True, electrical cars are not zero pollution vehicles, but they certainly ARE more clean than gas, or even hybrid powered cars, because those all "allegedly bad" big power plants are more efficient in converting whatever they use to energy, than small car-motor sized ones. And it all being in same place makes it easier to filter emissions if it becomes necessary.
So you can, for example, keep slashdot in one window, and stories/comments in tabs, and totally unrelated websites in different windows, and things like that, unclutters the window list and keeps things bit more "organized".
Oh, they would bitch about it in moz too, if it could not be used without MDI at all. When you WANT tabs, they are good, but when browser forces to use them all the time they suck.
Yeah. It's been SIX YEARS since IE 1.0, who knows how much before that, to get IE 6.0 out, and there's still existing bugs! (and quite a bit more of them than in mozilla 1.0)
And why the hell they need to use any existing law? They can very well write their own, using any, or none, as template if they wish to do so.
And what does it matter that UN doesn't manage territory? Laws are not for managing territory, they are for managing humans.
It's not like law of ANY Earth nation or organization is even directly suitable for new colony, conditions and requirements are different, just about everything is different.
No. It just looks like sail, but it's rigid structure, and nothing like cloth.
There was a story about sprayable solar collecting material "paint" some time ago, that would probably do the trick, when (if?) it will be working and cheap enough for commercial use.
But it doesn't matter whether it is ~, separate directory, partition or even whole disk as long as your user account (and the virus) has read/write access to it.
And who the hell has been talking about doing anything autonomoysly? Give the shuttle, or preferably something like the thousand times cheaper alternative being developed, which is what this article is about, to the private companies, let _THEM_ do all Earth orbit work, be it scientific or commercial and redirect all the money that is poured into that now into solar system exploration.
Yeah, it's not going to happen today, or tomorrow, but it should be a long term goal. Should've been years ago.
Well, cheap orbital vehicles might make NASA obsolote for near earth operations, but if they could then put all their resources into deep space stuff, they would be far from obsolote overall, and maybe even get something real DONE instead of playing delivery boys for satellites, which is a job that should be left for private companies.
Then you don't know how to replant forests, come and visit Finland, for example (Canada might have some nice managed forests too, if you want something closer to home...), those trees are quite certainly in better condition, and bigger than their relatives in natural forests, they are less overdense, because they don't grow randomly, and most certainly are used as lumber.
Not that it is totally good thing, animals, for example, don't do well in that kind of forests, but from purely tree point of view...
Most of the time, it's not really the hardware that doesn't support it, but the crappy windows drivers.
I've got paraller port scanner that has onspec scsi adapter chip on it, in Linux, I can load/unload that module whenever, which is just what hibernate support needs, but the windows driver of the same thing still prevents all hibernate attempts.
If you strip XP down until it's Win2k, why use the XP in first place - what the hell does it have that w2k doesn't, excepting all that useless and bloating eyecandy?
Sure you do, it's called the right to steal. It's my computer and I make the rules - not you.
It's my code, and I make the rules - for example come and smash your computer - sure there cannot be anything bad in that, because anything like property, be it intellectual or material, doesn't exist, it's just illusion congress made to take out our rights. So it's not YOUR computer, there is no such word as YOUR. Of course, without those rules, there would not be anything like computer, and you would still be killing yourselves with sticks - nothing bad in that, though, maybe enough would kill eachother that you'd cease to exist altogether.
Would be nice to see such an anachist civilization of trolls, from damn afar of course, nasty critters, those.
That's an enlightened view, I imagine they said the same thing when it was proposed that the world isn't actually the center of the universe. You didn't even read the article did you?
I _DID_ read the article, the article that didn't have even ONE reference, it did say that _ONE_ professor believes that, did not any reasons or evidence why the said professor believes it nor have I seen anything about it after since, and it was over two years old (actually over ten years old), and seems like nothing reasonable has become of it, or the "simple google search" would find dozens and dozens of more hits... even after that google search and reading dozens of more articles, still nothing concrete, just piece of text that says that one man somewhere in Canada believes speed of light isn't a constant.
Sure it's not very wise to believe that nothing will ever change, but it's certainly not very wise to believe any theory out there just because it exists, either. Anyone can give me crapload of hard evidence that the world isn't the center of the Universe, Moffat doesn't seem to have anything to give except his opinion.
12V battery? How is that supposed to work? Most (all?) gas lasers have HORRIBLE efficiency, combine that to the fact that dry human body is quite good resistor so unless you spray them with something like salt water first, you need to pump quite a bit of amps down the "wire" to get deadly, or even stunning effect and it would probably drain the battery so damn fast it would be pretty useless.. maybe it could work with portable fuel cell.
And it's rather strange how real science again trails after fiction, how many books or computer games we have with guns that shoot down lightning?
_Probably_? you have any facts to support your claim? And no, _one_ nutcace "scientist", who, by the article, is very likely one of those horrible YEC cre(a)ti(o)nists who have to try to invent most stupid theories imaginable to support their childs tale of earth being young.
You can say "probably" when most of the physicists believe this, which is not going to happen, any time soon, probably never.
Small change of nuclear plant leaking radiation resulting in a contamination of rather small area is helluva lot better than 100% change of burning fossil fuels resulting in a vast increase of average temperature, affecting whole globe.
Besides those coal plants do emit not only greenhouse gases, but also, for example, radioactive particles - take out a geiger counter and go to an ash pile of large coal plant - results might surprise you... and THOSE are spewed right out into the atmosphere instead of being hidden safely deep inside Earth like nuclear waste.
What is horrible is not having armies of college students coding, but having armies of lousy "farmers" who won't even bother patching their systems running all those servers.
No one is perfect, and no one human can code perfect software, and it is not reasonable to expect it, there will always be bugs, live with it, people.
Sending marines into the other countries is what caused 9/11 in the first place. It WILL NOT PREVENT it happening, it will cause it to happen more often.
Is that so very hard to understand? Those people are not killing anyone just for the fun of it, they are doing it to hit you from meddling in their affairs, that are none of your business. Sending more bombers does not stop it, it will just give some normal people who didn't have anything to do with terrorism, and for example lost relatives in pointless "war" a very good reason to get bitter, and maybe join the ranks of al'Qaeda, or whatever, and in addition it will start a cycle of revenge and revenge of the revenge, and....
That would be because the natives were, and still are, every bit as much humans as the settlers were - microbes will not care about your skin color. Those diseases affected only the species they've been evolving for, humans, and certaily did not jump into a plants, or even animals for example - and plants and animals are quite a bit more nearly related to us than anything from different planet would be.
There are rather few inter-species pathogens, and even those are results of thousands or millions of years of evolution, with those same host species present. Space microbe cannot infect human, or any other earthling, because it has never adapted into living in one.
Evolution is the key here - space fungus would not benefit from same traits than its the earthbound predecessor, if cosmic radiation by change mutated something that would've done well on Earth, it would lose those quite fast to save energy and give way to strains with new charasteristics better fitted into space. Now when that thing crashed down there, it has zero change of taking over the world, because it has specialized into very different environment, it's very ancestors will outcompete it with ease.
A sail hundreds of kilometers wide may seem like a big target for asteroids to hit, but it is really nothing. Those rocks aren't whizzing about up there right next to each other, Sci-Fi asteroid fields where rocks seem to floating at distances of few meters of each other are just that - fiction. You can probably go right trought the asteroid belt and still not get within thousands of km's from the nearest big asteroid.
Sorry, but you're going to be waiting for your warp drive for a looooooong time, if they ever get anything done. It may be theoretically possible, but amounts of energy required for something like bending space and time will be out of our reach for a long time, perhaps forever.
The solar sail technology, on the other hand, is working right now, and could be within few years, if someone would be willing to dump enought money in ship.
Well, that might have been it ten years ago, but on any modern distro, you fire up your up2date, apt-get, or equivalent, get and install those patches almost automatically, and then you either boot or don't boot, depending on if it's kernel bug or in user land.
Just happens to take a lot less time and effort than to download the latest patch from microsoft, and boot n times.

I think combination of both is best.
