  1. Re:Press coverage on Rapid Arctic Melt Called 'Planetary Emergency' · · Score: 1

    Actually your wrong. Removing Beef from our diet does more than you think. It frees up a lot of land to grow other foods, or trees which help clean up CO2. Less meat also means less fuel needed to transport. Beef requires a lot of energy and resources just for the benefit of taste.

    Educated, and wealthy people are avoiding meats like beef, because they understand the health benefits. It's the middle class and poor in this country that can't resist.

    I stopped eating meat 2 years ago. If we eliminated Beef, it would do more than removing all the cars, and all that freed up land could be used to grow food that could feed the whole world.

    Apple has turned into a Religion. It makes no sense, but people still believe in it.

    I will admit, Apple has done a great job Brainwashing people into buying their products.

    It's probably the same stuff, since New Brunswick borders Maine.

    Grown here in Maine, and tastes great. I make a habit to purchase a bag every month. Seaweed is very nutritious, so may call it a super food.

    There is only so much your brain can handle. When I took physics class in college, I used a graphing calculator to get me through. Others who didn't have a good calculator failed the class. Unless you’re some Einstein, most of us can't computate complex algorithms in our head.

    No Profit, No Fusion! I think that's the case for just about every new advance technological idea that could benefit us all.

    I had a friend who owned one back in the 80s. It had a built in modem to log into local BBS's. I thought that was pretty cool.

    Yes, but they should be learning to type on a modern keyboard, not an old typewriter, the two work very differently. Did they teach you how to use a calculator in school, or an abacus?

    But considering how thin Mars atmosphere is, would we really here sounds like that? It's like movies with big explosions in space, when in reality there is no sound in space.

    BS!. P2P File Sharing was the main reason for Bit Torrents. Everyone was tired of paying fees for services like RapidShare, or having their stuff deleted/banned. And places like LimeWire had been taken down or severely crippled. The fact that torrents distribute data more efficient was a just a side affect of the technology.

    The whole upgrade to Windows/Mobile 8 and even Server 2012 is to force people to use the products to gain full integration. It may not happen this year, but it will creep up on us.

    It's already started with some apps, like OneNote for example, you need Mobile 7 to sync with Exchange. Microsoft may not ditch all access to Exchange on Android/Apple, but they could limit it. Trust me, Microsoft is in the business of monopolizing the industry, that's been their goal all along.
