  1. Re:Oh, I don't know, but on Can Bill Gates Prevent the Next Katrina? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Uh...There IS NO EVIDENCE of CO2 being a cause for the global warming which hasn't happened in years. All evidence points to CO2 being a trailing indicator of warming, yet the alarmists like to hide that little fact as best they can, most notably as shown in the link I posted through using huge timescales so it appears as if they have a direct correlation via CO2 rise means immediate temp rise, when in fact it lags by hundreds of years behind temp rise.

    Sounds exactly like the ideas used behind global warming and Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth.
    Very good dissection and dismantling of the global warming alarmists beliefs/'evidence'

    "In this case the fuel does not touch the reactor wall at all, so temperatures could reach several tens of thousands of degrees, which would allow specific impulses of 3000 to 5000 seconds (30 to 50 kNs/kg)." 800-900 was for the solid core, and these numbers are from the 60s.

    Nuclear Thermal Rockets have already been tested and shown to be incredibly powerful/efficient with designs from the 60s and 70s, so what is the breakthrough here?

    I can't believe someone proving themselves to be as big a fucking moron as you must be got modded insightful. She did not set out to cause the girl to /wrist, she just set out to fuck with her. If this ruling had stood, any and all trolling/flaming on the internet would be made illegal. That's bullshit.

    ALSO
    This girls parents knew every step of the way what was going on, minus the fact that the boy was an adult woman, and after ti happened whined to the media about how even though they told her to stay off the computer she simply refused and they didn't do shit to stop her. Where the fuck are the cries of "Where the fuck were the parents?"

  7. Re:This Enders Game (etc)?? on Universal Lands Rights To Asteroids Movie · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    There's no real way to make ender's game into a movie sadly simply due to the fact that real children are too fucking stupid (even the best child actors too) to be able to pull off the range of adult emotions and adult style scenes in the Ender's Game series of books.

    No I don't because they can't be expected to stay on the side of the road in such a way that I shouldn't even need to move over to go by them, whereas a bicyclist can. Just cause it's the law doesn't make them any less of a jackass.

  9. Re:About an Autobahn lane projector ? on Bike Projector Makes Lane For Rider · · Score: -1, Troll

    Maybe the people riding bikes shouldn't be jackasses who ride 2-3 feet out into the road from the curb/sidewalk. Where I live (Madison CT, suburban town), all the bikers are fucking retards and ride on the white line or over it, even if there's 2-4ft of space from the line to the curb. If you can't handle riding within the same 6-12inch track (and no, there is not shittons of debris, maybe pebbles n shit here and there which any bike will NOT wipeout on) and instead need 2-4feet of lanespace for your bike...you shouldn't be biking on public roads cause you're a fucking idiot.

    Yes, I know i'm gonna get hit with troll/flamebait mods, but I'm sick fo the self righteous bikers who cry about getting honked/yelled at when they're being utter morons literally getting in the way of a vehicle that is going 2x+ as fast as them, and weighs easily 5x-10x+ more than them.

    The best part is that the clusterfuck known as TSA security in an airport has done nothing to increase the safety of fliers. The only thing it has done is violated the rights of thousands of Americans, and so far only Steven Bierfeldt from the campaign for liberty has had the balls to stand up to them.

    You really are naive.


    If the government GETS more money, they will SPEND more money.

    And this is a hidden version of taxing the population as all costs will be passed on to the consumer. Good game for Obama's "I will not raise taxes on 95% of americans" speech with this bill and the health care bill which will tax employee benefits.

    Why is the bill worded to demand that only solar/wind be advanced as renewable when for all intents and purposes Fast Breeder Nuclear Reactors are cheaper (these renewable sources are much more expensive barring an insanely good breakthrough/require MUCH LARGER areas to be anywhere near current power plant outputs) and also renewable in the fact that they burn their waste, then burn their wastes waste, etc, all the way down to burning 90+% of their waste with the remaining byproduct only being slightly hot for 5-10 years?

  13. You cannot use viruses/bugs as an example of cost on The Hidden Cost of Using Microsoft Software · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Due to the fact that windows has had a 90+% marketshare since the dawn of time, do you really think people are gonna waste time writing viruses for the 6 people using a mac or the 2 people using linux? No, they aren't. It's cost benefit analysis at it's finest, they're aiming for the larger audience, just as they are doing now with firefox which was claimed to be 893589023x more secure than IE, but as soon as it gained popularity the bugs/exploits came out of the woodwork like fucking crazy.

    I personally use windows, and prefer windows, and since XP came out have never had a problem with it myself. The biggest problem with computers is they're technical machines which lend themselves to needing to have technical knowledge in order to use one safely/correctly....which the majority of people do not have.

  14. Re:Classic Controllers on In Defense of the Classic Controller · · Score: 1

    More than likely yes, although I have heard of some crazy good xbox fps players who have dominated highly skilled keyboard + mouse users. It comes down to reaction times when headshots count for everything cause with a controller you can jack up the sensitivity and do swipe across their head and pop one off at the right time, all a amtter of reaction time there. I personally prefer all gaming except PVP'ing in MMO's (Asheron's Call and Darkfall) and RTS games to be on a console

    Gameplay on a console in games such as COD are a bit slower paced and more about tactics and the like instead of who is the quickest shot in games such as CS so that's apples and oranges.

    Maybe you just suck if you can't make the split second headshots. I have absolutely no problem pulling off multiple headshots in a row in games like COD4/5 with the semiauto sniper rifles.

    Read for an explanation of why that number is so overly inflated it's ridiculous. Also, I'm 22, if I wanted insurance I could get it, same with a shitton of young people.

    The XBOX 360 controller imo is the best one to ever come out. Could you perform the dozens of different actions/moves in modern games with a snes controller? No. The 360 controller has the sticks offset which is MUCH more natural feel and orders of magnitude better than the Playstation design, the 2 triggers, 2 bumpers, and 4 buttons are also setup in a way that is extremely easy to use and very intuitive.

    I really hate it when idiots like you spout off this nonsense, as guns most certainly DID help in WW2.

    The Bielski Partisans, which the movie Defiance is based on, were real and they started with a SINGLE PISTOL.

    The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was able to hold the Wehrmacht (the german army seeing as you obviously know nothing about WW2 or combat in general) off for nearly 3 months using only pistols.

    You fail to mention one thing. 1 panzer could take out 5 shermans, 1-2 tigers could EASILY take out 10+ shermans barring their getting totally surrounded. German tech/weaponry was vastly superior on the ground, but it was honestly like in starcraft with a game of protoss vs zerg. One squad of zealots is a badass wrecking machine...but when those 12 zealots are faced with 200 zerglings they're gonna lose.

    Hitler's real problem was his paranoia induced by his addiction to methamphetamines. Had he let his generals make the war calls instead of himself, germany would have won hands down. D Day only succeeded cause noone wanted to risk being shot for waking hitler up from a nap to get him to release the panzer reserves.
