Not that should charge, but to be unlisted it means they have to go around the normal automatically way of adding you. It also impact every phone book manufacturer.

Because you are a knee jerk moron who can't actual read the entire description, much less the article, before pounding your meat hooks into your key board in some vain attempt at a brow furrowing thought?
Who said the tools don't matter? Clearly from the statement tools do matter... in fact, only a fool would thing they wheren't discussing the modern tools for the job being discussed.
And it IS a poor workman who blames his tools.
If someone writes bad code, and then blames the tool i.e. editor and/or compiler, they are a poor coder.
This applies to all trades and industries.
Take whatever field you are in. If someone using the same tools as you does a job worse then you, is it the tool or the worker?
Microsoft Research is hardly skunk works. Secondly: Skunk works is too broad. You need to find a fields, say robotics, and focus on that. Third: There is no guaranteeing, but A Ph.D. will get you to the short list. Forth: Make contact in the field you are interested in. There are ALWAYS ways to get around a requirement if you know the right people.
ah, I remember a time when I could make a nice response like that..but these days I have no patience for those morons who have no really clue and thing taxed money somehow disappears.
except every type of field grown biofuels competes with food. We are already seeing price hits, and it's hardly used. Unless you are growing bio fuels from tiny animals in places where we can't grow food, then bio fuels should end.
"Seems like good places to grow crops that aren't intended for human consumption. " it's not nearly enough to offset cost impact to food. "on't require long transmission lines"
WTF is every ones hang up with transmission lines? There a lot more efficient the the tankers/ trunks you mention. On average, 6.6% loss. And this has been decreasing as older infrastructure is replaced.
Op quiz: how many gallon per acre do you get from from plant bio-fuels? After you find that out, do some math comparing how many acres you would need to offset current gasoline fuels.
DO you know the power loss in modern line? inefficient isn't a word I would use.. but then I actually know the numbers. "Solar is inefficient both in land and energy generated and also generally requires long transmission lines." again with that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. Solar is two technologies(many more if you are padatic.) Panels and Industrial thermal. IN many areas, panels need to become part of every house built. It wojudl feed all the nergy, but it will offset energy use considerable. Lets say 200 watts a meter. small 10sq. meters is 2KwH not being taken from the grid for 8 hours. Do that in every homes in a state, its a low of power. This is something we should do regardless of what we use for base load power.
"Hydroelectric Dams have a horrible safety record, " false.
"Tidal (wave) energy - many of the same construction dangers as Hydroelectric" false.
"only works for coastal cities" so?
"did I miss anything?" a brain?
Yes, for base load power we would be using 4th Gen thorium molten metal reactors. Seriously, the tech is awesome and very safe. But that's no excuse to spread a bunch of lies, and over stated issues.
perhaps? no, definitely. Watch the original Godzilla. I recommend the Japanese version, not the western version where the edited in the reporter. There is a scene that just rips me apart every time.
The edited American version stars Raymond Burr, and is titled " Godzilla, King of the Monsters!." Sadly, it treats American views like they are complete idiots. Typical studio exec. thinking.
the US has really good transparency. Not perfect, but it is a lot better today then 20 years ago, and it's a hell of a lot better then almost any other country.
so? it still returns the other results. Big deal if there are a few ads. For the record, I had 2 ads when I searched for "insurance" Yeah, it was real hassled to move my mouse wheel to clicks before getting past the ads.
Slashdot Mirror
I'll never feel better as long as lazy, ignorant opinionated fools keep spouting nonsense and not be called on it.
so, no.
He probably would have appreciated your thank you a hell of a lot more last week.
not really, no.

Only on slashdot would anyone even conceive that you are somehow giving up your 4th amendment right.
Idiots.

Calm down, Francis; and think.
well then, a provable example should be easy to point to, yes?
It's a lot more specific in that. In fact, I could make a tablet that fits your description and still not violated Apples design patent.

NO it isn't, please get the fuck out of your echo chamber.
"No, this is a tax and thus is a net drain on society"
No. A tax is not a net drain. Unless that tax money is put in a pile and burned.
even when you compare all source that are off the scale. There horrid coal emissions more then make up for there bicycles.
If their polluter where held to the same pollution goals as the US, then you would have a point.
But they don't and neither do you.
China produces 500Million more tonnes of CO2 per year then the US.
I don't think you actual understand the economic issue.
I suspect you don't understand the EU's issue on a big scale either.

It's that incorrect understanding that has set the understanding of evolution back.
I have an actual conservative friend who says exactly that... so, yeah.
You don't understand science, do you?
the US has really good transparency. Not perfect, but it is a lot better today then 20 years ago, and it's a hell of a lot better then almost any other country.
You are talking about a company where is an employee dies, they continue to pay that person check to the surviving immediate family for 10 years.
Google is a great company. Evil doesn't equal stuff you disagree with, jackass.
So you're solution is to use crappy search engines?
Please, Google is far more accurate then those search engines...except when they are ripping google off.
But, you sig is a clear indicator you can't grok complex subjects.
so? it still returns the other results. Big deal if there are a few ads. For the record, I had 2 ads when I searched for "insurance"
Yeah, it was real hassled to move my mouse wheel to clicks before getting past the ads.
