Sloth, stupidity. No knowledge of computers. What we need is a last gasp of this crap, with companies who are sued for ridiculous mundane stuff like this to sue the patent office for frivolous and bad patents. Though I dunno if you can sue the USPO
Can you file a patent for issuing patents? Would the uspo have thought to do that? Get that, then sue them for patent infringement on issuing patents in the most frivolous case ever.
Ok Mr smartypants, how would you come up with an informed energy policy without running models for different hypothetical future energy usage patterns?
You are asking someone who probably believes that the laws of physics has a liberal bias, so my guess id "Drill Baby Drill!"
But "if nothing changed" is an absurd assumption, it's saying, "if there was no technological progress in the next 200 years". Its the same ridiculous assumption that all Malthusian predictions of disaster make, and why they never come true.
Hyperbolic histrionics much? Using present trends is a time honored way showing what happens if present trends are followed.
Tell me of the scientific value of these technological progress events and exactly what the progress consists of. As well, tell me of the political climate and exactly how it will unfold in the future.
They extrapolate something, your version of science involves knowing the details of the future.
300-400 million years to form supposedly. The Oregon Rainforest Coal Deposits tell a different story- they're only a few feet down, possibly two or three millenia old, and are constantly replenished by the living forest sitting on top of them.
Thanks for the info - Is this the Coos bay deposits? a 15 by 30 mile area of subbituminous deposits. As well, it's interesting - normally a millennia or three only produce peat, not that.
So if we were to slow down our rate of pollution and increase forest growth than over time we could burn all the fossil fuels and not raise the temperature to obscene levels. As the carbon in the air will be absorbed to the mass of vegetation.
We would have to make certain that it wasn't released back into the atmosphere. A re-sequestering to emulate the previous sequestering that we released. Because the coal and oil and gas are just sequestered carbon from ages ago.
And unless humans start to think differently, we'd just burn the new plant life we grew for fuel anyhow.
The article makes absolutely NO MENTION of time frame
Absolutely no mention, except for the six mentions of time frame in the article: "by year 2300", "in 2300" (twice), "during the 2100-2300 period" (twice), "to the year 2300", plus 3 mentions of the 2100 time frame. And I stopped to count before even reaching the end of the first page (out of 6)
HEY! if denier says no mention, then there was no mention. Now quit being mean. You people with your facts and figures -sheesh!
Spirit duplicators used alcohol based solvents and smelled good, much better than mimeograph prints. Spirit duplicators typically used purple ink.
You are correct.. The mimeograph was one of those names that became so common that they lost the trademark. But spirit duplicators are not mimeographs. Thanks for the correction!
They are not there to emigrate, they are working as employees of the cruise line.
Doesn't mean they're not immigrants.
Dude!
They are not American ships They are ships registered in other countries and don't serve as immigrant boats. THey are not operated by liberals or religious people trying to sneak illegal or legal immigrants into the United States, because most if not all of them are not part of rthe United States
I'll telll you what. Find me the records of immigrant employees who jump ship or whatever from cruise boats. They have contracts with the cruise lines, and none of those contracts say that they are on the cruise ship to become an immigrant. And not everyone is wishing to come to the USA, despite what you and the Don might think.
Peace out, I have no time to argue with people who would do their reputations a favor by posting as AC. Have the last word, and strut around like you won. I''m merely taking pity because my mamma taught me not to pick on stupid people.
All the patents (ok I only checked the first four) are about the front camera aka "Selfie mode", and more specifically about mirroring the image from the front camera so it looks like how you're used to seeing yourself. Also the ability to turn mirroring on/off based on a user option or when switching between front and back camera.
These things might have been novel and patentable back in 2001, the priority date for most of these patents.
As novel and patentable as scratching one's nuts. Image reversal was performed in the 80's commercially
Then the patents claim all kinds of combinations of that feature with other usual smartphone things, but only as combinations with that feature.
So it isn't one of those "How did the patent examiner miss the massive amounts of prior art?" cases.
Sloth, stupidity. No knowledge of computers. What we need is a last gasp of this crap, with companies who are sued for ridiculous mundane stuff like this to sue the patent office for frivolous and bad patents. Though I dunno if you can sue the USPO
Perhaps you'd like to link to this article that I apparently read and supported the use of Kos as a source?
No? I'm not surprised. It never happened.
Don't recall anyone saying you did
The point is that one person's trashy agenda ridden media is another's fair and balanced. And vice versa.
Which makes dismissing news for that reason weak. Giving a good dissertation on why reportage of news from a particular cite is a lie, wrong, or has a specific agenda - without just saying the agenda is conservative doodyheads or liberal hand wringers - might be a much better tactic, as witnessed boy the response you received.
Mimeograph's use ammonia. Very little will get you as wasted as a nice bit of ammonia being aired out as it dries.
They must use something else though. I remember in early grade school, when the mimeographs were handed out, every single kid would stick 'em in front of their nose and smell 'em. And it definitely wasnt ammonia. Probably Benzene or something awful.
Why not? People should be able to understand there's an infrastructure to put in place and maintain for the data transfers to occur.
What I meant was, when you make people think about moving data in terms of using up that data, then it becomes easy to rape their wallets, because people instinctively have this feeling that they consume something that's being lost - which isn't what's happening at all.
If advertisers think that adblockers are bad now - just wait till they try that trick. I'm really curious what most people pay - I stay within my cap - usually - and it takes almost nothing to hit it. A few webpages and boom there's the message from Verizon.
You do realize that cruise ship employees are not immigrants don't you?
Not one single immigrant in the entire cruise ship industry? That's a bold claim...
If they become immigrants, it doesn't have a damn thing to do with the cruise line.
They are not there to emigrate, they are working as employees of the cruise line. What some happen to do when they leave is not relevant, and has nothing to do with the cruise line.Cruise ships would have to be the strangest emigration path ever.
All I've spoken with are quite happy to be there. pay is low, but bennies are great, you can essentially bank everything but toothpaste, deodorant, and maybe uniform (IDK, but I think uniforms are provided) - no one seemed in a hurry to get off the ship.
This is how we are supposed to get a large number of people interested in coding?
Hell, I was one of those obsessives in the workplace, and I've universally caught crap about it in here. I don't think one person ever agreed with me about my work habits.
So now, we are supposed to attract young people, especially young ladies into coding with the attitude that it is the only thing you do in life beside eating and sleeping?
That's maybe 1 in a thousand people that have that outlook, and by and large, they are considered freaks.
If they had registered and posted, they would now be banned from posting. I registered here once and was banned by other users for making a few perfectly reasonable comments that they just happened to not agree with.
And at least the ones we met with (my wife enjoys interaction with the staff) a lot of students who wre saving for college.
The ones you met, were the top level of the cruise employee chain. Everyone you didn't meet work all the shit jobs, and are generally the cheapest immigrants you can find.

I like the way you think!
Maybe do it the way the IPCC does it by creating multiple scenarios based on sets of realistic assumptions.
And you pick the one you like best and declare a winner? It's obvious you don't like this scenario, so tell us one that is acceptable.

So in summary, Facebook is going to become biased in order to prevent being labeled as biased.
And now that they have facebook on the run, they won't stop until they only reference Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.
Cave baby, cave!
Look, asshole, I happen to know someone who made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, so don't getting all unit-Nazi around here!

The same company has the same lawsuit aginst the good and righteous company Samsung.

Watch. And then decide if you really want one.

Americans didn't "use" 10 trillion megabytes of data, they exchanged them.
Mobile carriers however like people to think they "use" data because then they can charge for usage more easily.
I suspect 9 trillion of those megabytes was advertisements.
In addition, it was probably the least productive data use ever.

You mean that Make-work is a good thing?
It has a negative economic impact.
All work is make work. There is no fundamental reason that humans could not go back to hunter gathering. All else is optional.
We're talking about hydrogen peroxide, right? Like people use to put on cuts to keep them from getting infected?
