"...good action movie...
bullet hits this person...
armor that deflects bullets...
soldier becomes a walking gun platform...
for an article summary. Now I think that's what the the Age of Iron people were saying to the Age of Copper People when they discovered... iron. Now whoever passed Human History class with B+ and above can enlighten us to what happened next...
Keep inventing boys, it only takes one stolen uniform for the Russians to replicate and improve on your technology. Unless of course what happens to the fallen "Future Warriors" is similar to the fate of my signature. I wonder if that will be included in the job description though...
I'd rather scrap the Man on Mars mission and spend the money on science
I would rather have all that money spent to social development within the US. The poverty
level, especially in children living in it, is alarming. In fact it compares to Third World country levels.
But then again the Mod-Nazis might find this irrelevant/offensive/antiamerican (freedom hating propaganda) and mod it down in a futile attempt to exorcise the problem (out of their conscience?).
Go ahead teach master teach...
One day Vader will be our President...

First it is provisional cameras just for a big gathering. Then they stay.
Then it will be unprecidented authorities handed over to law enforcing agencies to arest detain, question, interrogate, rough treat anybody under the pretext of security. All of that in the name of democracy and freedom!
Then we wake up in 1952 saluting Josef Stalin's paradise on earth.
It's amazing how gullible people are and willing to be misslead. You twist the truth to your liking and allow people to believe that some evil-doers hate their way of life and that 9/11 practically happened because some people hate football and McDonalds and civilization!
Then you pose the question, "Are you willing to waive some of your basic democratic rights to aid the war for... democracy?"
Most of the people don't even see the contradiction anymore. They were waiting for Spiderman 2 to hit theaters anyway.
Then you mislead people to a war based on lies, supposedly that you want to instill democracy in Iraq so let's bomb the hell out of them.
Sure that makes sense as well! No questions asked all the debate is wheather we should use conventional bombs or small-time nuclear ones.
Hmmm democracy in Iraq? You really want that? That means you want the iraqi people to elect their government and control their fate as a nation?
Hmmm so you naturally want the iraqi people to decide how to handle their country's resources on their own? Meaning, you want the iraqi people to decide where, how much and at what currency they want to sell their oil?
Riiiiight! That's what we want! That's why americans are dying right now! Because we want the iraqi people to assume full control over their country's resources!
Amazing but many people actually belive all that crap, not only that but they encourage their kids to go and die for it too!
What would those people think if they learn that in europe for example street cameras are blackened with paint, broken or even burned as a clear civil reaction to the implementation of a police state? And all this is done not from the local anarchy club but many times with the auspicies of local municipalities?

In communist China you have to ask permission for your basic rights... (and have them refused of course...)
In capitalist US you have to pay for your rights... (again and again and again...)

technologically informed ./ers mock at this new expression of hired corporate legislation, it slowly becomes the law of the land.
... Average American...
Another milestone, another passive moment in the life of the pathetic, gullible, ignorant, socially and politically inept creature called...
Sad, sad, sad, sad...

Fascism at the Gates and 60M people voted for it, cheered their guts out for it, celebrated it!
How much more can the american people take before they say it's too much? Well let the wheel of history roll and stick around.
It is unpatriotic to skip commercials, unpatriotic and criminal to think out of the box, unpatriotic and criminal to criticize the government.
The day is coming that I'll buy a one way ticket out of here!
Sheeesh, why all young democracies have to slide through fascism before they reach maturity?
Ts ts ts ts ts!

you guys need to decide! Was it 'Troll' or 'Offtopic'?

All this uncertainty is killing me

You know there is this thing called BOOLEAN operator that you can use to eliminate search results pretty quickly. If all you type is
DVD model #
well good luck!
But if you type
+"DVD model #" +put_manufacture_company_here -buy
as an example on top of my head you pretty much calibrate the search to what you want.
Then again you posted this anonymously so you probably do not care for the solution...
