  1. Re:Why do we keep talking about her? on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 1

    While I'm certainly not a Palin supporter, it needs to be pointed out that her team just tries to earn future votes by playing a target audience, mathematically, to gain a majority. I'm saying this because it seems most of the people who enjoy the train wreck and see the obvious, don't see the obvious when it comes to the target audience they are part of. You vote too. You are played by guys talking about Change and Yes we can! The more you like what they are saying, the more suspicious you should be. Remember they are trying to gain a majority by mathematical strategy. If you now think "What?! Never, that guy is so wrong!" and start to get angry by these "accusations", know that this is exactly what the other side's target audience is thinking when you criticize their guys. These guys, each side, people shouldn't fight for them anyway. Forget what they are saying for a moment, and you'll see they play the same game. Just different lizards, picking different roads to success. Where they will fight the same war against "terrorists" and their civilians. As long as people keep pointing at the other lizard while electing the other, nothing will change.

    The United States and its citizens are in no position whatsoever to talk about China's emissions, Sir. The USA is responsible for 1/3rd of the worlds emissions, snubbed Kyoto, while being lucky they aren't in a void because they would have suffocated long ago. They have been and still are the biggest burners of energy and the biggest polluters on this planet. It's ludicrous when the USA talks about other countries this way. The only thing the USA deserves is extra taxes on their products, because their greed will otherwise prevail over pollution as a matter of empirical evidence.

  11. Re:It's a reaction to MTV, not CGI. on Long Takes In the Movies, Antidote To CGI? · · Score: 1

    It's also just cheap. Next time you watch Dark Knight, which supposedly is a good movie, notice there are no two people talking on the screen at the same time. So you have for instance two people talking to each other in the script, taking a walk. Camera shows face 1 talking. Cuts to face 2 talking. Cuts to two of them walking in silence. Cuts to face 1 talking. You might see the back of the head of face 1. Etc. They won't talk together in the same shot. So, technically, they never talked, but the two actors had two separate sessions, telling their lines in succession with no context. Think of this next time you watch Dark Knight, how cheap it looks, how little chemistry there is between actors. They are all talking into a void! I guess it is much, much more expensive to have 2 microphones and sound guys, and moreover, to have all those expensive stars in the same locations all the time. I can't watch such movies any longer. It's pulp. Most of them are this way now. Only solo-acting is left.

  12. Re:Just too bad on Tide of International Science Moving Against US, EU · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yes and no. Your sig says "correlation is not causation". Yes, religious fanaticism and in general anti-intellectuals make intellect almost look suspicious at times, and this is something we should worry about. However, I'd argue that religion is stronger in India and Brazil, were science is on the up according to this report. This suggests that religion is not the defining factor. I think it has an impact on some parts of science, for example if a religion is against biotech, biotech would clearly suffer, but while these areas will be highlighted, it doesn't affect the whole of science in pure numbers in terms of productivity, because the whole dwarfs those areas. Personally, I think the problem is there is more money and respect for smart brains elsewhere, such as in finance. Perhaps not religious fanaticism is he defining factor, but greed and the lack of necessity.

  16. Re:Political Parties = "Which Industry" on Critics Call For Probe Into Google Government Ties · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yes it is big news if Google has ties with the administration, which is a good thing as we should not want that, and because some corrupted Google employers and fans think that any such criticism can be simply disposed of by pointing to an entity everyone hates, and mod such redirections as "Insightful". I'll probably be the "Troll". I guess you excuse murder, because O.J. got away with it, or, less dramatic, speeding, because not everyone gets a ticket. I find it despicable you failed to say anything about the actual corporate ties, and are only interested in battling the criticism, with stuff which is irrelevant like mentioning O.J. in a murder trial. In the meantime, I wonder if you voted Biden, and thus the RIAA into government? That would make you the ultimate hypocrite. In any case, it gets confusing. Google says vote Democrats, which means vote RIAA, but we can't criticize, because the RIAA is in government? Uhhhhmm.. make up your mind.

  18. Re:What's wrong? on Analyzing Amazon's E-Book Loan Agreement · · Score: 0, Troll

    I find your argument strange and confusing. You claim an expert opinion on this "as a writer", although one without credentials and publications.

    You attack people for stating that a creative investment that can be copied infinitely creates the problem that no one will be getting paid, and for stating the pirates just take but don't provide a solution.

    So you attack people who don't conveniently supply the solution for you, like they are you enemy, yet you don't explore any solution yourself, like the same people you attack, and the pirates. This is not their problem. It is yours.

    Mr. Writer, let me ask you specifically, if I sit behind a desk for a year and write a novel, or in fact if I do anything that can be digitally copied, how do I make a living out of sharing that work with the world? They won't buy my t-shirts. And why are you ignoring what should be the most important question for a writer? Good thing you attacked those outdated, insane visions though. Me as a self-declared yet momentarily inactive writer, painter, musician and uber creator in general, think your view is suspiciously simplistic and of one shade in a two-colored world.

    Actually, no, there is no difference between the porn industry enforcing their copyright, or a guy with a recipe that was included in some cook book. Or you are against both entities making money through copyright and tell the cook to stuff it, or you accept that both have to right to invest in a product and protect it by copyright. What is it? If you choose one way here and the other there, based on sympathy, you are an utter and complete hypocrite, and probably just a petty thief justifying himself.

    There is a funny thing about this argument, or better, about the response usually given to this argument.

    Now cue to Apple, corporate site, where they don't talk customer language but investor language. Why should I buy AAPL, according to Apple? According to Apple, because of their profit maximization. Funny, that.
