NGOs are defined by the World Bank as "private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services, or undertake community development"
So yeah, it's pretty much trendy hippie bullshit by definition.
That's a myth. Clean agents displace about 5% of the air leaving oxygen concentrations just about what they were before the dump.
They work by disrupting the chemical process of fire, not by depleting oxygen. They are like an anti-catalyst.
You would eventually get a little lightheaded if you stayed in a room for too long after a clean agent dump, but you have a good 5-10 minutes to take your time to exit the area. Not that you want to stay in an area with a fire in the first place. The smoke is far more dangerous than the clean agent.
Postscript is a programming language, which, as it turns out, is a horrible way to implement a page description language. No one wants to have to deal with stack overflows and infinite loops in their documents.
I would say this was the primary motivation behind PDF.
Why don't you tell them the truth, you want a special law to protect you because you are in the top 0.0001% of traffic users because you constantly torrent porn and mp3s.
I bet they'll jump right on it then. Maybe you plan about lying and invoking vague issues of "freedom" is a better plan after all.
Java was designed to be "pure" and engineered from the ground up to fit some idealistic vision, rather than being a good language, kind of like Esperanto.
So now you have a semi-interpreted language where hello, world takes 150 megs of RAM, and the promise of being "write once-run anywhere" still hasn't been delivered on.
why, oh tell me why, when I write a simple - trivial - bit of Java code, do I need to write funtions for getters and setters all over the place - dammit, just declare them as gettable and settable - or (to keep full source code compatibility) the editor could do it. Simply,easily, tranparently. And why can't the editor hide everything except what I am concerned with?
It's not the editor's fault you are using a shit language.
Of course I realize that. But it's tilting at windmills to wish that there were no suckers in the world.
It's easier to catch the criminals than to get rid of (or educate) all the suckers. No matter how much you educate them, they'll keep thinking that "this one is different" or that they know better than everyone else.
Obesity only costs other people money because of collectivistic programs. Get rid of the collectivism and you get rid of the problem, and people are free to make their own choices.
Spam, on the other hand, is a criminal endeavor, a theft of resources. That's a completely different matter.
One is a symptom of freedom being incompatible with collectivism, the other is criminals taking what isn't theirs.
The people who support Net Neutrality usually have no fucking clue what it's about.
They often think it's going to give them some option other than their DSL or cable oligopoly.
They don't know what a "tier-1" carrier means. They don't know about settlement-free peering.
They have no idea what sort of consequences would happen to a tier-1 that decided to go rogue and start violating their transit-free agreements by doing content based blocking.
If they did, they wouldn't support this congressional power grab.
People need satellites in space. Geostationary is way up there. It's expensive to get to. As well, as some point, we'll need to start garbage collecting up there. Developing new propulsion technologies already has an ROI.
Getting rid of NASA and freeing up the engineering resources currently being diverted will actually get something accomplished in space exploration. The space shuttle was a massive waste, and so was the ISS.
Zipping around 150 miles up isn't "exploration" any more than "camping" in your own backyard is roughing it.
How often do you actually need to do this though, DHCP works, DNS works, etc...
Except when it doesn't. I've typed an IP address at least 10 times in the last week.
The shorthand notation of IPv6 helps a little, but the stupid plan to hand out trillions of them with each allocation ensures that we have to remember a good number of digits for each address.
If only there were some way to have some kind of "ownership" that wasn't connected to government, one that could make " long term investments" that weren't subject to political bullshit, and rather based on the long term benefits.
One day we'll invent this magical system of "getting things done outside of the government", but I guess until then, we'll be stuck with having the government run everything.

I don't think you understand what an NGO is:
NGOs are defined by the World Bank as "private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services, or undertake community development"
So yeah, it's pretty much trendy hippie bullshit by definition.
Because he totally needs false floors for his 2 or 3 servers at his 20 person company.
I guess you sell people shit they don't need for a living, right?

Since when is "farming shit out to some website" known as "the cloud"?
Talk about marketing bullshit.

I guess you are literally trolling.
The energy you save from helium lifting up is exactly the same amount of energy you need to spend to bring it back down to "reuse" it.
Not to mention, helium is really expensive. It takes about $100 of helium to lift 5 pounds (ballpark).
You'd do better just using specialized jet engines to take things up to 75,000 feet or so, even as inefficient as they are.
Wake me up when that starts to happen even a little bit.
So you want to lie to people?
Why don't you tell them the truth, you want a special law to protect you because you are in the top 0.0001% of traffic users because you constantly torrent porn and mp3s.

Right, so make each vote be multiplied by the number of dollars in taxes you paid last year.
Problem solved. No more looting.
Way to write one long ad hominem attack in response to something that wasn't even an ad hominem.
It's not an ad hominem to question a person or a website's credibility. Calling someone a "racist" and "tribalist", is, however.
Esperanto is an apt compaison.
Java was designed to be "pure" and engineered from the ground up to fit some idealistic vision, rather than being a good language, kind of like Esperanto.

Your two examples are completely different.
Obesity only costs other people money because of collectivistic programs. Get rid of the collectivism and you get rid of the problem, and people are free to make their own choices.

A web site doesn't have any particular latency requirements, other than 1 second or so.
Browsing the web on a geostationary satellite connection is OK. A phone call on one is pretty crappy.
This doesn't refute the original poster, but it's not as simple as you make out either.

Because liberals still are under the delusion that government has the ability to do good, despite decades of evidence to the contrary.

48 bits is 281 trillion. It would have been more than enough.
Judging by your sig, you seem to dislike practical solutions that don't meet your aesthetic standards.
They also tried to shut down the amateur pyrotechnics hobby by claiming that bulk chemicals were a "consumer product".
This agency should be eliminated entirely.
It's all thanks to IPv6 being designed to poorly that no one wants to deal with it.
If IPv6 were a reasonable upgrade, people would have already done it. No one wants to memorize or type 128 bit addresses.
Nothing is inevitable.
There's an unlimited number of IPv4 addresses out there.
Every organization has an entire class A to exploit: 10.0.0.0/8
