"..there never was a nation of Palestine... It is about Muslims hating Jews... Muslims are deeply offended by the idea of Jews having a country where they can live in peace..."

What a bunch of Zionist horseshit!

Stop murdering Palestinians, quit stealing their land and quit lying about it all.

That is all the world is asking. Peace will naturally follow.

"So they'd clearly have had to soft land a communications relay on the moon and have it take off again to make sure the broadcast signal was coming from where it's supposed to."

I should have been more specific:

"After it ejected the return module" ... the return module would broadcast signals back to the earth for a few hours as if it were coming from a lunar lander. Then it would eventually return to earth and be tracked on it's way back. None would be the wiser.

"...the Apollo project budget went on bribing the Russians and every other country capable of tracking the mission..."

No, there probably wouldn't have been a massive bribery operation. If the moon landings were faked they would just have launched a real, unmanned rocket and sent it to the moon for other countries and mission control to track.

After it ejected the return module, the rocket would crash on the moon or be destroyed in space (successful landing!).

Then Stanley Kubrick's footage of freemasonic astronauts jumping around the Nevada desert would be broadcast via the controlled mainstream media and be portrayed to the world as a successful moon landing.

The return module would return to earth and the astronauts would travel back to base and be congratulated on a 'successful' mission.

At least that is how I would fake a moon mission.

I would also call anyone who questioned the authenticity of my fake moon landings a nutter and a conspiracy kook; and I'd be sure that the truth was buried under a mountain of 'national security' blankets.

Then I could triumphantly exclaim to the world - "Look, we beat the Russians! Horrah! Horray! For USA!"

"Because its the degree that matters...ffs"

If you are looking for a federal government job then yes - it does matter. Very much. At least in Canada.

"As opposed to what?"

As opposed to other cellphones.

"It sure as heck did go down for awhile on 9/11."

Blackberry was the only communications lifeline for many on 9/11. It was reported in the NYT.

It has even been suggested that radio jamming technology may have been employed on 9/11, as several important communication systems 'just happened' to go down that day:

- New York cell phones (although this could possibly be caused by a system overload)
- WTC’s internal communication system (just happened to be down that day)
- Port Authority's transmission repeater on top of WTC5 (just happened to be down that day)

Regardless of these communications failures, Blackberry still allowed people to communicate on 9/11.

Then we moved into the age of surveillance, and the world of the Spyphone - largely justified by those attacks. How ironic.

I always found Blackberry to be the most secure as far as mobile devices go.

They were also the only devices that worked during the 9/11 attacks.

"you aren't getting either war or terrorism right."

Please provide proper definition.

Juan who?

"Not everything that causes terror is terrorism."

If you say so.

"Sikhs are not muslims."

Correct.

However, the point is that modern propaganda has conditioned people to think of Arabs/Muslims/Islam/Turban wearing people when they hear the word terrorist.

MOD+1 Funny

"Most terrorist attacks are carried out by Muslims. "

I'm not so sure about that. Most terrorist attacks are definitely blamed on Muslims.

Unfortunately, since 9/11 many people have bought into the whole "turban=terrorist" propaganda nonsense.

War is terrorism. War is essentially people killing each other because someone else told them to. It is terrible to terrorize or inflict terror upon others. That terrible terror is called terrorism.

"If the humor wasn't obvious, perhaps the winky at the end would have given it away."

It would have, if both my eyes were open.

Some very interesting points! I agree with most of them. However:

"- They are just as - if not more - expensive as a TV over time."

I paid about $600 for mine, brand new. And because it uses LED instead of a regular bulb it does not get hot like a traditional projector. Nor do I need to replace the bulb ($300) every 3000 hours or so. LED bulb (non-replaceable) on this projector is supposed to last approximately 20,000 hours. So about the same price as a basic TV.

"- They generally get duller or break more than a TV over time."

Mine still works perfectly after 4 years. No degraded picture or problems.

"- ... can be noisy, and sound often sucks compared to an equivalent TV (granted, some people have separate audio systems)."

The fan can be a little annoying, depending on where the device is situated. Sound goes to the stereo so audio isn't an issue.

"but for any serious setup, you wouldn't be able to move it around anyway."

The tripod stand is also quite portable. Seriously.

"I work in schools. We have DOZENS of projectors on site."

Projectors may not be the best solution in your case - schools. However, the article specifically mentioned "invading the living room". I normally use my projector in the living room.

"Projectors have a lot of problems that TV's don't have."

That's kind of a moot point. TV's have a lot of problems that projectors don't have.

The biggest reason that I went for a projector as opposed to a TV is a large, portable display. That, and there's nothing like helping friends and relatives move and lugging around some behemoth 50lb+ 52 inch TV, up and down stairs and trying not to scratch the walls or damage the TV. My projector is about as big and heavy as a home DSL router.

Projectors may not be for everyone but they are certainly worth looking into.

I don't know about everyone else but I haven't owned a TV in at least 10 years. I've never been a big TV person.

That said, I did buy a small projector that I use for watching movies and documentaries on Netflix.

It is low power, very portable and displays in HD (720p). It will literally fit into a large coat pocket.

Details here.

I'm not a big fan of Dell, but I highly recommend this device if you are in the market for a projector/TV.
