But we already have an engine that doesn't use piston rings. And it's not like this idea hasn't been tried before either on reciprocating piston engines, usually with a whole series of problems. Mostly compression issues.
Peh. I live in Southern Ontario, every year we get parts of the province hammered by snowfall. Usually in traditional snowbelt areas, occasionally outside of snowbelt areas like London, where they got 18' over a two day period. Luckily it was windy enough that most of it only stuck around where the winds couldn't get to it. And of course we've had ice storms, and really bad ice storms. There's also the 4' snowfall back in the 80's the shut down the entire southern part of the province.
And cold weather? Yeah I'm under 40, and can remember it being even colder than they're predicting it to be. Hell, I was out in Alberta 3 weeks ago and it hit -52C with the windchill, and that isn't outside the norm for that area either...though the flappy headed AGW sure tried to make it so.
Sure, you'd best look at a map. After all it was impossible for Hannibal to march an entire army including war elephants through the Pyrenees then through the Alps right?
Cross-breeding is very different from shot-gun insertion of genes from entirely separate species. Go educate yourself.
Funny, I thought science was all about experimentation and finding out "how things worked" and much like I said above, can you tell me where said "entirely separate species" are spliced in and included in the food chain. Such as oh...let's go with jellyfish and potatoes?
Perhaps the only person that needs to go out and educate themselves is you.
I'd love to see the natural way that potatoes would breed with jellyfish to get the genes to glow when they need to be watered.
Right, and can you tell me where they're in the food chain, and where we consume them? I'll wait, I wouldn't want you to look like more of a ass then you've already made of yourself.
I have to ask, how much longer are you going to be alive? Going by your post, you don't eat anything. Not even common "green" varieties of foods which have been genetically modified by crossbreeding various strains to make them resistant or immune to particular types of fungi or insects.
Well then again I suppose you could be surviving on a diet of seaweed, and personally I do like seaweed and kelp flavored food...but to survive on it? Not sure if that's possible...
So what does it say about people who don't have a facebook profile? I'm guessing that we're scary dangerous people, who are terrorists and working to subvert the government./sarc
Actually might not be far from the truth these days in the minds of some flappy headed nutbags.
And you are a jackass for not using the onecall service to see if it is ok to dig.
In some places, not everyone has "onecall" or it's equivalent. Just as a helpful point, here in Ontario it only came into existence in the last year or two. Where in other parts of the country it's been out for a decade or so.
You're spot on with that, look around quickly and you'll find dozens if not hundreds of stories about fiber, water, sewer, and NG being cut because *insert company* laid it out differently than what was in the plans, then refused to update said plans, or even come out and mark. In my own backyard(southern ontario) we still run into things like wood sewer pipes, in use but unmarked. Plank roads with the cast belting retrofit anywhere between 8" to 4' under the road surface, and early 1930's cast iron water and sewer pipes that are still in use, but not documented.
It's funny, but the original articles as seen by wayback show them to be ecofreaks and climate scientists who were going to do global warming research. It was only after they got stuck that their story, and the media's story changed to "going off to check on the previous explorers route."
no, employment has gone up and up steadily throughout his term except for the first 9mo where the bush effects were still reverberating. look at a graph of employment under Obama vs employment under bush.
No employment has not gone up steadily throughout his term. That's why the average amount of time on unemployment is now between 32 and 40 weeks(a massive increase over the 20-27 weeks in '07). And paying attention to that number, note how the U6 number has continued to climb up under his presidency. That's the statistic that includes people who've given up looking for work, because they can't find work. Which makes it very easy to fudge the U3 number, and while we're doing this--note that the labor participation rate continues to fall through the floor like a brick.
it's the house of represnetatives that writes and passes a budget. Obama has never vetoed a budget.
Sure, and during the 2 years he controlled the house he never passed a budget either. Following with that, the democrats control the senate. So he's never actually had to veto anything, since the party whip simply makes sure it never gets past the senate. The house has passed several budgets however.
and so there's a subset of people who will forever behave as if the allegations were, in fact, true.
Doesn't matter, even if they'd won in court there's a whole subset of people including angry feminists who would say that Stardock bought the judges/court/etc. Simply because, any type of accusation as seen by one of the parent posters is enough to automatically assume guilt. And really, anyone with a brain already knows that no matter what, win or not any type of "sexual harassment" label will stick...because "women are never wrong" on that issue. Which of course goes back to angry feminists.
Windows 8 is still a piece of shit, and most people got it because their device came preinstalled with it... they didn't choose it.
Since the vast majority of complaints come down to "the UI sucks" I agree in that so far. The only real complaint I have about it, is the changes to the audio subsystem and drivers. Which breaks a couple of pieces of software(gamemaker pro), which is rather old. But easy to get around if you disable the audio device first, then re-enable it. And any software like that, but in terms of performance for games, it works fine with no slowdowns, in fact it works better in some cases. Where some games wouldn't work at all, or were crashtastic like Dungeon Keeper 2 and Fallout, without some serious screwing around.
Outside of that, Win8/8.1 is perfectly fine, in fact I'd say it's more stable than Win7 with better handling of drivers that misbehave and cause system instability. I'm sure someone will run along any time now and try whining about "but...secure boot" yeah, well I guess that's why I triple boot with 8, Debian and SteamOS and don't have any problems with them playing nice.
Haven't heard of any US agencies using Zersetzung yet.
No? You haven't been paying attention... Lots on this, the majority of the media on the other hand have simply ignored it especially the left leaning media.
Imagine the Gestapo with today's technology. It's coming.
Easy enough to imagine, just look at what the STASI accomplished without today's technology. While wholly disgusting, it's was a remarkable achievement.
Gestapo: Murder you and everyone you know. TSA: Threw some flutes in the garbage.
Oh those monsters....
Sure it does.
Gestapo: Detain, search and murder anyone who gets in the way, take artworks and musical instruments, including those considered heretical and destroy them as needed(or send them off to their betters for gain). TSA: Detain without warrant, search without warrant, take artworks, and musical instruments without remuneration, including those deemed heretical by letter agencies, and dispose of them, or "keep them" as witnessed by the reselling of said items.
And you forgot the STASI, who: Detained without warrant, searched without warrant, operated a vast intelligence agency that spied on everyone, and did several things already mentioned. Sounds almost like some of the letter agencies in the US doesn't it?
The difference between the three, is that the TSA doesn't have the "right to shoot someone" without due process. And I'd put that as a "yet" but you can see the trend in some of the flappy headed politicians, especially after the large scale anti-gun pushes. An armed population is a dangerous population to such ideas after all.
Why do we need to figure out how they work? The science is settled. And since it's settled we don't need to do anymore work.
As noted previously, denying this for anyone in this thread makes you a climate change denier. Especially for those that have pointed out in the past that: We don't know how clouds operate fully in the biosphere, how much of an impact the sun has, total and partial fluctuations of various gravity effects, cosmic ray's and their impacts, and so on.
Oddly I was going to say something similar. Right along with tossing in a Gestapo and STASI remark, since both of those governments organizations, did exactly this type of thing.
Thanks for at least attempting to clarify the term though it seems that Obama bashers simply will not be denied their opportunity to, well, bash.
Apparently pointing out facts, is bashing. Then again, if you get all of your news from sites like NBC who are the official Team Obama cheerleaders, I can see how you'd be confused.
Green power...where you pay Feed In Tariffs, at a rate of anywhere between 38c/kWh to 86c/kWh. And watch as your electricity rates climb through the roof so fast, you'll soon be making the decision as to whether or not you'll be paying rent, electricity, or food on the table. Last news article I saw on everyone's current favorite "green energy" country Germany, 1.3 million people can no longer afford the electricity rates. And here in my home province of Ontario, we're now looking at between 30% and 48% in an increase in our rates in the next 3 years.
Thanks environuts for slowing down the deployment of nuclear power. You're making the world a more terrible place, and increasing human misery and suffering.
And in today's world the majority of groups that are trying to ban materials and publications are left-leaning or liberal, and try to do so in the "name of diversity" or "political correctness." As much as some things change, plenty doesn't.

Don't worry, the pro-AGW crowd already has a monopoly on global warming causing everything.

Would that be, "before" or "after" that the BLS was caught fudging statistics at the behest of the whitehouse?
Right, we already know exactly what happened there.

Sadly, if you're Canadian or live in any country in the EU, or Japan, Russia, or Singapore, they can do exactly the same thing.
