All being H1-B'ed and frequently subsidized at the taxpayer's expense. This country's government has no sense of how to do anything but keep itself in power and fully funded. As long as the corporates support them financially and politically, expect more of the same legislation that has brought us to this point.
Many years working on a farm provides me with experience and far more knowledge of the situation than someone who did not.
I stated two problems. These were indisputable facts.
I added in that IF you factored in the other incidentals, usage jumped significantly more. Again, not anything but 2+2 there.
I called no one's numbers B.S. and in fact, stated " that I'm not sure that there is a net energy gain from using corn to produce fuel fit for internal combustion engines."
Could it be that you know you have no ground to stand on and that is why you hide behind AC? Go crawl back under your bridge, troll.
I totally considered that. But we're talking about fuel usage here and I only used the heating of the farmer's house as an example of other smaller factors to consider when running a farm. Yes, all those things have to be done. I'm OK with that being done as long as there is a gain to be had. There simply isn't a net gain when trying to use corn as fuel. Try to pick apart the argument all you want, the numbers do not support a pro-ethanol position. Uses more energy to produce it than it provides.
Fifth problem: It takes a LOT of fossil fuel to produce enough corn to make ethanol. (Tractors, farm trucks, big rigs & trains to haul, etc.)
6th problem: It takes a LOT of fossil fuel to actually make the ethanol. Distilleries don't heat themselves.
If you factor in all the little things that are not covered here like fuel to heat the farmer's house, the likely fossil fuels used to produce electricity that farms use (and they use a lot if electricity), I'm not sure that there is a net energy gain from using corn to produce fuel fit for internal combustion engines. The whole ethanol industry reeks of scam. The point is, there are more efficient and cleaner alternatives out there. As long as big money from oil, big agra, etc. continue to control the elected officials that dole out subsidies, tax breaks, and that let these same companies write legislation that affect us, it will continue to be this backwards, ridiculous, B.S.
Correct on the P.O.S. Micro ATX there. It is an PCChips http://www.pcchips.com.tw/PCCWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=392&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=7&LanID=0
We have an older Socket AM2 board and a 64x2 4200+ CPU. I paired it with an ATI RADEON HD 4670 1GB video card and 2x2GB RAM and it still does almost everything I throw at it. However, I've noticed my newer games are struggling in spots. This mainboard will handle the 6000+ CPU that has double the L2 cache and faster clock. My question is, "Is it worth the $60+ to upgrade or should I just be looking for a newer machine?". Please note, I don't have a lot of cash to throw around and that eventually I want to get something newer as I have an interest in playing MechWarrior Online. This machine will probably get HTPC status via Linux/XBMC. This is my quandry.
" Oh, wait... it turns out that the original video was actually taken down by the user who uploaded it (i.e., whatever North Korea's version of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo is), so it wasn't so much a victory for America! as it was a failure of America!'s media fact-checking efforts."
"1. They add a 'Final Act' to each show where the accused - innocent or not - goes out and files for bankruptcy."
Interesting point I should have made. Thank you for doing so.
Another thing Aaron would have likely lost is his right to use a computer. At least for a while. For many geeks that might as well be a lack of air. I haven't read that his sentence would include that, but past charges like this have carried sentences that included serious restrictions on computer and even phone usage. The more I think about it, it would be like being totally ostracized and cut off from your life's passion and work. Unable to get more work due to the stigma attached to you. Broke. Labeled. Facing a lifetime of harassment from the RIAA and MPAA's bureaucratic cronies in retaliation for his part in SOPA/PIPA.
What this boils down to for me is that this had the air of retaliation from outside the US Attorney's office. I cannot prove it, and am not saying that is a fact. I would, however, very much like to see an investigation into everyone involved./mod parent up
Six months in jail. Plus YEARS of probation. Loss of the right to vote or carry a weapon. Labeled as a felon for life.....
Yeah, it was just six months, what was his problem?/sarc
He committed no crime. He checked out too many library books. That should have stayed between him and the library (JSTOR) The library even asked the prosecutors to NOT pursue charges. So, yes, you are a troll. There was nothing insightful or intelligent about your rhetorical question. Here is a question for you. Where were you when they were teaching concepts like compassion and fairness?
Find a game that fits or is related to one of her real life interests. My wife likes to play cards socially so it was very easy to get her into a virtual casino. We'd sit and play texas hold'em for hours.
I've tried to get my better half into MMOs; going as far as to create for her what I though would be her ideal hunk. While she was fine with ogling the avatar, she didn't want to play with him much. Wasted character slot.
Thank goodness my wife abhors FB and Zynga games. So much so that she has un-friended people for refusing to quit sending game requests. Stay away from the time wasters.
Ideas DO spread themselves. It is how two people can invent, write, or create the same thing never having contact with each other and in some cases are separated by millenia.. Patent and copyright are about "I filed first" not about "I created first" and in the worst and most greedy cases, "I didn't create anything, but bought some patents/copyrights and now am going to sit here and hoard them while threatening anyone who tries to do anything useful or enjoyable with them".
King Solomon said it best. "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
BTW, you inadvertantly (without wanting to) spread the idea that you are a copyright maximalist who is just trolling slashdot to further your corporate paymaster's agenda. A good example of information being spread without a WANT involved.
I'm sick of seeing that phrase. Information doesn't want anything.
Just because you're sick of seeing it, doesn't make it less true. "Want" is just the expression used to demonstrate idea's inherent nature to spread themselves.
And, no. Wanting to download "Alf" is a serious sign of mental illness. It is not "perfectly fine".

Thank you. I appreciate this input and may put it to use for another purpose. I'd + you if I could eve though I'm not a fan of Intel.
