My HP laptop has never crashed or frozen under load. It slows down, sure, but thats to be expected when you are using 80 percent of the ram capacity and 100 percent of both processors for scientific computations. The fact that Apple products do is hilarious to me, because its one more thing that smacks the fanboi's in the face. Apple fanboi's are the biggest pricks I have ever had the misfortune of coming accros. Its time they realized that other manufacturers offer the same or better over Apple and STFU about how great their Mac is. "It just works", yeah right.
Wrong. Other manufacturers fix the problems before they become problems or communicate with the people that it is a problem and fix it after, even if that means recalls or refurbishment. Apple has such a huge ego they think that you are one of their little peons and you should be grateful to even own one of their products.
My HP laptop hasn't crashed once, and I have done scientific computations in Matlab on it that take up about 80 percent of the RAM and both processor cores at 100 percent.
You realize Paul was a murdering bastard right? He had his cronies kills those who opposed him, mainly the Jewish/Gnostic Christians. He is as bad as Muhammad, and rewrote the scriptures to suite his own power lust just the same. Jesus may have been a good guy, but the majority of popular and modern organized religions are a power construct to keep people under control of a few. Scientology is just a rehash of the same old pattern that gave rise to all modern religions. Its the same shit as the first tribal shaman that figured out when an eclipse may take place and told his people when it would occur while claiming "divine knowledge". They used it to their advantage to get special treatment as a king when its just some natural explanation available to all who seek it. I hate religion for this reason, it encourages stupidity and sheep mentality, and it prevents people from reaching their full potential. Religion creates people like Joel Osteen or the TBN assholes, or L. Ron Hubbard, or Hovind. They are all Misleader's trying to skim money out of uneducated peoples' wallets as well as undeserved reverence.
My point is not that the Bible is worthless, my point is that people that believe in modern Young-Earth theories or the typical flavor of intelligent design or creationism are idiots.
Well, if you read Genesis closely you will see a reference that other humans existed at the time of Adam and Eve. Cain was exiled after killing Abel to live amongst humans. I believe Adam and Eve were supposed to be the ancestors of the Jews, not all man. Anyway, its still bullshit methinks.
At least this seems more reasonable than actually claiming all animals have continued to exist as they are since the beginning of time. Still, a global flood and not enough water to show for it?
More oxygen in the atmosphere due to a different balance in bio-diversity in bacteria and algae? IDK, the canopy theory sounds like its comes out of the extremes of lunacy.
No no, about the scientists believing in god, and thinking perhaps the natural universe as we have perceived it (theories of star formation, galaxy formation, big bang, evolution) is "his way" of doing things. Its unfalsifiable, and not science, but it deserves to be protected on discrimination grounds (i.e. you shouldn't be forced to be an atheist if you are a scientist). All the same, belief that a god made the universe along the lines that science has discovered is a lot more respectable than actually believing in and/or advocating the standard creationism or intelligent design poppycock.
Yeah, that is ok. But teaching that god created the world in 7 days and its only been around for 6000 years, or that there was an "ice shield" around the earth that blocked out harmful UV rays making humans live longer, or that an ark would be capable of carrying two of every species in a global flood, or that evolution is not occurring, etc., is sheer lunacy.
I believe this bill also needs to be modified to allow one to teach that the green cheese fairy living in the pumpkin house by the spaghetti farm on the dark side of the moon helped manufacture earth from the primordial cheese whiz with the help of the space goblins.
Still, if we had safer reactors it would over time phase out less safe ones. Keep in mind you probably would get higher energy yields from modern reactors per input, especially since newer breeder reactors can recycle spent fuel.
That sort of surprises me since I thought a nuclear detonation was the only thing that causes this problem with EMP. Anyway, there are radiation hardened computer chips but I am not sure how long that would take to manufacture. Also, you could build a Faraday cage and lead shielding around the control electronics and control the robot from a cable.
So make a fleet of hose-wielding wheeled robots, attach them to pumps that can pump seawater, station the pumps 12 miles away from the reactors at the coast, and ask the world governments for every fire hose and fire hose coupler they can find. Im sure if you get 20 or so robots you could at least deal with the worst problem first, then try the same thing or re-evaluate the strategy with the other problems as you get the radiation down to tolerable levels where humans can work.
Im definitely surprised there are no robots bringing hoses over to the core. It seems like it wouldn't take this long to make a wheeled robot capable of handling a hose travel to the reactor. Sure, it would be a long-ass hose, but I see no reason its not possible given enough pumps at the far end and enough couples to screw fire hoses together.
Nothing wrong with nuclear power if its done correctly. I seem to remember liquid sodium cooled reactors that are safer than any of the water reactors, yet you anti-nuclear people wont allow these safe reactors to be built to replace the less safe water reactors. Good work, you basically made a self fulfilling prophecy.
The mass hysteria over nuclear power is ridiculous. If any of these people would pick up a physics textbook they would realize Fukushima is not dangerous to anyone but the Japanese in a 100 mile radius of it. Furthermore, an earthquake followed by a tsunami is not something that most mainland nuclear reactors need to worry about. As I have heard, the reactor did well until the tsunami hit. Ok, so we shouldnt build nuclear reactors on the coastline in an area prone to tsunamis, lesson learned, now apply the lesson and stop bitching about one of the cleanest and highest yielding energy sources within man's reach.
That's probably because their music isn't owned by them from when they signed a record deal with some big name record label. Big record companies routinely screw over musicians by retaining ownership over the music so they can later release compilations or greatest hits CD's without the band's consent. iTunes only takes like 30-40 percent of sales if you own your own music. I looked into getting some of my music out there using CDbaby and they give you about 65 cents per song, and you keep ownership over your own music.
Consider the musicians that make the music. At 99 cents per song they only make about 50-60 cents. Just to pay rent in a 800 dollar apartment they need to sell 1600 a month at that rate. They have to sell shitloads of music to make a decent wage. Digital distribution actually helps them out because they get a better cut than with a record contract, but then they don't have access to the advertisement that goes into most pop music. If you think pop music is good and sells because people are informed consumers, then why does it need so much advertising to make it sell?
Exactly. An application that costs 5 bucks looks a lot better than a software suite that costs 250. Even if you spend 5 dollars 50 times you are perceiving that you are getting more for less. Additionally, most people don't want to buy whole albumns simply because half the songs on them are crap. Steam also has it down. When Steam does game sales, I purchase 5 times what I normally would. These companies need to realize that if you lower prices, you will make more money as evident by Apple and Steam.
That may be because paranormal things don't ever happen. Its just a rare thing with a physical explanation (maybe based on physics which are not known yet). You may as well believe in the lucky green cheese fairy who lives in a pumpkin house on a spaghetti farm on the dark side of the moon over psychics and ghosts.

Pirate the same software for a new PC and if you are caught say that since you own the original license and its not installed on a Mac you are legal?

What about analog computers?
