The coal they're interested in is not for energy (tho that's an extra benefit that the waste energy is used for) it's for steel smelting. High carbon coal as clean as it is in the US to make really high quality steel is pretty difficult to come by otherwise they'd be just digging up their own. So IMO it's the same thing.
US: Can I get some sweet sweet rare earth metals over here? China: No you cant have our natural resources. China: Give us your sweet sweet COAL!!!!!!! US: Here ya go!
Open markets are amusing. They'll deal with anyone including the ones who won't share their toys.
And "all that exported coal could erase fully half the gains" Sex panther, 60% of the time it works EVERY time.
The Core2 iMac doesn't have firmware for the recovery AFAIK. If there was a firmware update that let it and all they had to do was show me how to get into it then f*k me and f*k them.
Luckily the internet came to my rescue with a torrent of the 10.8 install image. No more monies for Apple.
I'm totally not going to do it again. 68k to PPC was a disaster, applications that didn't need to be just PPC were just PPC. Everyone who had a recent 68k at the time was boned very quickly. If it wasn't for CodeWarrior (I loved the sh*t out of that back in the day) that transition would have been even more disastrous. PPC to x86 Apple just turned around and spit in everyone's [existing ppc userbase] face. They promised more updates that they never delivered and the patches they pushed out just made the platform slower and slower. My PowerBook would run like greased lightning with a clean OS install, HD videos and the works. Let MacOS update it self and it suddenly grew 10 years older with a few patches. I did try formatting it and starting from scratch but it ended up with the exact same behavior.
I'm not going through another architecture migration because Apple just doesn't care about their existing user base, they already have their money.
My current iMac x86 doesn't have firmware to reinstall the OS, so after the HDD failed I found I was totally screwed. The Apple store I visited told me I would have to purchase apple care to reinstall MacOS since it's now physical media free (I already had a new drive in it). After this attempt to bend me over, I'm not taking another slap to the face.
The demo video they showed looks like it's entirely quick time events. Which means as pretty as this game may be, it'll be complete garbage.
Quick time events ruin everything they're put in and make the game suck. I cant think of any example where they actually add anything but frustration. You can't pay attention to the action that they trigger because you have to focus on hitting the combination it throws up on the screen.
AND Then we all have to start using http://slashdot.slashdot./ I guess this gives these orgs the ability to have (using their examples) http://www.pepsi/ (I had to fight SO hard not to add.com to the end of that) But what difference would that be than saying http://pepsi.com/ rather than www.pepsi.com... Like how slashdot currently does it... I admit it would be fun to tell someone to go to http://slashdot.slashdot/ Or the ellipsis edition, http://slashdotdot.slashdot/
Obviously they need to lock an IT jockey in each server *CAGE* and they will be responsible for those racks 24/7. Food should be brought them in pellet form and water dispensed from a large water bottle that requires it be licked to release it's Dihydrogen oxide goodness. Replace the floors with screens so they don't need to install any sanitary facilities other than like a garden hose to hose it down every once and a while. Even make it into an attraction and charge fees to tourists to view.
IT jockey's arent people are they? If so this idea is wrong. Now if they were treated with some dignity at least then that's different. Also if you get paid for every hour you're on site or compensated accordingly then I probably wouldn't complain about making piles of money
I voiced my complaint to my local representative and got back a form letter that said basically everyone who read the legislation is wrong and C-11 is nothing but puppy dogs and unicorns.
So if I'm a presidential candidate, any search for my last name should go to me? That's fucking ridiculous. The internet is a big place that includes THE WORLD, I could see there being a problem if Rick Santorum was the ONLY Santorum on the planet though this is not the case. Because someone has a last name doesn't mean they are entitled to the top results. That wouldn't even work.

This is ridiculously old technology. Just about every other mobile browser does this now other than maybe IE on Windows phones and Safari on IOS. BlackBerry's have been doing this since 2005, as someone else mentioned Opera has had it since 2009, Bolt Browser has this feature as well. So I am to believe that a browser technology that's been around for 6 years is redefining browsers now? Way to grab on to an old feature and herald it as something new and ground breaking.
What 8:11pm what timezone? Does SkyNet only take over one timezone at a time? What if it had a DST bug and never goes off in some timezones like iPhones?
So it's pulling a TLC? Moving from educational shows to Say Yes to the Dress, Cake Boss and the most objectionable show in TV history: Toddlers and Tiaras. There's almost nothing left for them to keep their name, it should be rebranded to fit the crap they show.
I'm pretty sure your reading comprehension and math sucks, not so much with my statement.
"by the year 2000" would be less than 2000 so yes it could be 1999 or 1940, and since I at no point said 2009 or 2010 then I'm entirely lost where you got "last year" from.
Perhaps Linux will be ready for the desktop when we have flying cars?
I was promised flying cars by the year 2000. We have received no flying cars and I don't believe we're any closer to them as we were when they were originally imagined. The same promise is made of Linux every year I'm sure it's in the same boat(car).
The bulk of the USA's titanium during the cold war came from Russia. They bought it through fake companies and then used it on the very spy planes that they used to spy on them. I always rather enjoyed that little bit of information.
I know JohnnyGuru went over there and he's a stand up guy. That doesn't necessarily mean the rest of the place isn't full of clowns. I have a BFG 680i LT SLI board and it's possibly the shoddiest designed board on the planet. There's not enough shielding built into it so if I play a very resource intensive game the PCIE bus desyncs and causes a hardware failure BSOD. Even any game that uses the graphics card even a little can cause it to BSOD if there's a source of electronic noise near by. On the 3rd RMA I basically got all new hardware to put onto the new board, I even got a new PSU (using the JohnnyGuru forums for help, which was great) and a nice new UPS and it didn't help. So here I am today, with a box built for gaming that cant.
I like the targeted ads that are a little too dumb, like you get targeted ads for the company you work for. It's like they say "Hey! We see you work for this company, would you be interested in buying products from that company!?"
The ones at Engadet are pretty bad, surf from like an apple store you get ads for apple products. Or you get ads trying to sell you internet access from your provider.
More roundabouts and less traffic lights. Roundabouts are way more efficient for traffic than stop signs and lights, though they do have the disadvantage of retards on the road failing to navigate them properly. We have one out side of our office and it's like the gong show during rush hour. The rest of the day the thing works really well except for the odd moron driving the wrong way or stopping for no reason at all.

Old iMac is old.
I couldn't find the 10.5 system CD's anywhere.

Yea, sucks to be them. Mine was first.
Will it be a weighted companion core? I suppose it is, it's a lighter core than the others. They totally need to put a heart on the diagrams for it.
A Portal reference had to be made.
How's Facebook's stock handling this? The quake was just north north east of FarmVille. Productivity everywhere just increased.
