This is the first time in ages I've actually logged on to comment. I just want it on the record in my own name how much the Beta site hurts. I mean, after all these years, I've just finally gotten used to all the faults and boom! Here comes a whole new set of awful. I'll take a well-tuned slant six Dodge over an oil leaking, off-idle stumbling, lemon of a [insert disfavored auto brand here].
He most definitely was a scientist, but unfortunately he lacks any measurable data to back up philosophical claims. Doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense, it's just that it isn't science to make claims about violence without data.
Dude, we understand the quote. But the fact remains, we still consider it quite milquetoast. In a youngish male kind of way, we enjoy poking fun at it. And not to proclaim Violence to be the Way or anything, but its proper application can be very effective and decisive. And last I checked, our birth rate way exceeds yours, wherever you may be. So I'd say we like sex more too. Unprotected sex at least.
I concur and wish to back you up on your point that the C produced in fermentation is indeed part of the naturally occurring carbon cycle.
The best green beer would of course be made from more sustainably grown grains (using as best you can natural organic fertilizers, max-efficiency irrigation, etc.), and brewed using renewable energy for heating, mixing, etc. processes. I guess you'd need barrels made from sustainably managed forests, and oh--of course you'd need reusable/recyclable bottles or cans. Or just guzzle right from the tap.
Damn, I'm getting thirsty...
I agree. His books are a delight for a language dork. Every time I reread something of his, I always find something new that I hadn't caught in previous readings. Finding works of word-nerdness like Tolkien's are magical moments--rare treasures.
I have serious issues with some modern fantasy stuff that seems written by decent enough imaginations but clearly shows a lack for a true love and curiosity for language. Not to mention the hypersexuality of that crap--but that's a different cigarette butt for another drought-stricken forest floor.
Did you even read the article? They're talking about onboard reformation of hydrocarbon fuels--which don't necessarily have to come from petroleum. Granted, fuel cell technology still has a way to go, but this system has great promise, much better than the idea of using compressed hydrogen. Using a hydrocarbon fuel with onboard reformation is much better for distribution with existing infrastructure. Heck, solid oxide fuel cells--if you can get them cool enough--would be even simpler and carbon neutral if your hydrocarbon source came from biomass.
So are you negative about this because it's Georgia Tech? Hate greenies? Or are you an Ubergreen of the "all we need is solar and cannabis" variety?
Wow! I never knew I had so much in common...I have a 3.67 month old at home, and my dear spouse gave me permission to sneak off to a matinee of Cloverfield today. It's the first movie I've been to since we got pregnant.
Man, it was fun. I'll skip most of the negatives; they were slight in my view. Finding that my head had turned sideways a time or three was the only bad thing for me, but I thought it was funny. I do the same with flight sims too sometimes. I probably shouldn't be a pilot! But on topic, this was a good way to make a classic monster movie seem fresh. The lack of explanation is better than the hokey pseudoscience of the standard fare. Dang good. And the way the moster was revealed a bit at a time worked fantastic.
What's with all the negativity about the upcoming Trek movie? All the old Trekkies are as bad as the old farts I see at car shows--if it's not Shatner or a '69 Camaro that looks like state of the art from 1987, they poo poo it. Go to hell. I like new takes on things. I hope some day a creative mind gets ahold of Lucas' rights and does a fresh angle on the whole Star Wars world for the big screen.
$50 or so for a single article!!!! Who in the h*ll is going to pay for that?!?!
For real. It's like health care costs if you don't have insurance--scary, if not unobtainable. I hate it when I'm at home and find an article I need--but I can't read beyond the abstract until I get to my machine at work. I'm sure there's a way to get a login from my home IP address, but I guess my impatience and lack of research skills keep me from finding out how.
But seriously, why not two bucks for an article?
I know you're a trolling fake for the simple fact that when we southerners want to have our argument taken seriously, we never use "Y'all." We know when we're speaking to a wider audience, and we know that "y'all" sounds ignorant to others. Only someone wanting us to believe he is a southerner would address us as "Y'all" in such a post.
Anyway, fish bitin'? How 'bout trollin' some more? Y'ont to? Do ya reckin them thar fish was creationalized or evolutionated?
Well, CO2, or for better welds Ar/CO2 mix, works for ferrous welding. Helium is really only needed for non-ferrous stuff like titanium or aluminum. Most welding is still on steel, so no worries there. Helium is nice, but it's not the only option for shielding gas in GMAW.
Lasers and cryogenics are another story, and you're right--this will undoubtedly affect costs of these processes that require them.
These guys ain't on a damned boat. Different world. And if I had a Sgt. who wouldn't speak the truth, I wouldn't consider him worth a damn. If the ability to accomplish a mission is compromised by useless gear or a fucked up plan, and he's the only one who sees it, I want to KNOW! Good input is more important to me than people who speak smoothly.
Oh Dear GOD this is gonna suck. Don't get me wrong, I love gadgets and new tech, but the battlefield is not a place I want it. But I guess if I'd had mp3's and a digital player in 1990, the first gulf war wouldn't have sucked quite so much!
But seriously, I can't believe the ever increasing demands place upon the common grunt. When I talk to my friends still in service, it seems like they're constantly having new crap to tote and maintain and not lose, because goddammit, you signed for it! ughh.
But I'm a luddite when it comes to soldiers gear. I don't even like optics on a rifle. Plenty of range time is all you need to be familiar with your weapon. Iron sights just kind of sit there small like in your view of the world--they don't force you to see it spearately. Just my two cents. I know range time is expensive.
I was a driver for my first sargeant for a couple of months before I got out, and he was amazed and somewhat troubled by my preference to not use night vision when there was a good moon. I just liked having a little bit of depth perception.
I do like GPS--it's a freaking miracle tool, for soldiers and farmers and surveyors and every joe on the planet!
I like modern textiles that keep you warm or cool, dry and windproofed--i kile it when your crotch doesn't rot away!
And I damn sure like the new body armor. Now that's a place where R&D could pay off even more. Keep making it lighter without lessening protection.
And for God's agnostic sake, don't make the next rifle heavier and bulkier!
Sorry for the rant...
Wow, and I thought Autoblog was slow to pick up stories. They had this one three or four days ago.
It's a cute ad. Why is everybody afraid of Everything nowadays? Oh well. At least the kid didn't commit suicide...
What is is about U.S. Urban Fascism these days? Left wing, Right wing, it doesn't matter--big cities seem to be edging towards police states these days. And what's up with everyday cops dressing up like they're playing Delta Force? Red light ticket writing cameras? Rent-a-cops from hell (specialty of ATL) who write tickets as they protect the merging of private parking garage customers? Man.
Too many Barney Fifes and not enough Andys
R.I.P Ando--
I think all of us have some great Ramen stories, and creative recipes! The only thing I've always wanted them to do was to add more desperately needed nutrients to the flavor packet. I'd pay another ten cents to know that my vitamin and mineral requirements were being met.
Oh, also, now that I've been married for several years, and we both have decent jobs, I've been out of the Ramen scene for a few years. What are the best brands now? New flavors? Damn, I'm out of touch!
"Older versions of Office, on both Windows and Macintosh computers, won't be able to read these new file types without special conversion software"
Ughh. Is this correct? It's hard for me to imagine companies and govt. institutions rushing to do a mass migration to the new version. I hope it will be easy to set the file format default for saving documents.
Also, regarding the new interface. From what the article showed, it isn't that alien. All of the "ribbon" buttons are the same as buttons on the tool bars, just moved around a bit. But I will tell you that without a "classic" view option, I won't be installing this for my parents.

"the material surrounding the pillars absorbs light and creates electrons."
Wow, creation Ex Nihilo or from other subatomic particles? That is powerful technology.
Amen! Barrels of beer are carbon sinks!

How about "Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Daily Bowel Movement"?
