He's saying it isn't front page news every week. He's implying that if a Republican was in the White House, the media would be preaching global warming at every turn, just like they used to.
Look, the human body is a massively complex thing, but we can still say that calorines in > calories spent it = weight gain.
The problem with that analogy is that is seems people forget about the fact that a human can start exercising, therefor burning more calories that previously, and lose weight while taking in an even larger amount of calories.
In other words, models are based on one scenario, and then not accurately corrected as reality shows them to be wrong.
He didn't say it was wrong. He said they focus more on rights that lead to the empowerment of the socialist/communist, and not so much on rights that do the opposite.
I'll give you the point on the power. But the writeup seemed to make it out that you need to do this project with a PI, rather than any standard computer that can handle two network interfaces.
"Couldn't I do that with one of the old Dell's I have laying around here? Sure, I would have to add a wireless network card (or wired feeding a switch and wireless access point (or how about the spare laptops I've piled up around me? They already have have both the wired and wifi and their cracked screen won't be a hindrance.)) but it's not like this is some magical tech only a PI can do.
. Okay, part of that is my second and third reaction. But my point stands.
The reason for using weapons matters, not just the fact that someone is willing to open fire.
So why do you expect them to start assassinating government officials, rather than using the ballot box to vote in politicians who they like? Isn't the reason for not using weapons also important?
You can paint them as extremists and nut jobs, but they haven't started killing people to impose their political beliefs on you, have they?
Basically, you are just spouting off about people who disagree with you. That's certainly your right, so have fun with it.
Those Ted Nugent loudmouths talk a big game and while I'm sure many are serious, most will shit themselves like he did when called to action.
I never heard that story, so thanks for referring to it. He says he didn't do so, and made up the story when talking to interviewers who were stoned. I can't say which story is reality, but it is ridiculous.
Although I disapprove of guns in schools for any reason, I'd sooner arm elementary school teachers than any of the 2nd amendment wingnuts. At least I know the people like the ones at Sandy Hook will actually put their lives on the line for what they believe in, whether or not they believe they have a right to pack heat.
Again, the ones with guns who aren't killing government officials are the "wingnuts", but you have the clarity of thought to decide who deserves to be able to defend themselves.
From what I just read of him, I wouldn't put him too far in the "right-wing" column. But as to his article, claiming that people who advocate having the means to defend themselves are simply racists, or at have an exaggerated fear of black men, is more of the same tripe that's been spewed for years by left-wingers. I'll file it in the appropriate circular receptacle.
I wonder who came up with that specific 'fact', that oil is a contaminant right at 'one part per million'. It certainly makes the "one gallon of oil can make one million gallons of water undrinkable" line sound horrible, but what is the basis in fact?
Is 0.8 ppm safe, but 1.0 deadly? What about 0.6 ppm? Is water contaminated when one gallon of oil spills into a 2-million gallon tank? For that matter, oil floats on top of water, so how does the lower 99% get contaminated? If somehow a gallon of oil was mixed into water in such a way that every molecule of oil was separate, and each molecule floated 7 inches from any other one, how many gallons would be contaminated by that oil?
But to actually rise up against the establishment? That's for college students, weed-smoking liberal hippies, unwashed OWS layabouts and Muslims.
Please provide recent examples of any of those groups actually "rising up", as opposed to simply "causing annoyance", "shouting down unapproved viewpoints", or "rioting, with a little rape thrown in".
Of course, if those gun-toting loudmouths actually used their weapons to show their disgust with the government, you would be calling them murderers and traitors, with "racists" thrown in for good measure. Give me a break; as if you actually want the right-wingers to act like you have them portrayed in your little mind. The people shooting other people are from the groups you surely think are being mistreated the most. Let's see you disarm them, eh.
everyone knwo what they mean: Guru,(80s) Then prima donna,(early 90s) Then [insert made up name] (97-2000) Then unemployed. (2001-2005) now it's rockstar.
Next week it will be 'earwig' or some other nonsense.
I've done some hardware upgrade projects at banks. CPUs, printers, MICR readers, and so on. Some of the places still run Windows 2000 on the desktops. Considering it is only a launchpad for the teller application, I guess it doesn't need the newer bells and whistles beyond network printing.
One of the Compaq mid-tower lines used those drives. Quantum Bigfoot. I worked at Computer City at the time, and every time one of those towers came in for service, it was for a bad drive. It got to the point where we would see a customer carrying one up to the counter and we would tell him/her what the problem was before they even set it down.
The really sad part was that for the first few months, we had to replace the defective drive with the same type because that's what the warranty dictated. After those customer came back in with a second loss of data, we convinced the manager to inform Compaq we would be switching to a different drive as replacement. Nothing gets results like a screaming repeat customer to the service counter.
I always wondered if the problem was that the size of the platters just made them too unstable, or if the manufacturing process had flaws.
Why start from 1980? Why not start with the end of the Little Ice Age, when the latest warming really kicked off? Everything since then is just the natural increase, with or without carbon emissions.
I'm sorry, but where does this bull shit about the altruistic scientist who is only interested in finding the truth come from? I'm currently working on my masters. At a university none the less. Yes, I work in evil, evil industry so everything I say cannot be trusted because I'm only motivated by money and greed and obviously the academics I'm surrounded by when I'm at school are the epitome of altruism. But here's what I can say. Ever semester I have been there, the same talk has been given by the senior research staff. The talk is titled "how to secure funding for your research". It really does come down to, how can you convince people that your research is worth funding. The main methods. Either convince them that they can monetize it, or convince them that they will die if your research isn't carried out. There's several ways on the "you will die" front, and saying the world will end like AGW likes to do is one of the more popular ones. Mapping asteroids for impact hasn't been as successful, hence why they're funded so badly comparatively.
But in short, I'm sorry, if you think the scientists have no agenda motivated by money, you're an effing idiot.
But that means scientists are human, and are as motivated by basic survival instincts as the rest of us. That can't be right.

"in fact, John Kerry referred to France as [our] "oldest ally" "
Well, that is true. They did help us in the Revolution.
But, yes, politicians are back-stabbing assholes in general.

The intelligent alien would use base pi.
Then memorizing pi to zillions of places would be easy.

On a related note, I don't have to change the oil in my car, not for ACTUAL USAGE, since the SLUDGE BUILDUP happens over a long time.

'"ARM SoC hardware designers all die in some incredibly painful accident."
I mean, maybe Linus hasn't had the experience of losing someone in an incredibly painful accident.
Well, how is he supposed to hope people die? Being batted by soft pillows while sitting in the comfy chair?
(I'm level headed too; I just said "no, I disagree with your assessment").
That's how I read your statement. Am I missing a sarcasm tag?
We should have a NO NON-CODERS sign like the NO GIRLS sign on your childhood clubhouse?
True social misfits never had a clubhouse.
