Man, take your medications a.s.a.p., you're way too angry (and sound like an idiot too!)
The major reason why people prefer incandescents is because CFLs and LEDs produce much worse light than the plain old bulb. At this moment, there is NOTHING that can produce as good light for reading as the halogen bulb, not even the top-of-the-line CFLs.
Since we're talking about eye strain and long-term damage to them, I'd say "f*ck you and your minuscule efficiency increase!" Better house insulation, more efficient washing machines, turnng off lights that are not needed - these make a much bigger impact in saving energy than bickering about the incandescents vs. CFLs.
either knows how and who to bribe or their brand name got out of hand.
Whose monumentally idiotic idea was to throw away textbooks and replace them with general-purpose electronic gadgets? Was it EVER demonstrated that this works? Of all the issues the sorry California Public school system is riddled with, the lack of enough electronic things floating around the students is the least important.
The tether is powering the "snake" and very likely it's providing the control signals too. Get back to us when you can include the power source and the AI in the "snake"'s body...
However, considering the advice he's given, he does know much more about raising children than the bunch of guys (and the OP too) who recommend computers, iPods and electronic gadgets to an 18mo toddler - he's 18mo old for God's sake!
I can only hope that once they're acquired by Cisco their CS will improve (it's not hard to do, given the abysmal level they're at right now). Maybe then I could use them again for SkypeOut services, knowing that if I have issues (such as fraudulent charges on my account), there is someone I can talk to instead of replying to useless mail-based "CS"
OTOH, google voice is comparable in quality and slightly cheaper...
You're just a simpleton. Your baseless optimism, rooted in ignorance, is at once both entertaining and depressing.
The only moment in recent history when the food production jumped ahead, giving the human race several more decades to catch up, was when Fritz Haber discovered how to make ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen harvested from the air. Without the synthetic fertilizers, which boosted depleted soils and opened formerly sterile areas to agriculture, the collapse would have happened at the 2 billion people mark already.
Malthus lived in a time when Europe's people were suffering from endemic malnutrition (accounting for the stunted development of 17th to 19th century europeans). Yes, cheap sea shipping and refrigeration allowed remote and fertile areas (Argentina, US etc) to bring in cheaply produced food but the benefits were already wearing off at the WW1 outset. Then came the synthetic fertilizers, but today their boosting effect reached a ceiling and their overuse downsides start becoming more and more disruptive.
Instead of writing about subjects on which you're utterly ignorant, you should invest some time into reading more.
Nah, that's in preparation for the better crack. TPB does really care about their users and wouldn't want to confuse them with two different cracked versions:P
I hate the airbags and would disable the ones in my cars if I would know it's legal and have the knowledge of how to do it. If you're wearing prescription glasses, you won't feel too cozy knowing that a small bomb is constantly looking at you, waiting to blow in your face and possibly render you blind because you bumped over a curb at 35MPG.
they should fix the goddamn security issues and start having decent CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
Starting in 2007, I was a loyal skypeout customer, plunking something like 75 to 100 USD/mo into my skype account and even buying dedicated skype hardware (I have an ipevo skype handset). However, last month someone apparently broke into my account, twice, and successfully charged my CC for skypeout credit into a different account! Not big deal (my bank reversed the charge), however, skype's own customer support proved to be totally incompetent tracking the issue or even acknowledging that there is a problem. They lost me as a customer.
To be successful, skype needs paying customers. Unless they come to their senses and fix the glaring security problems (their forums are full of stories like mine) and implement a real customer support system (no, one email reply per day is NOT C.S.) , they won't attract and keep too many of them customers.
maybe this conversation never happened. The design flaw is so blatant that it's very unlikely the engineers responsible for the RF section (including the antenna) would be so stupid. The whole fiasco smells of someone very high-up who brushed aside technical concerns for aesthetics. All we have to do is to wait for an insider to spill the beans...
Interesting discussion. I had no idea that Netherlands and Holland are not the same (even though most of its neighbors are using as that country's name Holland-derived variations) and it's weird that someone would be so anal regarding this difference.
OTOH, comparing Amsterdam with Columbus OH, Fort Worth TX or Jacksonville (which one? there's at least one in each of AL, AR, FL, GA, IL, IN, MD, MO, NC, NY, OR, PA, TX, VT, WV) based only on population size is really petty. Amsterdam is a city many hundred years old and had the time to accumulate culture, history and plenty of events for which it is known, while the above-mentioned US cities are arguably place names and that's all.
You'd think so. Where I live (suburbs), squirrels are truly a pest. No natural predator, plenty of food, they just destroy everything in my backyard: walnuts (never had a chance to taste them, they're gone long before they become edible), apples, strawberries (they eat even the buds!), cherries.
Last year I relocated 55 (fifty five) of them and this year a new crop already replenished the pool. Too bad I can't shoot them and have to resort to cage traps... there is no love lost - I fully understand the UP's dogs reaction:P
Given the above, I'd say that taxidermied squirrels as bottle covers are the only use one can find for them.
- they start something and they never finish it. Its fairly pathetic.
Bullsh*t! Google folks are very active fixing map errors. In the past 4 months I raised 3 issues (non-existent road and 2 shifted address errors) and they updated the database in less than 4 weeks for each occurrence.
Capitalism is not greed, and greed is not capitalism.
You're nuts! Capitalism is greed (nothing could get done if we all would hold hands), altruism was never an enduring society-wide motivator. The problem though is that too much greed (or just the absence of any other drive) is toxic and, like panic (as opposed of fear), produces bad outcomes.
Yes, separating for various types of polymers is probably impossible; that's why all recyclable plastics have the digit-in-triangle marking (although I think "7" is the catch-all for exotic plastics).
My point was why can't we reduce an unsorted blob of plastics to simpler hydrocarbons, maybe for use as fuel?

How ironic that the moron who modded your post as "Troll" just proves that you're right...
So if the laws don't work, what is a better solution to preventing texting while driving accidents?
Just shoot the offender at point blank. Whoever texts while driving is a waste of protein, better recycle it before it injures humans.

I think they added provisions in the law to keep alive specialty bulbs, such as the one found in ovens.

Although I share your outrage, the idea that buying more computers will improve the quality of schooling is patently stupid. Think about it.
they make up the Order Monotremata, the egg-laying, web-footed, electrolocating mammals.
You forgot "the only poisonous mammal" attribute.
It looks like O'Keefe and his son survived, though.
Amen!

The real nuisance is a lot of the plastics.
Which came mostly from oil... Why can't these plastics be fractionally reduced to useful components?
