Well Ive been saying for a long time that the moon landings were Fake, to honestly think we can land man on moon in 1969 with computers as powerful as standard digital watches, and yet in 2000's we cant land a man on moon despite having better technology and computers
@Andre Ondre: Wait, people actually believe that? We've landed on asteroids and mars, not to mention the moons of other planets, good sir. NASA simply hasn't had the funds or initiative to land on the moon over the last few decades until recently.
@Andre Ondre: Honestly, what idiot believes the moon actually exists? YOU SIR, and I use that term loosely, are part of the conspiracy. Hopefully someone will unplug you someday, and you will wake up from your pod. [www.revisionism.nl]
One of the things that I tend to question about these moon-hoax theories is how they explain the rocks. Its usually something they gloss over. Did they get a whole bunch of geologists to lie about the rocks and soil samples they examined, which were reported to be subtly unique in composition to anything on earth? Did NASA somehow manufacture or otherwise fabricate fake moon rocks and soil using obscure techniques that wouldn't occur to geologists? Did they send up an unmanned probe, collect some samples, bring them back, and then shove them into the 'reentry' capsule before airdropping it in the ocean? And speaking of probes, was it with stealth probes launched during the fake "manned" launches that they placed the mirrors and other assorted bits of ground-observable evidence for the landings? All I tend to hear are "photo inconsistencies" and "soundstage in New Mexico". Occasionally "Van Allen radiation belt", too, for variety.
@I Think We're Property: Supposedly Verner Von Braun was up on the North Pole collecting Moon Meteorites to use as moon rocks to further the conspiracy. Which proves it's not true, as the moon doesn't exist. The moon is a lie. [www.revisionism.nl]
Finally! We can now go back to believing the moon is made out of cheese.
It is made out of cheese you know...the squirrels told me. Now the little bastards are after me. They watch you though the remote sensor on your T.V., so make sure that you rip yours out...
Oh shit...I think they know I'm writing this...........
@GitEmSteveDave_IndustrialStrengthLasagna: Take it from a regular mango consumer: This is the best and, in my opinion, only way a mango should be cut. (People, do not pay attention to the method shown above). Also, Alton didn't mention it explicitly but, like all fruit, smell to determine ripeness. Ripe mangoes give off a strong fragrance when ripe. Mangoes are delicious, versatile and super-healthy. If you can get a few good ones at the supermarket or asian food store or wherever, and they are not too expensive, do yourself a favor and buy a few.
Why does anyone care? I mean google doesnt actually know who you are, you are just a number to them. I dont really see the big deal is. I mean who at Google would really care what YOU, one out of millions that use their service are doing or how you feel? They just use information to get over reaching trends in data. It is basically the same thing if I owned a store such as Target. I have cameras every where and I can track where customers are going and what their buying habits are (tracked from their CC#). Do I care if I see somebody buy hemorrhoid cream, a box of condoms and vasaline? no, because i dont know them, all I see is a number.
hell when you buy anything at any store you are giving away information you thought was personal. If you buy a porno at the local video store, the person checking you out saw you buy the porno but you think nothing of it because they get lots and lots of customers and so you are just one of many.
@phunnyballs: Perhaps because if someone wanted Google to put your name to your trends, I doubt very much if they would think twice before handing you over. Look at their spotless record in China.
.
They are a business. They are going to use their data to their advantage, not yours. To the extent those goals happen to coincide, fine. To the extent the goals diverge, you lose.
@phunnyballs:
Thank you! Perfectly stated, sir.
@AmphetamineCrown:
No, they most certainly wouldn't. You know why? Exactly *because* they are a business. If they ever did that, people would immediately stop using it.
@Californian: Exactly. I always hate it when people have this "evil corporation" vision of life. So far, Google's been very successful at what it does. But success is a fickle friend. The best way to lose all that? Start selling out your customers. The way news spreads these days is insane. People would just flock to the next best thing, leaving Google a bitter, burnt-out husk of a company -- like all the other "evil" corporations that actually thought the best way to make a buck is to steal it.
@JohnnySaber: @Californian: You guys are either joking or naive pre-teens. Google self-censors itself in China at the request of the Chinese government. Google's cookies originally persisted until 2038. There are a great number of people that have serious privacy concerns about both search data and Google mail.
.
Google has fantastic PR and has managed to delude a whole bunch of people into thinking that it is acting in their interest. Bull. Google is about making money. If they get a subpoena, you better believe they are handing your search results over to the FBI.
.
And, your view of modern corporations is charming. Did people stop using AT&T after issues were raised about warrantless taps? Did people stop using AOL after they made everyone's search results public? Get real.
@92BuickLeSabre: um yes they are, and I have gotten into more than one argument with people who have never seen the movie but seen the commercials and said "this is not trek!" simply because it curves things to a alternate universe not that its anything new in Trek.
@MosesMonster: And thats assuming its not in the movie. From at least half the reviews I have seen on Rotten Tomato and on Trekmovie and TrekBBS (two die hard trek sites) everyone comments on how the action portion is only a small part of the movie, and the bonding of the crew and in particular Kirk and Spock are what is central to the plot.
But even if we where to go that route of action and adventure not being trek, that pretty much kills every movie since TMP, since that was the only movie to actually embody the exploring the unknown and seeking out new life motto of trek along with the human aspects of Kirk Spock and McCoy getting back together after years apart.
And everyone (except a handful of people including me) HATES that movie, some even more than the abomination that was V. I believe Slowmotion Picture is the affectionate title among Trek geeks.
@Jim Topoleski: I generally refer to TMP as "Star Trek: The Motionless Picture - Boldly Going Where Nomad Has Gone Before." But it isn't really a *bad* movie, just kind of slow - especially the video release with footage added back in.
Similarly - "Highlander 2: The Sickening - There Should Have Been Only One."

The Reptoids are just hoaxing us into believing that space exists so we don't go exploring their secret lairs under the earth.
