a typical gas station and 'pump' between 2-20 cars. 1000 cars is thus 500 to 50 stations. power demand for electric cars 'fast charging' is going to be difficult, replaceable battery packs and smart grid regulated slow and fast charging fixes the problem. but we aren't going to sell a half billion electric cars.

"Back to the discussion..."

the summary is -1 flamebait. it's only link is to another slashdot article, and thus all the 'wtf didn't the editors read the link' stuff.

scott walker has busted numerous work unions, taken the right to vote away from women and the poor. through unreasonable requirements. before a state id or drivers license was fine, not so anymore. when a person changes their name they need the official marriage or divorce paperwork the certified change documents and that is for every marriage and every divorce no matter when it was. and everyone needs their birth certificate to vote. knowledge of this isn't exactly out there to everyone, and getting replacements isn't cheap or easy, so with the feds lowering food share by $15 per person per household that may mean the difference between eating a meal or voting. this is not right. i only know because my aunt had to have this just to renew her drivers license and had to go a second time with all her divorce and marriage paperwork.

firefox doesn't have instability problems. i have been using it almost since day 1. i have had problems with streaming under linux. i don't know if it is linux, my wifi router, or what, but firefox is rock solid, and other browsers (opera, chromium) exhibit the same linux problem. firefox is perfectly stable on windows, even for streaming. then again i use noscript, WoT, and ghostery. and while chrome has plugins like those i am familiar and comfortable with the firefox versions.

this will never happen. directv was the company that found out people were hacking their hardware to get everything and sent updates to fry the chips inside countless dishes because they were only paying for a small package and getting everything else including ppv for free.

it fits in to conspiracy, but it is truth.

aids is discovered, blown off as 'gay disease'
smoking, drinking guy is told he has hiv which causes aids and has 30 days to live.
not willing to go, he spends a day researching and discovers a 'new' drug for hiv, which was formerly a cancer cure, but failed in trials. he can't get it legally, so he has a guy steal the pills for him, when they start locking the pills up guy goes to mexico, where a doctor refuses to give him the drug as it is 'too toxic for human consumption' but proceeds to treat him until he feels better.
the doc hooks him up with 'natural' treatments for improving immune health. then the guy convinces doc to let him sell the stuff, even though it is illegal to sell 'cures' that aren't 'government approved' the cure is mostly vitamins, and known immune boosting meds. so, the guy has smuggled in cures but gets inspected and said most of it is vitamins, he cons his way back. word gets around and many people with aids come for his cure, as the trend grows there are problems with the law, but they then become a 'buyers club' $400 to 'get in' and they can take a supply of meds which costs nothing. they begin trying other promising anti hiv meds as well, as they grow, they run into trouble and have to change location and finally they get their day in court and judge agrees he breaks no laws by taking non approved meds, because he is a 'terminally ill' person. after 12 years or so (i forgot the exact) he dies of aids, when the initial doc only gave him 30 days to live.
a side note the 'toxic' cure is pushed through trials and it is clear they are behind trying to shut the buyers club down, and there is a confrontation about the right way to treat people, 'with a dangerous pill from a company that has spent millions and is not caring if people get better or not, and that the govt only cares about the palms the company greased when it was found too toxic to cure cancer.

thanks, i was trying to find the words for a one paragraph summary of the first two of four episodes. not my own stance but rather what portrayed in the video, sorry should have mentioned that. i know people aren't fundamentally evil, i have watched several little ones grow up, and the younger they are the less evil they appear, people in general have a wide variance of evil but all evil was 'learned' behaviors. i myself struggle with evil, but the less evil thoughts i have the less unhappy i am in life. i for a long time just did whatever, and mostly it was 'waste time' and be emo. at the time i kinda worked to have high karma posts on slashdot, as if that made me happy.

saw first two episodes. basically humans are fundamentally evil, the more stress a person has the more evil they become. our leaders and corporations are both fundamentally evil, and the more people conform to the ideals of their leaders the more evil people are. people trying to remove the evil from people are misguided, and can only prolong life or have superficial, temporary effects. also while medicines can do some things, erasing memories is highly dangerous and doesn't remove evil from people.

the below is tangential to the argument, but is not covered in the video files, it is from my 2-3 year struggle in hospitals and group homes,

having gone through schizophrenia, i can clearly tell you that some of the meds work great. put they again don't remove the evil from the hearts of men either, and our current society becoming a 'good consumer' is the goal of programs to 'fix' mentally ill people. freedom as long as it is to make the rich more money sigh.

so far it is interesting. i will post my thoughts when i get through the vids.

as much as i would like to see hillary in the oval office, i think another dem will win the primaries. as for the republicans who is gonna vote for those pricks anyways. making it so women and the poor can't vote. you can no longer vote if you ever have changed your last name without certified proof of every marriage, divorce, and your birth. while men only need proof of being born to vote. and then proof of citizen status if not born in the usa.
this is an unfair precident to take away the right to vote from women and the poor. and it's happening in EVERY state with a republican govenor. well at least in wisconsin. i haven't verified if it's everyone or just swing states that got this treatment for the problem of poor people and women who vote, for democrats.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070824072530AA0GeNF in slashdot a link it worth more than a pile of 'didn't read the license agreement that you made by opening a disc'

okay a primer here, all money is a debt. from the lowly penny to a 100 trillion dollar bill from Zimbabwe. right now about 90% of all wealth is stored in computers, which are just well backed up data files. when people don't have enough money they turn to debt. the greater the need the more debt. which is ironic, since all money is debt, but i am getting sidetracked people like money which is a promissory note that the government will force other people to give you what you want in exchange for essentially worthless paper, in Zimbabwe the government was issuing a lot of money that they couldn't force anyone to accept.

as for people paying for goods well, what is it like right now? people get money to buy cars, houses, boats, travel, etc. and the banks use a magic formula for borrowing to people who will spend decades struggling to pay bills over people who have the money to do stuff, which are in a class of their own and most of those people's money is in the various stock markets, bonds etc, anything to make an elite class who fight to have money without having to work for it. i didn't budget and i 'have a taste' for credit cards, until i bankrupted. i won't repeat my life story here but i just paid off one of my credit cards, and the other one is under $1,000 yes they gave me credit cards right out of bankruptcy if you don't get one then they lower your rating. so really, will people still buy goods if they can get credit lines, but not jobs to repay those debts?

automation is a classic con for how we are gonna get rid of people earning debt in exchange for honest work. thing is, most of the people in my circles want their dollars to be in exchange for honest real work, supporting honest hard working folks. h&r block is the number one temporary work company more so than anyone else. h&r block uses some computers to have less back office people, but they still have their tax workers who provide people with a 'human' to deal with them. some in my circles refuses to enter any key-presses to automated telephone service lines they shout 'human' 'operator' etc and refuse to use a machine where a human being can do the work better in their mind. automation is the cry of a lonely twisted would be dictator. and it has been since the empire state building was built.

this article applies to the uk, but it is cruel and unusual punishment i think.
