It is educated speculation. We know the Sun was 25% cooler in the early solar system and can model climate to some degree. Models show that as the Sun got warmer, at one point the oceans would have boiled, causing an extreme greenhouse affect, stopping any plate tectonics that may have been happening and trapping the planets interior heat, leading to more volcano-ism and eventually a resurfacing event or even 2. The evidence of the volcano-ism and resurfacing event are there to be seen (almost no craters and big volcanoes) and volcanoes pump out CO2 (and sulfur). One piece of evidence that we could find would be life in the upper atmosphere, of which there is some circumstantial evidence of. http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/l...
Eventually it is predicted a similar thing will happen to the Earth. In 500 million - a billion odd years, the Sun will heat up enough to boil our oceans, leading to a strong greenhouse affect, sterilizing the surface, stopping plate tectonics and depending on how much interior heat the Earth has, an increasing amount of CO2. The solar heating mechanism is well understood, hydrogen gets converted to helium, which increases the density of the Sun, leading to faster nuclear reactions and more heat.
Toronto is not in Quebec. Each Province will regulate marijuana how it likes, within limits set by the feds, and ranges from pure government stores like in Quebec to pure private stores in Alberta selling marijuana.
Studies have suggested that billions of years ago Venus's atmosphere was much more like Earth's than it is now, and that there may have been substantial quantities of liquid water on the surface, but after a period of 600 million to several billion years,[62] a runaway greenhouse effect was caused by the evaporation of that original water, which generated a critical level of greenhouse gases in its atmosphere.[63] Although the surface conditions on Venus are no longer hospitable to any Earthlike life that may have formed before this event, there is speculation on the possibility that life exists in the upper cloud layers of Venus, 50 km (31 mi) up from the surface, where the temperature ranges between 303 and 353 K (30 and 80 C; 86 and 176 F) but the environment is acidic.[64][65][66]
Why couldn't life have started on Venus and migrated here? Best guesses are that Venus was habitable for its first couple of billion of years of existence and it probably had oceans etc much like Earth.
Source code can get lost just like binaries can get lost. I've actually had to ask authors to relicense their GPL work as the source was lost and they were fine with it as they didn't have the source either. Most people using GPL software do not have the source and it is only the most popular software where lots of people do keep copies of the source. Things are getting better with places like Github, but even then if Github went down, lots of software source might be lost.
Yet it is Trump pushing IP shit in NAFTA, probably harsher patent protections, perhaps including extensions and obviously doing something about Mickey Mouse being public domain in Canada. Everyone forgets that Trump and Hillary are good friends when they aren't playing politics. Shit Hillary was a Republican and Trump was a Democrat.
14+14, and it was actually the English who introduced those terms, to further education. Your Founding Fathers agreed and just changed advancing learning to advancing the sciences and arts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
What's most likely going to happen is that the US will use their trading power to compel these other countries to adopt the long and strict copyright terms: if your copyright law doesn't match US copyright law, we will not open our trade borders to you.
Starting with NAFTA, which is being negotiated in secret like all the horrible treaties. Trump also wants to join the TPP after forcing Canada to capitulate on IP and as Canada pushed dropping the IP bullshit from the TPP...
Every treaty will include copyright harmonization. Right now this is probably happening with NAFTA, the latest secret treaty that is being worked on. What you thought stopping the TPP would end there?
Health care isn't perfect here, and it varies between Provinces (Feds set minimums and Provinces administer), but generally things are pretty quick for life threatening things, the system is motivated to keep people healthy and people don't go bankrupt as easily if they get sick or have an accident. Still most have to pay for their drugs, which are some of the most expensive in the world, and support themselves while sick.
What is the cost of an ER visit down there? I noticed that the advertised cost up here was something like $400 for a Canadian without coverage and $600 for a foreigner plus Doctors fees. Another nice thing here, prices are up front and generally the same as the government would pay, for example last I knew, a basic Doctor visit was $35.
I was being sarcastic with my references to American wait times. Every time a discussion like this comes up, it starts out with talk about how long wait times are in Canada and ends up with it actually being more comparable or even faster here in BC. Wait times do vary here, weekends are worse, and same when there is a flu or such epidemic. Hospitals probably vary as well.
I'm in BC (do you know that Canada is a federal system and the each Province is responsible for its peoples health care?) and have had to take a friend into emergency a few times for life saving surgery. Sometimes it took longer then my parking to be admitted. Now he did start out seeing nurses, getting blood and such and did have to wait to morning for surgery. Same with my sister who recently needed double by-pass surgery, it was an 8 hour wait for the actual surgery, so compared to the States where you can walk into emergency and instantly see a doctor, I guess it is slow, but an hour or two to get to the doctor isn't bad. Going to a clinic without an appointment can mean waiting for an hour or so to see a doctor, so once again slow compared to America where you can instantly access a doctor but reasonable. What is slow is things like hip replacements, which can mean waiting for months. Shitty but not life threatening.
I'm fifty odd miles outside Vancouver, which has similar problems with high costs as Seattle. I moved out here years ago because it was what I could afford. Now the prices are flying up (median price for a home, only $950k), the city is growing like crazy and commuting is next to impossible as the roads haven't grown as fast as population. It's the same story further out, population is growing like crazy along with housing costs and people are spending 6 hours commuting.
Behind? As far as power goes, we've sent humans to space, and yet 100 years of internal combustion engine development hasn't been able to create instant torque response that an EV can deliver every time. Performance numbers certainly aren't lacking for the maker of "ludicrous" mode either.
I was watching some steam driven cars on youtube. 30 horses and a thousand foot pounds of torque, silent, no clutch, most no transmission though the one I was watching had a 2 speed with 1st for the first little while until a full head of steam was built up. Land speed record was held for quite a while by a steam car as well. Drawbacks, had to wait a couple of minutes to build up steam and the earlier ones were hard to fire. Internal engines still won out, once the starter was invented.
The unvarnished wood, unless it was kiln dried, has been treated with fungicides which may be off-gassing. As for the bare metal, it really depends on the metal. Glass is probably the safest and even that might be leaded.
So the second company couldn't compete and went out of business or at least never expanded into the market that was already served by a company that was willing to lower its prices for a while to maintain their monopoly.
Thunderbird was forked off of the browser platform, or rather the suite when Firefox was forked from Mozilla, so it's more that they're maintaining it then building it.
Looking at my pay as you go phone (Moto E), on Fido in Canada without any data, I've used 667 MBs this month (no idea when the month started) with 549 Mbs used by Googles Play Services. This is creepy and if I was paying for data, expensive as Canada has even more expensive data then everyone else. I'd guess a lot of this is location data.
MoFo quit caring about Thunderbird some years back, even went so far as to ban all their paid developers from spending any paid time working on Thunderbird (and SeaMonkey). Mozilla developers used to help adapt new code to Thunderbird or at least give heads ups about changes. Since then they've been busy ripping out any code that the new Quantum Firefox doesn't need, forcing Thunderbird to port it to Comm-Central as well as lately not allowing Thunderbird to use their infrastructure, build bots and such, even the add-ons have to migrate to thunderbird.net. It's Thunderbird (and separately SeaMonkey) that need money to pay developers and pay for infrastructure.

And how often are both sides rational?

And let's not forget the support of the TPP.
Which Trump now wishes he'd supported and is using NAFTA to implement all the horrible bits of.

The default font in Thunderbird is god almighty horrible. Yes, it supports the basic features, but it looks like shit.
Change it, it's one advantage of a client, you have control.
They need all the help they can get as most of the developers time is spent on keeping up with Mozilla (Firefox) changes.
