But what if we collect so much solar radiation that it affects global climate? If that radiation is no longer heating the surface of the earth but instead being converted to electricity won't that have an effect on the climate?
I doubt there's any one solution. The solution is to have a variety of energy sources. Man doesn't exist on Coca Cola alone (ok, some do but they aren't doing very well).
I wouldn't really classify this as censorship personally. I think it's a parents right to filter whatever content they want from their children. I would like to filter all websites that contain references to Elmo. Please pass legislation that ISPs can be branded Elmo free.
I keep my main configuration files (e.g..bashrc,.emacs) in a subsversion repository. When I get on a new machine I checkout the "my-etc" project that contains those files. I have a Makefile with a target "links" which automatically creates sym-links and makes backups of the original files. It has worked well for me for quite some time now. It gives me the freedom of making config changes and easily importing those changes (svn up) on other machines.
I'll second that. I've been using ev1 for more than a year now and I've been completely satisfied. The prices are reasonable, the hardware is rock-solid stable, the network is fast, and the tech support is competent. My plan with ev1 includes remote access to the serial port. I've been lazy and finally got around to setting up serial console support but I couldn't access it. I sent ev1 some technical data and they resolved the problem relatively quickly (it was on their end) without questioning the data I provided to them.
I run significantly faster on the road than on treadmills. I run about 30 seconds to 1 minute per mile faster on the road than on the treadmill. This is true of my TRAINING runs, not only race events where adrenaline plays a role. The longest I've run on a treadmill is 20 miles.
I don't like running on a treadmill compared to the road and the boringness is only part of it.
I'm tired of companies that offer a contract with a set price only to change the price arbitrarily with "surcharges." The odds are completely in the companies favor. They have a customer locked into a mult-year contract with a certain minimum price but the company can raise prices on a whim with "surcharges." If they can do that why can't I add in my own "surcredits?"
I recently dropped my garbage collection company because of surcharges. I've really respect companies that charge me ONE price per month with no lengthy contract (Time Warner is the ONLY example I can think of). I really don't care what factors into some companies cost of doing business. I don't care how much gas costs Waste Management and I don't want to see it on my bill.
Yes, movie attendance is down this year. But what most articles don't mention is that movie attendance was at record highs for the previous two summers!
I'm tired of everyone thinking that all businesses and industries must GROW GROW GROW. Why can't it be sufficient to maintain what you already have?
Do you really think the children take the pledge to heart? Speaking for myself I HATED chanting that pledge. I thought it was silly and I still do. I'm sure I'm not alone.
I have what I call a half-assed cube. It's not even a cube. They removed the rear wall and half of the wall to my right. They call it a "labicle." The truth is that they don't trust us and thus force our montiors to be open to everyone. What a fantastic work envrironment!
The second you hear that word in the context of writing software stop listening to the person who spoke it. Just because a technique is old does not make it inferior.
Windows is easier to use - the first time. *NIX is easier to use for every time after that.
In windows you are typically hand held through each task. This is great when you have no idea what you are doing. It becomes bothersome when you know what you are doing because the hand-holding slows you down.
In *NIX you can automate *anything*. You constantly learn tips and tricks and build your knowledge. Every single day you become a more proficient user.
Thank you for the information. It turns out that the port was completed last night. For a few hours the calls rang the disconnected landline. Late that night calls started ringing the cell phone.
I'm not done though - 3 months is FAR too long for this process to take. Someone needs to be responsible for this.
I've been trying since December 6th 2003 to port my landline number to a verizon phone (bought on December 6th). We were told it would take 3-4 days to port the number. I expected 2 weeks.
So far it's been 3 months and I've made more than 25 phone calls to Verizon - and still the number is not ported. To make matters even better the landline carrier, Frontier Telephone of Rochester disconnected my number today. I immediately called Verizon (yes, Verizon) about this. They tried to get a conference call to Frontier but Frontier was closed for the day.
Can someone please tell me what to do? I filed a complaint with the FCC a week or two ago. I tried contacted a local TV news source but they didn't want to help me (or couldn't). I also left a message with the NYS attorney general tonight. I really don't know who to contact.
I switched to Verizon because I was unhappy with Frontier and it wouldn't cost much more to use Verizon and have 2 phones with many more features than my landline carrier. Instead I'm faced with 3 months of phone calls to Verizon and Frontier and both companies pointing the finger at each other (and me wanting to point the finger at both).
Verizons customer support has been very friendly and seemingly helpful but the fact of the matter is that after 25 calls and 3 months time the number still isn't ported.
When I call Frontier they promptly tell me that I should be dealing with Verizon - not them. Their reps are typically very rude. A while back I was lucky enough to get a nice rep who put me in touch with her supervisor. Her supervisor was nice and contacted their porting department (which I can't contact). He said their porting department wouldn't tell him why, but that Verizon wasn't giving them the information they needed to port the number.
To the best of my knowledge Verizon has sent at least 4 port requests. 3 have been ignored and one was denied.
I almost forgot! We were never offered a temp number for the wireless phone so we can only make outgoing calls on it. This has been a major hassle.
Sorry about the rambling nature of this post but I am extremely upset...
Do animals other than humans dance to audio? I am serious! It seems like it is a natural reaction for humans to move when they hear a rythmic sound, do other animals do the same?
When I worked repairing windows PCs someone brought in a PC that was recovered from a fire in their house. The case was badly melted and the machine smelled very bad, but the machine would boot just fine. We were able to recover all the data!

I don't understand. Libgc does all of that.
A garbage collector...like this one?

I don't want to use web objects until they put some rails on it. Or maybe if they clean it with a chemical cleaner...

Although readline has a somewhat substantial learning curve it's my favorite UI. Using bash I can honestly say is a pleasure.

With cygwin you'll feel closer to home. You can even run xfree86 rootless using cygwin.
You'll have perl, pythong, cron, bash and hundreds (thousands?) of other unix goodies.
It's still windows but cygwin almost makes MS Windows usable.

I had never heard of mp3s until Lars Ulrich from Metallica made me aware that I could download their studio albums for free.
