    i think you woiuld be better offcatching it either before it gets to us, or as it does. Than you work on sending it past the sun, slowing it down and shifting its trajectory as it comes back towards earth

  5. Re:Inmates aren't stuck doing only one thing... on Court To Prisoner: No Xbox 360 For You · · Score: 1

    agreed, i mean i dont REALLY think GTA is the right game for someone in prison, maybe zelda or fable or...well lets be real, anything that isnt GTA lol, but they should be learning to read, there is no good reason that someone in prison shouldnt know how to read (theres no reason someone older than 5 shouldnt know how to read but i digress.)

  6. Re:Inmates and entertainment on Court To Prisoner: No Xbox 360 For You · · Score: 1

    well if they are illiterate...maybe they should take that time to learn to, you know, read? than maybe they can get a job and not be a criminal when they get out? or you know, we could let them beat hoes and shoot cops playing GTA, not that I am against the idea of granting rewards to good inmates, im just saying

    or, put the xbox in an enclosure that only allows physical access to the power button, the sync controller button and the cd tray. That way the inmate has no physical access to the box itself. Than simply use the older 360s that do not have built in wifi, no problems.

    the point is the OS, the OS is what we are talking about. if you want IOS, you are stuck with an iphone 4. if you want android, you can get it in almost any form factor. that is the concept you my friend are overlooking

  10. Re:USA against the World? on US Defunds UNESCO After Palestine Vote · · Score: 1

    I believe the point is "palestine" doesnt exist, it is a part of israel no matter how much they dont want to be., The equivalent would be if the confederate states of america in present day,2011 tried to get membership to the U.N. A lot of southerners want it to be its own country, but it doesnt make it so.

  11. Re:High-end models? on Samsung Takes the Lead In the Smartphone Market · · Score: 1

    That really doesnt make any sense, by that logic if i want the internals on an iphone 4, i can only get it on an iphone 4. I think the point is the same as it always is with apple. If I want android (windows) I can use it on a number of different phones, While some may want a top of the line phone(gaming rig) others may want it simple (netbook) However If I want IOS, Than my only option is an Iphone. IOS 5(snow leapard) will not work on iphone 1(apple 2), android 4(windows 7) is most likely not going to run on the first batch of android phones(pentium 2)

    I can condone murder. there I said it. If you rape my sister, I have no problem with the concept of murdering you. Truthfully the only crimes on the planet I can not think of at least 1 good excuse for is rape and child abuse. murder can be excused, in my eyes, as i said in the case of child abuse (molestation) or rape, but there is no excuse for the previous

    sadly in some places there really isnt a real option. where i live i can buy verizon... oh i can buy other phones, but there is no signal at my house for anyone but verizon..and even that is spotty. So while in europe that may not be the case where everything is closer together, where we are more rural it makes your choices limited.

    no, i see it is possible, I guess I just prefer that any company we give money to...not be set up in other countries period. Makes it too easy to move money around, whether it looks like its happening or not

    in that case my good sir I do get your point, you prefer a "fair tax" you want people to pay a tax rate proportionate to their % of wealth. Im not totally against that idea either, its a lot more complecated than other alternatives, im not sure whats best, but that is much better than what we got now

    so than what you are saying is that the bottom 42% of americans who dont pay any federal taxes, but use the roads, and the schools, and the wireless spectrum, and the bridges should be paying more into the federal taxes correct? They are benefiting from all those things, yet they dont pay any of the cost. I mean you said
    Who accrues the benefit should pay the cost.

  24. Re:Subsidies inflate pricing. on Ron Paul Wants To End the Federal Student Loan Program · · Score: 1

    yes.. the inverse is what happened when student loans were taken on by the government. Housing costs rose when loans were more easily given out to those who couldnt really afford it, and prices grew exponentially. Now I cannot prove that the inverse will happen when and if we change it back, however you can the that the cause of high prices are directly tied into the guarantee by the feds that schools would get paid.

  25. Re:Subsidies inflate pricing. on Ron Paul Wants To End the Federal Student Loan Program · · Score: 1

    wow, way to miss what I was saying. of course it would be on the open market, however it adds competition and as such the prices would fall. Some people speculate we have more oil and natural gas under the US than in the middle east. they are more than enough to cover our needs AT THE TIME. WHILE we are researching and refining new tech.

    There is no reason to artificially manipulate the oil market so push people to use clean fuels, when they are financially viable, people will make the switch on their own. The government didnt force the horse and buggy out of business to make people drive cars, their time was up after ford made cars affordable. Give the tech time to mature, but dont cut off the oil teat until that time comes is my point.
