Neocons and pro military americans are despised. Capitalist conservatives aren't dismissed nor are libertarians. Free speech is freely talked about. And it isn't about 'defending the racist fuckers', it is about fomenting hatred and violence. If there is a good chance that one persons words will lead to deaths or widespread hatred/fear/chaos then you have to ask whether or not it is worth it. (I'm on the fence for extreme examples of this)
So yeas everywhere has a range from the median that you can freely talk about. The European median is further left of course than the US. But is the range wider? Does it matter that much?
Ah, yeah... multi stage light gas guns are more complex for sure (VS rail guns). But rockets have to be 'self propelling', that always will add a huge amount of complexity. Also for repeated launches you need to build dozens of these super complex things, you need them to also survive re-entry. Carrying your own fuel explosive fuel at that is also an issue.
So the complexities we don't know (guns) may be less than the ones we are used to (rockets).
People don't care about science its not exciting it isn't on the minds of the people. This results in a collapse in funding. Inspiration directly effects funding, funding directly effects science done.
Not that complicated... Really we should be sending people to mars purely for the drama and interest in space it'd cause.
NASA is also looking to Space X for resupplying. (Much more exciting company than the Russians). On that note, their first launch of the falcon 9 rocket is scheduled for February 2nd.:D
You joke but if costs come down getting fired into mars or the sun or w/e you like could be feasible as a ceremonial funeral, post cremation you wouldn't cost tooo much to ship.
I'm sure people will do it, hell I'd be interested.
Which is pretty damn silly because a gun that you build into a mountain and can't aim AT ALL probably isn't that worrisome. Likely he was killed for other work.
One thing I noticed was when you get something from Windows live including MSN messenger, movie maker or like 15 other products. Is that towards the end of the install it offers to make bing the default search provider and ("make it impossible for this to be changed back"). Which seemed a bit worrisome. I mean, it was easy to un-check but still.
I'd like to point out that for the people giving the orders. The ones deciding to go to war we have even MORE distance than predator drones and such. So I doubt going fully automated will change much at all. Hell in North American news we generally don't show real battles or real killings because it is too brutal... But being in a democracy I think these are things people NEED to be seeing. (When we do see corpses it is usually only of our own to increase support)
Declining to comment on the silly lynching plan... You've got no chance in hell winning a law suit. There is no way to PROVE the corn is what caused your liver failure w/e. It damages millions of people just a little bit. Like second hand smoke.... Or factory/power plant pollution... I can't go sue the local steel plant because I have asthma.. though it was likely a huge contributor.
What you would do if you got enough mad people is force a law to be made that shut them down.... Which is somehow socialist/evil. And no longer a 'free market'.
Capitalism is a great and powerful force. Competition is an amazing thing that makes companies very efficient. The goal should be for the government to point this power and wield it. That way the companies work to our advantage not against us for their own advantage. Set rules and frameworks in which capitalism can prosper in a way advantaging the populace, Simple.
"Extremists and radicals of any color do ridiculous shit, they don't really belong to the group they are radicals from (hence the name)."
Only sort of... excessive philanthropists aren't dangerous, nor are excessive programmers or excessive plenty of things. Because they aren't dangerous they are excessive not extremist. The things you hear about extremists in are generally doing excessive BAD things... because a lot of a bad thing is really shitty.
This is because radicalism/extremism is seen from our point of view. Radicals are people so obsessed with something that we decide it is bad. For example, to be a radical a Buddhist would have to be REALLY REALLY extreme to start doing crazy shit. But to be a radical muslim or christian it takes a lot less. Hell, just following the bible word for word would likely get you put in jail fairly quickly.
As an atheist you'd have to be pretty damn crazy and pretty damn excessive to get the radical or extremist title. That is because unlike religions it doesn't lend its self as directly to crazies or what we'd call undesirable behavior. Atheist tenants are like... try to better understand the workings of the universe... don't believe demonstrably false shit or stuff that is unprovable... Excess of these things aren't as dangerous as... believing there is a magical man that will forgive you and bring you joy if you worship him and ask for apologies. That demons are real, magic is cause of the devil... so on and so on.

We already know that Doohan is going to pick up one of these babies, get it working again to save spike with. duhhh....
Also, at that shipping price it is way easier to buy land right beside NASA...
Who would set it up as foot.shoot() instead of shoot(foot), that's just silly.

In communist Russia the government controls the corporations.

Natalie Portman.
I agree completely... but I'm a /.er, Joe thinks that dioxygen is for nerds and makes them want to punch things or push people into lockers.

The 3cm shot tells me they aren't up to scale quite yet...
You mean 11.2km/s ... You'd think we'd have learned about using non-metric in space.
The original space gun developed by gerald bull was actually for this purpose.
The guns are hilariously complex. After getting the basics down they are much much simpler than multistage rockets.

Why? Having it travel around would be kinda neat... I mean, it complicates getting into but different countries get access to it easier.

We kill less now than we did back then... even with the ease of doing so we have today, thats a good thing.
So? I don't see what that has to do with the usability... Just charge them like you would people watching tv in their car..

I'm willing to bet the 10Mb/s or so would also be an issue.

I'm ok with having the mods reminded of these things on occasion... it doesn't hurt.
