Another convenient feature: a built-in air compressor can be plugged in to refill the tanks within minutes.
Imagine that. Power up a compressor for just a few minutes to keep going on a full tank! Presumably a full tank lasts more than a few minutes of propulsion.
RMS doesn't think documentation should have the same freedoms as software anyway. Witness non-removable unmodifiable manifestos in software manuals, as well as incompatible licenses between a manual and the work it describes.
Mod parent funny! Had I been drinking, it would be a mess all over the screen.

Vim 7 Released

· Score: 1
This was touted as a reason to use vi when I was in grad school nearly 20 years ago. And some some people are still suffering with vi on the off-chance that someday they will be sitting at a "terminal logged into a mainframe" that doesn't have Emacs. Except that you can install whatever you want on your own Linux computer now, as you could for the last 14 years or so.
Ah well.

Not that I use vim or would ever want to (I use and code for Emacs), but Debian has had it in experimental for some time:
Aside from audiophiles, few people really care about the technical quality of the playback medium
More than that, most audiophiles believe that an audiophile-quality CD player (say $1500 and up) plays CDs better than most SACD players. And I haven't even mention vinyl records.
It would indeed be a mistake to suggest an unstable release to end user as a polished product. But you'd be the one making the mistake rather than the developers who wrote it and labelled it as unstable. Suggest it to your friends when it reaches 2.0.
Your graph omits the fact that current CO2 level are at 380 ppm and those past peaks never rose above 290 ppm or so. With a projected level of 450 ppm or so within 50 years, you make the point nicely: CO2 levels have never been higher.
As for the ice inhibiting the absorption of CO2, you have missied the point of global ocean circulation redistributing heat from the equator toward the pole (and to northen Europe).
As for your language, well, I won't go there. The guy is most certainly not an idiot nor a wacko.
The problem is getting the CO2 uptake down to the sea bottom. A iron enrichment experiment was done recently. Search for the SOLAS SERIES experiment in the Pacific Ocean. They succeeded in enhancing phytoplankton growth, but AFAIK the production didn't sink to the bottom.
I still don't buy that this will work though (and no I didn't RTFA). A lot of water vapor is present in the atmosphere, particularly over large bodies of... well, water. I'd think that if the atmosphere could support freezing more of it, it would be happening already.
Then you should read the article. The aim isn't to make plain sea-ice. It's to make salty sea-ice that will convect when melted (actually, what will convect is the mixture of its melt and the sea water poured on top of it to make it melt in the spring).
You don't need melting ice to stop deep convection. You simply need water that is too fresh to convect even if cooled to the freezing point. The point here is a method to make (dense) cold and salty waters that will convect.

I wonder if the person has modded me off-topic realised that one of the winners is a movie called 'Beowulf'!

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those!
Ok, lame. Still I was surprised it wasn't the first point.

How hard can it be to cut a wire or shot them out?
Any measure that is more expensive than its counter-measure doesn't work.
We have microbreweries too in Canada.
I'll agree with you on one point. I haven't drank a plain Molson or Labatt's in ages.

Do you really think Joe six-pack (or my Mom) knows anything about HDCP if the sales-people don't tell 'em?
Too bad nobody will read it with a score of 0.
I'm actually surprised its solar panels doesn't collect dust over time.
I guess the option package that had the wipers was just too expensive.

You're the troll in this case.

You forgot to close your italics tag. Where I come from, that's called a failure.
Perhaps they mean unstable like Debian means unstable: development release that changes often.
The only price that matters is the rental charge at the corner video place. I suppose that will go up a bit too.
I'm not buying those movies!

Can you please provide the full reference of the paper?
I'd like to read it.

The author stated that the barges would use windmills to make electricity, which in turn would fed electrical pumps to pump the water.
