Here's the thing, you don't even have to hack any machines to throw an election. You just have to cry "foul", and then everyone gets in a tizzy about a recount. Not to mention all the dead people voting.
I saw a stat(can't remember source) that showed out of 100% of registered voters in one particular area something like 120% actually voted.
When you can create a paradox like that who cares who can hack what. And I don't think this is some sort of propaganda from some sort of special conspiracy theory group. I grew up in Lake County, Indiana, and dead people voting has happened many times in my lifetime there.
It's meaning was dramatically narrowed in 1928 when the psychologist Partridge redefined it to mean people who were anti-social, egocentric, manipulative etc.
well hell, I'm all those things. And I knew a psych student who (as all psych students do, diagnose those around them) was kind enough(sarcasm) to proclaim me a sociopath.
I don't know if I am or not, and really don't care cause knowing doesn't change anything.
What I do know is that when I was about 6 or so I had a convo with myself about why other peoples feeling should matter, and chose to operate as if they did matter, as an aid to fitting in. Oh, how wonderful that turned out. Sociopath or not, I sure have a hard time with social and interpersonal interaction and relationships.
But I've never commited any major crimes(speeding doesn't count) and can't see myself hurting an innocent without remorse.
lol, you sir, are correct. It's a function where x = 3, y = 7, 3 is the universal number for scotch whiskey, and 7 is the universal number for the coolest man alive(thats me), and I was all sorts of high on some "3". I believe it looks like this
x + y = lack of brain function
Actually it's more like 3.2 mil or so, depending on breakfast.
Although, I'm pretty sure I could hear her nagging from orbit. Do you think she'd get cell reception up there? Maybe I could just send myself, and "forget" my phone.
I flew one way to NYC for vacation thinking I could use it as a free ride home. When they called my wife to confirm she would accept me in she said "no way, the bastard is your problem now!"
I've never served, or even left the country for that matter. But my Grandfather(X2), Uncle, Father-in Law, Sister-in-Law, and many, many, many friends have, and for sure the average non-military American has no idea whatsoever, true.
But think of it this way, you guys do what it takes to protect us, and we remind you guys of what you are out there protecting.
When is the last time you saw the Air Force fly in space? Yes, they are most likely refering to the defense of satelites but, why dont they develope some space based craft? We have already gone beyond our non-militarization of space with offensive/defensive satelites. I for one would be glad to see some organization besides NASA trying to do something useful, and more universally minded, with space.
Or maybe they are refering to things of which we know not. Just because They aren't NASA and we haven't heard about it doesn't mean they haven't researched it. Shoot, they probably have newer stuff than NASA...
The Liver is very interesting, it is one of the only parts of our body that can regenerate! I've heard that fingertips can also regenerate but I'm not sure if that's true or not.
One...of?
I'm pretty sure that there are many different parts of my body regenerating at any given time.
YES, thank you.. come to think of it, I may be mixing the memory of that book with, ummm, Isaac Asimov's Fantastic Voyage I think.., wasn't there a race for miniturization in that book? But definitely Vonnegut.
Man, I love it!! REAL AI!?!? It's like a dream come true! think of the space exploration aspects it could open up.
But.
Did any body else read this part of the article?

Is it just me, or does every one of my posts refer to space exploration? hmmm, maybe not, but still...strange
Biodiesel is just another in a long line proposed new energy sources that will never scale to point of true usefulness. The real harm done by the fads is that they distract people from the real choices that much be made. People need to stop fuzting and get serious.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like at every stage of scientific history there was someone playing the "Cool Head" advising the "youngsters"of the world that anything new in science is a "FAD" and will go away and has no value whatsoever. I say if it weren't for "FAD"'s like that no scientific progress would have been made.
I seem to remember my history books in school mentioning "FAD"'s like a. the Earth is Round b. Other planets don't revolve around the Earth after all, but around the Sun c. Medical sciences like Bathing, Disease caused by Virus and bacteria
the list goes on and on...
If we listened to people like this we would still be banging rocks at each other and painting with dung!
For biodiesel created with conventional crops the bottleneck is like you said, that there isn't enough enough aritable land on the planet to create as much biodiesel as we currently use in gasoline and diesel. Algae based biodiesel solves this problem but is significantly more expensive to produce than convientional biodiesel last time I checked
Perhaps there is enough land and perhaps not, I don't know. What I do know is that it opens up some interesting lines of thought.
Picture this: Man lands on Moon and builds a few Domes, maybe partially buried. Inside the dome we set up some farms, built to produce biodiesel, but as a bonus the plants also make Oxygen, a much needed item in our space-faring society.
Thanks to [insert scientist from future here]'s revolutionary research, biodiesel can be converted cheaply to run a deep space propulsion unit, allowing manned exploration of the Solar System using fuel created in space,sometimes shipboard, along with the food and air(efficient, eh?)
At the same time the Lichen Barrier was grown in orbit of Earth, based on the principle that lichen, a mix of algae and fungi, can survive in space for up to 2 weeks, http://www.newscientistspace.com/article.ns?id=dn8 297, and thanks again to [future scientist], the lichen can be used to produce more biofuel and medicines. As an unexpected bonus, the Lichen Barrier turns out to filter harmfull radiation from space to levels near what they would be if the Ozone layer was intact.
Ok, maybe I've read one too many Sci-Fi novels, but it's at least worth looking at, eh?
Yeah, wow, where do you shop? I can go around the corner and get a 4 pack for $1US. For that matter I've replaced 2 DVD players that went bad, but still have the same VCR and many of the same tapes from 10 years ago.
Yeah, sure, putting an age limit on the purchase of violent games isn't so bad. I mean, look how effective that is with cigs and booze and such.
But really anybody who says that video games and TV cause violent tendencies in children is retarded....really. Have you ever watched little children play, around the age of say, 3 and under?
I pretty sure my 15 month old cousin learned to hit his sister over a toy from GTA Vice City, or my infant brother thinks my falling or getting hit with a ball is funny because he saw it in Mortal Combat.
Right?
And all those violent people back in the 1800's..and 1700's...and, well, pretty much back to the beginning of time, that was because they played video games, right?
They really should have banned that Tower of Babel:Wrath of God, wow, what a violent game.

why thank you. I was standing when I wrote it, so does that make me a stand-up comedian?
This is perfect! I can just quit my job, and bet on myself. And my mom said playing games would do nothing for me.

weeellll. By my calculation, it would cost almost 800,000 to send my ex-wife.
what about making a electric toothbrush out of a dildo?
I flew one way to NYC for vacation thinking I could use it as a free ride home. When they called my wife to confirm she would accept me in she said "no way, the bastard is your problem now!"
I tried to understand this article, but my cortex deally must be mushified from all my games.

just curious, cause I would pay for a RISK game cause I love the game so much, but uh....Hasbro Employee?
YES, thank you..
come to think of it, I may be mixing the memory of that book with, ummm, Isaac Asimov's Fantastic Voyage I think.., wasn't there a race for miniturization in that book?

Hey, now we can travel to Oz at will!!
Follow the yellow brick road!
Follow the yellow brick road!
Follow the yellow brick road!
Follow follow follo...What?
Oh Sorry.
Does anybody remember an old sci-fi book that talks about how the Chinese and the Japanese created miniature armies, and tried to take over the world?
