Using your logic by the time we find out CO2 is NOT the cause we will have destroyed the world economy and have the devastation to humanity already also.
I don't trust anyone on the Green Madness side as there has been numerous cases of hidden data that once exposed proved incorrect. So you hurry I will keep the standard of living that has extended my lifespan far above my ancestors.
Based by what do you think it will do good? Basically nothing?
The Taliban is made up of evil people that want to kill you and your family. That has been publicly broadcast by them.
Further the problem is NOT our military it is the morons in DC that insist we adhere to the Geneva Convention while LYING about what is in it. The Taliban is explicitly denied protections more than a few ways by the GC. The fact is that they are fighting in a manner that purposefully endangers civilians and confuses the US military in hopes they will kill them or at least generate bad propaganda so the useful idiots will support their side by not supporting their country. The wikileak guys don't deserve the name scum nor the protection of those whose lives are risked to keep their sad hides free.
Reading the article it seems they are talking short term. However those that say it will cause a problem are looking long term with mass conversion which is like the worry of Prius bubbles but nationwide.
Further the 2kW load does not say for how long. Is that for 2 hours or 8?
I think an electric car would be nice IF they are efficient and cost effective. Given the extreme bias toward anything claiming to be green I wonder though. Further what about drives longer than 25 miles? Taking a two hour drive north might mean stopping for 4 to recharge. Or what about trucks and RVs? The solution and thought pattern seems very city centric with all the country people having magic happen.
When I was in school I talked with a couple of instructors (I tended to finish tests early) that pointed to specific students that were cheating. Guess what the punishment was? Nothing is the correct answer. What the schools need to teach is accountability and that is the exact opposite of how the self esteem factories that have been created function. That includes the teachers at the grade school level who are virtually unaccountable once tenure is obtained.
But if the car consumes electricity in an inefficient manner and the grid you use has high loses from an inefficient power plant then it might create MORE emissions. If you want feel good physics that is fine, but I prefer reality. The reality is that the car consumes energy that DOES come from an emissions generating source and you have merely concentrated the quantity at one place and for most green madness victims this also starts a NIMBY fight to eliminate that source. This A/C unit IS NOT as efficient as claimed but they are pumping the numbers up to fish suckers in so they can make a crap load of money from their patent. This is becoming a common practice as the smug people multiply.
This is another typical over statement. They calculated the efficiency without including the energy that is required to reverse the desiccant used thus the calculation is misleading at best and really just a lie. This seems to be a trend that started with "zero emissions" cars that had the electricity magically appear.
Believe it when you see calculations based on a closed loop system as I am betting that the efficiency advantage will tumble a LONG way.
"A source close to the selection process said a central element in Obama's choice was Kagan's reputation for bringing together people of competing views and earning their respect. "
Sad that this kind of crap is an issue. How about finding someone that will honor and defend the constitution
If that was what it was paying for then I would have no issue. Instead it pays for a school system that has declining effectiveness with rapidly increasing cost and decreasing responsiveness. Roads that are poorly maintained. A ton of give away programs that are intended to redistribute wealth and buy votes. Pork and self serving programs. Of course this is my state but from my reading I am unaware of any that are that different.
The sad fact is that in many places the government take is closing in on that of the store owner actually running the place (likely it makes more at many grocery stores) All to feed the endless hunger of the government to expand.
Reality is that if the states had a reasonable tax it would not be economical to have an item shipped rather than pay the tax and sales would increase locally.
This attitude sucks, "If you dont like it, then get another job" roughly paraphrased.
Bullshit.
People seem to forget that without workers, the value of a company is nothing. Trying to hand-wave away problems on the premise stated above forgets that the most socially valuable part of a business isn't the product, nor is it the employer or shareholders, but the employees , the value they bring to society and the fair reward they get for their labor.
We SHOULD be discussing what makes a pleasant workplace, because the fair alternative is we all stop working.
But that isn't going to happen.
My alternative: Bosses: If you don't like the employees simple requests that make the day pleasant and productive, [i]get the hell out of business and hand management over to someone who will[/i].
Putting up with injustice , even by just walking away , makes you complicit in that injustice.
Wow that was stupid! Businesses are not in place to furnish you with a paycheck or social good. Business exists to make a profit. They profit by providing products and services at a fair price. Grow up and get over your socialist claptrap.
Now if you were to argue that happy employees are more efficient and create better products I would agree. Therefore good management attempts to provide a pleasant environment at a low cost to maximize profit. The management in this example is clueless and guessing on what the effect of music players is. Likely the opinion was formed on what the effect would be on his job not a programmer's job and that the manager has never actually coded.
So if the two are comparable this is just a bunch of busy body bureaucrats that are increasing the cost of doing business in California while wasting a ton of resources with double enforcement.
I agree with your points but the court actually did the right thing. Free speech should not just be for your side nor even for stuff that does not hurt your feelings. Beck should have been able to just laugh it off and it is sad that many of us have that same failing as we all lose freedom when someone whines.
By this logic it would seem two things happen that law enforcement might not like. First since it is not in your possession how can you be compelled to provide a key for decryption of something that is not 'yours' Further providing that key might even be a violation of law since you are cracking an encrypted piece of software.
Though the original logic actually makes sense from a law enforcement perspective what of general access. If you have no expectation of privacy could an ISP open every piece of email and sell the contents?
Home is fine except for the capacity. Can the existing grid support the transfer? Can your house? Can the current infrastructure GENERATE the power?
The answer to all of the above is no. Nor will changing that be easy or fast. Try to build a new power plant and see how long it takes. The current administration is more into shutting them down if they use coal. The plug in the wall is not magic people.
Further what about travel? Are hotels going to expand their power grid to act like filling stations for the people that stay the night? Will your workplace?
Then add in the 2 years of improvement by management mandate is like getting good advice on stocks from a crack head, it can happen but doesn't.
The impact on me from this is ZERO. Yes if you are trying to jam the last tiny bit on a DVD this could bite you but for day to day use anyone here that cares needs to get over themselves. There is so much more to size as others have stated. The Get Info is just a close estimate due to other related data anyways. This is a discussion for Lawyers and the perpetually victimized slime of the world.

Her ideas bordered on crazy so I would not take much of what she claims as real.
She hated motorcycles and wanted to mandate changes, here is one idea:

Of course co-patients might be more accurate as the place seems like a loony bin.

No worries I am sure they will have my flying car ready by then as predicted.
To late it already has started to come true.
Now those same hippies are in charge
You realize that people have been predicting disaster like you are for generations right?
Obama actually has people in his administration that predicting over population has already killed us (which obviously has not occurred)
Also NASA National AERONAUTICS and SPACE administration not the global warming church. Close it or do the work it was meant for.

How is this not fraud? It is intentional deception for profit. They should go to jail. The execs, the boss and the interns.
