Every single measurement of the "climate" is not a unrelated sources. There are no climatologist suggesting the end of anything. A few feet of water and a few degrees and perhaps some rain pattern changes *worst case*. How the hell is that going to even get close to end of the world bunk?
Honestly I don't care much for the climate thing. But Russia were cutting off gas to eastern and central Europe to to show who's boss. I don't need AGW to want to find more long term solutions to the energy problem.
In this respect, string theory doesn't qualify as a science, it has never produced measurable quantitative experiments.
The hole black hole thing with the LHC is a *prediction* of string theory. There are others. I'm guessing you don't even ask people from the field.
Also you must be careful of what you define as science. There are more than a few fields where direct experiment is not possible. Climate models can only be compared to data, but not *experimental data*. There is a big difference. But that doesn't negate it from science. Also a lot of astrophysics fits this category. I mean what experimental evidence is there for black holes?
My supervisor for my PhD loved doing extra philosophy classes. So I know what parent is getting at. However there are a lot of us who have looked at these aspects too.
I didn't think anything outside text should be used. Lynx for the win.
Seriously the line on what formats are natively supported will keep shifting. First gif/jpeg then png without plugins. Then theres SVG (do you need a plugin?) etc . As for a moving pictures format, once images were added I found it strange that a movie codec wasn't.
I wrote a program for a company in the 90s that sells for over 25K per machine. They posted a profit of over 8Million last year. I didn't even get 11 pounds!!! Oh the humanity.....
That is a matter of option. The day i got quake3 we could all play together in the lab on LAN with one copy. Starcraft lets you spawn "LAN copies" and TA had a similar feature. I didn't need a internet connection to play single player either.
I have disagree on one point. Deciding to not strip search someone is *not* a hard decision. Its a not brainier. Even with zero T policy i can't see why parents and if that failed law enforcement was not called in. I cannot see any reason why a school should have this authority even if it was 1kg of cocaine.
Well its not like a lot of other countries aren't the same. I mean look at the UK with one of the oldest bill of rights in the world, and yet the dumbness of the powers that be get./ every 2nd day. Or Germany who should know better.... The list is as long as the number of countries.
I can get 800mg here without a prescription. In NZ I can get it with codeine as well. Now having worked at a school I know there is 2 sides of the story. But dam its hard to see any "zero tolerance" policy going this far as justified. Also this is a pretty common "girl problem remedy". At the very least parents should have been called before *any search*.
I really don't like this kind of reasoning. You know if he didn't do it someone else would have. I mean ever heard of BSD or the MIT 3 point license? You know Linux wasn't written by RMS either. And what percentage of the GNU tools etc where written by RMS? If Thomas Edison didn't perfect the light bulb would we be still using candles or some second rate light bulb?
Important looking people are a lot less important than they look.
Some of us want to keep the right to run any dam software we want. Including commercial software or closed source binary blobs. If RMS had his way I would not be allowed to have that freedom under Hurd or whatever.
In other words if RMS calls all the shots I WILL GET SCREWED by him. So whats the difference?
I am an active contributer to some OS projects so its not like I don't understand it. I have used LGPL, BSD and apache license on my own code.
But i want the freedom to do what I want without some zealot bleating on about how using the nvidia drives are evil, because believe it or not I can do more with them than without. After all if freedom is the goal where is the GPL hardware?
There you go with the "varying degrees" thing again. It's the language of someone who wants to make something sound serious without knowing or committing to whether or not it actually was.
You can look up the official story yourself. Its been in and out of the papers here in the EU for the last year. I'm on a NDA.
Also there are good solutions "on the drawing board" for dealing with fission waste products. Why discount these?
Did you read my posts? Where did i say that? Because *I* am not discounting them. I'm saying we should do the ground work on them *NOW* not later when we have even more waste to deal with.
You might want to check up on the success of the storage of nuclear waste. Just last year both France and Germany discovered leaks of varying degrees of seriousness. This is in containers that are suppose to be good for over 100 years.
Once you have the waste, you can't just "wait" for a solution. And there are good solutions on the drawing board. Lets work on them rather than repeat the same pattern and never learning a dam thing.
Why do you have a "let's try and see" attitude to the economic viability of a power source decades away, but a dismissive attitude towards testing the viability of a power source has had far more development time and R&D?

The best part of CD keys is you can ban cheaters.

I find this a lot more interesting than some article about RIAA this or that. We don't all have the read the same stuff.

I don't have a reliable internet connection and 2 of my machines are with an air gap. So i guess i can't play anymore.
I hate the assumption that we all have uncapped free broadband.
But call it what it is. Its DRM.

With Rosebud.
We had the same policy. Even to the point we would hire physics and Math grads over Comp Sci majors.
Remember that for fusion it's already viable
My bad.
I said lets do the *R&D* on both!

This is one of the technologies i was referring too. There is quite a lot you can do with a fast neutron spectrum.

I would hold that thought until ITER works as expected (or better).
