So what if companies don't output any more shitty movies, music, and games? Society will not collapse. There will still be content produced, but on a much smaller scale. We don't need content.
This would be the conservative party that used soldiers dressed up as policemen to crush the miners strike? The same one that abolished the right to silence? Don't believe the hype.
I do not own a TV station or a newspaper, so no matter how I express myself, I simply cannot reach enough people. Its a waste of my energys to engage in something so futile.
They do have that right. Any property 'right' that require doors to be busted down and personal encryption keys to be demanded by threat is not a right at all.
The UK political scene is completely stagnant, and will remain so regardless of any new political parties. Having taken public choice theory as license to be as corrupt as they like, politicians have given up any pretense of public service and now do what they are told for money. Simple as that. Because this same money controls the public discourse through the media, nobody who doesn't play this game has a chance.
The system is set up to resist any change to the social order. Class mobility has collapsed, wages are down and unemployment is up. Life is increasingly wretched for the poorest whilst being increasingly comfortable for millionaires in the City. Minor political parties are not going to change any of this.
Change will not come to the UK through elections, protests or revolutions. It will come through stagnation and then collapse
Where the definition of 'terrorist cell' is up to the authorities, and in this case means 'animal rights activist'. It could mean anything according to this corrupt, overbearing government.
You know what, that could work. All you need to do is find one peadophile working for comcast and the populist bullshit might run in the right direction for a change.
I prefer the thesis that we have been visited and have been put in quarantine to avoid infecting the galaxy with this bizarre "religion" thing.
Wouldn't it be really ironic though, if Jesus had been some kind of alien emissary to test us out for contact. "OK, I'm going to go there, spread a message of peace and love, not make any direct claims to being supernatural, and see how they handle it"
I was not trying to say 'Ive done some robotics' I was trying to say 'Ive done some experiments trying to abstract robot code from the hardware' - and that is pretty much the definition of an OS, isn't it?
I never claimed to get very far down this route, and have since moved away from robotics.
And you've missed the point of what I was saying. This guy is arguing that you don't need to reinvent the wheel (or leg, or arm, or whatever) every time you program a robot. This is what I was exploring when I tried to separate the 'cerebellum' part of the robot code from the 'cerebrum' part of the code. No need to get pissy about it.
I don't think mass, in of itself, is the reason Neptune can't support life. I have a sneaking suspicious being a fucking freezing ball of gas might come into it somewhere.
Because our solar systems inventory of planets has a factor of 13 between the smallest gas giant (Uranus) and the largest rocky planet (Earth), its difficult to say what a planet of intermediate mass would be like. There is periodic talk of finding a 'super Earth' but never a 'sub Uranus'
Hopefully Kepler will give us some insights on this in the next few years.
LOL blaming 'socialism'. Hows capitalism doing at developing new energy resources and a sustainable planet, eh? Your grinding of a dated ideological axe isn't going to help anyone.
I find the speculation that "Sun may not be the ideal kind of star to nurture life, and that the Earth may not be the ideal size" ludicrous. Life is here and we've yet to find any sign of it anywhere else. It doesn't have to be "ideal", obviously it's good enough.
To start with, we do have to assume we don't occupy an unusual position in the Universe. However, that is just a useful assumption for us to go along with before the evidence starts coming in, as it is now.
Our knowledge of other stars, and of their planets, is coming along in leaps and bounds. Bear in mind, the first exoplanets were only confirmed in the 1990s. Give Kepler a couple of years and we are going to experience another leap in our knowledge.
The point is, we don't have to rest on such assumptions anymore. Why should we assume Earth is not an unusual planet, when there is strong evidence pointing towards a highly unlikely collisions in the early solar system giving rise to the Earth-Moon system as we see it today?
Your girlfriend's vagina isn't especially tight, human babies just have freakishly huge heads. The reason for this is not lack of pressure to select against dangerous births, its that the evolutionary cost/benefit equation favoured intelligence over safe childbirth.
It was a university project, an experiment to see if something worked. It wasn't an attempt to create an industry standard, just to find out if such a thing were possible.

Its not a two party system! The liberal democrats are a vital counterbalancing force with real electoral prospects!
LOL

You read that and placed me as a daily mail reader? What the fuck?
Indeed. The City still hasn't figured out you can't generate electricity with smugness.

And is there any indication that these people were dangerous bomb-wielding psychos, based on what the government is saying? No.
Yes, because most people who beat their children keep vital evidence of their activities on encrypted hard drives. Fucking retard.

You expect sanity? Restraint? What quaint concepts.
You, sir, are a grade A fucktard for that statement.
Fucking hell, that sucks for emo plumbers doesn't it?

I find that argument unconvincing personally. If you want a stabilizing influence, then life has a decent chance on certain moons of gas giants.

Goodhart's law also applies to Deities you know. A targets culture won't work on a national level, why would it work on a cosmic one?
