Some places that used to have snow will no longer have snow. No places that don't currently have snow will get snow. this, the total amount of snow will be reduced, making it less rare. Anywhere can have snow if you really want it to, but it gets mighty expensive mighty fast.
The quote down the bottom for me was something along the lines of "one of the great mercies of the human brain is its inability to compare its contents."
When did I mention any political party? When did I mention taxes. Taxes are the most common way for a government to raise money, but it's not the only one. No matter what a country's tax system, they still must pay their legal debts.
You've fucked your economy too hard for your dollar to be worth that much any more. In much the same way as beta will fuck/. too hard for it to be worth coming back to.
Most of the Reddit discussion was about how to properly categorize them. I usually go with "Electro-Industrial". What does Industrial Alternative mean? Is there a mainstream industrial scene?
Being "the government" doesn't give them a free pass to do what they want (no matter what the NSA tries to tell you.) They have incurred debts and must pay them. If you don't like the way they're using "your" money, elect someone who won't incur this kind of debt.
The content created by us plebes is what actually sells your ads. I come to the site to read informed discussion. That is not created by: your editors, submitters, advertisers or user interface..
This story is a perfect example. I read it a few days ago on Reddit (and no I didn't submit it to/.) Days later I see it here, but I still click on it to see what the/. crowd have to say about it. The Reddit crowd talked about it, but the moron/intelligent response ratio is far too high, the way/. arranges the comments allows me to filter out the useless comments, and only look at the highly moderated comments without fucking around too much. Also the quality of the users drawn here tends to be better informed and less partisan (two things that people always complain about here, but it's so much worse elsewhere.) If the beta gets pushed through, it'll basically be what I can get on Reddit 2 days earlier.

That's the state of the law. If the government don't like the law they can change it. Of course, talking about the government following it's own laws while in another sovereign country torturing legally innocent people is a little silly. For those who are like me and would kinda like listening to Skinny Puppy all day, they do sometimes switch it up and play Barney the Dinosaur.
Maybe some of us like fucking steaming piles of shit. Not me though, I'm outta here once the steaming pile of shit is the only thing left for me to fuck.
They say that the people who always do the best out of a gold rush are the guys selling the shovels. Even if you're a die-hard bitcoin supporter, you need to accept that there is some risk to it. Selling a computer has no such risk. Kinda like staying with/. with the beta looming has a risk to it, where simply moving to a different site has no such risk.
Was it DOS4 or DOS5 that sucked? I'm getting a little rusty. I remember reading about a year after the fact that everyone had moved to a different version within a couple of months, but I wasn't as with-it back then so I stayed on it for multiple years.
Relying on underground water is a risky strategy to begin with, but if you're taking it out at a slower rate than it naturally replenishes itself then you're fine. If you're pushing it and taking it out at a rate that's not much slower, then it doesn't take much to get you in trouble.
I'm in the same boat. I kept seeing these "beta sucks" comments, and I thought it was just the old codjers whining whenever anything changes. I thought, I'll go check it out, how bad can it be. Holy fuck! Very: very fucking bad is how bad it can be. For the record, I'm a long time user of both Windows ME, and Windows Vista (and MS-DOS 5, if anyone remembers that); something in my psyche just likes getting abused I guess, but I'm not sure if I can stand the new/.
I can't tell if you're talking about fracking or the/. beta.
If you're talking about fracking, it's had a lot of bad press from some cowboys doing it in places where they shouldn't. Reforming the regulations around it (like not letting them dump undisclosed chemicals) could make it a far more palatable option. It's still an expensive operation, so it won't bring the oil price back down, but it can help fuel domestic industry in the USA by not having to buy fuel on the international market.
If you're talking about the beta, then it's an unmitigated clusterfuck and I hope they kill it before it infects everyone else. I like the idea of the altslashdot.org project, let's all get on board with that.
My favourite thing about the beta so far is that the headline of this story was cut off by the stupid front page redesign. It's like they're saying: "you don't really need to read the story, just look at this stock image about it and you'll know everything you need to know!"
The stupid people are already well catered for. Turn on any TV and you'll find something for the people who don't care about the facts, but want to know that everything's going to be ok, and want something interesting to talk about at parties./. used to cater to the person who wanted a little more depth. A story would kick off discussion, and there would be hundreds of subject experts pop up and put it all into perspective. People would tell stories of when they were involved in similar things in the past, stories about complex science would get discussions by people who actually understood what they were talking about, and would give us links to the actual scientific paper, free from all the journalistic hype. Ignoring how bad the design of the beta site is: if it drives away even a small portion of the people who read this site, the discussion will degenerate, and frankly, I can get the stories elsewhere.
We need the Snowdens of the world, precisely because you can't do "whatever you want" in a "free country". The NSA etc. thinks that because they're "the good guys" they can do whatever they want to catch "the bad guys." They can't: we have the constitution, and if they can't do their jobs while following it, we need to replace them with people who can.
Holy shit. Filtered by the highest rated stories, they're ALL about how no-one likes the beta. I realise that corporate wheels take a long time to change direction, but if this shit isn't fixed soon it'll be fairly clear that they don't give a shit about anyone who uses this site. I'll be following this story: http://slashdot.org/submission... for some new ideas.
Online communities come and go. I've been part of a few that have died: either the people backing it decided that they didn't want to any more, or new people came in and eventually changed the feel of the community. I realize that I haven't been here as long as a lot of other people (yes there are 7 digits in that ID) so the sting of nostalgia doesn't hit me as hard (or you might say I'm one of the new people who have changed how/. feels). It's always important to have a back-up plan. If the classic layout does get implemented, people will go somewhere else for their news: if we all go to the same place, we can keep the same feeling of community. Any good suggestions out there?
Well, here at/. we're familiar with comment sections that are easy to navigate, easy to read and simple to follow. As with many others, I usually already know the stories before they come to/. from Reddit/Ars/other news sources. The only reason to come to/. is the (partially) informed comments and discussion following the article. It's like if they made New Coke taste like lemonade: sure lot's of people like lemonade, and you can make money selling, but that's not why people drink Coke.
OK then, where is your evidence that spontaneous generation did not occur on Earth? Also, there's the old adage that if you think you understand thermodynamics, you really have no idea.
