Comment Re:Just replace the word "information" with "porn" (Score 1) 256

If that is what it means, y'all need a better way of saying it. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

"Information" does not have wants and desires. It is confusing as hell to keep saying "Information wants..." I have no idea WTF that means and I don't think everybody interprets it the same way as you, so as far as a communication goes, it is an epic fail.

We have had a central banking "system" since 1913 consisting of a group of privately owned banks. It controls the price and supply of money, just like in the Soviet Union. Corporate Socialism is still socialism. Social Security is the definition of a Ponzi scheme, so I don't know if that qualifies as socialism. Medicare and Medicaid are already socialized medicine. The tax laws giving people "entitlements" is socialism (do you think there is free market capitalism in the US? That's funny, but a little sad too.). The income tax is theft in the name of socialism, because people in Washington will do better with it than the market would have done on it's own. Right or wrong, it certainly isn't a free market...

"The user only CARES about THEIR STUFF! Okay? Who gives a rat's fart if the system is fine if all your stuff is completely hosed? NOBODY, that's who!"

This is just plain wrong. Of the people's computers I've gone to repair (reinstall Windows), half of them have said "nothing" when I ask them if there is anything on it they need to save. So, while I can't say 100% don't care, your quote about 100% caring about "their stuff" is just plain bullshit. Half the people just want to surf the web and check their web mail.

Comment Re:Just because the math works doesn't mean it's t (Score 5, Funny) 650

The one funny thing about the way the majority of people use math, "close does count", until you get to a certain advanced point. Then we say "this works for all but a few special cases... close enough"

Obviously Newtonian gravity is much more understandable to your average person than say general relativity and also offers a good aproximation of expected behaviors of the physical world.

I'd say there is a good chance it is all one Unified Field. When including torque in Einstein's equations (and not assuming you are locked on the spinning object), this guy's solution works from the micro to the macro. Check it out.

...So, what it really says to me, as that people who are interested in reading enough to go out and buy a $200-$400 device to read books on read more books than people who aren't interested enough in reading to spend $200-$400 on a device to read books on....

It says they BUY more 3.1 times more books. It does NOT say that they read them.
