You are right, it shouldn't be a problem. However chrome hogs an unbearable amount of memory on my linux system.
The good news is that when (not if, when) individual tabs crash, either due to html5 sound/video support being shit on linux or my own abuse of the chrome javascript debugger (it still crashes less than firebug)... you can almost always end the single tab's process and continue on without crashing the entire browser. (almost... it still occasionally leaves dead visual artifacts on the screen or hogs up enough memory/cpu to bring a rather powerful multicore machine to its knees)
I can only imagine how horrifyingly bad developing javascript would be on windows. Perhaps chrome's multithreading works fine there, but I don't expect to ever have to find out by doing development on windows.
"If... you were Holder and Obama, what sort of deal would you try to strike with everybody's favorite secrets-leaker?"
I'd offer him pardon on almost everything, leaving only a trivial (1-2 months) jail sentence left over. Then I'd have him murdered while he was in prison.
If I were Obama, this is what i would have done with Holder. He is the real traitor here.
The workhorse of many of the USAF is probably the C-17 or the C-130, considering how cargo transport and logistics is the lifeblood of any military. Plans were attempted to replace both, and nothing came of them, either.
As far as strike craft go, the USAF still wants to convert solely to precision bombing. Sending fighter aircraft like the F-35 in with a single bomb, instead of a B-52 with dozens of them, or the constant blacksheep of the airforce, the A-10 with its old-school up and close gun or a drone that costs a tenth as much. All of these options would do a strike mission better than the F-35. Fighter jocks still run the USAF, and they will get their fighter craft come hell or highwater.
I would love for us to reach a point where a single 500lb precision bomb can do the job of mass cluster bombing or raining down DU shells (which are highly toxic to anyone that breathes in the dust). It has been a dream of the USAF and more importantly the politicians since the 80's. I just don't think it is realistic. Sometimes you just need to send the ugly plane in to get the job done.
If solar cells become efficient enough, then the charge speed is infinite/continuous, and free after the purchase of the vehicle. Gas can't beat that, ever.
You are correct. But since all of those things are impossible, there is no point in discussing it. Hopefully electric vehicles will replace fossile fuel vehicles entirely, someday. But they are not going to be grid-independent.
Of course not (electric cars/solar power); it will be hemp oil!
Love the title of that video. "Hemp Biodeisel...No CO2 Emission", you don't say? Must be this new kind of diesel that somehow does not produce CO2. Maybe they could claim CO2 neutral, but I seriously doubt that as well.
Except that your made up scenario is impossible. There is no way a solar paneled vehicle is ever going to be self powered, unless it is one of those ultralight experimental things that weigh less than their passenger. Every vehicle is eventually going to need an external power supply to refill it.
If you decide to build a solar farm powerful enough to power your home an d vehicle... well, guess who owns the companies that build those? The power plants will make even more money off of your inefficient home power plant than they would simply selling you power. And there just will not be enough people with the resources, desire, or paranoia to cut themselves off from the grid to ever harm their bottom line. Why would they care?
There is a difference between "knowing what is going on", and "a couple of guy's desk conversation or conference call makes it impossible for me to think."
This is a fantastic idea. Picket in front of random people's houses, demanding we return to the gold standard. It will be at least as effective as Occupy.
Agree completely. This is being helped along by the erosion of the true middle class. Now it is the "Poor" vs. "So poor they can't cannot even afford to eat."
Both categories suck to be in, and both are hard to climb out of. People that deny class warfare are simply ignorant of the situation, willfully or otherwise.
I can see how that could sound confusing. I meant that to mean that the propaganda wing of the republican party would want to block organizations that are doing real research like NOAA.
Back in 2000 (when anyone still used AOL) a lot of us were appalled that with the child filter on AOL would allow access to the Republican party site, the NRA, the big booze manufacturers, the American Nazi Party, all the US military web sites, and a bunch of other far-right web sites, but blocked access to the Democratic party site, Al Gore's web site, MADD, NOAA(?), and pretty much every left-leaning news site. A lot of us cared about the false positives then, and access through the child filter went up and down depending on the volume of complaints until the election was over.
The free market already fixed this problem, if you don't like your provider, you're free to chose another. That's what makes capitalism and America great.

There are actually 7+ year old PT Cruisers still on the road?
I am pretty sure Mr. Anonymous Coward was here pretty early on.
The good news for him is that PayPal and GoDaddy and Twitter now owe him a hell of a lot more than $50,000.

Dude, RMS has his issues, but comparing him to Richard Marx? Harsh.
Indeed. What an asshole.
How about a drone version of AC47 Puff the Magic Dragon or AC130 Spectre?

On the other hand, I feel that sperm donation is a bit icky
That is just he church saying that sperm donation with your hand is wrong.
You're missing the point of the article.

Lets say i relocate cross country.
Because people do that every day.

There is a difference between "knowing what is going on", and "a couple of guy's desk conversation or conference call makes it impossible for me to think."
With all the farting you have to deal with, I can see why.
Oh God! Not military hospitals! THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
Was military supposed to be distributed to mass and hospitals there? I think it was "miiltary institutions", "malls", and "hospitals".
Otherwise, what is a military mall?
This is a fantastic idea. Picket in front of random people's houses, demanding we return to the gold standard. It will be at least as effective as Occupy.
Same reason. Since the UK politicians can be voted out of office, they have even more reason to defend themselves.

NOAA -- Blocked due to climate change propaganda.
