Climate change has nothing to do with crop failure.
Deep genetic modification, chemical additives, non-specific pesticides and herbicides (DDT and Agent Orange, anyone?) and terminal crops (Monsanto wheat, anyone? What's wrong with Canadian triticale?) are the reason for crop failures. Political wranglings are the reason behind why half the World's population can't get enough food.
Idiots like you are the reason nothing constructive is being done about it.
when there's no money to be made in creation, when the only money to be made is in litigation, then it's time to ditch ALL patents and trademarks, overhaul the system COMPLETELY and start over! And NO NEW PATENTS FOR OBVIOUS SHIT, NO NEW PATENTS FOR IDEA INCLUDING THE WRITTEN WORD OR SOFTWARE CODE AND NO PATENTS FOR RECTANGLES WITH ROUNDED FUCKING CORNERS!!
Because it's scum like that who choke the living shit out of creativity and the desire to create for fear that SOMEONE SOMEWHERE MIGHT HAVE HAD THE SAME OR SIMILAR IDEA WHILE HAVING A WANK!
Luxeon Star LEDs are Class III laser devices. Each *element* in the typical Star LED outputs 450mW, and the more powerful emitters have four or even nine elements (which would make them Class IV lasers but for the fact that they are separately clocked emitters, hence are classed as Class III). Absent a DC thermally controlled DC source of anything between 3.8-4.2V, a regulator and timer IC is required for each element to bring the supply voltage down to a safe level and to prevent a full-on lase by pulsing the emitters.
it's not overcurrent that causes lasing (since you could connect a suitably voltage-rated LED to an arcwelder and it would only draw the current it needs), it's overvoltage. High power LEDS such as the aforementioned have a narrow voltage range; the attached electronics are also regulators.
To make *any* LED lase, you need a linearly adjustable bench power supply. The point of lasing is usually about 0.1V below the burnout voltage.
SL-9 was a farside impact. This, apparently, was a nearside (not much detail in the video). We should be worried, it could easily, since it obviously came from within Jupiter's orbit, have intersected with Earth. Anybody who has access to the object's orbital parameters which show that this would have been with 100% certainty, impossible, please feel free to call me a paranoid freak at this point; but we are overdue an ELE (Extinction Level Event) by about 15 million years (I keep reading around the science journals about ELEs happening about every 50 million years, the last one was what? 65 million years ago (the K-T Event)?
High powered LED flashlights of the Luxeon, Fenix and Inforce (among others) families use timer circuits to oscillate between multiple beam elements to produce high efficiency and very bright emitters, that are capable of draining every erg from the battery.
source: I use tactical equipment. Efficiency and ruggedness is key. Keep your 5D Maglite.
The linked device is the bare LED, if you buy from that site you'll require a driver IC as well, otherwise a direct connection to a power source will cause momentary lasing before the emitter burns out. The IC prevents burnout and lasing (hence also takes the emitter out of the laser class of consumer devices).
Behold, the Internet Tough Guy. Also known as a Keyboard Warrior, he talks big shit online, and doesn't afraid of anything. Always male (for there are no girls on the internet). As he will thoroughly explain to you, he is respected and feared by ALL; no way he's skittish to casually throw around ep1c insultz and one-lieners like "go fuck yourself," or "u aint done sucking my dick." He swears a lot just to show how hardcore he is. God help you if you even dare defy him by delivering some sort of retort when he says something to you, or practicing logic on his userpage, or even reading whatever he posted and writing replies of disagreement (or even agreeing responses, in some cases) relating exactly to what you just read... No, you can't do that. No. No. You don't even know him or what he's about. Internet Tough Guy isn't someone you should mess with, ever. That's right, you cross the line and he will come to your house and fuck you up so bad and rape you so hard and kill you so god damn dead OH SHIT. You must have pissed yourself by now from these horrific threats of bodily harm. Because if someone threatens you online, that's it. Game over man. Game over! You are d-e-a-d, DEAD! Nothing can save you. Not even that new dog you just bought. You might as well kill yourself now... Actually, IRL, Internet Tough Guy, there? He's a total fag or a basement-dweller, with a high chance of being a redneck and/or skinhead. Sometimes, the Internet Tough Guy will actually be somewhat "tough." However, this makes him about four times more of a total fag. The sad reality is that these people are a concentrated form of noob, not one of whom can grasp the concept that they obviously are never actually going to be able to make good on their intimidating remarks, or that their low-IQ ramblings do not impress the Internet nor physically affect people on it in any way. More simply put, when nobodies such as themselves make empty threats and loudmouthed, prick statements to unknown persons whom they have never met and do not know the locations of, it does not equal being a badass, becoming dominant to the other users, nor actually going full ass-rape/ass-kick on someone. Many Internet Tough Guys are really into computer programming, or, at the bare minimum, love videogaming, heavy metal, and perhaps working for RBS, the investment bank that hires a lot of fake tough guy cunts. The typical Internet Tough Guy can be found in nearly every community on LJ but often resides in his parent's basement for at least 7 days a week. (And not because he's trying to make it into an imaginary apartment, either). Usually, his parents banished him to the unfinished, wet, moldy, cold and dark basement because they couldn't stand either his smell or the fact that he is a disgrace to the family name. 99.9999% chance he is also subject to frequent pwning. By everyone. (He won't admit it, though. He "won" because he swore a lot. And disabled replies.) From furry communities, to fandom communities, to political communities, the Internet Tough Guy is one of the many stock users that make up a community.

Furfags Many furries who are furries are Internet Tough Guys as well. Fed up with fursecution at the hands of trolls, they often resort to threats of physical violence and will start talking about how much they can bench press. Mentioning muscle mass, level of physical fitness, etc. are all a part of being an Internet Tough Guy. By mentioning this they feel they are intimidating their opponents, but in are reality making them LOL REPEATEDLY. Trolls being everywhere and trolls they are, this induces them. Sometimes they might say to a man who commented on a hot girl that "If she was my daughter, you'd be singing Soprano", when the truth is, this guy DOES sing Soprano, he couldn't find a wife or have kids if he wanted to, and if he really saw you, he'd shit his pants in fear. His disagreement over a hot girl confirms that he's a fag, but most people forget to remind him of that, and take the tough guy
yeah, I remember that... notwithstanding my previous post.
It's called "versioning" and it was left out of Office 2007. It was replaced with a downloadable package called Office Migration Planning Manager, which includes a Version Extraction Tool so you can save previous versions in Office 97-2003 documents as separate files.
That said, Versioning is still a feature available in Sharepoint, whatever the hell that is.
gasoline makes up something like 40% of crude oil (source: Congressional Budget Office). So the "everything else" makes up the majority use of crude components. Almost the entire production of gasoline goes into internal combustion engines*, with a tiny tiny portion going to fuel Zippo lighters.
*in the following proportions:
Private vehicles: 35% Military vehicles: 25% Public Services: 15% Freight: 20% Other (including power generation for hybrids): 5%
...something of a subnote (not so small as a netbook, 10-12" panel is fine, 14 at a push). My kids loved K12LTSP/Fedora as a platform, it's cram packed with educational software, games and your usual desktop environment stuff; what it'll run on these days is pretty much what other people are binning because they can't get Vista running on it!
Millions of people use Microsoft Word. That doesn't make most of them experts. In fact, I've never seen it used either effectively nor efficiently*. Should it too be considered a specialised tool because of its complexity/feature-flood? I say yes. Is it something I would consider using?
No. I'm not prepared to fork out X amount for what's really just a glorified typesetter app with features 99% of users don't use and/or don't know how to use. I don't need the Peltzer Bathroom Buddy if all I want to do is knock in a nail.
*FWIW, I use a plaintext editor for compositions, and simple markup for formatting *after* the content is done. I say simple markup, it's XML, usually, depending on where it's intended for (sometimes I use a postscript editor). For me, that's efficient.
wait... are you saying you own the exclusive rights to a radio signal emanating in cleartext, in all directions from the point of origin (being your house) at the speed of light??
Home network on a fully tethered topography. No wireless.
Wireless LAN on a different subnet, connected via another firewall to the Home network.
So you have:
Internet-Firewall1-LAN1-Firewall2-WLAN2
With this at any point you can physically disable the wireless simply by unplugging the power supply from that router and not disturb the rest of the network. You can also cap bandwidth to the WLAN from any terminal off the LAN1 router and there's not a thing anyone connecting via the WLAN can do about it. Want to apply filters? Use the functionality on the LAN1 router, if it's available.

Shell are already drilling. I think this is part of a race to claim the reserves up there.
last time I checked, there was no ice in the North Sea. It's too violent for the crystallisation of salt water.
I wonder if this could be anything to do with the fact that Shell are drilling the sea bed under the Arctic ice?

Well played, worthy adversary. Well played.

The police operate under restrictions as to what they can do and how they go about it - which is why that logic fails.
