Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey Trailer (2014)

Taint says...

I think they were hoping that we would figure it out.

and you wonder why generation X is pissed. We were constantly told from birth that we would be living and working in space and it would be as commonplace as going to the grocery store for some milk.

and here we are.....still earthbound.

Cenk Uygur debates Sam Harris

Taint says...

I can't believe Cenk couldn't understand Harris's point that there's a difference between a disagreement and factually misrepresenting another's viewpoint.

Cenk also then fails to understand the nuance in religious beliefs and how those differences matter. I mean, this seems really obvious. Yes it matters how many layers of improbability people layer on their belief system since it's their belief system we're concerned with.

That's why Harris treats Islamic doctrine differently, because it's so obviously different then the other major belief systems and deserves the extra attention.

Then Cenk goes on to say lay the blame of WW2 on Christianity? Yea Germany and Japan attacked their neighbors due to their Christian beliefs. Seriously? He smugly says: "oh when Muslims do something it's because of Islam but when Christians do it, it's complicated."

Cenk is so out of his depth throughout this interview that it's embarrassing.

I can't believe someone wrote that Cenk won this "debate". Get your head checked, this isn't even a debate, this is Harris trying to get Cenk to understand basic concepts.

Speed bump overkill?

Taint says...

Hey cricket, why do you write (fair use) on everything you post?

This isn't copyrighted, you're allowed to embed Youtube videos.

If it actually was a copyrighted work and you were linking or reproducing it, simply writing (fair use) would not protect you or have any legal bearing.

So save yourself literally seconds. You don't need to write that.

IXION Windowless Jet Concept

Taint says...

I thought they were illustrating just that with the passenger tracking technology.

I think it's a nice design.

I wonder how much cheaper private air travel might be once the pilots are removed. Let Google fly the planes, drive the cars, and pilot the ships at sea.

serosmeg said:

It wouldn't look like that. Thats not how perspective works. If you are standing at one of the the plane looking down the hall it would look correct to you, but the person sitting at a window at the other end would just see a skewed image, or vice versa. Unless the "Parallax Barrier" would produce a head tracking image with correct perspective for each individual passenger, this is just a novelty.

This was demo'd by Johnny Lee

in 2007. How has no one gone further with this yet?

Women steal new lawn from front yard

Taint says...

That was my thought too.

But then I imagined that this was edited out of a larger picture and the camera moves because it's focusing on the action from what was a larger, motionless shot. That would also explain the horrible resolution.

Although I can't really say if that's what happened. Wasn't there, and I don't even work here.

newtboy said:

Oh, so that's why the 'camera' moves but they claim he wasn't there.
On a side note, can this be a learning experience for the rest of us that, if you're going to spend money on a 'surveillance' system, you should be sure it records in high enough resolution to be useful, because a low res video of your stuff being stolen is completely worthless and only useful in raising your own blood pressure.

Hamas to kids: Shoot all the Jews

Taint says...

Both are killers.

One side has effective weapons.

And this isn't a street video of "what some Israeli's have to say", this is Palestinian state run television raising their children in a culture of murder.

Surely someone even as one-sided and myopic as you can see the difference.

Pure Hate-bate

I could post hundreds of videos showing what Israeli's have to say. And it is not pretty. But I will not lower myself to this level. The FACTS speak for themselves

Hey thanks. I'm always willing to admit when I realize I'm wrong, and I was being the dickish one by accusing you of an entirely ugly motivation.

So apologies, enoch, nothing but respect for ya, man.

enoch said:

you are alright my man.
hope you didnt find my tongue and cheek response too dickish.
i was going for irreverant rather than douche,but as per usual,you arise to the occasion and prove why i have so much respect for you.

stay awesome bud!

Israel bombs U.N. school shelter, murdering children

Taint says...

"Slack into a noose" so we can "deal" with them.

Who is the monster?

How eager some are to throw the Israelis on the fire for the cause of what exactly... I forget, aren't we supposed to be upset with Israel because of their violence?

Or is violence is just fine when you agree with who is the target.

Thumper said:

Fuck Israel. It's sad we support them so much. It's really our fault. They wouldn't amount to shit without us. This blood is on our hands for giving them so much rope. It's time to turn that slack into a noose. The media coverage is actually a good thing because IT IS painting them as a monster and we inch closer to dealing with that monster because of it.

Israel bombs U.N. school shelter, murdering children

Taint says...

I realize everyone is foaming at the mouth and positive of what happened here, but it should be noted that Israel denies hitting the hospital, and that the United Nations had not confirmed the source of the blasts.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/25/world/middleeast/despite-talk-of-a-cease-fire-no-lull-in-gaza-fighting.html?_r=0

Everyone wants to paint Israel like this giant monster, but things are being way overstated. Let's get serious. If Israel was embarking on a program of "ethnic cleansing" they could easily kill every last person in Gaza. Seems clear enough to anyone that this is not what they're trying to do.

If Hamas was in Mexico shooting rockets at Texas half the people shouting genocide at Israel would be wearing little yellow ribbons hoping our soldiers all come back safe from our Mexican invasion.

I have a hard time imagining, or believing, that anyone purposely bombed a hospital full of children. But I can easily believe accidents of all kinds will happen in a battleground the size of Detroit.

The Middle East problem "explained"

Taint says...

Yea, agreed. That was entirely unfair of me.

enoch said:

@Taint
so much presumption based on so little.
but be of good cheer my friend!
your "sinking feeling" is so far off the mark that the ball didnt even make it to the playing field.

care to go for the extra credit or are you going to stare into your crystal ball to discern my intentions some more?
