It was the 5 minute long unskippable ads that finally forced me to block all ads on youtube about a year ago. So yep, know where you're coming from on that.
So that's it. Nowhere in the paper does it attribute a single event to AGW. But that's ok, because the headline also lies: that was not the paper's intention or purpose. The paper was merely an attempt to survey the field, and understand where we are in terms of being able to attribute extreme weather to AGW (or any other factor, for that matter).
In likely 40 years they won't be able to attribute extreme weather either. And still won't be able to tell you if it's going to rain at 5pm tomorrow, because of a sudden rise in high pressure from the northern arctic that they forgot to include in their models because it seemed "too unlikely to cause any change."
Weather and climate can be best described as chaos theory in action. Our study of it? Trying to put it in a bottle to make sure, the problem is we've only managed to trap some argon and nitrogen in the bottle, but look at the power of our rain dancer! The medicine man agrees with tomorrows calls for rain.
That moment when you realize today's kids don't even know what a BBS, or have a memorized Hayes command set, and don't know that Kermit was both a puppet and a transfer protocol.
10 upgrade because their 5 year old computers had hardware that does not have drivers for windows 10.
Must be some pretty esoteric hardware. Since windows 10 will run old dotmatrix printers from the 90's without even batting an eye, same with hardware telephone modems hooked up by parellel or serial ports.
How about attacks by those economic migrants? You know, like when they rioted and put several dozen civilians and police officers in hospital when they tried to take over a ferry.
And I consider myself a very liberal minded person who thinks Western nations have a responsibility to take in all the refugees caused by the post 9/11 Middle East adventure.
So does that mean muslims nations are required to take responsibility for the ~700 years of attacks against European nations? Including the mass rapes, slaughter of civilians and destruction of churches or other cultural locations.
The problem here is fanaticism and sectarianism. Recent political events in the US show that it would easily happen here as well if the people could get away with it (just like it did during the "lynching" era).
Reminder: Lynching is what white people do to white people when there are disputes over taxes. And more white people were lynched during the american revolution then were during the strong era of the KKK.
Why is it that Buddhists are called terrorists when they fight violent Islamists but when western nations do the same thing for the same reasons they are considered peacekeepers?
Haven't been paying attention to the news much? Regressives have been calling western nations "colonizers" and "attempting cultural genocide" for over a decade when the west fights back.
However, I will not fall victim to discriminating, as seems to be very popular in the United States these days, and you should be ashamed of yourself for sinking to that level.
Disclaimer: I'm a Canuck.
You don't need to fall to discriminating. Non-western Muslims have done that all on their own, and in some cases western muslims especially those that are first or second generation. Fun reminder: It was CAIR who told muslims not cooperate with police, and it was also CAIR who were unindicted co-conspirators in funding terrorism. It was also various muslims(mainly fundamentalist) who attacked reformists who told police and security services that the police *should* be investigating mosques and in turn keeping a very watchful eye on muslims that go to mosques that are preaching fundamentalism. There's a schism without a doubt, and right now it's reformist vs fundamentalist. And many in the west would rather bury their head in the sand over it.
I thought they were talking about the ECB being able to automatically print money and leverage it against countries in the EU to offset inflation at a national level vs a country level.
And here in Canada, we've had -45C weather and last winter some parts of central Canada hit -55C(windchill of -68C). 4 years ago, it was 18C in the last week of February and quite strange. 6 years ago, 10km from where I now live had 7.5m of snow in a 72hr period. But go back 150 years ago, and the average winter was 8m of snow, and houses with doors on the second floor so you could get out, and other years just like what we have now. Even at that, there are parts of Canada that still see winters like that or more, outside of the snowbelts.
So there was just marijuana in their system I take it? It of course doesn't say that in any of the articles. And mixing drugs is common, just like the people who will go out and start slamming back booze, then follow it up with their favorite tranqs.
The judge did not accept my printed copy, he thought it was too easily faked.
I'll bet the judge turns around and allows faxed documents as 100% reliable and can't be faked either. I don't know of a company these days that has an actual fax machine either. It's all done via software and when printed sent directly to the floor printer.
no they arent. CPU's and GPUs have not been getting faster and faster. Just more efficient. But the days of guaranteed CPU growth in terms of speed is long gone.
Half true, but GPU's and CPU's are dedicating more space to specialized instruction sets. Meaning they're becoming more efficient because of higher clockspeeds and better extension support. They are getting faster though. Hell, ~18 years ago your GPU memory speed was 200Mhz at the very high end and GPU speeds were in the 150Mhz range. These days it's 1Ghz GPU speeds and 1500Mhz memory speeds. Same with CPUs, you're seeing more cores in the same die area as ~10 years ago where you had single cores. Saying that growth in terms of speed is gone, though is wrong.
Except in a lot of cases, that's not what's happening. The CRTC are apparently investigating this already, both Bell and Rogers offer TV services that are not IPTV based.
It's technically termed "the last mile" even in CRTC documents. Those TPIA's(Third Party Internet Access) are also trying to get the CRTC to allow it to happen with fiber as well. But Bell, Rogers, Telus are all trying to say "nononononono we want it to be ours and ours alone." Right at the time time that they tried pushing in TPIA rates that would price the competition right out of business. If I remember right, Teksavvy for example pays around $22/mo to bell and rogers, not sure on cogeco or telus. But it's probably around there.
I've got Wind and was quite happy with it, especially the "local calls in your zone" stuff. Since I live and work in southern ontario, it worked out well for me. But I sure can't say for sure on how this is going to shake out now that they've been bought out.
Depends on where you live. Lot of places in Southern Ontario you can get all those channels OTA. Seeing people getting 30-50 channels OTA isn't uncommon if you're in say Toronto or Kitchener/Waterloo, or people living along Lake Erie/Michigan/Ontario. Live in northern alberta though? Nope.
The thing you're missing is that to get those "a la carte" channels, a lot of those companies are pulling a "and you need to have xyz" service from us too! Internet is the popular one. So, that $25 is now $90 and those 3 or 5 channels you want? Well you might not be able to get them separately, so you might have to buy them in bundle packs. Which could cost you $9-25 per bundle, you're looking at $150+ now...
The size of the country and the population density shouldn't stop the market from determining a fair price, though.
If Rogers, Bell, Telus or Shaw weren't under the eye of the CRTC like they are now. And after they tried to piss around with GAS(aggregated service for internet), it would cost $150/mo for 60GB and they'd still be charging you $20 to rent a modem to boot. The CRTC kicked them in the balls when they tried that BS before.
The problem in Canada, is while indeed 70% of our population lives within 100km of the US border there's still a whole pile of empty space. Lots of talk over the last 15 years though of building and nationalizing a internet backbone here in Canada though.
Canada operates as semi-protectionist. Meaning you're never going to see enough competition here, especially for the landmass and number of people(more people live in California then Canada last I looked). That means the government is left with the option of imposing things when stuff gets out of whack, which it is in Canada right now. Most people I know who had cable up until a few years ago was paying $90/mo for 55 channels. Many dropped cable for netflix and so on. Hell even my parents are considering it, because the only stuff that they see is: Reality TV, reality TV, reality TV, reality TV and more reality TV. Most of what is watched in their house is AMC. What most of my friends watch was sports(which they can pay for online).

The first thought that comes to my mind with Win95 are "winmodems" and man were they a fucking mess.

The creator of the biggest hive of scum and villany on the internet has gone to work for google, and will "fix" social. What could go wrong?
Lowtax? Man, I dunno how that's gonna work out. I mean even to this day he still has "helldump" a forum dedicated to doxing people.
So there was just marijuana in their system I take it? It of course doesn't say that in any of the articles. And mixing drugs is common, just like the people who will go out and start slamming back booze, then follow it up with their favorite tranqs.
This is /. so that's new and exciting information. Just be happy it was only almost 4 years ago.
Perhaps the phone contains unicorns farting rainbows. I am sure that looking for unicorns would be good reason to crack the phone.
Must be why then. I hear Obama's supply of them have run out, and that's why the stock markets have been so bad the last 8 months.
