IE works great until it gets hijacked or installs some other nasty. Then you’ll start singing the FF tune. One thing about FF is the Quote text button doesn’t work on the JU forum. Dharmagrl, register with http://www.wilderssecurity.com/ and post your Trojan problem there. They’ll fix you up.
Pure bullshit. You have the audacity to preempt claim to patriotism as though liberals were traitors hoping Iraq blows. Didn’t you know desiring solutions more enlightened than blowing shit up is unpatriotic?
Especially the DEA, all they do is fatten the profit margins for the drug dealers and imprison way to many of our citizens for having an addiction.
Technologies such as cloning, Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology and robotics will present ongoing challenges as to how to integrate them into our lives. These technologies will soon be realized no matter what may be done to prevent them. For the simple reasons that there is a need, and money to be made from them. Some, like human cloning will be realized illegal
There was just a thing on PBS about nanotechnology. This is a technology that’s right around the corner, 15 years from now you could have nanites running around your bloodstream, keeping your artery's free of cholesterol buildup. One of the topics covered was how dangerous the technology could be in wrong hands. Destroying all life kind of dangerous. We are coming up on another technological growing spurt that’s going to be just as dangerous as the ato
There are four types of construction. The two methods that exist now are destructive machining and molding with extreme temperatures. Coming to a future near you it will be possible to use nanites to assemble from the atom up. In the future it may be possible to convert energy directly into matter in the form of our choosing like in Gene Roddenberry’s wri
There is no question that violence can be a means to an end. After all there really was no doubt that our military could get rid of Sadam’s regime and set up a democracy in Iraq. There is also no question that violence is the result of human intellect running out of juice. Therefore this war was, and will always be a failure. We failed on every level leadin
You’re missing the point. Death has always been one of the main Human truths. Death and taxies right? If this guy is right then death from old age will no longer occur, people will have to be killed in some fashion.

As far as wars go this one was definitely the most civilized in history. But t
Oh, please. Are you serious? Have you paid any attention at all to the laws that surround employing people? Have you not read any of the reports of corporations helping people? Yes I’m serious. Why do you think we have all those laws about employing people? The companies didn’t make them. Why do you
No KarmaGirl, I think it’s you that is missing the big picture here. This is about a company saying if you want to come to work for us we will only pay you 40 hrs a week but we will own every moment you take breath on this earth. Americans are also bad at managing their own finances. What next? (And there’s always a next), No paychecks only vouchers for approved housing and dietary requirements. Coupons that can only be redeemed at approved stores. We
What’s a next genetic enhancement for specific jobs? Only 12-fingered applicants accepted for secretarial positions and so on. People half to be allowed to be unhealthy. When are we going to learn it’s about people not the machine?
I think we created the universe. And we made it so big because 15 billion years from now were going to need the space for all our stuff.
In humanities search for truth, colored by arrogance, we seem to forget that we are infants. What little enlightenment we have is owed to science. In fact the only true path to enlightenment is science. You can pray, meditate, postulate and study all you want. Without the scientific method you will always be limited to existing human truths. It’s very difficult for anyone deal with the possibility that they will never know the meaning of all of this. P
Homosexuality means that you’re attracted to and could fall in love with the same sex. I know some gay couples and they’re just a much in love as any hetero relationship. People have sex for sexes sake all the time. Doesn’t mean there in love with rubber or there hand. Women have sex other women all the time, but unless they’re gay there still turned on by men. Doesn’t mean their bisexual ether. For women it’s a lot shorter trip than it is for men. How
Excellent article steven. This belief that the mere existence of behavior that some consider amoral somehow rubs off on them is very strange to me. I think banning rudeness makes more sense than banning gay marriage. At least you could argue that rude people directly effect others lives. I use to own a cabinet company, and I once had a customer demand that I finish the bottom and backs of her kitchen cabinets. She said she couldn’t sleep knowing there
I think even as inefficient the Government is they can do things that private charities just can’t. Private relief organizations will never have the ability to mobilize on the scale needed for disasters. I think it would be more wasteful not to make use of governments capabilities for disaster relief. We really don’t have a choice. Charities can’t hire and maintain peacekeeping and rescue forces, or purchase and maintain their own air and ground trans
I’m in the same place you are Draginol regarding faith, for many of the same reasons. As you say all arguments for god always seems to fall back on the big leap. Most people who profess absolute certainty in their belief in god are not being honest with themselves. There’s almost always doubt even in the strongest of believers. The constant struggle against death is proof of that. My Grandmother was the most religious person I’ve ever known, her faith
One has to wonder what the brain would be capable of without all these instinctual responses confusing the heck out of us. The fear response is just about useless now. Even when predators were chasing us adrenalin has always been a double-edged sword. Sometimes causing paralysis and almost always suppressing rational thought. Savants, free to devote most all thought to one task, give us a glimpse of the possibilities. The majority of the br
