Actually Mad Cow randomly pops up now and again. Aggressive testing though limits it's affect to a couple dozen cattle as opposed to whole herds.

wait I thought that was I am Legend. no wait that was the cure for Cancer.

The problem isn't climate change. the problem is that glacier melts every 5,000 years or so. guess when it last melted? 5,000 years ago, Maybe it melted back then because the pharaohs were putting out too much CO2 with their slave labor in building the pyramids.

Is CO2 having an affect and should we try to curb it. Of course. is the planet getting warmer, Of course. Do we Want clean air to breath, of course. Those are good reasons why to clean the air. The planet however under goes constant temperature shifts. it shifts from 4 degrees colder to 4 degrees warmer every 20-40 thousand years. We don't have accurate non localized temperature maps for more than 50 years. Ice core Samples, tree samples, etc are all immediately affected by the local temperature. and we are trying to guess planetary temperature from two or maybe three locations. I am sorry but that is not statistically possible.

We will never evolve beyond internal disputes. heck 60% of all marriages end in failures do you really think we can cooperate on a national level over the long term?

The thing is over time our disputes are getting less violent. we will still have them but in another one or two hundred years we will talk them out instead of shooting. well unless we fall completely back.

I am not convinced that even aliens attacking us could get current leaders to work together.

that's just it people don't turn off wifi but companies like nordstrom run monitoring software. so whenever you enter their store they know how long you were there, what parts of the store you visited, and how often you come visit. I am surprised more companies aren't doing this as it is a quick way to track customers.

What apple has done is made this method of tracking useless. instead they will be forced to use ibeacon type technology which uses bluetooth. It also provide more accurate tracking as bluetooth is much shorter range.

except in Europe crime has gone down even farther, and they have even stricter gun laws. so how can you be right and wrong at the same time?

i would say lead in paint would be a better factor. less people would drink gasoline. but lots of kids would like the walls.

true they replaced the motor with a steam engine.

They already do that. most DRM schemes aren't infinite. Streams aren't designed to be downloaded and stored. DRM authentication servers go dark after 5-10 years.

This would at least ensure those files could be made available after the DRM servers died.

Because the earth isn't a perfect sphere or egg shape. It bulges in the middle, but it doesn't bulge evenly.

That was why the earth wobbles on its axis.

Hey it would lower property prices in silicon valley. So it wouldn't be all bad.

A nuke wouldn't be needed. Apple just needs to drop a couple of tungstan chairs.

That way they could destroy Google and one up Ballmer in one shot. With the money left over Apple could buy the Cubs for 10 billion.

So what your saying is the the GUI designers for the systems need to work instead of just slapping some labels on touch buttons in random order.

The touch control systems fail in not being easy to use. Also Most people look at the dials when adjusting them. Just to make certain they stopped at the correct location.

So looking away for a second or two isn't a big deal. navigating a menu for 6 layers deep to do something simple is. I can't wait for apple to show car companies how to do touch screen interfaces. Or at least google.

How are you driving safely with your feet no where near the brake or gas? Even with cruise control on your feet should be near both peddles and preferably trying lightly on the brake in case of an emergency stop.

Anything else means you are a bad driver. At 60mph you are traveling 88 feet per second. Even just one second Slower response time can mean the difference between life and death.

it is costing us tons. it is preventing economic recovery right now.

Businesses are dumping money into the stock market as it is growing by 20-30% annually while the "real economy" is stuck making 1%.

If those businesses were forced to invest in new products and growth instead of in the fake stock market we could get out of this mess easier.

the majority of companies are sitting on trillions of dollars worth of cash. it is just sitting there collecting dust. why aren't they investing it in the future of their company?

No they did have a written one though. some punk kids would write it down on the bones of their victims.

oddly enough it was why they theories the T-rex's were pissed off all the time. the short arms meant they couldn't even lift bro.
