gosh the modern day clothing is worst than the old days lol how many ppl can ever figure out tracking ie: like tuning one's radio signal vs auto search and lockon
-

"Stargate Infinity" didn't seem to go any where SGU was like galactica w/o galactians nor cylons an endless journey until everyone on that ship dies of old age or by the hand of an alien no ancient tech to rejuvenate yer body like on earth the shore leave on earth just opened up how homesick SG can get
-
so who would you vote for a returning character or a new main character? should they really focus years after SG1 so that new stories could be made from the son\daughter\clone of jack o'neil gosh james spader let himself go lol, i don't remember spader in any other big name movie?? with alien technology ,,, in theory most of the original cast shouldn't age much lol, with CGI Acting that could be made possible but would be expensive for a TV Series
-
really was there four other seasons??

Gordon Gekko eventually learn his lesson but it doesn't mean he stops using the tools of survival what fuels the debatable is the pride one has for ones country, its ppl, and its way (culture) its the very few that enjoyed the success in its purest and un-corrupted form each contender that learns the (good n bad) tools of his trade of surviving within the "ism" is at risk in every deal of the dice but the skills come down to gambling, corruption (legal or illegal), alliances and deals (dirty n clean) ie: how many ppl would invest in a Chinese amazon like company where its layered in shell corps? even in the USA we have shell corps but some times it takes a lot of digging before one finds out its a bad deal to take ie: Buffett and Ichan surely have angels on their side ... a senate investigation would turn up something about their dirty deals of the dice but no one in the gov't has challenged them ... someone give thanks to the luck of whats followed by lots of zeros that come their way Dirty business or Dirty Gov't is a fact of life on earth Success is also in the eyes of the beholder (and audience) I rather say the one who is successful (good or bad) is the one that can practice in any of "ism" and turn up a profit an "ism" is simply a tool ... until that tool is retired .. the last tool standing is the successful one the poker game is still in play ... everyone can still sell the good points of its "ism" JR Ewing doesn't go down without a fight ,,, he even fights from beyond the grave

not while Capitalism needs the govt to tweak its wheels regardless if its consumers are suffering or not ie: pure free market would have allowed the big three to fail so that something better would replace it that function is fair but that concept is flawed when ppl n consumers are at risk this country can not loose its economic rating ... losing faith would destabilize the dollar as the norm for commerce so the gov't n the feds stepped in just like any other country does or doesn't countries are considering alternatives to the dollar ... lets hope its not bitcoin not always true not absolute ie: your A/C is out and its in the middle of a hot summer you're at the lack of mercy of the repair industry there is a lack of immediate corrective action for the corruption when things go wrong its a matter of spending to get justice but that can get tied up for years To break the bad pattern, one can always buy another new A/C than to deal with the repair industry but at a min of 3500 a pop it gets expensive plus local gov't permit fees n laws ie: the VA, your forced to accept their services even under whats going wrong the same with govt insurance programs the other choice is there but not many can afford it its the very few who can make the other choice

any "ism" is designed to control the resources, assets, and its ppl the powerful few will always prevale no matter what name you give them sure the fact of life over time is change ... new names but same old songs ie: a village in china was given the chance to practice democracy but the lesson learn communism prevails and democracy is on a short leash ie: Countries where military coup is a norm can keep "ism" at bay before that country can figure out how to conduct themselves I just wonder why no coup ever happens in the USA ... it would certainly clear up the lock that the elephant n donkey has the free market is only a construct ... but there is no construct to make sure that its fair and working efficiently for all ie: a CEO1 is paid handsomely but if CEO1 did something illegal, moves on to another job, and then later that company1 is in trouble its CEO2 who holds the bag and CEO1 who got away scott free laughing all the way to the bank while all this is happening company1 is damaged and employees are caught in the crossfire Yes Russia has lots "stagnation and the equality that comes with pervasive poverty" but its assets n its powerful corruption keeps the country afloat while the USA n other countries have a run for the money ie: EU needs gas n oil for the cold winters, china can make a bundle reselling Russian gas sanctions don't always have the desired effect in the short term however doing something outside the construct that's like jamming the wheels of "ism" is very effective ie: usa government shut down or a military coup but who suffers is its ppl while resources and assets are frozen ppl have to live on what little they saved or earned if not all ppl live beyond their means then many could survive shutdowns n coups until the country sorts themselves out but since that isn't always truth then those ppl always wind up protesting and riots nothing is really perfect but the fact is corruption is a fact of every "ism" every "ism" has loopholes n potholes (etc) it takes strength n smarts to make sure one doesn't fall into those traps

yes the beauty of capitalism is in the eye of beholder a lie can go a long way even on capital hill as long as its followed by lots of zeros a lie from the start ... how could anyone tell where the truth started ie: ADT selling you security n piece of mind as long as reoccurring profit never dwindles but does anyone truly know ADT motive of existence The shareholder's n other stakeholders ever care is the bottom line ie: one hour air and heat does something even more to insure they got you hook line and sinker no matter what you decide to do once you let them perform their services lol, second n third opinions cost (at $100 a pop)

very Minority Report isn't it, lol its only a factor of whether or not if soul of capitalism can be tweaked to produce more profit but I doubt the tiny little display could sell much leads but perhaps give the mocking mad max headroom suggestion however it is human to rip the nest egg out of the wall any way nest is currently defective as it would not out last the reliability of an old fashion thermostat

The idea behind the DNA is real time planning rather than delayed monthly \ quarterly reporting n budgeting. Any company could query at any time to see what how the supply n demand is really going capitalism n RnD is surely late to create this smart system perhaps in the next generation or two we'll get it right lol, the ferengi of the future will love to track their profits hourly ............................................. oh yeah the johnny car!! lol, perhaps one day Google will allow the users to 3D print their George jetson driver-less car any way Google might have a lawsuit on their hands when Disney says they made a Herbie!!

so the US Navy rules out the pings n the ppl who listen to quakes n nuclear bombs want to have a crack at finding the place since they have listeners in the ocean that was setup via the UN. No one wants to say what generated the pings ... its crazy to blame the ships itself. one wonders if they heard flipper matting?? now the conspiracy ppl going to continue to put our their version of what happen n who's suppressing the information more books and more movie budget pitching (the race to the summer or fall movies dead line) none of these media companies are not saying they would donate their profits to finding mh370 one wonders if the families will sue the publishers and the film makes
-
so no one kept their x-box or ps4 on 24x7x365x6? lol, i'd keep a laptop on that long but not a desktop

Thus this is why syfy movies shows the other side of life to remind us that capitalism always fails to deliver us into the smart world The rich forget that they all depend on the masses to buy their products so they can live in luxury smart houses so help boost the ratings of Network 23
-
shutter in your car when you hear Sandra bullock n Sylvester Stallone singing jingle tunes ... when Taco Bell is the only high class restaurant; at ;least it paid alot of Demolition Mans filming buget apple smart house is only a small portion of what really a smart world could deliver many other companies (Microsoft, IBM, etc) just tinkers away spending lots of RnD money like water waiting for the day when they all can deliver a smart house Its doubtful that every america would be able to afford to live like this
-
The issue of today is that capitalism can't get it into gear to transform society as advertise in the the worlds fair The concept of the Smart House excites ppl but the vision is poorly delivered its 50 years since the worlds fair and very little has come about lol, if only Howard Stark could deliver proof of concept
