    oh really, where are their space stations?

  2. Re:We will be doomed if they start to self-replica on The Sci-Fi Myth of Killer Machines · · Score: 1

    resources? electricity and semiconductors? the whole world is made of the material stuff they want, and we do need smarter ways to get our electricity (already known). not seeing a death feud here

  3. Re:The nature of the Standard Model on Lepton Universality In Question, a Standard Model Assumption · · Score: 2

    the Standard Model is completely useless for describing the forces that shape and evolve the cosmos: gravitation, dark energy, dark matter. It does not explain neutrino oscillation (neutrino mass). Doesn't give reason for the observed dominance of matter over antimatter. It has a huge number of arbitrary constants not related to each other and no way to predict or give reason for there values.

    In short, it's obviously half-assed, a "cooking the books" production

    the picture of the earth from the moon clearly shows the earth is indeed flat, and also round like a plate

    Math is easy, California is near the end of their ability to pay interest on their massive credit.

    Blaming "green" laws is exactly what mainstream economists analyzing California are doing.

    I know, you're probably a patriotic resident of the land of fruits and nuts and like to think of your state as some independent super-state in the world

    hardly, about 11% of agriculture, and nothing they make can't be bought elsewhere

    no, California can't do that any more, massive amounts of bonds already issued (tens of billions of dollars worth) haven't been bought yet as investors are wise to California's plight

  11. Re:Windows XP Tablets on I Want a Kindle Killer · · Score: 1

    I've never heard of anyone who thought that. Chintz and the floral patterns used where very popular from 1920s to 1970 in the USA so most of us old folk know what Chintz is and what chintzy connotates. I've found it a worthwhile policy in life never to pander to morons, so I use words like "renege" even though doubtless there are many like a certain politician who flew off the handle one day years ago and thought it was racist word.

  12. Re:Don't worry on LAPD Gets Some Hand-Me-Down Drones From Seattle, Promises Discretion · · Score: 1

    I like how the LAPD guns down innocent people when scary events make them twitchy. spray enough bullets around, and you'll get a bad person sometimes, but it's guarenteed you'll instill fear and respect in the populace every time.

    you are silly, the maximum osha level allowed is 5,000 ppm. We won't be able to hit exceed that lofty goal to make your CO2 doomsay, sorry. But maybe we could acidify the ocean enough to make it weird with the kinds of life that would flourish in that level of carbonated saltwater. does that make you better?

    are you kidding, California is nearly bankrupt. Absurd "green" laws have made the state's resources (which could be used in a "green" way with known engineering solutions) to be increasingly off-limits and that has precipitated a slow-motion economic collapse.

    Steve did not redefine personal computing, just a designer who sponged off other's engineering accomplishments. He invented nothing, conceived nothing other than perhaps artistic case and keyboard designs.

    funny this world will never be energy starved, we've fossil fuel for centuries.

    my, my you are one naive shithead. The US military can and does slaughter women and children, it has by the hundreds of thousands in the last 15 years alone. Just as one tiny example, our troops machine gunned cars of fleeing Iraqis families, that was mainstream news.

    but there is HUGE difference in processes in tectonically active rocky planet like earth compared to garden variety sized asteroids, we have processes that make concentrated ore bodies (magmatic, hydrothermal, metamorphic shearing, and exogenous)

    that's why "mining asteroids" might not even be possible or economical without first entirely melting one down! not to say that in the FAR future that might be possible, but hardly a gateway to the planets or stars in the next century.
