Comment Re:Laws of nature are descriptive (Score 1) 177

if we are discussing nature... we have no clues so far... we are basically on a philosophical level here... if we are discussing the physics we invented to somehow navigate our lives around the world we can see... he have done a lot... we have been able to navigate around our planets and some of the ones around us, all that without really understanding gravity... but somehow we have managed to find some paths to walk... extraordinary, considering we know so little about the real world (95% dark matter/energy we cannot yet define).

we will never understand nature with formulas... all formulas have the equal sign in the middle... in nature we cannot find anything equal to anything... have you ever seen two identical clouds? or two identical waves in the ocean? or two identical trees in the forest? so, if we really want to understand nature we need to use another approach. I don't know how, but I know this is NOT the way.

the day that I realized that recycling plastic was used to create more plastic... I stopped recycling. in my city, LA, depending on the area, only 5% to a max of 30% of plastic is recycled. knowing that only a tiny percent of that was going into the recycle cycle... I stopped recycling. we need to stop the production of non degradable plastic at the source... then it makes sense. otherwise is just a time consuming hope-wishing... keeping us busy from doing some other important things.

Comment be aware if you have a VOIP account... (Score 2, Informative) 184

it looks like they are not addressing another illegal charge: I have a VOIP account that gives me a local phone number to make international calls. I used it from my cell and Verizon charged me $1.4 / min to call Brazil, when I was not using their system to make an international call. I was using their network to call a local domestic number in the US. When discussing the problem with Verizon, they told me that their system was charged because of my call and they have to re-pass that cost to me... interesting that my local telephone company does not have that charge and do not re-pass any INVENTED costs to me. The fact that they traced that number as being a bridge of a VOIP company, shows their absolute lack of ethics. be aware of this scam by Verizon Wireless...
