THe ice age was actually created from alterations in the earth's orbit that occur about every 25k years or so. While various gasses can contribute it's the distance from the earth and it's orbital instability that really does the trick.
Ok maybe I am really not informed but is there a good way to actually take and make something distributed without nasty overhead? Like perhaps a library that could save a progress of the computation and then arbitrarily restart it? That would be nice. Also I take great technical scorn at the idea of a screen saver because modern monitors don't really need it as stationary images and text can't really ravage a monitor like they used to. Can these things work in a command mode like distributed.net clients and can they work on linux and possibly with source? Even further off track why isn't there any code for any of these distributed computing apps? I would like to do something that would really work withuot having to reinvent the wheel.
I believe there was a case of a person who had violated the sidition acts around WWI and the leading judge stated that there is such thing as what is termed speech that can incite anger. Further it is comparable to yelling "fire" in a crowded cinema. It just isn't protected. Since this was a hostile protest scene and has similar properties this would apply.
You just have to be 40 or 41 and be born within this country and it works if you actually try. Oh that's right you would rather smoke pot and call everyone a sellout to "the man". I am not a drone because I work within the frame the system sets up. See all the hippies of the 60 and 70s got it together and figured oput that siting ther and doign nothing wasn't really going to work at all. That's right they actually figured out that trying to become part of the system and then change it from within was the best idea. I take it from the tone your posts have been made in that you identify at least somewheat with the hippie ideas. The hippies didn't vote for Nixon I actually did bother to look at the stats. In fact what Nixon personally credited to his personal success was a group called the "silent majority" who elected him who was (guess who you'll never guess) *NOT* the *hippies*. Do you even vote anymore? I don't think you do. If you don't stop whining and vote in the national elections for someone hell if you're elegible for running you can under federal law do a write in for yourself or your friend Jill or Bob or whatever.
Don't people get the hint. Usually pushers do dress shabbily and hand out in slums that's where the customers and besides would you really buy smack from a well dressed (and potentially an undercover cop) person? Secondly people have noticed this little thing called for more light discussion a "craving" wheather or not it is an "additction" or seperate from it that's another matter. Why do you think drug dealers work so well if it weren't for the addictive properties of the drugs they sell? Theoretically someone could say yeah this shit is ruining my life, threatening my safety and my freedom if I get caught and making me broke I think I will stop now. That can't happen as easily because the stuff is addictive and have power psychotropic properties. But I guess all those friends I hd who lost everything for these "non-addictive" "non-harmful" drugs are just idiots right? begin sarcasm: yeah thanks for clearing that up:end scarcasm
Well looking at the avaible data is seems reasonable to assume that Iran was a better country than the up and comming Iraq. See at the time Iran and Iraq were having a bit of a problem getting along. And well the leader of Iraq (gee who was he now? maybe Saddam) wasn't exactly a nice guy. Plus if you have American hostages you need to extracate them quickly beore they can be tortured for vital data about US plans. So you either send in the troops and get them out or your bribe people to get them out and thereby kill two birds with one stone Saddam and the hostages from Iranian control
I did study about the period that you describe. Yeah people did crummy things but that dosn't mean people have to actually buy addictive things do they? It's a choice and it's one that the chinese made that they shouldn't have made. Also it happened quite a white ago and really dosn't have any logical bearing on contemporary politics.
You see rail transportation works with European countries because almost everyone lives in a small area and the population is very dense. Contrast this with the united states where people live all over and such systems (take the Los Angeles system for starters) don't really go where you need. So basically it's either cars or spend sever hundred trillion dollars to get subway systems to every Mayberry town in the US.
Really most people ignore the obvious problems with thinking that protesting will work at all. Righteous igdignation only goes sso far and you have to take *intelligent* action. Protesting is not an intelligent action. I remember all sorts of protests against the government. One such protest was against the Fair housing act. Some people in Chicago rioted and basically started a civil war in Illinois and caused an active army devision to be taken out of service in Vietnam. Even after it was all over the law stood and the protestors were found and later tried as individuals in rebellion against the state and tried for trason. So perhaps the laws should be *changed* instead of rebelled against.
Really. It's a political convention. If you don't like what they do then get elected yourself and stop thinking that rioting will change anything. Guess how people like Nixon and Daley got elected in the first place. Yes that's right they got elected because of stupid hippies trying to encite riots. People want security from anarchy and crime and so they elect people who promise them that. But I mean really besides looking like an idiot do you really think you can change a damn thing? Do you even hold a law degree? Even lawyers have a slight chance to change something unless you are a lawyer, politican, or a lobbiest you don't stand a chance.
Look how can a man who really isn't in political office actually arrange beatings for anyone? Oh and just to clear things up did anyone watch the Newshour with Jim Lehrer? It was quite clear from the evidence that protesters were trying to beat the shit out of policemen. THat is fealony assult with intent to kill. Most of these guys didn't give a rats ass just about trying to kill cops. Want to blame someone blame the mayor and the police comissioner not the person who is running for president.
One of the reasons that I like living in the USA is because it isn't so damn expensive like most of Europe. Really do you want *even more* of you pay check disapearing from your wallet? Do you want to have to subsidize almost every lazy 2 bit beer guzzling person in the US because they just don't want to work?
It's really interesting that you say people are going hungry in this country because there is ample opportunity to get a job. It may not be glamorous and interesting with fringe benefits but you still get one. We have the lowest unemployment in years and people are bitching about not having enough? Feeding people is only a stopgap measure and you know it. Eventually you have to feed them again. Teach them skills that allow them to get food on their own and they will fair quite well. Not all republicans are rich white people. How do I know this? Well ever heard of a guy called Ronald Reagan well he really did a number of things to help average people. So my family and I voted for him then. Democrats in the last 20 years have shitted up this country and made it feeble. We lost Vietnam because of democratic incompetence. Kennedy was a democrat and almost started WWIII because he was seen as a wimp to the Russians.
Then of course it's "Ohh please help me..." and you start to hide right? Ever wonder why Great Britain lost so much of it's power? Ever since WWI they steadly lost various territorial posessions (well earlier if you count the Americas) and that war sapped them. THen they decided to basically eliminate the military's effectiveness with cuts and funding various social programs. Look at it now. Say China decided to invade there? Well that battle would be over in about 5 minutes at max.
Let me state this fine point. People who do actual budgeting and cost analysis for various programs that the government runs are people who have actual degrees in Economics and usually are on Senate or house subcomittees and the like. Or better yet work for the GAO (General Accounting Office) and make a difference. If most of the people in the US were making budget decisions we would be broke in about 3 months if even that long a time.
Really why does some hippie political protest have anything and I mean anything to do with technology or any social aspect of technology? Could someone fill me in? Also you do realize that you are paying into the social security trust fund that will eventually in some way add to your retirement right? That is to prevent individuals engagint in stock speculation and the like.
Well one point against you is that the internet is not a passive medium like TV is (and no HDTV dosn't appear to have changed this). Also you have to realize that things like this have been tried (remember WebTV?). People who are going to want internet access want to have all the benefits that come with internet access. If I want to have my own say email program and not the one that the company wants me to have what do I do? What if I wand to to digital videwo editing in my spare time? What about playing games that are a little more complex than mario or donkeykong 64? Modern PCs beat most things into the ground. What about the person who wants to play games do differential equations, chemical modeling, write a paper for his history class, type a memo, and do all this in an afternoon on one box? That's right it just dosn't work. I have seen what people do when they want to screw others. Take a look at the next generation of various calculators that I was pricing just today from hewlett packard. They are adding wizbang features that havn't decreased in price or preformance at all. So what happens? Well the price keeps rising and never sinking. That is just crap. Also the history of industry in the US would tent to eliminate this idea as well. Consider the concept of interchangeable parts that can do the job wheather they are from one group manufacturing them or 700. Those parts have traditionally fit together and worked nicely. That is what people want. Also planned obscelescence(sp) isn't exactly what people want to deal with when they have say 5-10 different machines that cost over $100 USD. That's why the PC was created to prevent fractioning of the world and get people do handle things like a swiss army knife.
A computer is supposed to be a multipurpose device not a specific one. Anytime a group of people start trying to subdivide the tasks a computer can/cannot do it is fairly frightening. Grasp this: suppose they get rid of the component for internet access to a cheap machine that would leave consoles to rule the game market and the cost of the "PC" would skyrocket because everyone would buy some crappy computer. Software distribution is a better goal for the internet as well as information gathering and storage. Personal communications and the like the subsidiary goals that were added on to the internet as we now see it.

Is there any?

With the way you are suggesting that people act I must ask if you have been arrested scores of times or perhaps are currently in jail?

Just martch your army across Europe and take it piece by piece and then you can get entrenched there.
Add to that developments in stealth technology in the last 15 or so years and you get something that is possible and non detectible
