Whether or not humans are causing it a non sequitur. It doesn't matter who's fault it is if there's a way to slow it down or avert some of the problems. If a flood is coming you don't worry about who's fault it is when you should be piling up sand bags or evacuating.
I would disagree. It does matter who's or what is at fault. Obviously you still adapt to the changing conditions and do what you need to, but the source of the issue is a very important data point and leads to a host of actions varied by it.
He basically agreed with what most people do, that the climate is heating up. That was only debated by crazies that thought the climate would not change as it has since time began. His findings were *NOT* that humans are causing it or not, which is the real issue.
It is a trade school. I went to one as well where you could get numerous trade school degrees in things like college preparatory, electronics, agriculture, etc. I got two diplomas when I graduated h.s. I thought most h.s. offered this type of education in general areas, but I guess not. There wasn't much special about it, just that your electives ended up being toward a certain program and you went to full days of classes unlike many that seniors barely go to class.
The only downside I saw was we were a county h.s. with no close access to a college to take college level courses as many h.s. seniors do.
You're assuming that you need cable. You don't, and in my area there are at least 25 broadcast channels. What amount of money is that entertainment worth to you? Evidently you think it's still worth it as you continue to pay. You're really only griping at yourself.
Your smart TV should be able to do DNLA. Setup PlayOn on your main computer, which streams internet video (Hulu, ESPN3, WB, TBS, Adult Swim, CNN, PBS, etc) and then your TV's and smartphones have access pretty much all the free video that the net can provide and in good quality.
While it's not a tiered plan that gets you cable shows, you're not going to get those legitimately without paying.
If you have an iPhone, just download LG's "LG TV Remote" and use that for your keyboard input. I'm sure there is one in the Android store as well. The odds of someone having a "smart tv" but not having a smart phone are likely small.
I have a Samsung smart TV as well --LN46C650-- and just use the iPhone SamsungTV remote app if I need to input any text strings (pretty rare). I don't have any need to use many of it's features except the built in Netflix and possibly DNLA streaming (for PlayOn which gets me Hulu and ESPN3).
Just setup PlayOn to play through a net connected BR player to have access to all the web video. Very cheap and you get all the online content without the recording/converting/storage issues. You can play Discs, watch Netflix, Vudu, etc as well as live tv. This has been our cable-less solution for over a year now and the price is right.
Simple, just block every channel except those that you want to "subscribe" to. Viola your cable bill now only pays for subscription channels you want. My service can even come and set this up for you (or provide detailed instructions) for a small fee!
There is streaming technology for the Super Bowl: an antenna. It's in HD and looks better than over-compressed cable. This same radical streaming technology can be used to watch many other timely TV shows as well, like the Oscars or Monday Night Football.
Correction: Sunday Night Football. MNF got moved to ESPN years ago, sadly for this non-cable subscriber. Yeah for PlayOn and ESPN3!!!
If it's like any wifi access point that's been provided at any other large event I've been to, it's so overly congested or limited that it's worthless to use. Easier to just use the 3G or whatever service is available through the phone network (if that is even usable).
The only saving grace I can see for it is if it's kept running after the crowds leave and gives some nice access to the residents of the area.
Huge difference is that you have to manage a whole other site and deal with numerous stories you don't care about. With a live bookmark, you see all the story titles and go straight to the one you want plus it's updated continuously. If you are browsing once a day or less, yeah that might be an option. If I'm hitting/. multiple times a day for current stories, it's much easier just to have the Live Bookmark in a pull down for the latest stories.
I'd already have switched to Chrome if not for FF's Live Bookmarks. Reading a bunch of different sites, multiple times a day it makes for an easy scan of story titles to see if anything is worth looking at. Otherwise I'd switched long ago and was sad Chrome didn't come with it. I don't want to manage a dedicated app.
Said in jest, but actually if we did find that Mars was full of oil, it actually wouldn't help very much. At the rate we are doubling our usage of it and energy in general, adding just a little bit more would not last us very long. Arithmatic, Population, and Energy by Dr. Albert Bartlet It's a video from the early 00's but it gets the point across with simple math.
I can believe that and also now know why those in big cities wish for a replaceable battery on the iPhone. AT&T combined with my updated 4S in a recent trip to NYC was not very encouraging. While I usually had at least one bar above ground, data was near non-existent anywhere in the city and with the limitation (carrier implemented?) of not allowing you to turn off 3G and go down to Edge like the 4 can do, my battery wouldn't last the day, even turning it on airplane mode when going subway.This made numerous stops to coffee shops to recharge a must.
I blame some of this battery loss on lack of signal and the phone pumping out more power to try and get it. But the lack of any real data use except for a google map now and then was killer. I wonder if the other providers fair any better in that great city.
No, it doesn't. If that were true we could solve all our economic problems by ordering everyone to pay someone else to dig and refill a hole.
Not quite. Digging a whole then refilling it doesn't result in a net gain of output or resources. Only tangentially since people will be hungrier from having worked and eat and drink more or buy skinnier clothes.
Purchasing locally made goods in this example helps the local economy and the overall economy by using actual resources. The cupcake, while marginal, fulfills a small nutritional need and even a psychological one to a point. The baker makes money that can be spend on labor, more resources, etc or take out loans from the bank to expand, creating more money. The flour and butter and sugar have to come from somewhere. The dirt in the whole, goes right back in the hole with no net gain unless there is a need to till the soil in that spot. Service industries are peculiar in that way.
Oh look, Italy is out of money! (continues eating $5 cupcakes)
Correction: Italy's government is out of money. Spending your cash in the market place actually helps the economy no matter the ridiculous price of the cupcake.

I know plenty of surgeons and lawyers and I definitely would not put them in the 1%. Most of them are avg joes just working and making a living, raising kids and trying to save for retirement. Not all lawyers and surgeons make 500+/year. In fact most make much less than that. When we are talking about financials and the top 1% we're talking about those that can control the system or at least influence it. Dr. Bill that takes care of the fam is not one of those. Sure he has a nicer car and house but he's not the multimillionaire making deals all the time.
What is "Fracking"? Well, it's the tunneling down in to the ground to extract natural gas. Tunneling leaves a hole, so if Fracking did not cause the earth quake, then the tunnels should be still there? All 181 of them. And the folks of the "Show Me State", believe this verification has been preformed? But lets consider that it "can't be done"; ya, right. Well, then, there's something called deep penetrating radar, that can be done.
You not only define Fracking incorrectly you also get the wrong state. Show Me State is Missouri.
I don't like Apple or iOS. I think the format makes shitting products like the latter and then charges too much for everything. I hope this helps.
Wait, you're saying they make bad products but then you think they charge too much for them? If they make bad products wouldn't any price for you be too much for them? Plus you took the time to reply to this post, not out of indifference but because you specifically dislike them. Your logic doesn't follow. I'm gonna guess if Apple products were in your price range or someone gave you one, you'd start to like them. That or you see it as trendy and want to go against it. To each their own.

Same here, took some drafting classes and an electronics class and it paid off with my engineering degree (to a point).
This was the 90's.

There are numerous apps for Android and iOS from the various mfg that do just that. So you only assumed they didn't already do this.

I do this now with PlayOn.

Content. Online Streaming. Simplicity.
Just setup PlayOn to play through a net connected BR player to have access to all the web video. Very cheap and you get all the online content without the recording/converting/storage issues. You can play Discs, watch Netflix, Vudu, etc as well as live tv. This has been our cable-less solution for over a year now and the price is right.

As with all rabbit holes, your next job is to define "innocents" unfortunately.
