  2. Or....... on Ocean Energy Tech To Be Tested Off Australian Coast · · Score: 1

    Someone could help me with my gravity mill and have free power for the mechanical limits of the machine itself.

    Yeah, but you can't compare apples to oranges. Congressional constituents are considered single celled amoeba. They are just about as likely to eat one another as do anything productive. Marrow cells on the other hand.....

    Well in observance to the original OP, to observe most quantum entanglement effects its on a microscopic scale and extremely cold so..... You both have to be in the same cold room to observe the single event. I deduce you probably have those chills and not chills at the same time for a reason.

  7. I don't see a problem with it. on Anonymous Threatens Robin Hood Attacks Against Banks · · Score: 1

    If you haven't been watching the market, all this stuff is pretty well practiced. With the super high highs and the low lows there is a lot of speculation going on and. By golly doesn't it seem as if its planned. I say let em. It's better than breaking into a bank and shooting people. Furthermore, no body gets to see inside the brothel until you either pay up, or burn the house down. I will say this, as someone who classifies himself as poor, I'm not really affected (yet) by all this grandstanding, so I'm not worried.

  8. Re:Hello on Palantir, the War On Terror's Secret Weapon · · Score: 1

    All of that is really easier than deciding not to use economic warfare to push other nations around? It's easier than not using our intelligence agencies to overthrow elected governments and replace them with dictators who play ball with us?

    Which they will continue to do, whether the DB actually worked or not. They would never give up the capacity that they have now.

    So not being a coward makes one a hardcore libertarian? Or being observant enough to recognize the problems with the government's brand of "security" and the way it's always sold in terms of fear requires a particular political philosophy? See this is the problem with politics. Everyone wants to be a member of some team and then it's a "go team go!" mentality instead of starting with the facts, a good understanding of history, and proceeding from there. I'm happy to dismantle every program like this and then take my chances of dying in a terrorist attack. I'm more likely to get struck by lightning but I'll chance that too, even without a portable Faraday cage.

  11. Re:How about not destroying earth? on Human Survival Depends On Space Exploration, Says Hawking · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I'm already paying homage to the next great thinker in the world. You might as well get used to it because you're going to be begging a computer to let you live some day (and that's fine by me). On the other hand, wouldn't it just be nicer if you asked it to help you out? You're modeling of us going anywhere is based on the current theologies of today. Wake up the next day, and the world is about to come to an end, do you not think in a few years a consortium could find the answers to all these over burdening problems your posting? I believe so. And basically, without getting to graphic, its why I haven't shot my neighbor (metaphorically). If you can unify all of us, humans and computers, there isn't anything we can't do. So, in the end, I think this really does boil down to the difference in attitude. You are a 'Nope can't do it, ever, I know', and I'm a 'Yep, I don't know where we're goin but we can.'

  12. Re:How about not destroying earth? on Human Survival Depends On Space Exploration, Says Hawking · · Score: 1

    You make lots of valid arguments so I ask you, "Does this stroke your ego?". There have always been people who have said 'The cost is to high' no matter what you do. Hell, my boss does that about 3d modeling parts for advertisement or fixing a machine that doesn't get used often but has paid for itself already. The person who sits on his hands evaluating how much any move 'costs' will never get anywhere. Period. Particularly, the US is always concerned with cost, and you will never experience true research and science until you sweat on a project. Lets go to the stars friend. Your point at the beginning? Look, the more and more people are socialized on an individual level with devices like smartphones, etc, the more difficult it will become for people to remain disconnected from the will of the people. Not will of the government, not will of the Dimlluminati, not will of predators and aliens, but will of the people. That is the struggle you see happening right now. Governments/companies really do not enjoy freedom of information. They are trying to discredit it, and slowly throw the raps back on it and shove it back in the closet with little devices like throttling, filtering, regionalization, anti p2p, etc. That's your cat in the bag. So, I have a better idea, why don't you just leave this stuff behind for these gluttons on earth? They want it? They can have it. There is far more promise in the unknown than the know. You have to agree with that.

  13. Is this news? on Human Survival Depends On Space Exploration, Says Hawking · · Score: 1

    So, it takes a Hawking to tell the world about this? I mean, how many common sense people have already known this since ecology, history, and sociology classes in high school? I hate the word spread (waxing 'The Matrix' where Hue compares humans to virII). How bout a shift to 'develop'? This is as bad as a couple years ago when Madonna 'discovered' starving children in Africa and made it her point to publicize it. I think its about time we started asking ourselves who our leaders really are, and who started calling them leaders. I mean, haven't you noticed with all the funding and money being spent on advanced physics, that it really doesn't end up in the end user's hands? We are paying these people to think they are great thinkers. Yes, lets colonize space. Duh....

    Yes, and the French will finally be good for something more than just a really cool jet and romance. Paying for everyone's music downloads! Thanks France! I wonder if we could route all our purchases through their country, and they could pay the US state internet tax, also. (shifts eyes side to side) Hehhehe

  15. After reading several posts I can say on Ask Slashdot: Crowdfunding For Science — Can It Succeed? · · Score: 1

    I always knew ./ as depressing. And I'm completely right. Have you ever just happenstancley (I crowd sourced to get funding to coin that word) slid over to kickstarter? There's some pretty cool excretion over there. Crowdsourcing is fun, and I'd say it would be even more fun if you could ask questions, make suggestions (even if they never get read) about the experiment in progress. I have more faith in that, than the crap doled out from industry today. But you slashdotters, OMG. Bitchingest bunch of people I've ever read. Every one of you thinks you're an expert in every field. Hahaha. (get Jimmy Wales behind em and they think they know everything) I'll digress... There is an new 'pyramid' scam out there, I'll spare you the name. But it proves one thing. You don't need a product. You don't need results. And they will tell you "You don't need to do a thing to make money." All you need are people who will send you money. Guess what? There are people that will. I'd rather send my money to this. Thanks. Hey SciFund, here I come!

  16. I've been ridiculed by best buy on Ask Slashdot: Linux Support In Universities? · · Score: 2

    Yep, wanted to buy computer. I was looking for a specific model and asked them if I could get the rebate by having windows uninstalled. Can you believe, the guy says, "Why would you want to ruin your computer by doing that?" I told him that I would rather have some distro of a linux os on it. Like Debian. He responded by 'educating' on why windows is so much better. And since apparently he had 'personal knowledge' of Debian he said that the performance of a linux distro would never match the performance of a venerable OS like... gasp.... VISTA! The truth is the same now as it always has been. People who don't understand something always think its worthless by default.

Aside from the myriads of other mounting reasons to go into space, inhabitation and posterity seem to be pretty damn good motives. A goal like this is massive, and requires many disciplines and industries. Not to mention just giving this country some direction.

    Linux distros need exposure. 10g of exposure? Not to bad. It brings a tear to my eye to say that Linux will never supplant WinBlows however. Most people purchasing a computer never factor the cost of the OS because as far as they are concerned its part of the PC. All they want is the thing to turn on, boot up, get to the internet and surf porn and bit torrents. To bad really.
