  1. Re:The Worlds Most Valuable Company on How Steve Jobs Patent-Trolled Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    30 years ago we didn't need any of this, that said I enjoy it, what bothers me here isn't that Apple makes computers, but that they have become "most valuable" for making the same shit as everyone else albeit with a better design factor.

    I think it's a strong statement on what we value.

    So being sexy makes you the most valuable company? It isn't the crap they make it's the fact they make crap we don't really need AND are the "most valuable".

    Fucking pathetic.

    *Warning Warning* sarcasm detected.
    You know any pad would do for doctors, a Kindle Fire would do the job and be a lot less $'s, again while they make things we can use, they make nothing we actually need, so in that light don't you find it odd a company that makes nothing we need is the "Most Valuable"?

    I do.

  9. It's things like this on Is Stratfor a "Joke"? · · Score: 2

    From the email Georgy sent out after the release of emails.
    "The release of these emails is, however, a direct attack on Stratfor. This is another attempt to silence and intimidate the company, and one we reject. As you can see, emails sent to many people about my resignation were clearly forged.
    We do not know what else has been manufactured. Stratfor will not be silenced, and we will continue to publish the geopolitical analysis our friends and subscribers have come to rely on. "

    Well possibly they were forged or maybe not.

    If you go to their web page allegedly they are giving out all their "information" for free for a limited time, however what I see is nothing new or interesting and quite a bit of poorly written analysis (yes I know my writing sucks as well) after going through several of the articles I started wondering "what's the big deal about Stratfor?"
    Decide for yourself:

    My advice is download them from a wireless cafe not your home IP, not sure what the legality is here and I am staying away from it.

  21. Re:I don't understand on Faulty Cable To Blame For Superluminal Neutrino Results · · Score: 1

    Why not paste a link to what you quote instead, GPS sat atomic clocks have accuracy to 1 nanosecond, these particles have life spans of picoseconds or in the case of the Higgs boson even less, you can't possible expect me to believe they can use GPS sats to accurately measure what is occurring in an accelerator.

    Since there wasn't any in depth information given on what exactly they were using the GPS sats for it's entirely possible they were doing something other than what I think, which for the second poster is why I titled it "I don't understand".

    I am still calling bullshit.
