One Christians view are no more representative of all Christians than one Atheist view is representative of all Atheists. Of course. Now any people that want to be the Political arm......... It is never pretty.
Members of the group? What the hell does that mean. Some dude goes up to the newspapers and says I'm a Christian and this new filter stuff rocks!
There are no requirements to "join" these groups and political groups are about politics. Not religion, they just use that as an angle.
And perhaps the ones that opposed to the censorship (like me) join the anti censorship groups etc rather than starting *another* Christian lobby group. In fact i don't know a single person in favor of net censorship, and that includes Christians, atheists, and even the odd Kiwi.
Or more likely perhaps you only listen to what you want to hear.
a basket ball at 22000 nmiles is dam impressive. These things are/were in a orbit under 500 miles. Assuming a linear relationship (radar is better than linear, it goes to the forth power with range) it can pick up something 44 times smaller than a basketball in LEO.
If you actually ask a bunch of Christians about what they think, rather than "Christian lobby groups" you will get very different answers. I'm a Christian and I am strongly opposed to this plan. Or any net filtering. Surly this is against the Australian constitution or bill or rights or something.
Of course the media lumps everyone together.
But I don't care who you are, if you are in politics I am wary of trusting you.
Vienna is one of the few city's that has this bit right. The underground runs till 12:30 and then a bunch of extra night buses start running. I get 24/7 transport from anywhere to anywhere within city limits. They are now trying to get the waiting time down to 5min or something for the main areas for the night buses.
But last time i was in London, and i tried to go home after a party at 2am... Dam the taxis are bad... Cost me more than the beer and food for the night!!
In fact most OEM can't, which is the point. They are not permitted to install some software for the OEM M$ license deals. Note its a good deal, about 20 bucks per computer for the big names.
There are plenty of other areas were science and politics mix. And it ain't pretty. Living in the UN city (Vienna) I can assure you it not just the US of A.
But yes, the only anti evolution people i have meet here (EU) are Americans that now live here (think they find the woman hot;) ).
You know there are not so many for Slackware because it uses "older" and more throughly patched code. Hell officially there isn't even a official 64bit version. I in fact run the slamd64 unofficial version.
In the last year i needed to do just one security related update.
Well I am in Austria. This winter Russia and the Ukraine had a fight and cut the gas of *again*. Austria has some reserves, but dam, I don't to freeze some winter cus Putin doesn't like the Ukraine! Security of energy supply is more than enough reason to be pursuing a fossil fuel free energy economy *now*.
I spend a lot of time talking about consensus != science. I almost *never* state what side of the debate I'm on. Yet just not agreeing with it outright, i am accused of being a denier.
This has become a religious debate. Because you are not allowed to debate it.
Oh I know quite a few people at the UN involved with the IIPC. Its a *political* body with a axe to grind. Excuses me if I don't get my science from politics.
Its a little more simple than that. Quite simply coal and oil energy is just sooo dam cheap. Think about it. You dig up really black dirt (coal) and burn it.
But I agree, for many countries there is only a lack of will. Witness the bailout in all the different countries.
Until we invest in better solutions to the waste problem, i cannot agree. However there are solutions on the drawing board. These are reactors that should be built next. Not later when we have an even larger stockpile of waste.
It goes without saying that waste should be reprocessed.
Also it is not a given that nuclear is economically competitive with alternatives. 3-5billion is figure for a pwr plant. And a fast spectrum reactor could go as high as 10billion. The Canada heavy water plant cost 10 billion.(sorry I can't find my sources now.)
But then again there was >700billion for bail outs. So lets just print the money.. What could possibly go wrong.
Normal silicon based solar cells raw material is sand (Silica or Silicon dioxide). Solar thermal just needs the sand for glass for the mirrors, and is otherwise not all that fancy. Add the fact that there are thermal storage methods that also work, solar thermal looks pretty good.
But they have a point when considering some of the more exotic solar tech. And as I have been saying for a while, if you want to invest, invest in Pt.
Yea they could. But the power usb plugs for your wall socket that i have seen, just have 2 wires.
Also i don't think you would be able to easily test with a "logic" screwdriver what was connected anyway. I don't know the usb handshaking, but if the default state is high impedance then they others will still look disconnected.
But wiring up a plug yourself would be very easy. Just get a usb cable and cut as needed.
Well "back then" windows 3.1 wasn't a box of candy either. Ok so a little further back than 2000. But even now, once you really get down to it, windows 95 etc was no picnic to install and drivers often didn't work. It is not just linux that has improved.
My wife is playing quake on Slackware right now and i'm typing this on slackware. We only have Slackware in this household. Even on the laptop. Ironically Ubantooo or whatever didn't even boot on that.
I had a break from the slack once, but i hated all the updates the dam thing wanted me to do all the time.

Well if you wait long enough... Like long enough for the sun to go Red giant on us. Like 5 billion years.
That was in fact my friends house. It was in New Zealand Auckland. It took me a while to believe her.
Christian lobby Groups in HK are trying to push web filtering on ISP to 'protect their children'.
There fixed that for you.

Na, asciimation
Unfortunately it does not work in lynx.
You could always join a racetrack... Its more fun that not being able to drink at parties too.

Academic lawyers generally have a slanted view on the world
In my experience all lawyers have a slanted view of the world. The problem is, so does the Judge. And don't get me started with jury's.

Did you in fact read anything in the comments?

So really we're down to a potential problem with photo-voltaic solar power..
Normal silicon based PV cells don't have this problem. So really its down to a few *specific* forms of PV that are not even mainstream.
Normal silicon based solar cells raw material is sand (Silica or Silicon dioxide). Solar thermal just needs the sand for glass for the mirrors, and is otherwise not all that fancy. Add the fact that there are thermal storage methods that also work, solar thermal looks pretty good.
