    Start with that bit and then Google the genetic studies in Israel, read the papers and you too will see it is clearly genetic.

    At least some of the smartest people in the World think so.

  7. laugh on Apple Announces Smartwatch, Bigger iPhones, Mobile Payments · · Score: 1

    Apple has had such penetration in the last 10 years they can inject their mediocrity into the payment and financial system, and no one seems to remember all their security failures.

    Would you trust Apple with your bank account?

  8. I started wondering... on Paypal Jumps Into Bitcoin With Both Feet · · Score: 1

    Who really created Bitcoin and what this move to digital currency means for the future.
    I have to admit I find a future of digital currency kind of creepy considering how easy it is for Nation States to monitor everything done online or in any network.

    If we had a truly cashless society would there be the possibility of the anonymous purchase as you can with cash?

    Yes I understand that was BC's whole thing, but what happens when you legitimize BC?
    Does it remain anonymous or do you lose that some where in the chain of events required to use BC.

    What if digital currency was the only thing, and it could be shut off in the event the police were after someone effectively taking their ability to purchase and therefore function.
    What if everything we ever buy is known and stored by your friends the NSA or some other branch of (and I use the word lightly) government.

  17. Re:Mayan temples too on Egypt's Oldest Pyramid Is Being Destroyed By Its Own Restoration Team · · Score: 1

    Why is anything historically significant?

    Nothing is on a long enough time line, I'm not impressed with Mayan or Aztec temples, they were built the same way the pyramids were, with slaves, it was a brutal culture that only took one visitor to entirely decimate the population religion and language.

    That's what cracks me up about the unified Latino people, they are a bunch of diverse indian tribes that got their asses kicked by the Spanish and now speak and practice a Caucasian language and religion.

    Humans are stupid, we spend all our time comparing ourselves to each other, it's vanity in the extreme, I wish everyday that an alien race would land on this planet so we finally have a true comparison.
    Lets see how "fantastic" we are when that happens.

    Yep and the nude hacker story, the news keeps talking about the "poor celebs" who got violated, the real story is a script kiddie hacked Apples iCloud, that's the story.
    I wonder how much Apple is paying them not to talk about it.

    This guy is an ass, he lies, he spouts propaganda, he is a shill for the very people destroying the Internet.

    My feelings on the matter is there is no FCC, it doesn't exist as anything but a title, they are toothless, and they want it that way.
