Perhaps you shouldn't be throwing things at other peoples vehicles. Might spook someone and cause an accident. I'd never hear a small pebble, you'd have to throw some pretty big pebbles, and that just makes it dangerous.
Way to be a great role model. Throwing things at other peoples vehicles, especially while in motion is JUST what I want your brats doing.
I called you a prick because of your attitude. Not because your facts are wrong. I just think you are a bit slow for that.
The 75% was pulled out of thin air, it could be any percentage that is different from what instrumentation is reading. Any difference at all throws your math out the window.
I am also going to do it again. Quit being a condescending prick. You will win friends and influence enemies if you tone down the condescension to something a normal person can tolerate. Also you should note that I made no accusations whatsoever. All I did was point out that to get accurate results you have to test, not extrapolate.
Well Einstein, what makes you think it would be linear?
You may be able to extrapolate some decent guesses, but the car aint outta fuel, till its outta fuel.
Maybe the gage was broken, and the car actually had 75% of the battery left. Maybe the car has a reserve that is not included in the readings. Maybe...
So what you are saying is that because the government is focusing more on wind then gas, that it is the governments fault that gas prices go up?
What if the government invested in neither, would rising gas prices continue to be the government's fault? Unless the government is actively involved in raising the cost of gas prices (via taxes or something) I fail to see how this can be blamed on the government, or more distantly wind generation.
No time to give your articles a better read, but the one concerning Wind does not seem to mention gas, and the same is true vise-versa. Again I will have to read more later no time now.
If you have one I would prefer something showing the direct connection rather then the very tenuous connection that I can see.
You are blaming wind power for rising Natural Gas costs in the UK?
Have you actually put any thought into this, or are you just trying to see what will stick? Let's assume you have. Would you mind connecting the dots for me in how MORE wind power = Higher Natural Gas costs. It seems to me that as more people use electric for heat, that it would reduce the demand for natural gas, and in turn LOWER the costs for the gas.
That IS how supply and demand works correct? Are you telling me that a free market does not work, and that the costs will rise regardless of demands? Thanks!
Go buy a 5 dollar screw driver set from Ace hardware or something. You can usually find a set in the clearance bins.
I have no pity for people who complain about not having the right tool, when that tool is ridiculously cheap. If you cannot find a cheap screwdriver set then you have not looked very hard.
I've used it, and it sucked. Did not want, Do not want, Will not want. Will always recommend against. I used that monstrosity for two weeks, trying to give it a chance. It is nothing more then the bastard offspring of a desktop and tablet oses, and it does neither well, particularly on a non touch screen.
The fact that I have to use third party tools to get it to act like what my customers want is one of my main problems. My customers DO NOT WANT what is not familiar. It is a conservative group that I work with. Heck changing as much as it did from XP to 7 really threw them off.
Considering that there is no technological reason why they did not include a gp to allow enabling the actual start button, and disabling Metro means Microsoft did not value the fact that I have customers that do not want it to change. They did not value MY opinion and I am the one who has to deal with their users. I am steering all of my clients to use Windows 7, and many of them have purchased extra licenses for future use.
You may handwave my arguments away if you like, that does not make you correct, insightful, or even the slightest bit intelligent. It just means you fail to see things from others point of views.
I use the start button all the frigging time. I have to talk my customers through some simple steps before I can connect and the start button is one of thsoe first steps. It is one of those things where I can say click the start button and 99% of the people are going to know what I want. I ask them to hit Windows+R on the keyboard and it is a ten minute ordeal getting them to do that.

Goodwill has a place rebuilding computers here in Nebraska. Goodwill computer center or some such.
Opensuse is number 6 in the top hits on distrowatch. It beats out CentOS handily.

FWIU Congress forced the postal service to fund the pensions, so they could raid the pensions.
Keep the Irrational hate to the political discussions please.
You are blaming this on Obama?
Raspberry Pi for premium customers, Arduino for the others.
It would be an apt description for both.

Pollution leaking into a river will inevitable cross property lines. It is also pollution in the drinking water. Thus affects everyone.
I may agree with you on some things, but I have to say I do not agree with you concerning the pollution. It is one thing if it was a mistake, but you could even see the blood in the river from google maps:

That is well beyond any sort of innocent error. I am all for punishing people that seriously violate environmental laws.
No, it is to stop things like this: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2012/12/26/columbia-packing-owner-indicted-for-pig-blood-pollution/ All to protect corporations.
Not true. This is what they are trying to prevent. Oh look this took place in Texas as well. http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2012/12/26/columbia-packing-owner-indicted-for-pig-blood-pollution/

Some people ARE talking about getting rid of the cats. They are ridiculous.
Comparing a Ferrari to Ubuntu is just one of the many fails in your post.
It is more like a Pinto with that unity junk.
Not necessarily true.

Except for the fact that the guy clearly wants Windows 7.
Seriously? This gets modded up too?
