Moooooh....

Snowden is where...?
The asylum request was granted as a decoy, probably?

...the subject is looking at a picture..?

Fermentation is the first step to happiness. The fist effect, probably was euphoria. Nobody give'd a fuck about "beneficial effects"or food preservation. That was probably an effect noticed by the women who cleaned after the drinking parties of idiot men.

Sorry guys. It was a counterfit iPhone. At the Chinese Space Agency nobody got the diference...

Hummm, so when we get the electronic crash button?

Hmm, second hand Tesla? With the original battery pack? An how much life-time will that get?
With a new battery pack and the usual up to date maintenance issues (brakes, suspensions and the likes) the car will be living a lot more than a internal combustion car. Don't know what a 2000+Kg is doing for the suspension, and how reliable is it.

Here are two wrongs.
There is two kinds of warranties. A two years conformity warranty and at least a one year hardware product warranty. The problem is the conformity warranty. The producer warrants that the product is in conformity with the technical specs declared at sale time. In the two years interval, if some thing is not really like in the specs, the producer is liable to change the product or to pay the customer.

And this tell us that Apple lies to their customers. The product is not like in the commercial.

<quote> The socialist movement in the US owes its beginning to the horrors of capitalism. Socialism is horrible, but better than capitalism.</quote>

Hmm...
Probably you never found yourself to experience socialism (the Central Europe variant at least) first hand. I have. It sucks. BIIIIIG TIME!!!!

In fact, the single country where raw capitalism is "on line", in my opinion, is China. Yep, China.

And another problem.

If the population of China is in danger of doubling in 10 years because of immigration than USA will have a BIIIIIG problem. Until than...

Yes. And more. Much of the software used in the medical field is just overpriced klunck for which exists already an opensource solution.

A theory can be invalidated by fact and field observation? This is the end of science as we believe it.... Wait, wait, wait... But this IS real SCIENCE...

There is something to this. The mind is like a muscle. If it has no exercise its get atrophy... use it or loose it, bud...

Well you know that: "The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing" Or the IQ number is really a positive number smaller than one. We are looking at it and multiplying with 100... Ant we are not very close to the unit....

Or the carbon footprint to transport tousands of enviro protesters to Davos, or Tokio, or Washington...

Hmm... Military technology is wasteful... by design. But... any bleeding edge technology WILL have problems, and budget overshoots, and delays, and much much much controversy. This is the same problem like in exploration. Do you want to use the beaten track, be safe, never rise the head, or risk some money, and get the next technology used in some military stuff. That advanced stuff will be, probably, ominous in 20 years from now. But this in only my opinion.
