The Italian government has copyright on the use of images of David. Maybe you should have actually read the link I provided?
How does one copyright a work of art created hundreds of years before copyright law was invented?  ???

Its simple trigonometry, Dave.
No, it's not quite as simple as you think, because...

Each degree is 60 nautical miles.
That's true only for degrees of latitude.  Degrees of longitude have no consistent value in RET or FET.

For the more common mono-pole FE map, you would be better off using polar geometry for your calculator.  For the bi-polar FE map, I have no idea of what kind of geometry would work.

It seems to me that bending light would directly contradict the results of water convexity experiments, such as the Bedford Levels experiment, that require light to travel in a straight line.

Whoops, here it is. 


Very nice, except that reporter wasn't covering the invasion of Iraq.  He was covering Scud missile attacks against Saudi Arabia.

So, you are saying that news broadcasts do not lie about sending satellite reports?
No, that is isn't what I'm saying.  I'm saying that it doesn't matter how many fake satellite broadcasts you bring up, all it takes is one real satellite broadcast to prove that the technology is real.

Now, how about you answer my question before you ask one of your own?
Here is a news broadcast of a reporter covering the invasion of Iraq.  Do you notice anything odd, like a bluescreen background and a fan blowing on a fake palm?
So you're saying that every reporter that was embedded with the troops during the invasion of Iraq used a blue (or green) screen?
BTW, there was no link in your post.

This is absolute horseshit. Hitler didn't want a war with Britain. He admired the British.
Is that why he bombed the crap out of England for so long?

Or, she stopped wearing makeup.
Which then caused her face to swell to twice its size, turn purple and crumble. If makeup can do that to a woman, we could get you looking like Orlando Bloom.

You'd be surprised what makeup can do:

Either the Soviets have invented a machine that can age you 20 years in 3 and a half or this woman has spent those 3 and a half years cleaning toilets with her face.
Or, she stopped wearing makeup.

The main point being your deposits are protected ... which they aren't with bitcoin as many bohemian investors are finding out.

Bitcoin is a currency, not a bank.

Irrelevant to Thork's point.  Bitcoin deposits are not protected by any government or financial institution.

I could set up a repeater in just a few minutes.  Plus, it could be that they already have permanent signal relays in place.  They have had a long time to create an infrastructure.
Where would you set up relay stations to cover the future invasion of Iran?  I have a sneaking suspicion that Iran wouldn't let the US forces use the ones that are already there.

Are you saying that it is not documented that video can be sent by anything but a Satellite? 
Like a true FE'er, you keep avoiding the point.  No one is denying that there are several methods of long distance telecommunication.  The argument is that there are some situations (such as live reports from active war zones or other remote locations where there is no suitable telecommunication infrastructure) where satellite communication is the only viable option.

Also, how long do you think it would take to setup a few relay stations?
If that's going to be your rebuttal, then perhaps you tell us.

As for edges, I strongly suspect that there are no edges at all and that the earth is an infinite plane that it loops back onto itself, but that's purely theoretical on my part.  This model, however, doesn't suffer from the same distance related problems that the monopolar disc does.  Even still, evidence that those distance problems even exist is highly debatable.

So, if this last is true, I shold be able to see the back of my neck with a good telescope by climbing an average mountain, right?
That depends.  Do you have a telescope that can resolve a human neck through many thousands of miles of atmosphere?

Too many people treat these Bitcoin startups as banks when they're tinker toys at best when compared to a real multi-million dollar company.
Yes, because no one could ever hack a "real multi-million dollar company."  ::)

Hey Rushy, is Flexcoin a safe place to stash my bitcoins?
God damn it, how many times does this need to be said? If you stash your BTC online, you take a risk. If you store them with a 3rd party, you take a risk. No, Flexcoin is not a safe place to stash your BTC. This is elementary knowledge.

B-b-but Flexcoin was supposed to fix the problems with bitcoins.
How Flexcoin Solves Bitcoin’s Problems

Flexcoin solves nearly every problem that exists with the Bitcoin currency today.

Hey Rushy, is Flexcoin a safe place to stash my bitcoins?
Flexcoin is shutting down.

On March 2nd 2014 Flexcoin was attacked and robbed of all coins in the hot wallet. The attacker made off with 896 BTC, dividing them into these two addresses:

1NDkevapt4SWYFEmquCDBSf7DLMTNVggdu

1QFcC5JitGwpFKqRDd9QNH3eGN56dCNgy6

As Flexcoin does not have the resources, assets, or otherwise to come back from this loss, we are closing our doors immediately.

Users who put their coins into cold storage will be contacted by Flexcoin and asked to verify their identity. Once identified, cold storage coins will be transferred out free of charge. Cold storage coins were held offline and not within reach of the attacker. All other users will be directed to Flexcoin's "Terms of service" located at "Flexcoin.com/118.html" a document which was agreed on, upon signing up with Flexcoin.

On the other hand, never mind.

Because it's irrelevant.

It isn't, though.
Then perhaps you should point out the relevance.

Then why did you bring up dividends when bitcoins were compared to stocks?

Why not?

Irrelevant.  Lots of stocks don't pay dividends.

Should we refer to him as Daniel "Shenton" if that's not his real name?
"Shenton" is the name that Daniel uses for his official FES activities (such as they are), so I would say that it's the name that you should use in the press release.
