Comment Re: So? (Score 1) 488

Wrong-o dragon breath. China has invested nothing. The Chinese government didn't invest in anything, the .01%of a america killers invested. By way of sending our best and brightest ideas there. Sending our research there. And building there the replacement of american clean factories with polluting smog people killing cesspools. And that's better for the world?

The flicker isn't a fuse problem. The problem is that transformers and line conditioning (capacitors) are powerful enough to handle the excess power needed to start a motor. The instantly needed power creates a flicker on other used appliances. An example is the a/c restarts to keep the house cool, the lights will flicker. Some people can see the flicker, some cannot. You see not all people are the same, some peoples nerves react faster then others, their hearing is offset up or down, their attention span is different, etc... They perceive the world differently. To some the flicker is a annoyance unperceived by others.

Sorry, Amd is needed to be kept afloat by Intel. Otherwise where is the entry electronics going to come from? Yeah, you and the megas can afford the super sized shit, that needs lox cooling and nuke plant power cables, but johnny on his homework needs something to use at home, grandma to call the kids, needs clean easy to use programs, with decent usage controls. Yes the fancy chip was needed,yes, but I feel, Intel's lost grip of the public market. About two hundred is what grandma's will spend. As the price of tablets drops, watch video conferencing, see if grandmas and johnnies are connecting, the look at price points. AMD is there, not Intel.

What part of conspiracy theory don't you get? Government classifies items,like pictures ,paper and other erratta on a daily basis, and ships it to warehouses, called NARA. There you have a chance to see it if its of the right item requested. Some one forgot to destroy this before it was found. Conspricy theory just say ooo! Mr. Carter, look what I found. Sometimes its right on the mark.

Sorry you are wrong. Been busted , there was a proof of concept at the last black hat meeting. A west coast college presented it. Read about the hack several weeks ago, you should be able to buy the single by now. Yes it was conceptual, but the prior writeup sounded just like the chip and pin, along with further work on the NFC concept of card. As NFC was being introduced they were showing the weaknesses. The only one not busted so far is the encrypted transmission to the bank. But sure homeland has a backdoor, which will be its downfall sooner then later.

Boy, have we unlearned history. How about tang? Like it? We have been outside of earth, and business wants some reason to go back. Mining the asteroids anyone, low orbit hotels maybe next year for the uberfolks. We keep revisiting the same argument from the 60's, it costs too damn much to send humans to space. But to expand a robots knowledge to some experimental bad designed place with limited programmed powers is okay, then to design another experiment many further years in the future done by a select few, I think you get the point. And we don't learn a thing, and argue over the results of poorly designed questions...

Restating your argument, only those with extensive knowledge of a subject are knowledgable enough to comment? There goes /..no more articles, better get the bible out and only use that for stellar research. You build a theory by standing on the shoulders of others and learning. Modifying the past learning to open the future learning. Otherwise you shut down learning. Learning is the asking of questions. To find a reason something exists or why, or gee, that's neat. That's why science should never be "settled", that means a new dark age. Remember, the bible settled all heracy, such as science, with death. Be a heritic, live,ask, learn.

Really. Why is it that the north polar cap melts in July august? And the south polar cap, happens to gain ice during those same months? By the way did you happen to see the article about the ring of fire there? Or several years ago read the article about the newly discovered volcano's under the icecaps of the article? But no one in artic science reported those, seems they must be secret, like sub's using the noise to sit outside ports? Maybe that's why some of the ports were ice free in article areas... I wonder what else was hidden by/for a forgetful/gullible public.

Oh, but we are "fucking" up the planet. Age isn't about "green", unless you mean dollar,yen or euro. Green is keeping the planet habitable for " man": and women are included in that. Solar green is shifting money to untaxable locations and hiding it. It takes monies to clean pollution up, good science and an educated public, a are necessary. That's not in the plan for solar greens. Your tax dollars are being wasted by that little diversion called hate the world, kill the darkie, kill the white, and kill the other. That's what the real green solar agenda seems to be.
