You are right. A few millennia ago, Earth had way higher CO2 levels and it did support life. Actually, a lot of life was way better off at higher CO2 levels. It didn't support human life, and it probably cannot with higher CO2 levels, but if that's no requirement, you're right.
At school I learned that plants already did that for millennia. They take in CO2, sunlight and water to produce sugar, starch and cellulose and they expel O2. Now we have the first negative CO2 emission plant?
When did plants become CO2 producers?
(And yes, I know that they do at night, c'mon, it's a joke, people...)
So it "eliminates" 50m CO2. How much geothermal energy does it use for this, and how much CO2 could be saved by not running this plant and instead using the power to power whatever is now being powered by a power plant burning coal, oil or gas?
Exactly. Schools should be teaching students how to think, how to learn what they do not already know, and exposing them to diverse topics against which they can ply these skills.
And how should THAT make them better workers, willing to work long hours for little pay without complaining? Our schools instill what they are supposed to: Conformity, subservience and following unquestioningly whatever the authority demands from you.
Respect is earned, not given freely. And few who consider themselves "betters" have done anything to earn respect. What they deserve is a bullet, and what keeps them alive is that they ain't worth the jail time.
Care to show me the logic in German grammatical genders? The sentence "The girl puts the milk on the table" would, with pronouns substituting the nouns, be "It puts her on him" in German!
Well, he knows English, and just look at how he drives Apple into the ground. His logic is sound, English didn't do diddly jack to make me run this company efficiently, maybe programming would have.
Are we talking about programming or slapping code together that somehow does shit? Because yes, the latter is easy. Sadly, because it also means that we're stuck with horribly inefficient, insecure and unmanageable code that people wrote that thought they can program when all they actually were capable of was cargo-cult programming and cribbing from various webpages.
And we sure as FUCK don't need more idiots like that!
And it's the perfect poster for how outsourcing works. You replace fat, lazy domestic fucks with clueless idiots from abroad who have no idea how our culture works.
On the other hand, do I want to side with someone who is "a former telemarketing kingpin, wannabe reality TV personality, two-time FTC loser"?
I feel kinda reminded of the whole "MAFIAA vs. Kimmie Dotcom" deal. There, I just wanted both sides to lose. Here, I wouldn't mind legalized gambling, but at the price of having such a slimeball getting his way?
Actually, the username is unique. You can change it, but even then it still needs to be unique.
Given that I also have a unique name, it's kinda hard to "prove" that someone isn't me if that name comes up on FB. Then it's nice to be the one who has the account that is "in" my name instead of "therealwillsmith" or some bull like that. It makes the whole deal a bit more credible.
Be it as it may, I know that it's at best going to discourage those that aren't really committed to slander, but it's as much as I can sensibly do.
Sorry if I sound like an elitist prick, but the masses had their chance. We invited them into our garden, they trampled the flowers and when we kicked them out they sent the cops after us. Don't expect us to make that mistake again.
How? By you finding the private key to the signature with me? Please. You really think that key isn't gone with the wind the second that door flies in my face?
There's so many ways to keep incriminating evidence in a very volatile yet stable state, it's surprising that investigators still find anything.
Don't worry, we'll find another piece of garbage to infest our computers, tie up CPU cycles unnecessarily and generally annoy internet users and make webpages unsufferably bloated long before Flash's demise.

It usually translates to "It works. But doesn't really scale well, or at all."
So it "eliminates" 50m CO2. How much geothermal energy does it use for this, and how much CO2 could be saved by not running this plant and instead using the power to power whatever is now being powered by a power plant burning coal, oil or gas?

But both, the code and the pizza, ain't worth getting...

Collaborate? How about "how would you LEARN the effin' programming language?"
99% of all documentation, at least past the absolute basics, is available in English only.

Pffft, amateurs. The Germans had "Schnell!" even 75 years ago!
Granted, most of what it did was more mechanical than electronic...
Hey, I bet a lot of people would not mind shooing him on the moon.
It's not a matter of popularity, more one of consciousness.
I'm in favor of allowing people to do what they want to do, including gambling. I just don't feel that someone like THIS should run it.
My name is worldwide unique. If you google my name, you will find me, and only me.
Plus a few things I have invented just in case some nosy prospective employer is snooping around. ;)

I just hope for a sympathetic terrorist to park the next plane in the correct building this time.
I mean, think of all the sympathy and support they could get! These terrorists are really bad at PR, I tell ya.
He's not behind bars.
Then again, maybe it's for the better. It's so hard to get a hand on those bastards when the state protects them.
On one hand, why not?

Not at all.

Oh please, you think they'd ask the ho if she's ok with being filmed?
If you're a comedian, it's good for more material than even Trump currently.
