It's also the reason government regulation on markets is a good idea dude, because if market forces can't moderate themselves in the sort term for long-term success then markets will fail in the long term. If we allow ourselves to be strictly driven by market forces then we will fail.
Even guilty are assault weapons and raid style tactics necessary for the initial confrontation of someone just being accused of simple possession of such things? Also it isn't a crime to be a pornographer.
Yes child pornography is wrong and shameful, but in the end it is an arrangement of pixels on a screen. It is the abuse of the child in making the pictures that is the problem. It is a matter that should be taken seriously, but all too often it is just taken with fear and revulsion, which is not the same as, nor a substitute for, seriousness.
Ok how much did oil cost 20 years ago? How much does it cost today? How about compare how much it cost 100 years ago compared to today?
Either way look at the trend-line it is getting more expensive. You are seeing a massive amount of new demand coming from India and China and other countries. Why do you think it is cheap or that it will stay at or below the current price?
There are also other advantages to new energy sources than simple cost. Availability for one. Solar you can get anywhere you have access to the sun. Why shouldn't we work to improve existing energy sources? How do you know, even if you are right about the cost of oil that a breakthrough won't come?
Yes it is unlikely that any particular study will lead to a breakthrough, but what is known is that the country that leads with the breakthroughs will be the dominant country. Basic science is not something that is funded privately but is what allows for new breakthroughs to occur. It is vital for our competitiveness.
Yes there is a good reason why gas can't be cheap.
It is a limited finite resource and there is a large and growing demand for it on the planet.
It is something that will increase in cost and has greater value for chemical manufacturing. Why are we squandering such a resource on fuel? Why are we burning it and wasting it? Why do so many people think it is such a good idea to go through our own reserve supplies first and then depend on the rest of the world for our supply?
Drill here, drill now is just a good recipe to destroy American sovereignty.
No. The fact that humans are having a direct influence on climate change, and the trend globally will be that the planet will warm up is setteled and probably will not change.
The exact effects locally, how fast it will occur and other details are still up for change.
Please try to keep the conversation civil by the way. There is no call for the use of names or insults. Global warming really isn't a conspiracy. Yes it really is based on a vast amount of good scientific evidence and good people are working on the problem. It isn't about taking away your right to drive a big car or to make everything like the EU or to bring about some one world government.
The fact is that mankind genuinely faces a greater and greater risk of being wiped out as time goes on. This risk comes from a variety of sources. Many of which we cannot change directly, others we can. Global warming is one that we have evidence that we can.
In fact the ability for science to change is one of the most basic requirements for something to be science. Scientific fact is ALWAYS based on the data and knowledge we have available at the time and can change if new data and knowledge come available.
Just because the exact nature of the theory and its associated hypothesis have changed doesn't mean that the basic theory itself has necessarily been invalidated.
An example would be Newton's laws with the introduction of Relativity and Quantum physics. Both contradict Newtonian physics in many places, but we still use and teach Newtonian. Why? Because Newtonian principals are still valid, they just have to be modified in light of new discoveries.
My problem with matlab (as a former physics major at NCSU) was that through our classes they never took the time to actually teach us the basics of how to work with the program itself. Things were given here and there on how to do a particular problem but often much was assumed to be self-explanatory or that we'd learned it in a previous class.
If you are going to use such programs (and they are powerful tools with benefits often warrant their use) it really is a good idea to take some time to acquaint students with the syntax and logic behind how the program works in general and not just for particular problems.
Matlab seemed to be a continual source of headaches and problems, many of which it seemed even the grad-student math/engineering/physics major TA's couldn't figure out. Of course this was the better part of a decade ago, 2000-2003 (I switched majors to English), so things might have changed drastically since then.
Still such complex tools require a bit of dedicated instruction time.
Scratch that. I wish US citizens would think of their nation more as a Republic and less as a Capitalist support system. The old days had some horrible things to em as well.
I yearn for the days when the US was supposed to be a republican society. Government's role was to help its citizens be able to secure life, liberty and their pursuit of happiness. The latter was originally pursuit of property but the founders realized the danger there. I wish the present was as clear and fully minded.
Note: "republican" meaning based upon a republic model and not necessarily on the ideals of a certain political party.
All things in moderation, property and moderation included.
not really. You don't have to have an international effort. The TLD servers really are controlled from the US. Yes some would slip around but more likely the ones that actually are worth while and do a service, such as education, or provide a community for people of differing sexuality will not.

Gentoo will compile on GURPS and vice versa,.
Apparently you think the stone age was more efficient than the modern.
The mouse is still the most efficient pointing device for day to day use.
Yes but still do they come to every door with a SWAT team?
There is taking precautions against the occasional nutjob and there is bringing in a whole SWAT team.
They come to a lot of doors every day w/o the SWAT team.

You don't see this as a problem?
Yes today we are better off for it but what about tomorrow?
Or do you want all your business and endeavors to fail after the short term?

Fuel is cheap?

Yeah fox news is coming in from the future. Problem is that it is the future of a completely different universe.
That's what any cloud is really.
If you can't see its boundries and design (in other words you're the customer using the cluster) it is a cloud.
If you know how everything goes together and where the servers are it's a cluster.

Depending on the field you wouldn't be refusing much.
Direct deposit is a fairly standard option and is even available to many small businesses.
Here's a fact you might or might not like.

I hate getting shots.
I still get them anyway.
I hate getting sick more than I hate getting the shot.
The people actually using those products often are not the people choosing those products for use.
I'm not a hardware person really. What are the advantages of using pins on the chip to pads on the chip?
Also if she where why couldn't IBM just get a stand-in PJ to accept the award?
Haven't the AM's moved to pads yet?
I hope they do with bulldozer. Makes things simpler.
The big question I see with this is just how clean does the water going in have to be?
Sunlight is free, but clean water is not.

As an American. NO the they in control do NOT know it.
