I used to work for those guys, and "not telling the customer what is going on" was the first hour of training. (As in, how to do it effectively without sounding like you are doing it.)
After the mystery rooms are gone, they may have a shred of credibility. But now? Uhm, no.
You're assuming that we can harvest all that energy - solar panels and windmills all over everything. What will happen with the widescale use of geothermal heating? How much will the earth's temperature decrease? Let's slow down all the wind and cool the earth. That sounds like a great way to save the environment!
Are you proposing that the solar panels are being used to power nuclear reactors that create matter?
If not, go back to Junior High and review your physics book because you probably cheated on that final test or you would have failed..
Put simply, the law of thermodynamics dictates that no matter what, there is waste energy, and no matter what, the energy you fark around with ends up as heat.
No 'ifs', no 'ands' and no 'buts'.
So what, you delay the generation of the heat for a few hours, and change the location where the heat output is. Differences that makes will be sight, the overall impact will be summarized accurately as "dick".
Shred some, get it hot while holding it in your hand (heat lamp works great for this), then work it into the crack with your fingers.
Use a soft cloth (dry facial tissue) to buff it just like RainX on a windshield. (Don't use RainX, it has volatile components that may damage plastic, try it on a junk disk from the same manufacturer first.)
That can make unplayable disks playable, and some with a few skips sound normal.
MOST of the time, the scratch is in the plastic and the problem is focus, not the aluminum or gold film with the data on it. If you hit the film, you can't repair.
And, if you mean "Clean up the Ice Age" as in "Wiped out all the megafauna on the continent" then sure.
When you red-skinned wanks get busy with the DNA reconstruction so I can see the Giant Ground Sloth in zoos I'll think about reparations. Until then, fuck off, you did the same shit only weren't bright enough to leverage resources. Clearly unfit to occupy such a nice continent is not a good way to go through life son.
"So record me any time you want to because I am to."
The fact that you didn't, means you fucking fail as a cop and a human being. What, you afraid two cameras are going to record completely different events? You are so blind to the cops vs people attitude you can't even see it when it's up in 10 point arial on the screen in front of you.
Fucking please. I hope some crackhead shoots you in the balls.
"Roland" is the submission whore that "blogs" (copies) stuff from all over, links to it, adds a simplistic comment then somehow gets that submitted to Slashdot.
He does it for ad revenue. Quite effective at it, and quite annoying for those great unwashed that don't suck Slashdot dick to get stories submitted.
At the risk of potentially defending the government (pause for the shocked intake of breath), I find it quite plausible that the government knows all of this, and is resisting this investigation because they do not look forward to explaining this to every jury unto the end of time.
I see that as having the exact opposite effect. Cock waving district attorney out to prove himself by perfecting this argument in court, all the while not really after justice but just more convictions no matter the truth.
There are several "layers" of causality that you have to get through from "population of random 100k people of certain race" to "locked in jail".
Asserting that the only causality is some sort of discrimination without also examining the other layers is just plain old intellectual dishonesty.
Being targeted or not, if you don't do the crime it's pretty hard to end up in jail. Overall society's expectations are pretty clear, even in the depths of whatever crap-ghetto culture you came from. Everybody knows if you do certain stuff you get busted despite peer pressure of "whitey keepin the black man down" every 4 year old knows "gun in pocket = jail". If they choose not to care, how the fuck is that society's fault?
The only bias I am inclined to have any sympathy about is the "didn't actually commit the crime and screwed anyway" bias against blacks.
It's really goddamn simple folks. Don't do the crime and chances are you won't go to jail DESPITE having a big target painted on your ass as far as the police are concerned.
If you don't actually HAVE the weed in your pocket, you have to encounter a corrupt cop. Not just a slightly racist one that might be just doing his job otherwise.
Which in turn, means if you have no seat belt on (or just end up with an arm out the window) you are MUCH more likely to die or get a severe limb-severing injury.
The station wagon disappeared in part due to tax breaks for large trucks being available for small business (read, anybody that can work up LLC paperwork), and because millage restrictions on cars did not also apply to "trucks".
Plus, the auto makers figured out they could make a bigger profit on the trucks.
So, car with reasonable engine is more expensive than an SUV "truck" with an unreasonably large engine... for the same space and hauling capacity.
A lot of market forces were at work to make the current situation like it is.
I am actually amazed it flipped so fast.
Next up; dumbasses stop racing up to the stop light and actually try other gas-saving measures.
Humans can't power much continuously. At full tilt on an efficient machine a PRO biker can light a 100 watt bulb. The average luser working out, not worth the bother.
All the equipment, moving parts, maintained, used to capture human power won't reach the point of break even on any of this stuff. (If you pay your maintenance guy at least.)
They'd be better off CLOSING the stinking gyms and making people work out outside and not DRIVE there than capturing that power.

You just need to get some gorillas to eat the ivy.
Come on mods, at least edit out the obvious time-cube crap from the summary before posting these.
Jesus fucking christ, Fark is more accurate than this crap.
If I wanted paranoid shit, I would go to church.
Dude. It's ALABAMA
You have about four other shithole hotter than snot backwards states to choose from. Move to one with an exception.
TITLE 10 > Subtitle A > PART I > CHAPTER 13 first appears in the US code in 1916.
As such, it has no bearing on what the framers meant to say by the word "militia".
Your lame attempt at "it's illegal now!" is ex post facto and therefore bullshit.
is whatever it is, that AT&T is lying about it.

It'll be efficient right up to the point where the air in the thing heats up enough to cause it to fail.
Convection relies on density differences and gravity (i.e. not freefall), in freefall density differences suck at causing air to move.
Better put a fan on it, or send several dozen of them for whatever task is needed.
Spot on to anybody that failed physics class three times, sure.
Here's a review for you reckless fuck-tards;
F = M * A
That's, force equals mass times acceleration. (The uninformed would call it "deceleration" in a collision.)
Mass stays equal in pretty much all scenarios so ignore that.
Remaining variable to look at force is acceleration.
So, acceleration, what's that?
That is change in velocity over time. The thing is, there's a nasty little exponential in there.
Acceleration from 50 to zero is one value, acceleration from 100 to zero is THE SQUARE of that value, couple that with fractions of a second...
Exponential growth of force, force that is use to rip shit up when you fuck-tards hit something while traveling at higher speed.
Which results in worse accidents for death and property damage.
Lower speeds in general reduce everybody's risk.
Period, end of story.
Go back to school moron.
My question would be if they were working a fire in a window unit on the second floor, what were they doing in the basement?
Checking the main breaker box for shorts / illegal wiring?
Turning off the power?
I buy all my hookers and blow locally.
Regular white candle wax works too.
Shred some, get it hot while holding it in your hand (heat lamp works great for this), then work it into the crack with your fingers.

Otherwise.... bittorrent.

"Cordite is a family of smokeless propellants developed and produced in the United Kingdom from 1889 to replace gunpowder as a military propellant."
^^ not to mention the brand name shares a name with a low explosive often found in artillery shells.
You forgot to add the last paragraph:
"So record me any time you want to because I am to."
The fact that you didn't, means you fucking fail as a cop and a human being. What, you afraid two cameras are going to record completely different events? You are so blind to the cops vs people attitude you can't even see it when it's up in 10 point arial on the screen in front of you.

There are DOZENS of certificate issuers that are not related to Verisign via ownership.
In other words. We need more Bill Cosbys.
