Sigh. Re-correction. No difference really. You can achieve the same effect in Google Earth (Linux or Windows) by setting altitude to "Absolute" in the Chernobyl overlayed layer.
Oops. Okay, just tried under Windows. So yeah, in the browser-embedded you also see the Chernobyl radiation map floating over the Fukushima site. Fancy.
I didn't mean only convenience for the consumers, but also convenience for planning purposes.
I guess the community well drew water either from groundwater or from pipes that ran to it.
But GGP is talking about salt water. I don't think there's a workable way to convey it to the households or to community wells in these places. A vehicle carrying water to refill the wells may work for sparsely populated areas, but I doubt they can afford that. And for conveying salt water, you would need special and costly pipes, which again I don't think they can afford and maintain. The article is about areas with limited water resources - quite a few of them don't even have infrastructure for bringing enough fresh water nearby.
Besides, like others have pointed out, there is the issue of what to do with the waste. Salt water with excrement is useless - it would just accumulate and cause environment issues. Treating it to make it usable for something - i.e. irrigation, would, again, be very expensive.
You have to take that water to the residential areas somehow. How do you manage that?
1) You ship the water in trucks, and have the people dump bucket loads in the john... not exactly convenient, and not sure if it makes economical sense.
2) Pump the water to the households. That would require building new pipes, because you don't want salty water in the shower/washtub/etc, and most of the current pipes, where existing, would likely corrode quickly with salty water. This is no small deal, considering a good part of the population concerned probably doesn't even have plumbing.
The classic shell in Windows 7 is a theme built atop of Windows 7's non-aero UI. It's dimensions are all wrong, it doesn't line up with anything properly. Spacing/margins/padding are all off by enough to make it bastard ugly.
Funny. To me, it looks pretty much like XP's classic theme (I completely skipped Vista) after changing the large icons on desktop and task bar, and setting the "Number of Recent Programs" to 20 so that the Start menu takes up all vertical space.
The Aero themes on the other hand, make stuff look a bit jostled out of place, especially for pre-Vista applications.
All Google had to do was give me a fucking homepage and a fucking textarea to jot down quick status updates, and voilà!--Facebook is dead in a month. No asinine games, no privacy-stealing bullshit, no invites to time-wasters, no childish crap. Just a public frontpage tied to my Gmail address.
Because asinine status updates from random contacts reporting how drunk they are, what they had for breakfast or what their cat had for breakfast are so much better.
No thanks, please keep gmail a clean, uncluttered email client; that's what many of us like about it. And leave social networking for those who want to be in social networks.
MS tried to pull something like that with hotmail and didn't work so well. Not that they were doing great against gmail, but if anything, the social network thingy embedded in hotmail only drove more people to gmail.
Huh? I'm certainly not the one pulling a strawman.
I'm just pointing out there was a time when unfirewalled Windows would get infected in a matter of seconds. It's relevant since GP used past tenses (...never taken any precautions... never had a computer compromised... ) without a time frame.
I don't know if the dialog popped out of thin air or as a result of a drive-by download from some random site, but a file called "SkypeUpdate.exe" downloaded from anywhere but the official Skype site sounds every bit as dodgy as "jessica-alba-topless-hot-lesbian-sex-hd-video.exe" to me.
Windows pre-xp sp2 (when it started shipping with a firewall), directly connected to the net with no hardware firewall or router in between, would get pwned by Sasser in... 30 seconds? Nay, more like 10 seconds.
As a vegetarian I can relate to that, it's about awareness. But I have no goal in mind to turn people off meat, and I don't judge people who eat meat. After all, we are gifted to be top-of-the-chain predators.
I wouldn't mind eating meat coming from animals I had killed myself, if I ever found myself in a situation that only animal food is available.
Just be aware.
By the way, while we're on the topic of division of labor - for efficiency's sake, I guess - production of animal food is orders of magnitude less calorie-efficient than vegetable food. It is only through subsidies coming out of our pockets that we don't realize that.
It wasn't so bad because it was so simple. It didn't try to do anything slightly advanced, such as basic multi-tasking or memory protection.
Several programs could run at the same time, but that relied on each program not stepping on any others' toes, no protection from the OS granted, so things could go badly wrong.
It must be delivered to whoever the binaries are given to.
Yes, and the GPL'ed portion of the Android source code (the kernel) must be somewhere on the net (otherwise they are in violation of the GPL).
It just isn't very useful without the rest of the software stack, which is under Apache and does not have to be released. Whether that's ethical and smart or not is another matter.
I don't play games very often these days. Anyway, I remember playing Rise Of The Triad on Virtual PC, and IIRC it did a much better job than DOSbox. It emulated a S3 graphics card.
That was quite a few years ago, when Virtual PC didn't belong to Microsoft yet, and I am not sure VMWare existed.

I am mildly disappointed the editor didn't not(ic)e you can just download the kmz and see the same thing, just not within the browser.

Yeah, a counseling app with a location-aware advertisement banner down the bottom.
The topic is stereoscopic 3D, not 3D gaming engines.
Anyway, as to 3D platform games, I don't know about DNMP but Mario 64 is one of the best games ever made.
So your statement that Asians "have the greatest intelligence on average of any race" shows that you're not racist. Now that's a solid argument.

How about filing regular patents and refrain from enforcing them against others in the F/OSS community, just like Red Hat does?
Unfortunately that does require plenty of cash for litigation if a big corporation decides to challenge the patents anyway.
Speak for yourself, I loathe those crappy facebook/twitter icons.

I thought "sterile plants" was a basic requirement of the GM business plan
Either it isn't, or Monsanto is doing a sucky job at it and getting away with it (profiting from it, in fact).
get the farmers dependent on buying seeds every year
Oh you can do that through lawyers too.

You know there are cards that can be used either as a credit card or as a debit card, right?

The NY times article is, in turn, sourced by Wikipedia, which would create a circular reference.
Oh well, not that it would be the first time.
OK, after reading TFA, the complain does make some sense, it's about some device-custom kernel sources not being released.
It must be delivered to whoever the binaries are given to.
Yes, and the GPL'ed portion of the Android source code (the kernel) must be somewhere on the net (otherwise they are in violation of the GPL).
