No, actually, that's correct. Rather, it's EXCESS CO2 that acidfifies the oceans. Excess is that which cannot be absorbed by the normal oceanic cycles responsible for maintaining these affairs.
US? If there's a way to monitor the cops you can bet your sweet bippy thatit's only going to be the cops that have access to it. Utter hubris to think otherwise.
.. But a butt ugly wheel hub. I can't see what's so special about it.. other hubs integrate with smartphones too, these days. Same as the Copenhagen wheel, all of the others also deliver more power on uphill runs (at least all of the newer ones). Many offer regen braking, and make a nice substitute for calipers in the rain. And they're not garish red either. Sorry. Not impressed. The concept is great though. I ride an electric myself, but don't bother with the "assist" feature. Too old;-)
If the Pope is (according to the Catholic Church) the infallible representative of God on this earth, then logically now, how can two popes say two different things? Two contradictory statements cannot both be correct,.....
THey're both right. There is no conflict.THe church's position has long been supportive of the slow evolution of the universe and *some* of the basic tenets of Darwinism, simply because any idiot can see that it is true. When Benedict spoke of "not taking Darwinism too far", he was referring to the *overapplication* of it.. the misuse of the whole "survival of the fittest" concept, especially in areas that it has no validity - such as applied by Hitler etc... Humanity, it can be argued, has entirely sidestepped evolution the very minute we developed self-aware intelligence. The very act of cooking food sidesteps it, for instance. The Church's position is that man only became a self conscious entity wben we became a "living soul". There is no reason to asume that the body didn't already exist in a more prehistoric form before that point, wherein the basic temnets of evolutionary adaptation still applied.
I think your proposal is solid. That is precisely why it won't happen. Not, at least, until we have another occupy movement that is persistent enough to avoid being dissipated by the federal police.
The sociopaths that control our government do not respond to appeals to justice. They don't give a rat's ass about fairness or even sustainability. The *only* language to which they respond is force.
Until we force them to do what is reasonable, they will not. And mustering that force requires mustering agreement among hundreds of millions of complacent Americans.
Good luck with THAT!
That's precisely how it is in CAnada, at least here in B.C. Disabled persons get a monthly stipend of $900 here, but we are not prevented from working , if we can find an employer that will hire us. Most will not, repeatedly citing the "unable to afford another employee.. business is poor" line. However, they will pay the maximum we are allowed to earn ($500) for which we work,often, full time. So , essenttially, they are subsidised by the government $900, and we earn a maximum of #1400.00, in a province where rent and utilities for one person can easily reach a mimnimum of $800. and the extra costs involved in working such as car insurance and gas equal $200 Per Mo. Sounds like a subsidy , to me...
This isn't about Non-OEM components, but counterfeit ones, gettiong bricked.After all, if you buy a phone and don't ask for any kind of warranty, it's your own fault. They're obviously using the consumers to build up a wall of complaints, knowing that consumers can (or should be able to) always ask for their money back.. And if the phonees are part of a package, the telecom company will be anxious to replace them quickly, to avoid the bad press of using counterfeit components. I do wonder how many of these Chinese made phones will show up with counterfeit chips in them!
Problem with ice in beer, is that cubes melt. Not a problem for the first few, but if, like me, you teend to slow down after the first few pints, and can still tell the difference between stale and good beer at that point, the cubes definitely don't add to the bouquet after they melt;-)
"Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses? If they'd rather die than go to those places then let them and decrease the surplus population" (par). When these words were first written it was to demonstrate the most evil example of humanity. Never in Dicken's wildest imagination could he heave anticipated this would become UN official policy (aka agenda 21)
Well, that's it seems like witrh overcrowding in the ones being still used. That's so the neocons can point to it and say crime is at an all time high, as well. I bet there isn't a single US conservative that knows, or even believes , if you showed them the figures, that crime has dropped significantly.
Bu.. Bu.. But.. what about the hospital shareholders.and reduced third quarter profits? Can't have all that wastefully expensive training and preparation costs! We've only *just* discovered it's cheaper to shoot patients than give them antibiotics, although our legal dep't advised against it;-( Now we've got these terribly expensive safety procedures because of ebola! Can't we just send them to, say, Canada and.. kind of.. "hush it up"? I just bought a nice 400 acre Golf course & racing horse stable on Florida and don't want to suddenly have to "economize"..
I have to type my password 100+ times a day. I can touch-type, but one typo usually means I have to delete it all and start over.
It's really hard to get Ctl+Alt+A wrong.
Try doing that in an SSH login shell. Or in a textual DBMS management console. Or in a general CLI tool that expects a password. Try it in a computer game that uses its own home-brewn dialog boxes.Or, do it in a text box that does not echo out characters, hiding the length of the password. Or password boxes that disable highlighting entirely.
Now do it, while knowing that you get locked out for 15 minutes when you enter the password wrong once or twice.
There are many situations in which the only way to recover safely from a typo in a password entry field is to hit backspace a few times.
And this is why I hate really complex passes. You're right there's way too many inaccessible dialog boxes. The worst though are the ones that fill the entire screen while you need to enter the PW. Unless you've got it written down on paper, and, it's typed (or you have really legible handwriting;-) you're SOL...
Snowden is a whistleblower. He deserves our thanks, and an apology from everyone who's demanded that he be prosecuted.
I agree, but now he's gone too far. The crimes were spying on the American people without warrants. But this sort of interception of information is exactly what the NSA is supposed to do. There has never been any secret about that, and I support it as useful intelligence. If Snowden keeps this up, he's going to alienate his supporters, or at the very least give a lot of ammo to his detractors.
The original thread poster had it right. By placing a death sentence on him for treason instead of pardoning him, he's gonna just keep on keepin' on. And if , as seems likely, they promise to pardon him and then execute him instead, tons more "whistleblowers" are gonna come out ofd the woodwork. It'll be a never ending problem. Corrupt governments can never control their citizens.
Lately Obama has been making Bush seem tame in regardless to trampling Americans' rights (the NSA spying on Americans, Obamacare forcing people to buy healthcare, including coverage they don't need, etc.)
I don't know where the Nobel prize lost it's integrity, but both it and the Nobel Peace prize have become a joke. They're not worth the paper the certificate is printed on, anymore.
Who is "they" ?.. And incidentally, the submitter appears to have changed the post title at the last minute. In the list of previous posts it lists this submission as "Submission: Carl Sagan Smoked Cannabis"!
I think the west's saturday morning cartoons were simply a make-work program for the sound effects crew. Boy were they noisy. You KNEW it was saturday morning lomng before you smelled the french toast because of the road runner and sylvester and elmer fudd episode crashes and explosions etc. And yeah, OK, I'm a little older than GenX, but that's what I remember;-)
I am always amazed that anyone wouyld use a testbed version as their main OS. NAturally it's on a seperate partition, and only use it in ordser to allow improvements to be made, KNOWING that the data is being collected. So, no, of COURSE you wouldn't do your banking, or torrent all your movies and pxxn, or use something like a darknet, or.. the list is endless. Because it's a BETA..doh?
Actually, I remember the original promise of the internet, or better yet, of the WWW, wherein vast amounts of quality information would be accessible to raise the general I.Q. of the masses. Alas, it does seem that much of the "vast storehouse" resides behind a brick "paywall", leaving the easily accessible info more about twerks than quarks...
When's the last time anyone ever saw an FBI or CIA, DHS, y'know, whatever, recieve a conviction for perjury? Ever? Even once? MAybe in political witchunts, yeah, like say, Ollie North, who was just acting under orders anyways, and I don't think he got convicted of perjury anyway,Sadly, it's just all the higher ups who were involved that shoulda got it but didn't. Lower level agents, though, routinely seem to be able to perjure themselves with impunity in order to obtain a conviction. Just ask any one of a thousand prisoners that got put behind bars up with "cooked up" testimony. Sad.
Am I the first to say that this story , well.stinks?;-) Incidentally, I've had anosmia for 30 years. Not dead. Yet. Or, I couldn't have made a/. comment. Assuming, that is, that making a comment here requires some form of life in the first place.
I mean, WTF?This is ane of the nastiest pieces opf malware I've seen in a while, and since all the macs are almost guaranteed to be unprotectyed, it's a problem. And why absolutely no mention of a cure> ALl the article says is the"botnet is currently dormant" Cold comfort for us Mac users. I havbe my firewall up and running, and run ClamXav because I pick up the latest TV episodes as I have no TV (I've got free Cable TV tho.. go figure). I always scan everything And all I ever get is some ancient HYML-CVE on a curry recipe I copy/pasted 5 years ago, that keeps showing up, but is entirely innocuous anyways.
CAnb any program detect it.. Apparently it's a Java trojan
"Unfortunately, the researchers didn't mention how the malware spreads, but they shared that it is unpacked into the/Library/Application Support/JavaW directory, poses as the application com.JavaW, and sets itself to autostart."
and
"UPDATE, 3 October, 15:00 PM CET According to Dr. Web researchers, the malware's propagation method is unknown. They received the sample from VirusTotal, and the code does not contain any indication that it's self-replicating.
The botnet is currently dormant, as all the Reddit comments containing the C&C servers' IP addresses have been deleted."

How long before they rewrite more reddit commands? And how to wipe it out wouldfd be, er, helpful, too...:-(

All are gone now. Awallowed up by that big beast Google. AOLand Geocities too, although they're perfectly preserved in the wayback machine. A directory is sometimes much easier to work with.. for me..and, re this directory, isn't there an application that can copy the entire directory and pages, with correctly resolved links and all? I know there used to be, for Apple OSX (or maybe it was an OS9xx classic app). If anyone knows please comment here.
