  1. Re:yep on Tropical Storm Zeta Forms in Atlantic · · Score: 1

    So name one place that does not have Hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, tornados or some other form of natural disaster as a possibility.

    Yeah, does not exist.People need to stop thinking of weather as an adversarial force and start designing buildings and infrastructure in ways that can deal with the weather instead of taking a destroy and rebuild approach.

  2. Re:Be aware of the facts, always. on Mount St. Helens Eruption Baffles Scientists · · Score: 1

    I think taxes rates should be 3d6x(percentage of average income)

    I.E. I make about 35% of the national average and I roll a 10 so I pay 3.5% tax rate.

    Fun and useful.

    I really need to go into politics.

  3. Re:global warming on Tropical Storm Zeta Forms in Atlantic · · Score: 0, Troll

    Unfortunately if this is global warming in effect, and I am guessing it is the beginning of it, then it will be quite a while before we are able to mitigate its effects. If we stopped driving, or putting any co2 into the air, right now, we still have the stuff we put up there to deal with. Things are going to get warmer, it is essentially inevitable at this point.

    Yeah, but I bet prostitutes treat their lawyers better, much, much better;)

  7. More lies from the RIAA on RIAA Bullies Witnesses Into Perjury · · Score: 1

    All of these companies DO NOT support the RIAA. Someone earlier pointed out that Fat Wreck Chords does not support them. I would guess that Epitaph does not either. I would further venture that there are other labels on the list that are wrong.

  8. Wrong Negroponte on Negroponte's Talk at Emerging Technology Conference · · Score: 1

    That is John, we are talking about Nicholas.

    Nice troll though.

  9. Re:Methinks the whole approach is wrong on Negroponte's Talk at Emerging Technology Conference · · Score: 1

    From the Laptop website:
    "The laptop will have a 500MHz processor and 128MB of DRAM, with 500MB of Flash memory; it will not have a hard disk, but it will have four USB ports"

    That sounds a lot like thin client hardware to me. I think the idea is to create a meshnet between the laptops and some sort of central server and then push info to the kids. That and let them look things up online at the same time.

    You make no sense.

    Yes; speed, resistance and cost would play a minor cost, It would be nothing in even the short/medium range and everything in the long range.
