and its takes nothing to mine, process, refine and transport fossil fuel?
Far less than it does for the other, since we have either pipes in the ground to move it. Or are using byproducts of the refining process to further process it, and in some cases are using non/semi-recyclable materials like car tires, and asphalt.
The Conservatives got training from the American Republican Party. They have been caught cheating, there is lots of other evidence of other cheating and now they're changing the rules so that our formally excellent system is no more.
Oh please. The liberals got exactly the same training, and were caught cheating in the elections during the 90's but I sure don't hear you bitching and moaning about that.
- i think you are referring to fossil fuels in that statement.
Pretty sure I'm talking about exactly what I stated. It's very similar to recycling paper, vs making it from new trees via tree farms. On average it takes 2-6 times more energy and water to make "recycled" paper than it does to make new paper. In turn, it takes a massive amount of energy to get, collect, refine, and turn minute amounts of trace metals required for specialized use in many of these green energy projects. And many of the processes are exceptionally toxic for the environment.
No I think I seem to be arguing against the right person. Perhaps you're just not following the conservation. And with that, sorry no "weather" is not the correct term.
So we got it with the Liberals who were the first runners of this type of law, we got it with the conservatives, but they listened and killed the bills when the public said no way. Following with that, the courts have struck down various sections of the law already codified that allowed exigent circumstances. Seems to me that the system is working just fine up here in Canada. And in this case, I don't expect the law to make it in it's current form. It'll hit the senate, and end up back in the house, where it'll probably die at the end of the season.
Oh noes! Not completely fucking over the next generations, because you're a dipshit, costs extra??? Who'd a thunk it? I mean, come on, who gives a flying fuck about the weather in 100 years, right? Who cares one shit about somebody 5 generations into the future when you can save a fucking dime per kW used? Nobody, that's who! Mod parent up --
A safe and secure world can't be built on human misery. In turn, it can't be built on human suffering. Cheap energy has been one of the greatest equalizers of modern civilization to let people improve their quality of life easily. But hey, never mind I'm sure you're also against nuclear power. As a fun and useful fact I live not all that far away from one of the largest nuclear generating stations in the world. I have no problems with it in my backyard, would you?
So there Cenan, why don't you explain to all of us why it's good that we turn our backs on cheap energy. And increase the cost of it, where it will do no good over all. As well, where these "green energy programs" cause more environmental damage than others. Especially when you calculate in the refining, production, and extraction of various materials.
Pst. So which is it? Weather or climate, I always like it when even the most fervent people screw that one up.
Oh don't worry, they "want" us to invest in expensive energy like solar and windmills. So you can go bankrupt trying to pay to refrigerate your food, or heat your house. I mean don't you want to be like Ontario(cdn), who will very soon have the most expensive electricity in North America? I mean we just got hit with a your electricity price will increase by 42% over the next 5 years. This is of course to cover the massive screw-over from FiT(Feed in Tariff) programs to pay for all of the green energy projects.
Depends on the countries methodology on "homicide" because in one country and another the methodology aren't the same. And organizations are sloppy at going through a year or even several years worth of data to adjust it. My personal favorite was always the suicide and sexual assault numbers. Europeans love to fudge the SA numbers by reclassifying the crimes, and Japan loves to fudge suicide incidents as "not suicide."
Ahahahahahah! I have an annotated 2010 Canadian Tax Act book weighing down my bookshelf that would beg to differ.
I'm guessing you've never had to file taxes in the US before have you? Canadian taxes are pretty straightforward compared to the US, or even most European countries.
Sure, mineral oil, cooking oil, fluorinert distilled water, bunch of other esoteric fluids. The real thing that it comes down to the heat transfer between the component and the fluid itself. And this newer stuff is apparently leaps above flurorinert, especially besides that it won't kill you quite so quickly and won't destroy the ozone layer quite so badly. You thought that freon was bad? Fluorinert makes freon look like a glass of water in terms of reactivity.
Actually that's the planned idea, that when "win9" rolls out that's the "eol" for 32bit. Much like with Win9x was the "eol" for 16bit, outside of specialized emulation. Whether a processor supports code execution is different from the OS supporting the execution of the code in a protected environment as you should know. Much like 8bit in a protected environment. And sadly, I have too much experience in making legacy 8-bit hardware and software work in modern machines. It's somewhere between, make it stop and this is the 9th level of hell.
And, in general 32 to 64 bit isn't "flipping a switch" unless you're enabling the handling of larger memory addresses. Which is something you should already know, not forgetting that in 64bit that you're usually doubling the size of your handlers in most cases. Not always but most of the time. Anyway, if you've been paying attention to what's been coming out of not only MS, but from the 'nix camp for the last several years the days of releasing 32bit OS's are pretty close to being dead in the water.
No I'm not misunderstanding. You're simply not paying attention to what's going on. There's a difference between an emulation layer, and native support. Currently we have multiple flavors of OS's with native support in either flavor, in a few years we're going to have a single flavor of OS support with an extreme drop off in support for x32. We're already seeing this in gaming with x32 binaries being thrown into the trashbin, and the entire codebase thrown and ditched. The most recent example in gaming of zero x32 support is Watch Dogs for the PC.
Yep. I'll skip Win8 altogether, I think, and wait for 9.
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll enjoy the bitching and moaning when Win9 is released since it's supposed to be x64 only. Just imagine the whining and crying... "Y U NO SUPPORT x32!!!1111ELEVENTYONE1111!!!" Oh I can see it now...good times, it's just going to be like the nuts who couldn't be bothered to build/buy a new $250 PC and move to Win7 away from XP, you know the ones who only use their PC's for email and browsing. And then cry about the EoL for XP...and the 4 year extension date they got. It *might* almost be as good as when we dumped the old 16-bit legacy code...maybe...might even be better.
I agree. I lived with Win8 for a month or so but just got so annoyed having to slide my mouse around just to close a window and having to fight just to get to the desktop. I gave it a good try, but then I just booted the whole thing and went back to Win7.
My question is, if you hated it as much as I did. Why didn't you just install a replacement shell? And I say that as someone who's been using Windows for 28 years.
I doubt he really cares. He doesn't want an outright war, he knows he would lose.
This is the thing about leaders of countries who "don't really care." They don't also care if they lose the war either, they also don't care about the people under them. They simply care about inflicting as much harm as possible against their enemies as they can even if everyone under them dies. This is why N.Korea has so much artillery pointed at Seoul. And in turn, this is why a country like Iran regularly spouts off on the "genocide" bit while perusing nuclear weapons.
But saying that Japan and N.Koreas relations have been improving, are like saying that the relations between Taiwan and China have been improving. If they're already at the bottom, there is no place to go but up. And the countries around N.Korea haven't forgotten the mass abductions from them where they'd sneak in and take scientists. Though their favorite was young girls and women. Preferably in the ages of 12-18 to use as concubines and sex slaves.
Uh, yeah, there's a big difference between people of a group reclaiming a word, and other people using the word to shit on them.
Since neither word was either a positive, not sure why someone would want to reclaim it in the first place. Then again, this is the same way that it's a-okay for blacks to call whites cracka...with no ramification. Of course I can carry on with examples, but I'm sure you can draw plenty from your own mind.
Is there room for this behavior in a world where saying the "N" word, calling gay people words beginning with "F", etc. isn't socially acceptable?
Sure, if you belong to either one of those groups then it's perfectly a-okay to use those terms. Not only that, but it's encouraged and in some cases glorified.
They count in Canada as well. Last time time I flew(dec last year), they deboarded the plane when I was in Calgary, and went through reboarding because there were more people on, than went though the entry kiosk.
You are aware just how many companies would suffer from that? There are jobs at stake, to hell with the planet!
Funny, I thought that the environmentalists would be the ones throwing a hissy fit over it. After all, in the US you import the majority of your wood from Canada...because of insane EPA regulations, while here in Canada we have a good policy of select harvest, select clear cutting, and replanting policies.
You mean like how the right wingers boycotts TV/radio shows/movies and threaten sponsors when something is done that they don't like? What's good for the goose and all that jazz.
Want to really compare the numbers between the right wingers and left wingers on the issue? You'll find that the numbers are skewed left wing very quickly. You'll also find very quickly that government running as a handler for groups in the last 5 years with the help of organizations such as OFA and MM to boycott things has reached a fevered pitch. Toss in the "if you don't support it, you're a racist" I'm sure we can agree that it's all the same right?
Never mind either that we still haven't gotten to the bottom to the GP's post about the IRS directly targeting conservative groups. And that Lerner's probably going to end up in prison over it to protect whatever political master she's serving higher up in the chain. 5th not applying in her case.
Absolute 100% bullshit. We're supposed to be "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Such a country would rather have freedom than safety. There is no such dichotomy, but if there were, I would choose freedom every single time.
And how is that price of freedom paid? I'll wait for your answer, which will most likely never come.

In other news, Germany is now scrambling to cap "renewable energy costs" before it becomes so expensive that no-one can afford it. A link to BCF just incase you don't have a sub to WSJ's paywalled article.

HUH? Kill you? Flourinert is just what it means, it's inert!
There's plenty of inert things that will kill you in a painful manner.
Sure, mineral oil, cooking oil, fluorinert distilled water, bunch of other esoteric fluids. The real thing that it comes down to the heat transfer between the component and the fluid itself.
