You do realize we knew Perot won 19% of the vote as fast as we will know what Johnson wins, right? But you think Johnson winning half as much will be a game changer now because "internet"? You remind me of a sign I saw when I was a kid. It stated "Hire a teenager now, before they forget everything"
. I know Gary Johnson isn't likely to win, but if he gets close to 10% of the vote it'll change the entire scope of all future elections.
I remember when I was young and naive too. I voted for Ross Perot in 1992. Not so much because I thought he was the Messiah, but I felt he was the best choice at the time, and I thought it would change the scope of future electons as well. He won 19% of the vote. How well has that worked out? Why would Johnson winning half that make any difference?
Because this reef is not bleaching due to cold water, excess sunlight, or disease. It's bleaching due to warm water and the article points that out.
I can't say I've read it, but did it mention fertilizer runoff in TFA? That was a major issue for the GBR for some time. What about current changes? Granted, that may be impacted by temperature changes, but it may not even be the temperature that is the root cause. It may be a combination of environmental changes, but the temperature is the simplest one for us to notice.
"93 percent of individuals reefs had been affected by a condition known as coral bleaching (which happens when the water is too warm)"...or when the water is too cold, or when the sun shines too much, or when the corals die off from diseases brought in by ecologists who swim around the area while getting paychecks for goofing around on a boat in the tropics...
As someone who has kept coral in aquariums for several decades, I'm not sure why this post was marked troll. Other than the the part about ecologists causing a bleaching event, it's pretty accurate, though I'm assuming that part was added for humorous effect.
I tended to keep fairly high end systems which had brighter than average lighting. So I've witnessed coral bleaching due to it being kept in dimly lit systems at pet stores and holding facilities and then placed under much brighter lighting.
I've also had heaters that the thermostat became faulty and brought the temperature up to 95F. In my case, conditions were optimal in the tank when this happened and no bleaching occurred. But I've also seen bleaching occur in a couple species in a tank when the temperature hit 90F due to a chiller malfunctioning in the summer.
An individual coral colony can also bleach because a fish or other critter stresses it by picking at it. Nutrient runoff from farming can also cause bleaching, pH changes, etc. Coral is a very sensitive animal and does not do will with sudden changes or changes outside of its very small comfort zone for a lot of parameters. This includes light (brightness and wavelength), nutrient (or even inorganic particulate) content in the water, temperature, pH, water current (velocity and even oscillating vs. constant current. It can also suffocate from lack of current), oxygen content. Some marine invertebrates will only digest food that is of a specific type and size.
If they are being honest in their statement, then I'm impressed to see a company in this day and age take such steps. However the cynical side of me wonders if they knew/know what's happening and they're attempting damage control until they figure out what to do next.
This is impossible. The Japanese "honor/Bushido that is so ingrained in their culture would make this an impossibility. Truthfulness is a major pillar of Bushido. What a fucking joke.
The Government of Meiji tried to eliminate all of that samurai stuff in the 1870's starting with the Haitorei Edict. Is it any surprise that 140 years later honor isn't valued like it once was. They wanted to westernize Japan, this appears to be another step in that direction.
I didn't read the article, so I don't know what apps they used for comparison, but it would be interesting to see how doctors fair in comparison to IBM's Watson. I'd guess it would do better than a phone app.
I sometimes wonder what the general public thinks "scientists" are really like. Do they have a mental image of people standing around a lab in white coats, complete with chemistry paraphernalia and a whiteboard with complex equations on it?
Only children would think that. Grownups picture the equations on a chalkboard.
That bank is, by far, the worst when it comes to ethical treatment of customers.
They're all pretty bad. I was with a different back many years ago and they put a 3 day hold on all deposits of any kind. I had several accounts with them and my paycheck was wire transferred into this account automatically. Since the account my paycheck came into was the one I also wrote checks for bills against, I didn't think I needed to transfer any money into it to pay my bills one month. But then I had all of my checks bounce due to the 3 day hold. Of course they charged me $25 for each check and a bunch of other additional charges as well. After many phone calls and lots of bitching they returned all but $50. But it took a lot of my time to get them to do this. Once it was done I closed my accounts and went to Wachovia.
I ditched WF years ago and I am happy to be rid of them.
Unfortunately Wachovia was bought out by Wells Fargo and changing banks is a huge hassle. So I'll stay with them until they do something to really piss me off. Though I've been tempted to as I don't care for their behavior/lack of ethics.
As soon as President Hillary Clinton is in office Assange will be a dead man. The ecuadorian embassy will be stormed or destroyed. Any opposition by ecuador will be silenced by military force. Wikileaks will be shut down and anyone who has donated money will be rounded up and punished. And that will be the end of it.
Why? It's not like anything on Wikileaks has been more than a nuisance to her so far. And storming a foreign embassy in another country would do more harm to her than anything Wikileaks has done thus far. However it wouldn't surprise me to hear that Mr. Assange is eventually found dead from suicide, or choked on his dinner.
Multiple companies were involved. Do you think Motorola also ran it's own cell network? Televisions had to deal with multiple standards, issues with broadcasters not wanting to provide OTA, various connectors depending on the brand, DRM, and a bunch of other issues due to different companies and industries.
How about Blu-ray then. My first Bluray player listed for $1K (I bought it when the next years model was released for much less than that). I saw one at a store over the weekend for $35. Even worse than multiple companies, Bluray had multiple movie studios, sound companies, and an entire slew of other standards and crap to work through, including the HD-DVD format war.
I'm pretty sure air traffic control existed before always-on Internet.
So did telegrams, but try to send one from Western Union when you get a chance and let me know how that goes. I don't know how reliant ATC is on the internet, but I'd guess that the airlines are. So if you can't get your boarding pass, you don't get on the plane.
ATC is switching from radar to GPS at some point. What do you think is going to happen if there's a glitch in the GPS satellites? They won't be able to switch back to radar either. It's called modernization.
I think this is exactly right. The problem with VR right now isn't the technology - it's the fact that all the major players are trying to come out with a premium product that nobody can afford. This is why it will ultimately fail.
That's simply how new tech works. The question is whether it will catch on and able to be sold in bulk at a low enough price and for a profit. Not long ago a 720P 50 inch television was around to $50K. You can probably buy a 1080P generic brand TV for $300 (give or take) now. A Motorola 8000 cell phone was $4K in 1985. You can get a "dumb phone" now for less than $100 that has better everything (except being used to bludgeon someone). GPS is another good example. In the last 15 years or so it went from $20K to $100 to being built into a cell phone.
it'll be something that is very widespread, and will replace a good chunk of current TV, movie, and game content.
I think once it becomes affordable, some of the usage will be to replace televisions as well as portable device viewing. Actually I think that is one of the things that will help adoption greatly. People have become used to watching video on phones an tablets now, rather than being tied to the television in the living room. This will enable them to essentially get the movie screen experience without needing to get out of bed.
and if that 0.1% of data that survives is justin beiber videos and the kardashians? how the fuck will that help future apocalypse-surviving society?
Those that discover it will likely decide that the human race is not worth being a part of and kill themselves, leaving more resources for others? Sorry, that's the best I could come up with for the scenario you gave.
the problem isn't that stuff isn't being saved.. it's that *everything* is being saved. the signal to noise ratio is worse than even a comcast cable connection.
Agreed. The amount of data produced today when compared to 100 years ago is staggering. However are Kardashinan videos, grumpy cat images, and Facebook really things that need to be be remembered forever?
Can you please post a link to where you downloaded a working version of TreeStyle tabs from? I've tried to make it work in Pale Moon a couple of times, but it never would TIA.
Crockett said. "He was dancing and being funny, we would both dance on there because we can't communicate with words. It was pretty funny."
Saudi it pretty strict. Dancing may have been part of it.
One of my colleagues (male) was in Saudi for a conference last year and was going to meet with someone (female) to go over a presentation they were working. She suggested they meet in her room. The hotel staff warned them that it was a crime for them to go to either of their rooms unless they were married or related. The punishment for him was jail, she wold have been stoned to death.
I use 'open new window' method, where all tabs for any given topic are in the same window.
My monitors are 16:9 and having the tabs along the side is a better use of screen real estate. Plus it allows me to make them all wide enough(slightly narrower than the width of a single horizontal tab) to be able to read them without having to search through every one to figure out which one I'm looking for. Try having 25 tabs open with them placed horizontally across the top of the browser. You'll be lucky if you can see the first three letters of each page.

Do you think you should be liable for breaking foreign laws of a country you never stepped foot in?
So if I'm in the US just across the boarder from Canada I can shoot all of the people on the Canadian side I want?

Every food company does this now.
Except they don't. Just look at the Peanut Corporation of America from a few years ago.

In other words, it's a bunch of Bullshido.

Perhaps they can "store" them right next to all of those ET cartridges in New Mexico.

That's what you put on the top of your aluminium Christmas tree.
According to the Indonesian government, this provision stands to prevent and control cyberbullying.
Apparently only government controlled cyber bullying is allowed.

which bookmark editing features? The manage bookmarks window (library) and bookmark properties both look the same as Firefox 48.
They had been removed long before 48. It's been quite a few years actually.
So they had conversation. So what is the problem?
