Comment It depends on what you are searching (Score 1) 317

If you are searching something for which there will be a lot of advertising , like a car, furniture information you have to be pretty precise to avoid all ads. If you are searching for which there won't be much advertising, like say, "bose einstein condensate" or "walkthru of KoTOR 2" you will pretty much find what you want top link.

Comment Wrong date guys (Score 1) 179

It is soon the 1st January, not the 1st April. Except in comic book there is no such a thing as a mutant power. At all. Not even physically possible from the law of thermodynamic or newton's law.

What COULD happen is that somebody graft some biomechanic prothese giving an advantage like better muscle, drug implant or even eye sight enhanced and protected against flashbang, but that's nothing which could not be done by the "1st country" in term of military science. In fact I content a full mechanical device by the ease of removal replacement and mass fabrication make more sense. In fact I contend that it is probably the other country of the world which should worry about what the USA is brewing in their labs.

Comment They have no cause (Score 4, Insightful) 59

They can simply refuse the new term of service, and their photo will not be covered by the new TOS meaning instagram/FB won't be able to use them anyway. Naturally they lose usage of their photo but hey, so is life when you trust some random company with your stuff when you are obviously the "product" of that company. But i see no cause to sue the lawsuit will prolly be rejected at judge level.

Comment I have got fuel and amonium nitrate (Score 5, Insightful) 630

At a shed , one being for the tractor the other for the plant. Having two chemical substance which when mixed can cause explosion and a few electronic part means *nothing* without a context. The question is : do the authority exagerate the context to make a case, or was it a real plan from a disturbed teenager, or was it a disturbed teenager which would never have gone further but now whatever MAY happen will be forever marked as that "insane guy which wanted to explode a school" ? Wihout further info none of us are able to say. But I am willing to bet there will be a media circus.

Comment Why not jsut shoot them like dog in the backyard ? (Score 1) 511

I mean, I hate sex offender (the real one, not the one caught pissing in a backstreet 380 yard from a school), but this is what ? Double punishemnt ? or even tripple punishment ? First they get the prison treatment, then they are difficult to employ or get a flat (can#t be within XXX yard of a school which cut off a lot of possible work or living place) then they get kicked out of many stuff now. If you want to punish them for life then give them life in prison. this type of triple punishment whammy is "cruel and unusual". Once out they should be OUT.

Comment Except the ethical code in the bible is fck up (Score 0) 202

The bible "allows" murder in the name of Yhwh, it allows for slavery and forced mariage/rape, and various other disgusting stuff (old testament) even the new testmaent has a lot of disgusting stuff like slavery, or even women being inferior and not beign allowed to speak up unless their man allow it (in chruch for example, corinthian), not even counting that it is "You shall not covet your neighbor's wife" and not , say , husband or significant other.

Furthermore the moral code do not come from bible or whatever, they were there before (ex. Amurabi code) and even before as soona s we were socially grouped, they are a Necessity for a stable society or group. Heck charity is even one of those. In small group you will be far more likely to help somebody not related to you, charity is only an extension of that, and is practised by non religious.

The bottom line is that the bible bring nothing new or special to the morality of its reader And as somebody said (was it hitchens) "show me any moral act which are practised by religious people and *ENEVER* practiced by any Atheist whatsoever". You won't find ANY such act. You are as moral as you as human are, and religion don't make you more or less moral. You will simply recognize YOUR morality INTO the religion.

Comment Wrong : Null hypothesis (Score 1) 202

"In any event by suggesting that those books are *not* inspired by God (which according to current scientific knowledge may or may not exist) you are taking a position that is not supported by established facts"

Two things wrong here.
The default hypothesis, the null, is that there is no such things as unicorn, faery, gods until an evidence is provided for their existence, which is why science DOES NOT look at the existence of god AT ALL, not even throwing a may or may not. It is up to the CLAIMER to provide evidence of existence. But even if you were to add god to the equation, it is still the null that every book/document were written by men and inspired by men. It would be up to the person claiming isnpiration or divine origin to provide evidence for it as the NULL is : no inspiration all human origin. There is a good reason to use the null : shift the burden of proof on the positive claimant (inspired by gods) rather than shift the burden on an impossible to prove task (was not inspired by gods).

Comment wrong we did send signal (Score 1) 420

We did send 2 radio signal which will reach beyond the 1LY (and are by now around 30-40 LY can't remember if they were sent in the 70ies or 80ies). Each signal was a few minutes long. The reason we don't do it is not out of fear but out of uselessness. To send a signal without being rapidely attenuated and disappear udner the galactic noise for that frequency, we have to do it very directional, and very powerful. That cost money to do. And you can only reach a tiny tiny spot in the sky. And it travel at light speed. To do the whole sky would be an enourmous amount of energy to spend, and you would have to wait dozen , hundred and maybe thousand of years until it raches a destination (depending on the star/galaxy you target). And when it reaches there it will be of minuscule intensity at best. So sending is not done out of fea, but out of horrendous cost and are no better than dart in the dark.
