If only the wind turbines were on stationary towers, then they might be able to map them, and use such a map to inform their interpretation of the radar data.
Exactly and then ignore the Doppler readings of that area, and instead take notice when a bunch of turbines suddenly go offline.
That answer is too simple! We *must* find an impossible flaw in this green tech! umm.. err... The Birds!!!
Very small investment considering the cost of the actual wind farm itself.
I'm sure the hardware investment would be relatively small, but the cost to put eyes in front of the screens would probably be much more significant.
Nope. From the article it is quite apparent that weather researchers are already present to ring the alarm in the first place --- thus those can be informed of the simple camera resource concept that GetQuad suggested --- something that could take a good 15 seconds to look at and then make an informed choice from.
Your skepticism implies a falsehood that simple and practical applications are not feasible with today's technology and innovation.
Of course the turbulence will look like tornadoes, but can't they adjust the sensitivity to "if vortex 3m ignore" Or set them to scan Higher then 100m Or whatever the tallest turbine is in that region?
Exactly. I don't see this being any more of an issue than either directly canvassing the research areas for wind farms or requiring wind farmers to report the locations of their farms to a database.... now back to those birds... lol
That sounds very interesting... I'm gonna look into that book.
I, too, agree that there is an obvious neccessity (whether we accept it and change or deal with crashing consequences) to accept zero profit and stabilize productivity.
Chris Martensons "Crash Course" makes the future quite obvious, and to my joy, presents the arguments with clear facts and dialogue that can be understood by an 8th grade education (because so many people opposed to changes in life are often quite educationally limited).
Ahhh! Thanks for the heads up. I was kinda caught off-guard reading (what I thought to be) homophobic hate from a slashdot post.
Back on topic. Political and social activism is a necessary body to prevent immoral trespasses of government on its citizens. Whether you agree with the activism is your own personal choice, but to blatantly feel a need to draw a weapon towards any/all activists is most definitely a blatant disregard for the role of activism as a whole --- an example of ignorant/not-well-thought-out response.
I'm not a straight man because I think a person who would pull a revolver out towards activists is ignorant and stupid?
My wife and daughter would tell you you're ignorant about me, but that argument would matter about as much in reality as your argument that being straight has any importance of the value of person I am.
It's a shame you feel you need a weapon to defend yourself from people who are active about things in life. I don't know what the source of such fear comes from, but it would be great to see you enlightened by knowledge and pleased by community.
Check the library for answers; your irrational fear of activism must truly push your anxiety and stress levels --- understanding and truth can give you peace in many ways.
... I forgot to add to my prior response... The evidence of Fox's bullshit is about as prevalent as the air you breathe and apparent as the blue in the sky above.
It is because such evidence is so well present that I hastily assumed people to be informed/ignorant based on their observation of this highly prevalent evidence --- and felt I did not need to actually spoonfeed.
But, in my response I gave you the spoonfeed. Eat it or not, the truth is there and blatant. Maintain your ignorance, force your lips closed.
Watch the videos on foxattacks.com where they show plenty of clips from FOX to demonstrate how belligerent, biased, and disgusting they are as a 'news resource'.
And yes, all of the video you will see is from Fox News. You will see the channel speak for itself in the argument against Fox News. Nothing can be more evident of such horror as example.
Watch those videos. If you think Fox can be trusted after that (never mind the whole Monsanto/Posilac fiasco, and allowing a fascist like Bill O'Reilly a platform) you've gotta be blind/deaf and willing to defend your ignorance by all means.
No, they sued and won for the right to fire employees for refusing to lie to you.
No. The implications of that case were much more broad. Not only did they permit them to fire them -- but it was then, under judgement, supporting the matter that the news is 'merely' (lol) entertainment and that the information need not be factual by any means.
But, god forbid a capitalist company in a capitalist society attempt to capitalize... (sarcasm)
We embrace capitalism but we pretend its byproducts of deception, corruption, and disregard/disrespect for human life aren't a natural phenomenon to putting $$$ over people.
I think the place you get your 'information' from that you seem to trust (though I doubt it is sufficiently backed by facts) probably stands to lose a LOT more money by being held accountable for environmental impacts...
but.. then again... who knows, right? we can pretend that 2+2 = 5 all day when you inject doubt and amplify small probabilities to seem significant.
Umm.. you're talking about a span of 4 years, not 40 years. My NES still works.
4 years is not a long 'entire lifespan' as you imply it to be.
54% over 4 years is a nightmare; imagine if half the babies born on earth died by 4 years old. That would seem pretty bad in terms of health/genetics of our species.... 4 years is not a long time.
It is interesting that you use the terms 'blue/red ocean' when comparing the Wii to the other two major consoles on the market. The reason I point this out, and something that I noticed on zeropunctuation --- people will not actually compare a Wii game to a 360/PS3 game. They compare games between the 360 and PS3 all the time, as if they are comparing the various elements of two great athletes. Its like the Wii, in its lack of good games and processing power gets its own 'special olympics' category to be in.
I would *love* to see comparisons made between these consoles and for this strange idea of the Wii being a separate 'class' to fall. It really isn't a separate class of console --- it serves to entertain us in quite the same ways that the other two major consoles do as well.
Its really hard to find any comparisons of the Wii to the 360/PS3, let alone comparisons of games.
Just so you know, they ARE competing. When mommy buys tommy a Wii, she probably checks off the 'got him a console' box and won't be interested or easily ready to pay for another console. The same if the first choice was a 360 or a PS3. Just because the Wii games are more casual, less graphical, and gimmickly-interactive than the 360/PS3 games, doesn't mean that the consoles are not often in the situation I just described.
(watch the Wii owners mod me down despite the fact that it is likely sitting and collecting dust and representing a waste of money in the corner)
The internet is definitely essential for numerous reasons. Here are a couple.
1) Many many many businesses either solely, majorly, or at least partly *rely* on the internet for their day to day function.
2) The internet, as of today, is the *ONLY* resource (aside from stepping outside with your eyes open) where you can get independent information on nearly all subjects --- by that I mean that the accessible media is not largely or wholly owned and controlled by private interests.
3) The internet is one of the only available and affordable methods for international communication which leads to more educated world views and has serious impacts on racism, nationalism, and ignorance-based hatred.... I'm sure you' can find more. For me, those 3 reasons are substantial to conclude the internet is essential. ---------------------
In pure capitalism I can own your mother's right to express love to you. In desperation, I might find her in need of expensive pills and thus in need of a $20,000 lump. In contract, I give her the $20,000 but only if I can sell her expression of love to you. By that I mean she will be observed and watched (holding her house in the contract just in case she violates) while you interact with her. You can pay $100 for a smile, $200 for a hug, and $500 to hear her say "I love you".
In pure capitalism, I can own that. And by 'that' I mean something as precious and priceless as a mother's love (but its easier for me to say 'that'). Sick, huh? But its not sick when I don't care about you and the $$$ is more important.
... that there are seemingly a number of surprisingly 'good' things (for the people) coming out of our various federal departments recently?
I'm curious if this has to do with better appointments to tops, better pressures, coincidence, or maybe a seriously interesting change for the better in government....
Why would the stronger hardware aspect of the PS3 all of the sudden start attracting gamers away from the 360?
The trouncing would come due to the PS3's stronger horsepower being reflected in games while the X360 games stagnate. Since there is 'room to grow' in terms of BR versus DVD discs and SPUs to be tapped on the PS3, it is more future-proofed than the X360. As Microsoft wants to recoup development costs for the Xbox consoles, they will stick with the X360 longer which will make the PS3 look more and more favorable.
FYI, microsoft has already well discussed the next gen coming in 2012. I gotta get to class, but if you need a reference i betcha google can do it quick.

Its like putting on cartoons for the mentally disabled to keep them from getting up and doing something dangerous.

I can only forsee a huge surge in PS3 sales. My parents are buying them as blu-ray players!

PSN is totally fine. The 'issues' arguments are an artifact from launch-year era functionality that is since fixed/improved/expanded.
