  1. Re:Voters never really research people they vote f on How Voter Shortsightedness Skews Elections · · Score: 1

    Recently, I listened to a radiation technician go on and on that we were so lucky we didn't elect Mitt because of his 47% comment. When I asked him if the basis was true he readily admitted that Mitt was correct, but that slip-up made him look mean to the common people; sliding Obama into the nice guy column. Obama, who will then pry into the private records of his opponents (Blair Hull) and display their personal lives to the public. This is more comedic when you consider Obama's stance on his own privacy.

    Comcast is the only provider because they've convinced municipalities that it is better to take bribes than foster competition. FWIW, they're no different from the energy cartels manned by retired politicians; seemingly immune to federal and state laws of any form of transparency with public monies. I applaud anything that removes the power of bribery from the public troughs. Screw Comcast.

    Even the shallowest search of marriage laws displays their complete bias against males in any marriage arrangement. My personal feelings aside in any of these issues, if traditional marriage is thrown aside the only reasonable rule that will exist is consenting parties in any marriage relationship for the future. There is no legal basis to deny multiple men, incestuous, or any other adult marriage relationship. Your practical problem thesis for the government is the least of Ny reasonable concerns for marriage changing.

  6. Re:Here are my numbers on Will Electric Cars and Solar Power Make Gasoline and Utilities Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Most of the guys I know at work that purchased Nissan Leafs are bitching because the government won't let them hook into the federal buildings for free electricity in San Diego. Also, the realities of California driving tend to void pure electric cars viability.

    What arbitrary moral dictates TWO adults either? What evidence supports current laws against polyamorous relationships? Government has effectively stole property and subjected citizens to life in prison for polygamy. Conrad Murray murders Michael freaking Jackson and gets out of jail after two years. Polygamists that simply STATE their relationships are marriages go to jail for longer. Marriage needs to be removed from law as an unconstitutional if it cannot be completed in any form desired between consenting adults. Legal marriage rights are designed (in America) to discriminate against the male population and should be removed on the same basis, IMO.

    It's sad that no one seems to understand dynamics have changed in the last 50 years. They still expect us to be glued to the box. If buying TV was as easy as torrents, there would be no more monopolies at the city level. The day all sports starts legally streaming we will be off the cord.

    The only thing it might begin to change for me is leading to an understanding of M-theory sequence where we can get to other sections of the universe quickly (FTL?). Other than that, I don't see a ready use. But, then again, it took Thomas Crapper to get western society to flush the toilet.

    Exactly. On top of this, AT&T wishes to compete with Google as an ISP but under the guise of a telco instead. Whereas in San Diego, for instance, AT&T used their ISP status to force fair use on the existing utility conduits established by Cox and Time Warner. Seriously praying for Google to come to San Diego. Reno too for the rest of the family. :)

    No, the solution is to promote reactors that consume their fuels, or at the very least promote a system with the lowest risk policy achievable. Stop making reactors because of their weaponizing potential. Liquid Flouride Thorium Reactors come to mind.

    I have empathy for this position. My wife is 100% disabled veteran with chronic pain issues that will never go away. Hell, I live with her and take care of most of her needs. Yet, I still have no idea what she feels, though I regularly see the pain turn her into an anxiety wreck. It's a very humbling experience to watch someone you love struggle to remain that same person.

    If nine lines of code replicated in some fashion (out of presumably millions) is a copyright violation, the other companies with enough capital should launch discovery suits demanding to search every project Oracle has ever performed for any duplicate code from others' copyrights. Software copyrights should be abolished anyway.
