One of the most interesting challenges was finding new uses for all the old technology laying around. Like, fixing it up to do something new, that was necessary for survival.
Which makes me wonder where the "Why is this on Slashdot!?" crowds are. This is about some political posturing by some rich folks, like: "Heidi Klum refuses to wear fur from cute dead animals!". This is TMZ stuff. Rich folks can afford to do some very strange things with their money. What do I care if George Clooney invests in Beanie Babies or Bitcoins, and divests of companies selling sweet, sugary, fattening drinks?
Also, what it the point of divesting in oil companies? They see themselves as "energy" companies anyway. You can bet your hairy ass that Exxon is working on alternative sources of energy income for the time when oil runs out. Those Big Oil folks will find another way to grab us by the balls. We'll be charging our cars at their service stations in the future.
Unfortunately, all these political posing hissy fits seem to drown out the actual science and serious discussion about what to do about climate change. Whenever a climate change topic gets posted to Slashdot, it degenerates into a political baboon shit-slinging festival:
Kennedy shot himself. Stanley Kubrick had already been secretly contracted to film the moon landings at Area 51, and so he was just instructed to fake an assassination tape on the side.
Well, you’re obviously being totally naive of course. When you’ve been in marketing as long as I have, you'll know that before any new product can be developed it has to be properly researched. We’ve got to find out what people want from fire, how they relate to it, what sort of image it has for them.
Do people want fire that can be fitted nasally?
If you're so clever, you tell us what color fire should be.
The sanctions are just a farce. If Putin turns off the gas to Western Europe, Germany's economy will sputter, taking down the rest of the EU, and it will get all Mad Max-y there. This is why Germany will never agree to any serious sanctions against Russia.
Note that one of Obama's first moves was to try to whip up some plan to get Europe off their dependency on Russian Gas. And there is no quick and easy solution to that.
And, no, we can't just build a "series of tubes" to bring gas from the US to Europe.
I'd put Kim Philby up there as the most damaging . . . he revealed just about everything of Western Intelligence to the Soviets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K...
Oh, and the Chief of German Military Intelligence, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, "was among the military officers involved in the clandestine opposition to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. He was executed in the Flossenbürg concentration camp for the act of high treason.": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...
So what all he was up to on the side . . . we will never know . . .
I do not think there is a single law on the books that makes it illegal not to know something.
If there was, most of the kids that I went to school with would be in jail. They had shit for brains. The poor teachers were fighting a lost cause trying to teach that lot.
All knowledge is op-out-able, as far as I am aware, no one is likely ever going to force you and everyone else to know something.
No known force in the universe seems to be able to get some kids to do their homework.
So even if doctors were force to tell potential diabetics that they will develop the disease if they keep quaffing sugary drinks . . . a lot of folks will opt out in their own head anyway. Simply because they don't want to hear what a doctors is telling them.
. . . so let me take a quick look at my works from Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Roy Lichtenstein and Rene Magritte . . .
Rothko - There's pollution in the atmosphere, but it gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling.
Pollock - The world's fucked.
Lichtenstein - The atmosphere is comical.
Magritte - The sky looks fine . . . but it is in the face of a scary looking guy in a black suit.
Science and art . . . quite a powerful combination! What do creationist believe about the world's atmosphere . . . did God create it polluted? Or did it start with that eviction deal over a terms of use dispute with the Garden of Eden . . . ?
I'm thinking that Kim wants to use his political party to somehow avoid extradition . . . political immunity or asylum, or something like that. If NZ decides to hand him over to the US, he will try to get his case heard in The Hague, or something like that.
If that fails, he will end up rooming with Snowden in Russia. Just so that Putin can stick another weed up Obama's ass.
Slashdot Mirror
Honestly, the article was published in a WAZ group newspaper. They are conservative and opposed to this learning concept.
+1 Informative. I read the article, and it to a swipe at "children of immigrants" who are part of the problem.
Go figure.
I'll fix that for you:
Nein.
See? Our German is slipping already here on Slashdot!
There is a massive cache of existing technology which can be repurposed to rebuild society. Whos gonna do it if not Slasdotters?
There was a Discovery show about this scenario: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...
One of the most interesting challenges was finding new uses for all the old technology laying around. Like, fixing it up to do something new, that was necessary for survival.
Millions of college students writing empty 500-word essays
Students don't write anymore . . . they cut & paste from the Web . . .
They are a school for the rich, by the rich.

She was always "38 of D" to me . . .
The NSA has a whole department occupied with the investigation of the existence of God.
Because if He does exist, they want to spy on him.
But he did say that the infrastructure allowing this to happen had been built
By IBM! /insert ww2 corporate references
So you mean we'll be forced to play Jeopardy to death in these camps . . . ?
Everyone in the US armed forces is without honor.
Is that you, Fred "Westboro Baptist Church" Phelps . . . ?
I thought you were dead.
the Kennedy assassination tapes
Kennedy shot himself. Stanley Kubrick had already been secretly contracted to film the moon landings at Area 51, and so he was just instructed to fake an assassination tape on the side.
tell me something in terms an idiot would understand
Richard Feynman answered that question with something like:
"I can't explain it in terms that you would understand, because I can't understand it, in terms that you would understand."
And ironically, replace "Facebook" with "Hollywood" in the summary above.
And comically, replace "Facebook" with "Slashdot" in the summary above.
Or "Obamacare" . . .
Apply heat and O2 to complete fire triangle.

And the closest thing to a quantification was "10 to 20 times as fast as any in the rest of Norway." Which means....what?
A Norwegian will tell you that the rest of Norway is twice as fast as Sweden. A Swede will claim the opposite.
Hope that helps.
These guys made a deal with Pepsi, the epitome of a soulless American corporation
However, Pepsi did burn Michael Jackson, literally, so give them a tiny bit of credit.

. . . otherwise, the probe will be filled with a bunch of unwanted McAfee bloatware!
but why exactly would someone want that?
. . . for the same reason that one of Germany's news magazines fell for the Hitler Diaries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H...
There's a hilarious film about the scandal called "Schtonk!" : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt01...
It's a beautiful parody on how the news media gets wrapped up in a story and loses touch with reality.
I'm thinking that Kim wants to use his political party to somehow avoid extradition . . . political immunity or asylum, or something like that. If NZ decides to hand him over to the US, he will try to get his case heard in The Hague, or something like that.

Well, maybe if they get to kill another hundred million people or so it will finally work!

Communism just doesn't work. Just look at the shape that the former East Germany was in.
How can you take a nation full of diligent Germans, and manage to make a poor country out of it . . . ?
