  1. Re:Why is it so hard for people to understand? on Planck Telescope Is Coolest Spacecraft Ever · · Score: 1

    you're right, and that would imply more models,,,

  2. Re:Why is it so hard for people to understand? on Planck Telescope Is Coolest Spacecraft Ever · · Score: 1

    false, that is just one model of what the "big bang" is, there are many more, some with time extending before the big bang. as soon as you start running off at the mouth about "space-time" you show yourself to be constrained to variations of the G.R. model. There are more models than you have pairs of socks.

  3. Re:Why is it so hard for people to understand? on Planck Telescope Is Coolest Spacecraft Ever · · Score: 1

    why is it so hard for you to understand there are many models of the universe, there are those that have events before the big bang, including an endless sequence of big bangs.

  4. Re:Only honest discussions are useful. on Hawking Says Humans Have Entered a New Stage of Evolution · · Score: 1

    Now there are some funny words, written in an alphabet which like almost all other alphabets in the world, are derived from one used in North Africa. We can trace western science and math to a point outside of the west, that North African civilization. They electroplated jewelry, made a steam engine, made our basic measurements of time, did quartic equations and decimal arithmetic. And at the other end of Africa, in the far south, there was another advanced civilization far older than any greek one, even though the europeans that discovered it thought it was some long forgotten european colony, since those Africans couldn't have made it.

    really, I has born in the early 60s and mention was made in public school before 7th grade Jefferson fathered children by his enslaved women.

    what a coincidence, I too once was in D.C. in a big marble building and had the same thought about pouring molten aluminum into obnoxious holes atop caverns festering with evil and spewing forth pestilence. Those weren't ant holes, but a pair of a-holes.

    so they upload when lines restored. that'll be the exception not the rule. my farm relatives are all on the net, btw, some go into town and use the library's machines for bandwidth intensive stuff.

  11. Re:Really? on US Sets Up Emergency Multi-Band Radio Project · · Score: 1

    actually, box cutters lost their effectiveness after that day. anyone trying that shit again would be physically mob rendered like a pig at a slaughterhouse. talk and reason with hijackers was the thinking before sept 11, foolish since a hijacker is by definition someone who is threatening death. best to just assume they intend the worst and proceed on that basis.

    feeder funds. already they are being investigated and people subpoenaed. knowing their actions or not, thousands were involved. a market scam on the order of billions moves markets, millions of affected people is no exaggeration

    bullshit sob story. I have plenty of relatives with livestock. they all without exception have working POTS lines. even at 14.4K the very minute amount of data to be uploaded would go in less than a minute. internet for text is available everywhere, even on the lazy-R ranch.

  14. Re:Free? How do they do the math? on Most Complete Topographical Map of Earth Complete · · Score: 1

    that is a fallacy, thinking that the national debt will ever be paid. we passed the tipping point for that under Bush, and Obama was on board with such nonsense then and of course has continued digging a deeper hole

    millions of people care very much, they lost a significant chunk of their retirement account because of this fraudster and the hundreds (if not thousands) who helped his scam.

    you must be very, very young if you think the transgressions and abuses you describe started in turn of the 21st century. You could at least go back to World War I if you're too lazy to look at events in the 19th century.

  20. Re:Poll results on News Sites Slammed By Michael Jackson Traffic · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    good grief, by any serious consideration of musical talent he was nothing special, made no new contribution to the arts. Hype and marketing success story, sure. But being almost the same age as MJ I can tell you neither I nor any of my friends growing up cared for his music, especially as he spent half his life being a weirdo.

    agreed. and if you listen to the 35,000 year old flute music backwards, you can hear satanic incantations hidden by "backwards boneflute masking"

    I"m well aware of the history, but you mistakenly believe a wikipedia entry, which can say whatever the last clueless kid leaves on it. a few people at CIA didn't and don't have the power to effect a regime change in a country like Iran, they only had a group which aided a native movement.

    bullshit, we can also be for fucking around with the oppressive governments and political processes in all those other places too.

  24. Re:Ummm on Could We Beam Broadband Internet Into Iran? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    you read that in a book somewhere, or just have general u.s. chip on shoulder? Reality was a bit different, sure British and U.S. intelligence helped Shah, but the main people who put the Shah (back into) power were loyal factions of Iranian military and those Iranians who would profit from monetizing Irans oil in western market. In other words, the primary fault for putting the Shah into power lies with certain Iranians.

    Also, the Shah did make some social improvements, including women's rights, education. The charge that he was brutal depended on whether you were in groups of his enemies, were the Q'oran thumping whackjobs who opposed or replaced him any better?
