One of the most powerful weapons of war and control is money and banking systems. "Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.” Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild.
There's no evidence any Rothschild ever said this. It was attributed to him by lobbyist & author T.Cushing Daniel in 1911 and was one of several corrupt appropriations of Scottish politician Andrew Fletcher's remark "if a man were permitted to make all the ballads he need not care who should make the laws of a nation"
Any word on how Trump is going make Python great, finally? Maybe by adding curly braces?
Programming was great when we had GOTO so that's how Trump will save Python from being a LOSER and make it win, win, win until we're tired of it winning
"you're like the kid who shit his pants and thinks no one noticed so he keeps being loud" That's one of your personal anecdotes I really didn't need to know but common politeness dictates I thank you for sharing. So, thanks.
I take it you haven't heard of solar panels being mounted on house roofs?
As I said elsewhere, the government doesn't own the houses. They can't go installing solar panels on houses to power the street lights because the home owners may want to install their own panels to power the house.
The government, in many places, mandates that *your* house be connected to the utilities or face condemnation & seizure. They could very well demand you provide the power to the streetlight in front of your home. Over time, they have drastically altered the deal with homeowners. Pray they do not alter it any further.
China has been taking action against coal plant emissions for a few years, passed laws roughly as stringent as any to be found in the West that went into enforcement in Fall 2014 and, most importantly, were not grandfathering ANY plants. I don't know if they've backed on on that since the law went into effect. But even for their heavy handed government, enforcement isn't easy and local officials typically have quite a bit of power. But if there's a death or disaster, those same officials quickly find themselves in front of a firing squad
Sounds like there'll be lots of government jobs, especially for 'is Yugeness' version of Operation Wetback. But the GOP is supposed to be the small government party so I anticipate they'll struggle with than conundrum for a whole day before deciding on the font size of their rubber stamp.
"not very good publicity to yank 80 year old grandma's into court" The fine would be much higher than just the $20 fee and they can just hire the MPAA / RIAA lawyers to go after them. Those assholes will probably eat a few grandmas along with suing them out of their life savings.
As a long time Slashdot user, longer even than my UID suggests, I'm glad to see someone take an interest in improving the site. I imagine you're going to get a lot of snark & flak, along with a few feature requests and the odd helpful suggestion. About the only thing on my wishlist is comment editing. I think that feature is long overdue here.
They printed (and continue to print) every bit of anti-Trump fake news they could find, and they make stuff up when they can't find other stuff to print, and Trump still won the election.
I recently bought the Phenom II X4 945 dropped it in an AM2+/AM3 board I had lying around. It's now my FreeNAS server. I have another Phenom II X4 960T running WinXP for old time's sake (which will soon be switched over to Linux).
I dumped XP from bare metal years ago, before Win 7 got to SP1 but I still have a handful of XP virtual machines I use for various things.
Calm the fuck down, fuckface. My vision is quite poor and I wasn't replying to your comment from my usual computer with its larger screens so I only noticed the first line. That's what I replied to.
"us non-ugly happy normal people". Right. Saying that on the internet, especially on/. is like telling everyone you have a big dick. If you're making the claim, we know it's a fucking lie.
"don't no one give a fuck what you think is good for other people's kids" Don't no one who don't give a fuck goes to the trouble of telling someone they don't give a fuck about that they don't give a fuck.
I'll never understand why they went with the name nForce, especially since it was around the time when the battles with nVidia Geforce were the most intense.
"In other words while you were looking for a new job, he did the same, and found one"
He had this lined up before we knew the sky was falling. And he had quitely negotiated a nice parting gift for himself while 50 of us lost thousands in unpaid salary & benefits. That detail only came to light years later when a couple of us finally were able to get our hands on some withheld company documents.
"And AMD systems are usually upgradeable for years to come" That's one reason why I've kept buying their CPUs. I built an all-new systems in 2006 with an AM2 CPU on an nForce mainboard with 2GB PC2-5300 and kept upgrading it piecemeal over the next 6 years until reaching a FX-8150 system with 16GB DDR3. My laptops and servers (mostly 2ndhand) have all been Intel. Remains to be seen if that changes in the next couple years.

Northern China uses coal for local heat. Just like people in London did when they had killing 'fogs'.
Coal burning stoves are dirty as fuck.
Some years ago, I was mentoring a student from Northern China and he did mention that coal was the primary fuel source in households.
China has been taking action against coal plant emissions for a few years, passed laws roughly as stringent as any to be found in the West that went into enforcement in Fall 2014 and, most importantly, were not grandfathering ANY plants. I don't know if they've backed on on that since the law went into effect.

"California had a terrible smog problem in the 1970s and early 1980s"
With such a low UID, one would think you could remember that CA smog problems went back much, much further.

I think you meant $640,000
You're right about the 1/2 blind nerd. The rest sounds like you're projecting.
You clearly know nothing about South Carolina, or most of the South for that matter.
Apart from the fact that their idea of "Make America Great Again" is return not to 1950 but to 1850?

"Whats funny to me is the jackasses that think solar and wind power are a partisan political issue, because they aren't"
Please tell that to the jackasses in Congress.
What virtualization software do you use to run WinXP?
I've run it under both Virtualbox & ESXi
"We had a similar setup way back when I first entered the industry at a dotcom hosting company"
What was the company's name?
They printed (and continue to print) every bit of anti-Trump fake news they could find, and they make stuff up when they can't find other stuff to print, and Trump still won the election.
Thanks, Vlad!!

nForce *was* an nVidia chipset brand, originally for AMD but extending to Intel in later versions
