Have you never seen the 1-200 year old trees they harvest from the bottom of cold northern lakes?
All we have to do is sink the trees in the arctic - or hell even just stack them on antarctica - and problem solved. It's sequestered.
So - how much money does 1 ton of carbon (in tree form) cost to buy from the guys who are hacking down the amazon rainforests - if we include paying them to replant the cut down trees? Now how much more moeny to put those trees on ships and send them to the antarctic?
Other religions aren't attempting to do what Scientology does, nor do other religions place themselves above the law and/or subvert the fundamental principles our society is based upon - like Scientology does.
If Catholic judges chronically returned judgements that were 100% at odds with what any other judge would do in the same circumstances and at odds with what "the law" intends and says - you'd talk about them in the same way they are talking/worrying about "Co$ infiltration".
I've NEVER understood why people would put blind faith and trust in "any subsequent version of the GPL" by releasing their code under GPL 2 but allowing anyone who comes after them to "accept/use" any subsequent version of the GPL. So if the people who are in "control" of the GPL had an epiphany and made GPLv3 be identical to the BSD license - does that mean everyone could take GPLv2 code that has the "any subsequent vesrion" clause and turn it into "GPLv3 aka BSD"?
Intent in contracts is a big thing, isn't it? If the GPLv3 turns out to be more restrictive or violates the "intent" of the GPLv2 than the GPLv2 itself - I'd betcha that you could easily convince a judge that the "any subsequent version of the GPL" line in the terms could be totally at odds with the intent of ALL of the rest of GPLv2 - and thus that line be null and void.
Hey there's a question. Exactly what legal circumstances restricts who can and can't "author any subsequent version of the GPL"?
This is probably the wrong place to post this question. Maybe I should go trawling for groklaw archives or ask the question there.
You're the same idiot that'd be screaming bloody murder if they blew off a report about a suspicious device and a bomb exploded and killed some people.
Crap! Looking at the weather reports for Argentina while sitting here in Toronto during a blizzard, I was really really hoping there'd be a nice place or two in Argentina to take a 2 or 3 week vacation next Jan/Feb. (I really like the idea of sunshine from 5am till 8:30pm along with the warm/hot weather - as opposed to places closer to the equator where the sun still goes down at 6pm despite it being warm out. Nothing better than living in a place where the sun doesn't set until 9/9:30pm in the middle of summer.)
How the hell do you remanufacture a PN junction!!?
Do you actually know anything about solid state physics and silicon based microelectronics manufacturing?
Actually - if you do - please throw a link my way with the details. The only step I can see being "saved" on is the creation of the raw pure silicon in the first place, which I don't think would be all that big of a part of the job.
JHC. We have to fight this all over again every fucking 1-4 years. Each time we win we only win for 1-4 years, and then we have to fight all over again.
If they win once, just once, they've won. Period.
How the fuck is this considered democracy? How are we supposed to prevent a perpetual slow glide down into tyrrany if they can keep passing more new laws forever and ever?
Have you ever heard of a law being revoked or reversed?
There's a reason for this! They don't want to completely close the door to making an offer to you someday in the future, should various circumstsances change.
Have they tried public education? Bigass signs 1 and 2 miles out that say "the bridge is not narrower, it's an optical illusion, do not slow down for bridge".
Ummm, no. Their decision killed maybe 10-30,000 people directly. Let's say half of them being "the enemy" where "the enemy" are a bunch of murderers trying to sieze control of a country by force. Another 70,000+ innocent people were killed by these very same murderers in Iraq over the past 3 years. One *could* argue that they should have seen that coming and thus it *could* be argued that they bear some fraction of responsibility for those deaths. But the murderers in Iraq that did the actual killing are the ones mostly responsible, for their own deaths and for the innocents.
Sadaam personally oversaw the deaths of approximately 10,000 innocent people per year, every single year he was in power (approx 20 years). He was also 100% directly responsible for the Iran Iraq war which resulted in the deaths of 500,000 people.
So, let's recap. Bush et al, 10,000 to 30,000 (and half of them were fighting on the side of murders and Saddam, 3,000 willingly fought and died fighting for Bush against the murderers and Saddam, maybe slight culpability for the deaths of innocents killed by other murderers in Iraq since the invasion). Saddam - 700,000. All unjustified deaths. All 100% culpable.
Now let's re-visit your statement:
> wonder if Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld will one day be tried and sentenced to death, too. After all, they've killed 100x the people Saddam did.
Yes, a HUNDRED TIMES as many, thanks for filling us in Baghdad Bob.
Did you read the smokinggun copy of the filing/letter? The letter form AT&T which disclose to Mr. Perkins how they "misrepresented" themselves as him and got access to the information.
They possessed - his phone number, and the last four digits of his SSN. That's it. That's all you need to open an online web account to view someone's full entire phone records.
HAHAHAHAHahHAHAHaaaaaaaa, this is just as stupid as the Sweedish password.
Blame the bumblefuck companies that use your SSN as a "secret key".
Jeezus H Christ, that is the most retarded law I have ever heard of!!?!?! What the FUCK is it supposed to accomplish? All it does is shift who has a "loss" and totally remove any incentive for purchasers to make sure what they are purchasing is not stolen!!? Who the hell passed that law? There are some aspects of common law that statutory law just should not be allowed to screw with, and ownership of property is one of them.
What's the difference between data/information in a file, and data/information in my brain?
NOTHING.
I object to someone forcing me to reveal things from inside my head. That's identical afaiac to forcing me to testify against myself. I strenuously object to that on a fundamental level.
Okay, I'm not complaining that it's in flash, I'm complaining that it doesn't work. I see one image with a flashing "play" button in the lower right, I click on that and I get another single image. That's it. Nothing else.

Fuck Toronto and it's $500,000 1200sq foot shitty looking two story duplexes (so you get a 2500 sq foot house that's been split in half internally by a wall, with your half spread over two stories - and you pay $500,000 CDN ($400,000 USD) for it.
That's in my built up central neighbourhood where I rent a bachelor for $1100 per month.
There are of course $200,000 houses out in the burbs. But then you have to commute 2-3 hours a day. Stupid burbs, all they have are houses. If the jobs were actually out there too it'd be okay. And the burbs don't have the density for high speed transit. So drive drive drive drive!
In nice neighbourhoods in the city it's $1,000,000 for a nice big house. You can get the same house for $200,000-$350,000 in a "big city" (quarter mil people) in Saskatchewan. My GOD my cousin has a GORGEOUS modern new house in Regina, huge 30 foot ceiling in the main living room with wall to wall and floor to ceiling windows looking North into their backyard and the parkette behind their house. Here that house would cost $1,500,000, there it was probably $400,000.
Very true. I'm originally from a town not far away. 10 years ago my grandparents died and we inherited their house. Built turn of the century with bricks (beautiful old thing), living room addition, beautiful huge yard with hedges and lawns (plural) and flower gardens (I mean 30 x 30 foot flower garden with paths and everything, another set of flower beds surrounding a path circling the house behind hedges), 2 sheds, 2 stories, 4 bedrooms, ancient beautiful hardwood floor dining room (not huge). Lot must have been 100 x 100 feet or larger. My Grandmother spent a huge amount of her time just gardening and keeping the yard up.
It was on the market for 2 years. We were happy to finally unload it for $3000 CDN. Yes, I said $3000. And we were glad to get a buyer.
Thing about small towns is their populations are decreasing, so there are a ton of houses of various ages and sizes that are selling for $2000-$15,000. In fact every single year the town siezes and demolishes a couple houses that were abandoned for 5-15 years (and were in bad shape for 10 years before that) and had taxes owing.
I know retiring farmers who moved to town and bought an empty 100 foot lot (costs like $50) and build $200,000 houses (small town with plumbers and builders working for $20 CDN per hour or less - so these are nice f'ing houses), and these people buy the two old decrepid houses on either side of their lot for a few thou each and demolish them, just so they don't have to look at eyesores when they look out their windows. Seriously, brand new house, two empty lots on either side of them.**
Fuck Toronto and it's $500,000 1200sq foot shitty looking two story duplexes (so you get a 2500 sq foot house that's been split in half internally by a wall, with your half spread over two stories - and you pay $500,000 CDN ($400,000 USD) for it.
I'm retiring to Saskatchewan*, and I'll be doing it 15 years earlier than I otherwise would be able to afford.
(*) or maybe some similar small town in Alberta or BC (if I can find something similar there, might not be, what with the mountains and oil and all).
(**) Don't get the impression that it's a town full of decrepid houses. Most are well kept by owners. But here and there sprinkled throught town are ones for sale or held for rental (a lot of them empty, used to be a good idea). My hometown has had fully paved/curbed roads for nigh 20 years now, beautiful place. Not a single unpaved road in it.
But skype takes audio from my OS and transmits it. My OS gets it from the hardware - which may in fact just be a VM. What's to prevent me and whomever I'm talking to from running a small utility that encryts the audio before it's given to the OS from my VM? What if this utility was widely distributed and everyone used it.
You gotta love "the dumb network" (or what's it called, end to end*). They can't stop us.
Yeah, that's the point though. Quicktime in ages past has been a horrific POS that siezes control of all your media preferences without asking you, and a TON of us refuse to ever use it again. Fuck quicktime.
Youtube and Google Video *just work*, and there are a ton of open standards based formats or containers it could have been put in that would *just work*, but oooh no, we need this one specific proprietary plugin.
Let me say this again. Fuck quicktime. And fuck them for choosing it.
Look at all the immediate links too google video and youtube. Somebody's definitely not paying attention to their audience. Not playing by their own rules. (sounds just like a lot of the criticism of the contest itself...)

Two seconds!!??? Where I'm from the roads are flat and long and straight and the speed limit is 60mph, and we're taught a three (3) second rule!
Of course where I'm from there are so few people it's actually achievable.
Have they tried public education? Bigass signs 1 and 2 miles out that say "the bridge is not narrower, it's an optical illusion, do not slow down for bridge".
I love how you two have no problem what-so-ever with the idea of never having tried at all to prevent out and out genocide.
a) Keep troops there to prevent mass murder.
b) Pull out immediately so "we have nothing to do" with the mass murder and total genocide that takes place.
For some reason you think b is the best option of all in the world? You have no problem with it. Because "our troops" aren't involved.
Why?

The land beneath his house is worth no more than $50. That's what a lot in a small prarie town will cost you.
