  1. Many ways to skin a cat. REALLY? on Solar Roadways Get DoT Funding · · Score: 1

    Technology im much more interested in would be something like using thermal-eletric device plates concreted into road ways. As one person mentioned earlier black asphalt roads tend to get very warm. and the ground underneath somewhat cool. You could get a nice amount of current over and extremely large area like that. And you would'nt have to radicly change the way you construct your roads. Or an even more bold and interesting idea is to use pressure plates that when pressed on by overpassing vehicles would produce a decent amount of energy as well. or maybe both? Oh and neither of these technologies would be anywhere near as prone to damages or breakdown because they are baked in so to speak.

    Thats funny you should say its an interpretation let alone VERY! I did'nt give an interpretation i just read it verbatim. Unless your talking about the KJV translation. I have to agree with several of the people that have replied to this thread that it is'nt to be takin just in a literal since. Though I see that also as being a realistic possibility if not probability. The right hand or the forehead is actually a good place to put a thermal activated chip because those two locations are excellent for heat. Also i dont remember saying anything about bar codes. In fact im quite certain this exact sytem were discussing here is not THE mark of the beast system. Only that these push's by primarily corporations, but soon government is purposeful to wittle us down into accepting such notions into the future. To provide a little bit of apology concerning my christianity. Just a few centuries ago many christians did'nt like the idea of doctors or surgery. Due to christian ideals concerning gods will. Over time the theological groups have managed to reconcile certain understandings concerning that. However there are certain things such as this topic which i dont believe should be reconciled. Im not merely against these things because of something i read in a book thats 2000 years old. But because this is obviously nothing more than a system of control against a people that are supposed to be increasingly free and trusted. After all is'nt the intelligent and logical society also supposed to be the moral and ethical one too?

    Im a christian, And i should hope any other person who considers themselves a christian would see this stuff for what it really is. Just another step toward a mark of the beast system.

    Revelation 13:16-17 (King James Version)
      16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
      17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

  4. Possibilites are endless. on Speed of Light Exceeded? · · Score: 1

    Guy's we should not forget that relativiy is actually just a THEORY not a fact. And in quantum mechanics we deal with the inconsistencies of relativity on a daily basis (just look at quantum mechanics superposition). While we dont comprehend the feasibility of time/space altering we must not all together consider it impossible. Time and time again scientists believe things unlikely or impossible, later on only to realize they simply did not consider everything because they did'nt have all the facts. We are pushing the limits of relativity. If we lock ourselves down to unquantifiable theories we will never progress. All people of logic would say they know the universe in unified in its physics and forces. Yet relativity and quantum mechanics are constantly arguing on the most fundamental things. one of my favorite quotes form einstein is "the universe is just an illusion. Albeit a highly persistent one" This guy was a dreamer, and look at what he acheived. I think more of us should be dreamers like that.

  5. Corporate Propaganda on Microsoft Launches Comical Effort to Fight Piracy · · Score: 1

    I just got through watching the first episode up on microsoft's web site. I just love how randall mentions that the site where all this WAREZ he found by reading a BLOG. With all the all the ganda going on in government around political blogging it's no surprise that corporations have decided to attack as well.Is it just me or does randall kinda look like a young mitnick? People need to let microsoft know this sort of blatant ganda does not go unrecognized. Im just wondering where they are gonna be presenting this crap? A corporate conference near you? Schools? Local best buy training centers? Next thing were gonna start seeing is computer oriented versions of Blood on the Highway. Goes something like "Thats right timmy. So the next time you are thinking about pirating music or software. You might as well be putting a gun to a developer or musicians head. So unless you wanna kill dont be a PIRATE!"

  6. Re:Truth always requires faith... on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    I could point out multiple ways in which faith is a permanent aspect of all of mans dealings. And is a necessary aspect of mans consciousness. Faith in essence could be synonymous with knowledge. In that no matter the quality or quantity of mans knowledge, ultimately all things that are known change. Its a constant. And like all change it has a rippling effect that reachs to all aspects of creation. Man has faith in his knowledge, not because knowledge is perfect, but because it is not. That is essentialy mans capability to adapt and build upon what is already there. A perfect example of the material universes chaotic nature is found in quantum mechanics. Albert Einstein Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

  7. Re:Evolution as {diety}'s process? on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes your absolutly correct on your argument. In the New Testament II Peter 3:8, NIV "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." This shows clearly when were looking in the bible things are not always face value. Now please distinguish that I am not trying to say that instead it was 7000 years in all of creation as some might think. Instead im simply saying that much of the old testament (referring to genesis and creation) is highly shrouded in mystery for many different reasons and deffinitly CANNOT be considered at all times for face value. Especially the first 5 books of the bible. The Pentateuch written by Moses. Where within we find many peices of information where improperly interpreted can lead to utterly useless findings. The seven days of creation are meant to be a symbolic representation of a series creationary periods. Leading up to the current human development phase.

    Heres how it goes.

    First day : According to judao<christian writing says that God created both the universe (IE the Heavens) and the earth. And the star that we revolve around. Now it is not exactly clear whether he created the earth and its star at the same time or after one another.

    Second day : We have the setup of the planet. (IE God divides the waters of the earth and creates the multiple layers of atmosphere. This ultimately concerns making the planet a somewhat habitable one (atleast for some kinds of life).

    Third day : Things dont progress so rapidly, but still keeping pace, just on a microcosmic scale. God further divides up the planet layers into not only the many atmospheres, but also land and sea (This is'nt to say those facets of the planet did not exist at all before this, but instead they were not revealed up until this point). Once more he begins the creation of plant life in all its seperate phylums (trees, grass, etc) deffinitly seperate and simultaneous evolution of plant life. This is to be the beginning of all life on the planet (We can yet again through inference take this to mean the creation of micro-organisms.

    Fourth day : This is an interesting day to study, because it is barely a creationary day. God further refines the state of the planets ecosystem, much like the second day he starts with the atmosphere, by clearing up the atmosphere he finally allows the sun and moon and stars to be seen. meaning the earth is'nt a soup of thick layers concealing the stary expanse anymore. This day also starts the beginning of the calender of existance. Meaning days before this could have been indeterminatly long.

    Fifth day : I find it interesting to note that at this point in creation the first animals according to genesis come from water and air not necessarily land. Though yet again by implication also land dwellers. (this clearly states according to judao christian concept, multiple species of animal of all kind developing seperately and at or almost at the same time(this is completely like the different kinds of plant life god created in the third day).

    Sixth day : This is a long day god creates the fullness of the body of land dwellers. Afterwards the creation of Humans. While the creation of the land dwellers is not so much different in concept than the plant life of the third day, or the fish & fowl of the fifth day. Humans are notable different in that god decides to not only create a species called man. He decides that this species unlike all others would be in his image. Image could be mean look physicly similar to the creator, or it could be a symbollic reference to the higher aspect of mans intellect undeveloped in any other species.

    Seventh on : this day God finally rests and all of the beginning works of creation are complete. this officially ends the active role of God in the creation of the universe. One could take to mean that Gods rest represents God putting himself into a inactive role or atleast, primarily inactive role in the planets further evolution. This allows
