This is from the HOPE (Hackers from Planet Earth) conference in New York, back in July.

Why would this guy go in front of this audience? Also where the heck is this anyways?

It is a commentary on his lack of experience...

Sure Winstonfield, sure.

In the last 18 months these RADICALS...

Have you ever considered that you are the radical (or reactionary)? Is it possible that paranoid gubmint hating god fearing folks are the nutjobs? Any objective view Obama suggests he is still very much right of center, even if it doesn't fit into your worldview. It takes a certain kind of true-believer to suggest Obama is nearing communist territory - and a healthy disregard for political scaling or measurement. Ask anyone who isn't a partisan or teabagger. Better yet, ask anyone from a different country. They'll tell you. Hyperbole is so much more fun though, right?

doubling down on leftist economics, europe in shambles, right-wing economics to the rescue

Even Britain's Conservatives are wild-eyed radicals in your mind. Federal money for kid's hospices? Communist!!!

Please...
Lousy polling?

45.7% after a months-long oil spill....this man is clearly hated by the country and 'Real Americans'TM are clearly lined up against him.

I guess in your mind the following numbers are proof positive of a complete outrage on behalf of 'Real Americans'TM? Or does this suggest that maybe Americans enjoy government intervention?

And what's this? Majority of Americans support the creation of a public option? Heresy!

I can't tell if you really believe all this, or just like to fuck with people. I don't know which scenario I dislike more.

gotta love the understated racism (man-child)
Incorrect. It is a commentary on his lack of experience, his spoiled & selfish behavior, and his general lack of any ability to actually deal with opposing ideas with any degree of maturity. But false accusations of racism when faced with opposition is a tradition on the left - as we've seen all too often lately.
the hyperbole (radicals)
In the last 18 months these radicals have implemented a plan to ration health care, quadrupled the national debt, established huge unconstitutional increases in federal power over finance and other industries - all against the will of the people. Bailouts, industry takeovers, tax increases, cap & tax, amnesty, health care reform, and on and on and on - all things solidly opposed by a 2/3 majority of the people (or higher). This administration and congress is the most left-wing, radical, out of step clot of extremists that this nation has ever seen in positions of power. The only people that 'like' what they're doing is the 25-30% or so of the country that occupies the far left. Conservatives, Repubicans, and Independents are roundly rejecting everything these radicals are doing - and they make up 65-70% of America.
the blanket portrayals of Europeans as poverty-stricken communists
While Obama & the other radicals are doubling down with leftist economics - Europe is doing the opposite. Greece, Italy, Spain, Britain, Germany - day after day the stories pile up about how they are turning to 'privitization' in order to save themselves from fiscal disasters. It isn't that they're poverty-stricken communists. It is that they have followed the misguided principles of leftist economics, and now they turning to capitalism to pull themselves out of the hole... All while the Man-Child is doing the opposite and putting American further in debt in a time of economic turmoil & trouble. Says something, don't it?
And the rhetorical attacks on Obama (how's his polling these days?
Pretty lousy - actually...

Isn't there majority support for Health Care reform? Isn't there still majority support for a Public Option?
In NeoLib-Lala-Land maybe, but not on planet Earth. The only thing there is 'majority support' for is for repealing the bill.

Folks on the left need to learn a lesson quickly. YOU ARE THE FRINGE. The left likes to walk around thinking they are mainstream and popular. You aren't. Leftist policy and philosophy is radical and unpopular. And when you try to ram it down people's throats it makes you even more radical and unpopular. Leftism isn't compassion. It is cruel. Leftism doesn't lead to prosperity or tolerance. It leads to poverty and balkanization.

OK...

Just like the last time, I can't find any of the videos I fixed... They just are no longer there...
So instead of just searching for them, I searched in advanced mode in only the dead pool videos..

Here is the first one:
http://videosift.com/video/How-To-Properly-Slap-A-Man-RocknRolla
It doesn't come up on a search - only a Deadpool search - but it is no longer dead - it's fixed.

I'll see if I can remember any others...

Here's another - Only comes up when I searched dead videos but it's now fixed because I fixed it.

600 square feet of panels is two 6'x5' panels on a rooftop--that isn't very big.

Elementary geometry says you need TWENTY 6'x5' panels to get 600 sq feet. Regardless, the issue is not the surface area per se but the COST to cover that much surface area. Photovolt panels are expensive, highly inefficient, and use toxic elements. They need maintainance, replacing, repair, and have a lifecycle. Same with the VERY expensive batteries you need to buy.

And it doesn't cost $50,000 per household.

Many estimates put the installation of a fully functional solar powered home at well over $50K. 660 sq ft costs $10,853 just for the panels using the cheapest product I could find. Then there is wiring, connectors, inverters, batteries, mounts, control panels, and monitors... The backhills of Alberta may be different, but in the U.S. it is highly illegal to install your own electrical system... You're looking at thousands in licensing, regulatory, and labor. $10K? Not on this planet.

But let's say you're super lucky and manage to get the whole shebang installed for only $25K somehow. That's about $150 a year in savings over 20 years versus fossil, or $13 a month. Is that worth it? Well, no. There's a reason people don't buy 20 years of food at once in order to save a few pennies a day. Same goes here.

Imagine you install your cool new solar system and 5 years later you lose your job. Unless you make up the cost in the sale of your house, you just lost $15K pal. Good luck selling your house when you're charging $15K more than the guy down the street... And get ready to pay ANOTHER $20K to install your new system in your next house... Oh nos! You need to move again in 3 years...? (Sad trombone...)

Solar is OK for heating water. It sucks for general purpose electrical needs. It is a pipe dream, because it can't be done in a way that makes sense because the technology is still too expensive. Yeah - people are 'doing' it... People are also 'doing' hydrogen fuel cells for cars but 99.99% of the population can't afford the $100,000 price tag.

Why do you have such a blind allegiance to the republican ideals?

I'm not a Republican, so I'm not even sure what you mean by this. This has nothing to do with politics. This is about common sense and what is actually possible with real-world physics and economics. I realize such things are problematic obstacles to people who are blinded by political blinders - but they still matter on planet Earth.

he lied on the application - note where it says "Home: Planet Earth"...

I... I... I can't believe... Oh wow... Exit Planet Earth now...

Probably the greatest way to control people is to focus their attention elsewhere, such as huge sports spectacles and events like American Idol. In order to prevent a free society from being to democratic you have to make sure to neutralize the public, it's distraction...down to a science.

Yeah, American Idol is obviously a conspiracy. It's not a goofy show designed to appeal to the widest audience possible in order to make piles of money...it's a tool of the goverment to distract us while they...I don't know...do something...obviously something insidious...
Or maybe it IS just a TV show. I guess that makes more sense.

Hence why the brainwashing is so effective. Because people like you and her think it's just a tv show.
No harm could come to our society by becoming emotionally involved in manufactured "reality" show like this woman, right?
Meanwhile, on the rest of the planet.. Tim Geithner's shovelin' into money into the bank accounts of his friends at GoldmanSachs. BP & Haliburton are covering up all their crimes. and Blackwater's still murdering civilians and raping girls in cargo containers.
Tho you're right. It's probably just a tv show.


Oh, please. "People like you"? What a complete misrepresentation of what he said. You're free to provide evidence that this in is fact NOT just a TV show and that the only reason it exists in the first place is because it's what the viewers want to watch, however stupid it and they may be for doing so.

How people react and hinge their lives on it, and how the powers that be benefit/profit from these distractions is a completely different story. Again, unless you have evidence that these mind numbing excuses for entertainment are just a big conspiracy, in the way people on planet Earth normally define it. You might be engaging in intentional hyperbole (if so, then I apologize) but the whole situation is far more complex than the simple-minded conspiratorial ejaculate that some have left here. I see where you guys are going with this line of thought, but it's far too simplified to be taken seriously.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I think Heinlein's Razor also might be useful here.

This is hilarious. This has to be the most chill man on the planet Earth / Mobius

Four-hundred years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by automation flung their wooden shoes, called 'sabot', into the machines to stop them. Hence the word...'sabotage'.

Nope, this guy is the real deal. Lets sing hymn to the planet earth. It was fun while it lasted.


Wow. I still think whoever wrote the sketch wrote it as satire though! His whole site looks a bit Onionish.
