  4. Re:Controversial paper published? on Did Land-Dwellers Emerge 65 Million Years Earlier Than Was Thought? · · Score: 1

    The thing is that this paper does not counter the Theory of Evolution, the process is not in question just the order of events and it puts forward a reasoned augment for an alternative sequence of events. As opposed to a creationist article which is science is wrong 'God did it'. Actually all creationist articles are always about no, can't, not, never, sort of like religion really.

    So you do not feel that up to 200 unguided rockets a day for a couple of weeks into your county is reason enough for a retaliatory operation?

  9. Did anyone notice: on Anonymous Attacks Israeli Websites In Response To IDF Operation In Gaza · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You notice that the rocket attacks on Israel increased as the chances of Assad winning in Syria decreased. Almost like someone wanted to get Syria off the front page.

    I don't know who you are. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my computerr go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

  14. Re:Of course it will... on Canadian Police Want New Internet Surveillance Tools · · Score: 1

    This is a bit harder in Canada since our politicians are harder to buy. Companies cannot donate to political parties or to campaigns. And we don't have anything equivalent to you super paks.

  15. C-30 will not rise from the dead. on Canadian Police Want New Internet Surveillance Tools · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The police are still pissed off that the Government basically scrapped Bill C-30 after a national outcry about it. It seems that we Canadians just did not like the idea of warrantless wire taps and that the government wanted to gain access to all our internet data stored by our ISP, again with out a warrant, and without even requiring those getting the data to be law enforcement officials. .

    It might have had something to do with the country wide revolt that was spawned when it was initially tabled and the minister refereed to all those who opposed the bill as supporters and practitioners of pedophilia.

    Cell phone radio waves are used for carrying voice. This means that they are analog in nature and are therefore sine waves. Now sine waves are by their very nature are curved. This means they are easily able to flow over and around DNA and other molecular structures such as proteins. This is not the case for digital computer WiFi EM radiation. The data computer WiFi radiation carries is digital in nature and therefore only has two values 1 and 0. This means that it is transmitted as a square wave with a flat instead of a curved leading edge. As a result it is not able to easily flow over and around a cell's DNA but rather slams into it at several hundred thousand times a second. This is like a hammer hitting a string of pearls over and over and over. Eventually the pearls and the string will break.
