CO2 emmissions don't contribute to smog. Sure internal combustion engines produce both CO2 and stuff that does contribute to smog, but why write laws that stop some future technology that is high-CO2 but low in VOCs and NOx if the big issue is those VOCs and NOxs?
We can not feed 6 billion people by gathering food with our bare hands.
As soon as you give a farmer a hoe or a spade he is now a capitalist since he owns some capital. Or give him some land to use exclusively, he is now a capitalist again.
Unless you mean a system in which no one "owns" anything, though I would say that's the same as a system in which everything has shared ownership of everything and hence everyone is a capitalist as soon as one spade is built.
Sure if the global population is 1,000,000* people capital is optional.
And "have to"? You know for a fact it is impossible to have a self sustaining automated system that produces stuff? The sun seems pretty much self sustaining (well over a reasonable time span in terms of humans) without any input from workers and yet produces heat and light just fine.
You really think it is a physical impossibility for machines to be built which maintain the existing machines and build new ones so that there is no human labor element necessary going forward?
Sure it can't be done now, but the human population isn't 1,000,000 now so clearly you aren't restricting this to the current state.
* Yes, the number is plucked from thin air - some number much lower than the current level.
the argument we are having is "is capitalist a correct word to use in that context or does the statement imply that the person stating it doesn't know the meaning of the term".
No you don't. They are the standard labels in economics.
Capitalists own the capital and derive income for merely owning it. Workers work with the capital and exchange their labor for income.
That one person can be both a worker and a capitalist is irrelevant to the question of which role is more important in an economy.
Do you have trouble understanding anything that involves sets that may overlap? Does the existence of movies in which an actor does the direction mean you can't have a discussion about whether acting or direction has more "importance" in film making?
Capitalist fits perfectly in those sentences. Are you sure you know what the word means?
That doesn't make the claim correct (you'll produce more cars with all capital - a robot filled factory for example - than you will with all labor), but the "worker" and "capitalist" terms are used just fine.
If the jury is getting out-of-band information your lawyer can't know in order to make sure they get the right facts.
How does is your lawyer supposed to know that the jury didn't understand something if instead of asking for clarification they grab a wikipedia article on the topic?
And I didn't blame the jury or the justice system. Note, that this jury got kicked out so it all works fine as is to me, I have no blame to dish out.
It's pretty simple, the justice system intentionally withholds things from juries and does so in order to maintain our freedoms. You really want the police to just not bother ever getting warrants since they know they can just leak the results to the internet and the jury will ignore the court instructions not to look for such things.
Yeah because it would be great for the jury to be using the wrong definition of a key term and you not being able to appeal the decision because there's no damn record of it at all.
DES is the standard unix hash algorithm (like ed is the standard unix text editor).
Here's the first paragraph of "man crypt"
crypt is the password encryption function. It is based on the Data Encryption Standard algorithm with variations intended (among other things) to discourage use of hardware implementations of a key search.
of course you would have to be borderline retarded to actually use it now.
I'm sure a bunch of us saw it 4 years ago. Though infant mortality rate was used instead of life expectancy and a normal projection of the images onto a screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUwS1uAdUcI
Having the bottom quarter of the graph be empty would be stupid, since everything would have to shrink and hence convey less information.
The dollar amounts are inflation adjusted PPP numbers, you are just to stupid to bother checking.
Why is money considered linear? You really think $10 has the same value to someone whose yearly income is $100 as it does to someone whose yearly income is $100,000? You want to compress the poorer nations into a tiny section of the chart so that it conveys less information?
So to summarize you make four complaints, two of them you are just completely wrong on - complaining he does X but should do Y, when in fact he is doing Y. And the other two you want to destroy the visualization so that is conveys less information, probably so that is conveys almost nothing.
And of course make it boring to go with making it convey no useful information. You are truly a genius!

How does that make zynga the devil?
What makes you think "funnest game" is an import factor in fitness let along the only factor?

Because Canadian oil producers would sell to America at below the market price out of the goodness of their hearts?

We spent the whole movie staring at an ISO
What was my intent in seeing it, but given the PG rating I knew it wasn't going to cut it going in.

Where they come from is irrelevant once they exist. And no workers do not produce them, a combination of workers and capital does.

So even when confronted with actual data your anecdote and made up number you heard previously still wins.
And I suspect the average /. user drinks more water (you know the stuff that makes up 99% of soda) if there's anything to the computer geek sterotype.
Exactly, because then either the information is correct, or there's a record of it being wrong making an appeal.

So I hacked my espresso machine this morning when I made a double shot?
After all I followed the simple instructions from the people who made it.
CO2 is not the only thing in the world that matters.
All music CDs, books, DVDs, etc sold in the US will be produced outside the US.
yes, because CostCo will just eat the copyright infringement penalties and defy court orders so they can keep reselling those watchhes.

Neither of which apply to the case in question.
You define a whole new standard of stupidity.

I doubt Amazon classifies the Bible as fiction, and hence different criteria can apply.
