Did you use "blueforce tracker" or "FBCB2"? Then you HAVE seen it. It's BSD, X, and Gnome. There's tons of stuff in service like that.
And you sort of have a choice: leadership in the combat arms like the Infantry or technical skills in places like Signal. Or you can be a pouge who acts all hardcore, even though an 11B PFC has boots with more roadmarch miles than you.
xbl has done a pretty good job of streamlining the indie-game process. They've made it simple enough that allowing indie-devs to publish games equates to almost NO EXTRA WORK on the part of MS. Which is smart.
Of course there are admin costs, but dev fees and sales quite handily make up for that. The fact is, putting a limit on the number of indie games is an active act, requiring work. The end result can only have lead to lower indie sales.
I agree with you that some people look for the conspiracy everywhere, but in this case MS took an action that would lead to less indie sales. I can only think that was in response to some external stimuli (major game publishers).
Don't get me wrong, I agree that it SEEMS TO ME that wind harnessing is likely less problematic than FF pollution.
However, the cavalier attitude toward taking energy from a balanced system (wind) is NO better than a cavalier attitude toward putting too much CO2 in a balanced system (ff).
And your assertion that anyone who disagrees with you is a paid corporate shill...omfg. Do you REALLY think the PV and wind companies don't employ shills? All those PV and windgen salesmen whispering in the ears of city councilmen, the "studies" funded by wind and PV companies. The Sierra clubs "ecconomics" studies about renewable energy? If they were oil interests, you scream "shill"...but these guys have no agenda, right?
Hey...are there any wind turbine factories currently operating on wind power alone?
You have an excellent point. Soldiers are trained, on purpose and by simple byproduct of the job, to think of things as us vs. them. You almost WANT things adversarial.
Imagine yourself having to surveil a group of people... The very fact that you ARE surveiling them means they are bad...otherwise, why do it? (In your mind). How many months go by before you start hoping they do something bad? Wishing? Nit-picking reasons for action? Besides...they are the enemy, so the ends justify the means. This is basically every soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan in an Observation Post, staring at people thru binos and rifle scopes for 12ish hours a day for a year, and I should know.
Sad state of affairs to do this to your own country. A free country. How can a California city afford this, anyway? IOU: 1 surveillance society.
the prius ad's gush about how the '09 model accounts for a thousand patents alone. my '06 prius said the same stuff. these patents are a source of pride for them.
His author algorithm probably just parses the first 3 chars of the last name. I hated The Difference Engine enough to avoid at least 2 other others for collateral damage.
In contrast to garbage like Clancy where he explains everything every time, in every novel, as if retards are his target audience. I'll take Neuromancer, Mono Lisa Overdrive, Count Zero, Idoru, and Image Recognition any day. Although The Difference Engine I hated.
...or: Utah and Mormonism are almost synonymous. Mormons go on their "missions" from age 19 to 20 to convert more mormons. MANY of them must learn a foreign language to do it. So Utah ends up with the best linguist pool in the nation. So they get a couple NG linguist units to utilize the pool. Their "moral" lifestyle makes them more likely to get TS clearances than most Americans....and bingo. Linguists + TS clearance = NSA ties.

I have a hybrid, so no more carpooling for me, suckers!
Oh sure...i didn't say the guy didn't stoop to motherfuckertude to do it. I just pointed out the name for that kind of transaction. (:
Arbitrage in action. Gotta love it!
I thought it was a Playboy appearance that killed Tasha Yar.

what I can only describe as a shocker...
Could it affect the climate? Yes. Is it a reason to worry? No.
I just heard the exact same argument about carbon dioxide.
I think it's both.

It's part of the "special relationship". We get place names, they get the global shadow government.

Then, 3rd world countries usually get them. So they would care about Classilla.
I think the productive effect of said training is highly dependent on the degree to which it was voluntary.

So what did Toyota do that prevents competitors from innovating something better?
