I can't say that I believe in AGW in the same way Christians believe in god. I can't say that I've heard arguments in favor of AGW that didn't accept that our climate is constantly changing, either. It would seem that the argument is that the climate is warming more than it would without mankind's influence.
Many people, like myself, who aren't scientists, but accept that there could be some AGW are more interested in solutions to any ensuing apocolypse. Those solutions are often built upon the "Tree of Knowledge called the Industrial Revolution". There could be no mass manufacture of wind turbines, solar panels, fuel cells, electric cars or anything else that we dream up without the foundations of the Industrial Revolution. What we are suggesting is a Green revolution, which as a side affect disenfranchises energy suppliers that make all of their profit from non-renewable sources. It also disenfranchises localities that rely heavily on those non-renewable resources. For decades those same entities have been engaged in practices which we know to disenfranchise their employees and citizens, and which we have reason to believe disenfranchises the rest of the world. There is a big difference between accepting the likelihood of something that is supported by a broad selection of data, and another to believe a book that has no second sources.
What's more, the religious fanatics seem to rejoice in the glee of their apocolyps, as only the sinners get burned. Those of us that consider the merits and logic of scientific research are worried that everyone will get burned.
Bacteria typically reproduce asexually, they are single celled organisms that divide. Fungi reproduce sexually, and are multi-celled organisms. That is the most basic difference that I can come up with off the top of my head. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to wiki it for you.
One reason that this is pretty basic stuff is that most scientists see sexual reproduction as one of the driving factors of evolution. If you went to a highschool that taught creationism instead, I feel sorry for you.
I'm a W-2 contractor, and I'm uninsured. The price for insurance through the group plans is more expensive than I could find individually. Beyond this, I've been to a doctor about 1.4 times per year for the last 5 years, and the average bill was near $150. I could pay $200/month for insurance, or I can pay $300/year for pay as I go. I'm only making the same bet the insurance companies do, only on a smaller scale.
What about catastrophic care you ask? That's what medical bankruptcy is for, I answer.
where do you think these single payer systems gain the medical advances they need to efficiently and effectively treat people?
Many of our big pharma firms here in the US get grants from Taxes, corporations and non profits to create new drugs. Many of the companies patenting new drugs are patenting minor changes and re-branding and marketing the new product for big money. The pharma argument is bogus and invalid, the drug patent system is broken. All the new drugs need to prove is that they are no more dangerous for the population, not that they provide material benefit over previous drugs.
In fact, much of modern medicine is taught and researched at publicly funded teaching university hospitals. Once again, we're already paying for a significant amount of the breakthroughs with our tax dollars. Big pharma and malpractice insurance are the industries that are getting wealthy, and it's at the expense of the lower and middle classes. What happened to the Health Care bill? For one thing, insurance companies are now hiking up thier premiums to finance their lobying expense from last year.
In short, We the People will continue to fund research, as will billionares who feel that they need to help the communities that helped them (charitable organizations such as The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation)
It's a strange culture we live in, where depictions of violence and aggression are somewhat encouraged and depictions of the natural human form are repressed. I know that I'm part of it, from what I'm willing to let my children see, but I can't say that I fully agree with its acceptiblity. Ultimately this leads many to brag about violence and be ashamed of their bodies (male or female.)
I say THINK OF THE CHILDREN our culture encourages them to fire (toy) guns at eachother and shows them that there are examples of murder that are *just*, however tries to keep simple anatomy secret and taboo. We should damn well be the opposite, ashamed of violence and proud of our bodies.
I'm afraid it can only be represented in negative LoC's as it's an extra spammy article, refrencing a sales brochure for Symantec. 10 brain cells were completely wasted in reviewing TFA, as well as 3 mouse clicks to close out the full screen ads.
So . . . Where's the Bruce Lee Bot Net in all this? Will it be involved in some botnet tournament, fighting over Linksys, D-Link and Netgear routers in a winner takes all competition?
Only time will tell if this botnet can withstand the test of time, only to appear in really cheesey YouTube shows about a botnet turned good out to beat some serious Texas Worm's butt.
It couldn't be frustration that they have a phone that hardly makes or receives calls is the reason. Two of my family members have iPhones, both live in populated areas, and neither of them ever answers when I call, but return calls hours later. On the other hand I have this ugly iPhone look alike that operates on the Verizon Wireless network, is horrible at all the things the iPhone is good at but is actually not connecting calls.
This revalation seems to be seeing some _resistance_ from the/. community. However, given the number of posts, perhaps it has the _power_ to _electrify_ this community, which often does get the _current_ pun.
And this would be the precise reason that I and many people like me are disconnecting their landlines in favor of their cell phones. I'd rather run the risk of not having phone service than continue to fund the local telco monopoly.
Actually, the cost of the upgrades should come out of the $200 Billion that Hatta (162192) mentioned below. The BIG problem with this is that it would seem the money was handed out without:
(a) A mandate with a specific goal.
(b) Mileposts clearly specified for progress toward that goal.
(c) Follow through by Government regulators (wait, could this be that?)
(d) Payment per milepost acheived, due upon delivery not upon agreement to consider delivering.
Quake 3 had an SMP version that did perform significantly better on MP systems, before multiple core processors where available to retail users. It has been done, just hasn't become popular.
IANAME (I Am Not a Mechanical Engineer) but I know that there are "Drop in" replacemnets for the pistons in my Moto Guzzi motorcycle that boost compression ratios. It would be really interesting to learn if conversion kits for existing vehicles could be an option.
But Flash is an amazing platform enabling us to view and use content on the web . . . that we used to be able to download or purchase for fat clients on MUCH slower systems with less memory. In fact even all the embedded proprietary formats which required us to have other applications installed used fewer resources. We can thank Adobe for the latest push of demand for memory and processor cores.
The most interesting part of this amazing corporate welfare is that Microsoft has to offer no concessions for it. Usually I read about corporations getting offered tax incentives for moving into a state, or building a new facility in one. This is more of a pat on the back and a thank you. This sure reminds me of Leona Helmsley.
Perhaps the best thing he could have done, considering his pride as a "security consultant", would have been to inform the admins of how he got in, and stopped there. He may have even been able to, as a "security consultant", find a legal profession doing "penetration testing."
He could have even started a consulting firm doing penetration testing. Most of the people that I've met that own construction related small businesses have "done time". Tolerance of risk seems to be better served making good money legally.
If I were to record it as well as I hear, I may be able to get by with 32 or 64 bit quality.
At that rate, I might be able to get away with 5 to 10 of these. If recorded similar to hearing loss patterns, most likely it could be done with variable-bit-rate, degrading to 16 bit near the end.
I'm sorry, but you're missing one of the key concepts of economics.
value != cost_of_manufacture + margin
value == demand/supply
The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what it costs to make, what matters is what the market will pay for it. That is the constant argument that is made for the price that is paid for every other good or service.

Yes, and their Highschool cheer is:

Pronounced as specified above.

7 teraelectron volts isn't even current.

Nope, that's what happens when Apple buys them out, and institutes DRM at the data link layer.
