I didn't know there was a new MK coming out. Thanks Australia for the heads up! You can always count on censorship to raise awareness of things I'm interested in.
So each plane sends its location back to air traffic control? How is this system secured? This will be breached repeatedly. Also, what happens when a solar storm takes out the satellites? I'm sure GPS is a better system under normal circumstances, but circumstances are not always normal.
You are right. There is a place for wind and hydro power, especially while we are still weening ourselves off of fossil fuels. Both of those have a bigger physical footprint on the landscape and tend to interfere with wildlife.
My ideal energy solution is solar power plants with nuclear plants backing them up. Maybe geothermal if much progress is made with that (I don't know much about it). All three are, in reality, "nuclear power".
And who knows what they will come out with in the future. How about roof shingles that look normal, but can collect energy? That would be pretty cool.
My point is that you can't simply write off solar and wind the way the GP does. I don't write off solar and wind. Ok, well, wind I do, but solar is awesome. I'm simply saying that if global warming is as bad as "environmentalists" say, we should be willing to except any alternative that does not produce greenhouse gases.
Of course there are reasonable alternatives to nuclear (solar being the best). But if someone is opposed to nuclear while global warming is out killing babies (or whatever it is this week), then they are nefarious. Solar should be the goal, but if someone is protesting nuclear while we get closer and closer to doomsday, then they do have an ulterior motive.
Democrats wield the threat of global warming like Republicans do terrorism. It is a way to control people with fear. Others seem to use environmentalism as a way to attack capitalism (Kyoto, etc.). I really don't know all the reasons. But if you buy in to the global warming (or, climate change, or whatever they call it these days), but still don't approve of nuclear power, you obviously have other interests.
Because there can be only one threat? If global warming is going to kill us all in a few years (as many would have you believe), then there is no comparison to the effects of nuclear power.
I think the global warming problem is worse, so nuclear power is probably a necessary solution, but it's not a panacea. I'm with you on that. Nuclear power is a temporary solution. Solar power is probably the goal.
I am not very concerned about global warming, but I am for energy independence and clear energy, regardless.
It is easy to know if he will support this or not. Are coal miners unionized? If so, they probably vote Democrat. If that is the case, Nuclear power is out, "Clean coal" is in.
You can not think global warming is both human caused and a genuine threat and not be for nuclear power. Yes nuclear power has its own problems, but far better than the purported consequences of global warming. Keep your eyes open for "environmentalists" that are against nuclear power. Those people have other interests in mind. "Environmentalism" is just their tool.
I didn't know they had this feature. With Blockbuster, my fiancee and I order one movie for her, one movie for me, and one for us. It can sometimes be difficult to manage. I would have switched back to Netflix if I knew about this. Too bad they are getting rid of it.
Which is why Ron Paul would be a better choice. But if Bob Barr believes even only half of the positions he currently advocates, he is still better than any Republican or Democrat.
Exactly. I voted for Bush in '04 as what I felt to be the "lesser of two evils". Now I have to live with that. I should have voted Libertarian, which is what I plan to do this time (or write in Ron Paul).
I'm not sure if it is the biggest selling point, but Final Fantasy games always have above average, if not almost revolutionary graphics at their release.
I was talking about alignment in terms of D&D 4e, not previous editions. Unaligned does not mean that you are not good or lawful. It just means you do not devote yourself fully to law or good, or anything else. Unless you fully devote yourself to fighting evil and injustice, you are not Lawful Good. This is not my opinion, this is the way the system works in 4e.
I can not link to it now because it is blocked at work, but there was a article a few days ago on http://www.wizards.com/dnd.
Most people in the world are unaligned. Having any alignment at all represents an unusual person.
A person who helps others, gives to charity, and always obeys the law is probably "unaligned". The person who devotes his life to fighting evil is "good".
Basically, they have mostly done away with the alignment system. Most PCs should be unaligned. It is a good move.
Slashdot Mirror
I liked it, but it has no business being on slashdot. It isn't news. (No, I'm not new here.)
Tied over 20 games...seems about what I would expect from a human.

Submission isn't your only option. They offer another.
Not working for me either in FF or IE. Though I get no js errors. Just a prompt where I can't type anything.
If we don't have enough cybersecurity experts, why are we passing a law requiring licensing, which will only bar more people from the field?
Stop with the ads! That's like the 4th one today.
I don't appreciate your sarcasm. You aren't one of those GPS-deniers are you? There is a consensus now. Deal with it!

As I understand it, holomagical disks will be loaded with so much DRM, nobody will be allowed to view the contents. Period.

Or am I missing something?

Voting for the least evil candidate is why we continually have candidates like Obama and McCain.

I agree. Laws are only used for their original purpose and are never abused.
