    so it's ok to make jokes about cancer or getting shot or diabetes, but AIDS is off-limits?

    Most black women get AIDS from black men who were infected while in prison by engaging in homosexual activity.

    Wrong, even the White House news release emails call it Obamacare. Ask the millions of subscribers.

    I'll agree the idea is great but the banking cartels and governments under their control (all western first world countries) are scumbags. they won't let it endure.

    that project is in alpha. It is not suitable, stable or useful for running any real application, and won't be in the next five years.

    what a silly thing to say, most dollars are information in computer systems. I can send dollars far more places than bitcoin

    we have an old e-mac at home, no malware on it yet and its used to watch movies and anime on sites all over the world. try that with a windows box that has no firewall, antivirus, antiadware...

  12. Re:There is no difference.. on Microsoft's Ticking Time Bomb Is Windows XP · · Score: 1

    that's an absurdly ignorant statement. In the realm of MS Windows, there are huge differences between the desktop and server versions. Resource and user limits, management applications, and advanced internetworking applications.

    I see no proof in history that communism could even scale to the size of a town.

    in practice, people in communist countries work very hard to be in poverty.

    the rich and middle class also do that, most CFL end up in the trash, and from the landfills will eventually go into groundwater.

    false, the "heat" is mostly infrared and shines on objects in the room. And it's where the people are, compared to heating the whole damn house. and only 14% of energy is even used for lighting. your arguments just went into the realm of "statistical noise" of difference.

    most people don't even eat swordfish. however, most dead CFL (and more than half on the market are such crap) end up in landfills.

    there is a "voluntary consultation" process that Monsanto has with the FDA, which takes 3rd party test data without question, the FDA does not create its own tests.

    To answer your question, the paltry few millions are spent to give appearance of safety testing.

    absolutely false.

    Note people live in Hiroshima and Nagasaki for decades after the bombs dropped. Note U.S. not afraid to send in troops soon after. why? One of the deciding factors for air burst was that there would be no worries of lingering contamination for U.S. troops. Note levels of radiation in those cities are same as background.

    fact: all radiation deaths in Japan from nuclear bombs were from prompt exposure only. other deaths due to burns and injuries. look it up. no deaths from falllout, as there wasn't any.
