I also knew a couple of guys who leased an abandoned Super Market under a fake name for a month, and then riped out all the old air conditioning, coolers, and wiring. They ended up going to jail, not for that, but because they used the money to set up a meth lab.
This isn't that new really, at a job I worked at installing parking lot lights we started welding the poles shut after the place kept getting robed, and this was in 99.
I just wonder how much mining in the US is quashed by NIMBY environmental groups, and if any of them are the ones who actually have to bear the burden of their state imposed "luxury"
You mean outside getting lost, raped, kidnapped and murdered? I hope not, it's a scary world out there. They should be siting down nice and safely, watching shows free of sex or violence, letting TV raise them like it did me. Now if you excuse me I think Law & Order: SVU is on.
The same thing could be said about mass production and buying in bulk. Big business can do a lot of things cheaper than smaller business.
Price is a value, some of the biggest fortunes have been made by people who discovered how to make things cheaper. Sam Walden and Henry Ford come to mind. Reducing price is a legitimate tactic.
Besides, any price reduction is not only a gain to consumers which vastly out weighs any damage to M&P stores, but also forces M&P stores to change production or close adding more to the economy by removing dead weight.
Of course it would still be best if they just fixed the patent system.
You want to talk about collective ignorance, read the posts on this subject. It seems no one on/. understands the basics of getting laid or why this is actually a cool piece of tech.
Not to say I'm surprised, but seeing someone post about how they hate party's for the small talk? who the hell talks for more then ten minuets without trying for a hummer?
So I'll help out every one on/.: If you want to get laid you need to go where all the chicks who are ovulating are. These Miniskirt clad prey usually move in herds looking for spots that exude the one proven aphrodisiac "hipness". Thats where this software is actually cool. Think of this software like the things they put in cows ears. Now you can mechanically track the herd and pick up the easy/drunk ones who stray toward the edges without actually having to dye your hair or read Maxim.
It's about sex idiot.
Of course people who go to clubs would get bored at a LAN party, the woman are ugly and don't put out.
After I discovered how easy it is to get laid if you dye your hair and shop based on what's in style (American eagle and axe will get you laid BTW), I never do introverted time wasting crap.
But your right, just because someone else's idea of fun isn't your idea of fun, doesn't mean they aren't having a good time, it's just that the clubs idea of a good time is nailing some hot chick. But hey, video games you know are, uh, good or stuff, and make for great story telling and, uhmm, teach you things?
I was always told Olympus Mons was dead. I guess I mean geysers or geothermal vents, but more I was asking about spots that show up hot on scans that could have liquid water under the surface where life from a warmer mars could still hold on, like some radioactive rock, or magma close to the surface.
Age and intelligence are linked..
I don't think the cultural stagnation would be too bad if they really stayed forever young, like early twenty's. The mind starts to harden as you age and seems to get set in place. If that never happened than you might not get the cultural stagnation. I know I'd only want to live forever if they had mind enhancing ability's.
The part that scares me is the ownership. If people didn't die then Ramses would rule the planet as a god-king. everything would be owned by a Pious few. Rockefeller and Carnegie would be truly like new gods. It also brings up the motivation factor, what reason do I have to rush through college in 4 years? I'll just take a easy 20 year program and pay it off over the next century.
Does anyone know about geothermal hot spots on mars? or is the internal reaction more or less dead? If there is life on mars it's probably in hot springs or near volcanoes or other places that could preserve it for eons.
India gained its independance becuase England was demoralized and didn't care. If the nazi's hadn't turned europe off to bloodshed you bet your ass India would had to start shooting.
It's not about one in a billion, it's about spreading it every which way. There are an uncountable amount of research programs going on that delve into every aspect of the universe, there are more research projects today then there were probably scientists in 1890. If we reduced population than research into rare diseases gets reduced because we no longer have the excess population to fund it. Same with mass production, you can't have a bunch of products produced cheaply if everyone has to be concentrated in key industry's just to maintain basic living conditions because the economy's of scale have been reduced by population loss.
It is as if each person produced 1.1 and consumed 1.0. The more people you get the more you have.
Is Crete a wasteland in term of the ability to grow other crops, or people, or industry? I doubt it. The natural world can suck my plow.
Environmentalists attribute feel good value to the environment that doesn't exist. It is a luxury that will be the first thing against the wall when things get scarce. They need to stop trying to validate their overvaluing of the environment with Global warming "manbearpig" scare tactics and just realize most people would rather live well in a domed city than poorly in a village.
It can be argued that the exponential increase in technology and production is actually powered by the exponential human population growth. That is, more people contributing to economy's of scale and research are the driving force and actually produce a greater amount than their are people.
By reducing population you could actually reduce our scientific and social development so that as population decreases you could see a stronger decrease in science and disposable income.
Besides it doesn't seem like we have too many people since there hasn't yet been a massive famine, and people keep making babies, besides, it has been shown that industrial population growth is stabilizing. I think the upper population limit should be set by the market forces that obviously still favor population growth, not ivory tower policy.
I suspect you just think there are too many people for your own comfort. What a horrible waste it would be if we limited world population to 8 billion when it could hold 12.
Thats interesting.
Lack of care for the environment in the manner you described seems to be the opinion of people in developing countries, and the united states a century ago.
I don't want to sound trollish, but it seem to me environmentalism is a luxury people are all to willing to do away with when things get tough.
I actually left thinking how pathetic I am for posting on slashdot, but then you came along and showed me it's not as bad as trolling slashdot, so my day has picked up quite a bit, thanks:)
Damn you free market democracy!!
High fuel prices driven by a world who wants what America has forcing capitalist bourgeoisie American's to actually reduce overconsumption AND force them to do their own work is great. But without having huge government programs, protectionist tariffs, and excessive regulation, how ever will they make sure they muddle up their economy completely... I mean help the people?
Lets just pray the monstrous free market disaster doesn't figure out a cure global warming and a way to provide health care, or end poverty. Then I'll never get to help the people with socialism!
Slashdot Mirror
If you go by this article it would be more like a crudely drawn diagram of silence.
Also from TFA "The termination shock is the region of the heliosphere where the supersonic solar wind slows to subsonic speed"
Last I checked wasn't sonic speed something only relative to earth? Wouldn't that make this point completly arbitrary in a cosmic sense?

Yes. Just read any ancient mythology. The Olympians and Titans was just red state blue state.
The solution: make old people grow asparagus on mars.

Ohh this makes a ton of sence, since dying with more stuff makes you, well, less dead.
No, Nuclear waste is all that green ooze they handle in the Simpsons. Get your Facts straight.
Actually it's presidential Riddick, and by raise taxes he means murder.
WOW, great read. I wonder if THX1138 took just a little inspriration from this, because the imagery is about the same.
