Sometimes there is nothing to fix in GRUB, My last install was on an old machine and I had to install grub 4 or 5 times to finally get it burned into the boot sector. I think that sometimes the boot sector becomes unwritable while still being readable; when people start upgrading from WinXP to Vista we'll see the same thing, and
fdisk \mbr
will become a mantra at the help-desks and computer shops.
AHMEN Brother, I've done a lot of editing from GRUB and most of that pain and suffering was caused by the change from DevFS to Udev at least for me, I keep a working version of memu.1st stashed as menu.1st.works to save time after kernel updates.
Anybody that can't jump on a modern Linux distro running KDE and be productive, wouldn't be productive in windows either; there are a lot of "windows users" that shouldn't be allowed near a computer.
How could the IR absorbtion ever be saturated, thats impossible take a piece of glass and coat it with a few atoms of aluminum and you get a "one-way" mirror which can be used for lens for your sunglasses, but you can't see through a sheet of aluminum foil even considering that if you shine enough photons on it long enough eventually one or two will make it through; some where between the two extremes, the amount that gets through is insignificant compared to the amount reflected or absorbed. The argument isn't about if it's about how much. The CO2 absorbs very specific frequencies the percentage of energy at those frequencies reaching the ground is close to zero and which means more importantly that those frequencies radiated by the warm Earth to the cold outer-space and the enrgy able to be carried away at those frequencies is also close to zero right now.
There are lots of very good reason to transition to a low-carbon output renewable energy economy, I just don't see CO2 caused globalwarming as one of them.
What that means is that the absorbtion isn't linear, CO2 absorbs certain specific frequencies of infrared light, at low amounts of CO2 (or anything) the bands of absorption are very sharp, if 100 ppm of CO2 absorbs 90%, 300 ppm absorbs 95%, 1000 ppm CO2 absorbs 97%. On Venus the partial pressure if CO2 is around 1,197 PSI on Earth the partial pressure of CO2 is around 0.005,586 PSI, high pressure causes the sahrp bands to widen, look at the difference between a high-pressure sodium light and a low-pressure sodium light, the L-P Na light is almost monochromatic and creepy, the H-P Na light has a visibly broader spectrum. Koyoto limits the increases in CO2 added to the atmosphere, if man-made CO2 is destroying our environment we'd have to take CO2 out of the atmosphere.
Venus wouldn't be a good example of what man-made CO2 would do to a planet, the planet has really been through hell, it's been smashed hard enough that moons have broken off only to crash back into the planet, one may have actually reversed the planets spin. It's not hard to imagine such an event fracturing the planets tectonic plates and releasing vast amounts of carbon from the outer core, in a volcanic fire-storm that boiled the seas and sent columns of steam into the atmosphere where solar radiiation hydrolysed it into hydrogen and oxygen allowing the hydrogen to escape into space and the oxygen to fuel the carbon fires below. Now Venuses atmosphere is 90 times that of the Earth; we could never do that, at least never by accident.
his is by far the stupids(sic) (uneducatest(sic)/moronic/dull/dumb) comment I have ever seen... yet you didn't even attempt to refute it, all you would have had to do is link to a image like this or perhaps this well you could have if the graph from NASA actually didn't support the idea of saturation. Also a little critical thinking would show you that if I was correct, and the recent changes in CO2 (as in last few decades) have had little effect on the current warming trend, and the warming trend is in fact an effect of CO2 increases over the last few centuries, the the dribbles and dabs of the Koyoto treaty, which even the signatories aree only pretending to meet, will do as much godd as everybody sitting arround a campfire singing "KUMBYA"!
see what you get when an Australian newspaper reports about Canadians seeing an Ice shelf break using American satellites, a triple conversion whammy, imagine converting NASA spec football fields into Canadian football fields then into Australian football fields; It's a wonder anybody has landed anything on Mars!
That's only because there is more ice, in a volume of glacial ice, than there is in machine ice. If you took machine ice and compressed it in a hydraulic press a few times it would squeeze out the air and vapor bubbles you'd see little difference
the bitter comes from the membrane around the sections in citrus fruit, you can take a grapefruit sections, peel off the membrane from the sections and the remaining fruit is surprisingly sweet and not at all bitter. I often eat grapefruit that way, like most people eat oranges.
Not being a virologist, I'm not sure if this is applicable or not, but there is a minute chance that the M2 protein is the one that binds to the cellular receptor site that alow the influenza to be infective, so a change in M@ could be our salvation anyways.
Actually the more common reason for war is to bring your opponent back to the negotiating table in a more receptive mood. A nation has three sources of power, diplomatic, economic and military and they are best used in that order. The blowing stuff up part is pretty much a side effect, gratuitous destruction is self-defeating because sooner or later you're going to have to go back to negotiations with the country that you were negotiating with before the war that was caused by the breakdown of negotiations. The activity of killing your enemies or bombing him into the stone-age isn't war it's genocide, most mistakenly think the two are related.
I thought the whole Idea was this "trusted computing thingy" so you would have "SECURITY" and wouldn't have to worry about naughty things like viruses, worms, spyware and pirated media when we upgraded to Vista; which would make AV product superfluous.
This has been posted pretty much without change for at least years, I usualy counter it with a rant about saving a download to the WinXP desktop and trying to run as admin, but why bother, soon we'll be able to rag on Vista!
well ITEM 1: Gov't needs to buy bombs. Buys them with money collected from taxes. not all the money is from taxes, some is borrowed from people/institutions and are called bonds, now the "money" your talking about is called M1, cash and checkable deposits, the bonds are called M3, and both are money, just different kinds. When a statement about economics is made, the part that typically left out is the "Other things being equal" part. Increasing the money supply faster than the demand for the money makes it less valuable (the Money) that's called inflation; if jobs go up with the money supply, the workers will absorb the money, making it more valuable and thats called deflation, the real trick is to keep a balance like the scaffold the window washers use to clean a skyscraper's windows, one side can get a little out of level, but a lot out of levels and the whole thing can tip. ITE:6:. After the war, gov't buys new infrastructure to replace the old. after new add better, more efficient and longer-lived, after old add less-inefficient worn-out, short-lived ITEM 2, 7: add pay taxes.
But that's pretty much it, think of it this way, the school bus driver and the lunch-line ladies from high-school are in IRAQ, working for KBR and getting paid $80-100K, that's sure boosting their personal economies, and their newly hired "Wealth Management Consultants" is going to keep that money turning over in the economy.
you mean like since our schools are all ready supported by the second oldest profession, gambling, we should add the world's oldest prostitution to the mix?
Well don't forget all, or at least some the mad-money the was once the investor's shirts went somewhere, from what I understand the salvage equipment from the dotBomb is just now drying up; yet still it's good strategy to invest most of your money in rock-solid companies will proven and boring profit records, and to put a little bit in high risk whacko stuff that just might pay off instead of taking a vacation in Los Vegas.
youtube and google is actualy a good fit google lives and breathes bandwidth management, and youtube is wild and crazey bandwidth-hog so its kinda like a ying/yang thing with them.
I have to disagree with you about that, both sciences, social and hard suffer from the same basic thing, a lack of the ability for ordinary people to engage in critical thinking. let's look at the great depression, the money system was deflated, unemployment was about 25%, pump up the debt and use the extra money to put people to work, the results was it cause inflation, and fixed the money system and ended the depression; next come the '80s the money system is inflated 6-8% inflation, unemployment is about 12% and Carter does the good'ol spend up the debt thing and what happens, inflation goes from 6-8% to 12-14% ! Hello people it's really pretty easy, money needs to be inflated spend up the debt, money needs to be deflated spend down the debt, right now with inflation about 2% we should be at balanced budget.

at least two people got it.

TFA talked about climate change, not global warming
Perhaps it's that the absorption of IR due to CO2 concentration is nearly at saturation and has been for quite a while.
yeah like New Orleans
see what you get when an Australian newspaper reports about Canadians seeing an Ice shelf break using American satellites, a triple conversion whammy, imagine converting NASA spec football fields into Canadian football fields then into Australian football fields; It's a wonder anybody has landed anything on Mars!
is that -40 Fahrenheit or Celsius? LOL
That's only because there is more ice, in a volume of glacial ice, than there is in machine ice. If you took machine ice and compressed it in a hydraulic press a few times it would squeeze out the air and vapor bubbles you'd see little difference
