You have no fucking idea how (poorly) windows works do you?
80 percent of your "proof" above is descriptions of what the prosecutor was doing with the data.
It's a history list. And, not everything in on a history list has to be clicked on by the user to appear there. Likewise there are lots of conditions that can cause you to click on stuff you didn't intend, lots of ways to hide a "install" button and make it look like a "close" button.
"Smith" in the article is flat out fucking WRONG when he says "you have to click on them to get there", as are you.
Yes Libertarians are against government stepping in, and that's exactly what happens with net neutrality.
No, dumbfuck.
The government already bloody fucking stepped in. Or rather, they already bloody created the thing and the corporations horned in to make a buck.
What you want now is to allow corporations to ass-rape the monopolies they have to extort more money out of everybody.
The only way net neutrality goes against the ideals of libertarianism, would be if we were tear it all up by the roots first. Remove imminent domain, public domain, public funds and make the corps pay for every last inch of wire they have to re-lay to get a network working again (wouldn't be the Internet then). Oh, and make them deal with every little podunk municipality (to get their cut) and private owner (to get their cut), oh, and I want the telephone poles taken off my land or I want rent. BECAUSE THATS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TO CONTENT PROVIDERS, nickel and dime ass rape for more money. Until you are advocating that, net neutrality remains a valuable thing that upholds liberal and libertarian ideals, and protects everybody from racketeering thugs trying to get another yacht and BMW this year. While at the _same_ time, allows providers to make some money by, imagine this, being a fucking internet provider! (gasp!)
So this makes you a true dumbfuck. You have no concept of the surrounding facts and get all caught up in "more laws bad [grunt]" without thinking about it. You are exactly the type of person that gives libertarianism a bad name. You don't fucking think about why your point of view should be the way it is and don't really care if your view would hurt others. That's not libertarianism, that's fascism or corporatism. Exactly the same shit you are trying to avoid.
Likewise, your repeated definition of "what a liberal is" just absolutely screams "hey, I am a dumbass libertarian youngster punk and don't want to think anybody else has a better view, so I'll redefine a word to something it doesn't mean anymore so I can be in the winning side"
In some states it's illegal to drive drunk on private property. (Like being in your driveway.) For example, that Mythbusters episode on the subject of drunk vs. cell phone, the cops wouldn't let them drive on a private lot. In WI, you can get blasted, and drive around your back 40 all you want.
On the other hand, getting out of a bar, realizing you are too drunk, and sleeping it off in your own back seat in the bar parking lot will also get you arrested for driving drunk.
Those fucking MADD people have lost their way, and are actively pushing all these draconian laws. They want to ban any sort of alcohol completely, not just make the roads safer. Their original founder thinks they are whack now even....
The "health care industry" can be relied upon to act in self interest of each of it's parts, not the whole.
If Ford came up with a car that everybody wanted to buy (this is a thought experiment, so doesn't have to be anything short of pure fantasy) and it lasted four times as long so they could only sell a quarter of them. What do you think would happen? They call up Toyota and say "you know, we all make some money here we'll just shelve this".
No.
They go at it full blast and try to make as much money with what _they_ can do, to hell with every other segment of the industry.
So, the first research place to come up with a better cancer treatment and even if it is cheap overall, if they can patent it and make more money than they do now (keep in mind, they know other smart folks are working on the same problem, they gain NOTHING by keeping it secret) they'll do it.
You are stupidly assuming the paranoia about the big health care industry is correct. Big oil, big pharma, big lumber, whatever... they only act in concert because it's a mob rule where their self interest seems to make them do pretty much the same sorts of things. As soon as one can break out of that pattern and make more money, they'll do it. Or, perhaps some other company comes along with a "disruptive technology" and does it. Either way, the status quo is due to the issues involved, not due to collusion amongst the parts of the industry.
I wonder if anybody has done a "hunter gatherer" typical old person stuff analysis of fitness for the group.
For example, behavior of young males being aggressive, reckless, and willing to charge ahead to a fight, vs mature adults that tend to be conservative and stay with the group has a purpose. Young males are tougher and heal better and faster, and are also somewhat expendable.
Take the same concept and apply it to the oldsters. Eyesight problems keeps them close to home, rabid love for the grandchildren to the point of spoiling, erratic sleep patterns of waking up super early and sleeping when the youngsters are out running about... the exact opposite of them almost as if they were designed to sit around the fire doing small stuff and watching for hyenas when others sleep.
Yeah, well round here it means nothing of the sort.
It means "dick" or "a-hole" or "dill-hole".
A term you could use to describe someone who acts like a jerk, and still not get yelled at by the parents in the vicinity because it doesn't count as a swear word so much.
Anyway, I hear the N-word from the N-ers themselves all the time, especially amongst themselves so in that context it doesn't mean what you think it means. So forgive me for not giving a shit what anybody else says this or that particular word. My words mean exactly what I fucking intend them to mean, nothing more, nothing less.
You _peckerwoods_ that get upset about it (yea, I meant it that way that time, cuz I think anyone telling me what to say is a fucking fascist) can get fucked if you find offense at something I didn't intend. That's YOUR problem if some random ass word you make up for your crazy-beatnik-talk pisses you off when someone uses it in some other context.
Basically, CFLs are a good thing overall. And I agree that throwing it away is not an ideal solution.
Note however, that the infrastructure to care for them properly won't exist until there is a need. Municipalities just don't want to spend time sending a truck around (or whatever) for one bulb a month.
So, they don't do it, but yet don't want mercury in the landfill.
Consumers are left with the choice between:
a) throwing them away anyway (and putting mercury in a theoretically contained area of a landfill) b) putting them elsewhere for storage (where they might get broken anyway, and could eventually end up as option a.) c) recycle them at great cost to themselves (remember, the consumer is already trying to reduce cost) d) not use them in the first place
None of the above are really good choices.
Plus, as mentioned way up near the top of this discussion, using a CFL for it's expected lifetime AND THROWING IT AWAY IN A LANDFILL, still releases LESS MERCURY in total if you are in a coal-fired electric area. So if you want to argue "mercury in local landfill" verses "mercury missed by power plant scrubbers" then this is a worthwhile discussion.
So I find arguments like yours to be of the knee-jerk environmental whack-job variety, rather than one of sensible environmentalism that looks at the big picture. They just don't want that stuff in _their_ landfill because they don't want to have to bother engineering them correctly or spending the money to close the existing crappy one in favor of a new one. This is MNIMB (Municipal Not In My Budget) syndrome.
A very similar story happens with LCD monitors vs. CRT monitors. In my town, it costs $35 bucks a pop to turn CRTs in. TVs? Nothing. Computers, another $35, and god forbid you took parts out and now have them as separate parts. Old car stereo the Mexican down the street threw on your lawn? Nothing. Want to compare the power used by a CRT vs. LCD once? The power companies should be subsidizing LCD monitors instead of worrying about light bulbs.
Want to tell me why computer parts are fundamentally different from any other IC board containing part?
Want to tell me how the bloody hell you think that leaded glass wandering around randomly is going to leech into the groundwater (the lead is locked up in the glass) any differently if I keep them in my garage forever as opposed to a plastic and clay lined landfill? Especially since there is tons and tons of leaded glass in fancy glassware and other household applications that nobody ever worries about. Any pamphlets on recycling grandma's old wine glasses due to lead in them?
Until the whole system makes sense people are going to throw this stuff away.
Until the fee for dropping off a CRT monitor is _zero_ dollars (better yet it can be put on the curb) I will continue to hide them in the work dumpster or other random business (landfill) or leave them on the street for the local kids to "dispose of" (probably mashed somewhere).
So if you want to help, get to work advocating ways to deal with the stuff out there instead of bitching about "it's illegal" or "it hurts the environment". Guess what, it's there, it's in the house, and like many many other people I going to get rid of it in an environmentally safe way unless it's easy, cheap, and fast. Figure that the fuck out, or shut up.
Hehe, yeah my first thought was "those guys are lucky they are not dead".
Pumice is cool and floats because it's filled with gas (air, what came with the eruption).
Chances are, that gas is NOT something good for humans to breathe. Plus, it'll be pretty cool because it came up from the water in small bits, and as a result might hang around near the surface. (Sulfur gases are mostly heavier than air as I understand it.)
So, get into a situation where the craft could foul in a very unusual debris field or run aground on the brand new island, while breathing something that could kill you if you stay too long.
Nice knowing ya!
Given that, I probably would have gone in there too. And collected a bunch of rock for eBay.
Sure, if you totally neglect the fact that cows are an economical (someone can profit from them) way to make a marketable product already.
Taking wasted methane and making more profit from it and creating some extra energy capacity is not a bad idea. If it's economical for a farmer to do it and he can, what's the problem?
You'd prefer that the big industries solve this problem all at once? How do you think electricity got started, one giant company or lots of little ones doing lots of little things?
The energy problem is not going to get solved in one big swoop soon. Probably not ever that way. It will be little bits and parts just like every other industry.
- transport loaded firearm in vehicle while in reach of driver (trunk is OK, but not a good idea) - firing firearm from inside vehicle (unless operating under handicapped hunting license) - discharging firearm within 100 feet of a road - discharging firearm where road is crossed by bullet - hunting while after dark - shining deer with intent to hunt - baiting deer with intent to hunt - discharging firearm or unsafe hunting without being sure of what is behind target - unlawful taking of any game without specific license (yes, illegal to pick up roadkill without a permit. you can get them if you hit a deer and call the sheriff to come fill out some form you can take it home)
There's more.
The poachers were certainly doing some of the above, so fake deer or real deer or whatever they're still busted.
The fact that the thing is mechanical is the only new part. The DNR has been putting those out (other types of animals too) for _years_ and busting the dumbass hicks that fall for it.
Anybody running Exchange 2007 probably has new boxes to run it on, and has had a chance to review storage size needs and can therefore, most likely increase mailbox sizes.
If you are on that version, and still have 50 MB size limits it's to prevent abuse by people who arguably shouldn't NEED that much to do their jobs. Take a hard look at the stuff the users are storing there and the big drive space volume comes from jokes (bitmap format, 4 megs each), PowerPoint presentations of more jokes, and other crap. A lot of real work can be done on very little space if you stick with plain text and don't fool around.
In other words, if a mailbox size limit on Exchange 2007 server is for any other reason than to keep the pleebs from abusing the email system you built the damn thing wrong. As part of a company with about 25 employees, our older exchange server has 800 gigs of space. We don't pay attention to size limits _at_all_ because we don't want to have to get in the way of individual style of using email. (Plus the pointy-hairs are packrats)
Though, I would caution that after a bit the ability to search through and organize it degrades fast...
Anybody that thinks Gmail / Exchange are in realistic competition is stupid. (Microsoft) Those two services may sound similar when you compare "features", but in the real world they really are not competitors.
Fluffy the neighborhood kitty kills way more songbirds, exotic birds, rare land mammals, rare land reptiles than any wind tower every will yet there is no one bitching about that.
Radio antennae for Clearchannel do the same damn thing, nobody ever complains about them.... not to mention glass covered sky reflection having every goddamn downtown in every goddamn city on the planet kill more birds in a friggin day than all the wind towers in the world in a single day.
Yeah, because the coal plant these things prevent is SO CLEAN that it never harms any wildlife, in fact, they go there and roost in the smoke stacks to get clean fresh air and drinking water.
Let's tear all that stuff down too.
At least that bunk-ass article you linked to didn't use the same black and white picture of the same four birds that every other radical greenie rag uses to prosetylise the same lame issue....
You hypocritical fucktards will only be happy when everyone lives in a mud hut and dies by the age of thirty. Everything is a compromise. A few dead birds to feed the local worms won't make a big impact.
It's something you do as best you can in-between other stuff. (Preferably starting with the stuff you are working on already.)
Then, the next time you do that, just go back and open the document and update it as you go through.
In our small company, we use a scattering of web sites (SharePoint or FrontPage based), network folders, individual "not done yet" documents, and a (yick) Wiki. I would like for us to use "Public Folders" on our exchange server as it doesn't involve teaching staff members to do stuff they don't already know how to do. (Some folks are not technical enough to even handle a Wiki.)
You just keep at it, and over the years you get better stuff as a collective whole. Be sure to clean out the stuff that is no longer valid, (but maybe keep it archived).
EVERYBODY needs to be writing it. I figure for every full time difficult to learn job, there's about two full time documentation jobs. So don't worry if it doesn't ever get complete. It won't, and for the most part it doesn't HAVE TO.
Also, for everyone's sake, get a dual monitor setup so you can easily document while you work on the other screen. Since our staff got two or more monitors, documentation creation rates have skyrocketed.
Of course, if you are a regulated body or get audits, it's a really good idea to review all your requirements for that once in a while so you don't waste effort doing the documentation wrong.
The cell phone Kim was carrying pinged a tower after he left the car for the walk. There are lots of levels of cell phone operation and communication with a tower that is short of crystal clear conversation of a phone call. In the area he was in, the right bounce or whatever gave them enough info to know it's this box of whatever 100 square miles he's in.
Until then, they they were not looking in the right area and would not have seen the footprints in the first place.
Had he not moved when he did, his wife and children would probably be dead soon if not already.
Bad decisions were made to get him in the situation (in the dark, on a mountain road, wait 10 hours for light and go then), however once he was stuck, I think he made some pretty good choices and probably ended up saving his childrens' and wife's lives.
Try putting a couple hundred domains and 10k users on it and your threat surface for spammers goes up exponentially from a small server with a few domains and a couple hundred users.
Ours gets tens of thousands of bogus connection attempts from spammers per hour. How many are you getting? 50? That's not including the stuff that does get into the filters to be processed by the rules.
Until you have run a big box with lots of users on it, you have no freaking idea what we deal with on a daily basis. And it has gotten MUCH worse in the past 18 months.
then you need to do what it takes to put distance between him and yourself.
Yup. A few taps with a.44 and there's six feet of dirt between them and the rest of us.
Pretty simple really.
Your pacifist ideals don't measure up when anybody and everybody fucks with you on a daily basis, often with no particular reason and when it is easy not to.
Slower than the guy behind you with the faster car?
Are you seriously so goddamn arrogant you can't tell "slower" is a relative term that will always end up with assholes like you getting in conflict with other assholes? Are you so dumb not to see this? What is fast for you, will be slow for others. What is slow for you, will be fast for others. That's just how it is.
Yet here you are declaring slower (than you) are the problem.
Seig Heil Adolf Neo-Hitler of the Road! BOW (and move out of his way) Before Him.
Seriously.
Go. Fuck. Your. Mom. In. The. Ass. (i did)
You are the asshole here. Not the guy going slower than you want.
For one, he could be passing at a decent rate, just slower than YOU want him to.
He could be going fast just like you, too bad you want to go a bit faster! Who's right? Your rate of speed while breaking the law, or his rate of speed while he breaks the law.
He could have just moved over to let a truck merge (not all merge lanes are engineered correctly, in fact most are NOT). On a two lane divided highway, he's now in the left lane maybe going faster, maybe going slower, maybe going the same speed as the truck.
Dunno about your universe, but in mine, what I might hit is in front of me when travelling down the highway so I control where I go, how fast I go, and how far away from those in front I am. Anybody behind me can get fucked for all I care, what happens behind me is not in my control and therefore not my responsability to fix. It IS in your control so it IS your responsability to fix it. The dangerous situation is created by you, not by the guy in front of you.
You arrogant fuck assume there are never any good reasons to end up in the left "fast" lane, which is simply not true.
Along comes Adolf the self described breaker of telecommunication laws to set him straight! By god he will flash the aryan race high beams to get that slow person off of his lane.
Go fuck yourself. Have fun replacing my car with insurance money and getting dragged through court when I slam on the breaks in front of your ass do to the box of kittens running across the road.
Actually, you are taking energy out of the vortex of swirling air, and taking advantage of the turbulent air which can in some cases slide over your vehicle easier. By the time your vehicle gets to the equation, the truck is out of the equation.
Same reason airplanes want little sub-vortices on the top of the wing and disrupting it (like with ice) causes problems.
In my experience, the vortex that "pulls" is so far back from the truck at highway speeds (1 - 3 truck lengths) that there is no way you are causing harm to the truck efficiency.
Truckers don't like it if you are close because they can't see how close you are once you are out of mirror range. Not because you cost them fuel.
Your post is so full of factually incorrect bullshit it's almost funny.
I defy you to find anybody in TFA that says they broke the laws of physics.
Of friggin course they will be bound by the laws of physics. This thing isn't a Captain Kirk invention. It's a novel biochemical solution to what used to be a chemical physical method, doing the exact same goddamn thing, taking a hard to move energy source and trading some of it for portability of a gas or liquid.
There are well known compounds and methods for storing hydrogen that makes your storage point moot. Fuck, BMW has a working H-power car. You think they are using a long cyrogenic hose? My guess is, there's an H tank in there somewhere. People have been storing and moving hydrogen around for years. The only questions are is it affordable, feasable in a car and safe. Even if all the problems are not solvable by good simple engineering, compromise solutions that don't rely on the stuff sitting in the vehicle for a week unattended might be used.
So I suggest fuck off. Ride your bike if you want you fucking hippie. Some of us like goods and services transported in a shorter time than a month and intend to have another way of doing it once the oil runs out.
Dude, you are aware the Brits drew the lines arbitrarily, ignoring ethnic and cultural lines in the first place right? Which, in the long run, CAUSED the Iraq region to get screwed up in the first place...
Dividing it up, would make it closer to what it should have been since the Brits first started mucking around with other people's stuff.

How much energy did it take for the company to make your LED lights? Can you justify your energy savings knowing the initial cost to create them?
Are you suggesting the company that makes them is selling them at a loss due to the energy used to create them?
It's built into the price already. So one would assume that if the consumer finds them cheaper (cost + operating cost), they in fact are cheaper.
Basically, CFLs are a good thing overall. And I agree that throwing it away is not an ideal solution.

- baiting deer with intent to hunt
- discharging firearm or unsafe hunting without being sure of what is behind target
- unlawful taking of any game without specific license (yes, illegal to pick up roadkill without a permit. you can get them if you hit a deer and call the sheriff to come fill out some form you can take it home)
There's more.
The poachers were certainly doing some of the above, so fake deer or real deer or whatever they're still busted.
The fact that the thing is mechanical is the only new part. The DNR has been putting those out (other types of animals too) for _years_ and busting the dumbass hicks that fall for it.
It's even sort of dumber than that.
Anybody running Exchange 2007 probably has new boxes to run it on, and has had a chance to review storage size needs and can therefore, most likely increase mailbox sizes.
If you are on that version, and still have 50 MB size limits it's to prevent abuse by people who arguably shouldn't NEED that much to do their jobs. Take a hard look at the stuff the users are storing there and the big drive space volume comes from jokes (bitmap format, 4 megs each), PowerPoint presentations of more jokes, and other crap. A lot of real work can be done on very little space if you stick with plain text and don't fool around.
In other words, if a mailbox size limit on Exchange 2007 server is for any other reason than to keep the pleebs from abusing the email system you built the damn thing wrong. As part of a company with about 25 employees, our older exchange server has 800 gigs of space. We don't pay attention to size limits _at_all_ because we don't want to have to get in the way of individual style of using email. (Plus the pointy-hairs are packrats)
Though, I would caution that after a bit the ability to search through and organize it degrades fast...
Anybody that thinks Gmail / Exchange are in realistic competition is stupid. (Microsoft) Those two services may sound similar when you compare "features", but in the real world they really are not competitors.
Aw go fook yourself already.
Fluffy the neighborhood kitty kills way more songbirds, exotic birds, rare land mammals, rare land reptiles than any wind tower every will yet there is no one bitching about that.
Radio antennae for Clearchannel do the same damn thing, nobody ever complains about them.... not to mention glass covered sky reflection having every goddamn downtown in every goddamn city on the planet kill more birds in a friggin day than all the wind towers in the world in a single day.
Yeah, because the coal plant these things prevent is SO CLEAN that it never harms any wildlife, in fact, they go there and roost in the smoke stacks to get clean fresh air and drinking water.
Let's tear all that stuff down too.
At least that bunk-ass article you linked to didn't use the same black and white picture of the same four birds that every other radical greenie rag uses to prosetylise the same lame issue....
You hypocritical fucktards will only be happy when everyone lives in a mud hut and dies by the age of thirty. Everything is a compromise. A few dead birds to feed the local worms won't make a big impact.
They'll lose a laptop with the data on it soon enough.
They always do. The signal always gets through.
Documentation is not a project you finish.
It's something you do as best you can in-between other stuff. (Preferably starting with the stuff you are working on already.)
Then, the next time you do that, just go back and open the document and update it as you go through.
In our small company, we use a scattering of web sites (SharePoint or FrontPage based), network folders, individual "not done yet" documents, and a (yick) Wiki. I would like for us to use "Public Folders" on our exchange server as it doesn't involve teaching staff members to do stuff they don't already know how to do. (Some folks are not technical enough to even handle a Wiki.)
You just keep at it, and over the years you get better stuff as a collective whole. Be sure to clean out the stuff that is no longer valid, (but maybe keep it archived).
EVERYBODY needs to be writing it. I figure for every full time difficult to learn job, there's about two full time documentation jobs. So don't worry if it doesn't ever get complete. It won't, and for the most part it doesn't HAVE TO.
Also, for everyone's sake, get a dual monitor setup so you can easily document while you work on the other screen. Since our staff got two or more monitors, documentation creation rates have skyrocketed.
Of course, if you are a regulated body or get audits, it's a really good idea to review all your requirements for that once in a while so you don't waste effort doing the documentation wrong.
Not only did the footprints leave them in.....
The cell phone Kim was carrying pinged a tower after he left the car for the walk. There are lots of levels of cell phone operation and communication with a tower that is short of crystal clear conversation of a phone call. In the area he was in, the right bounce or whatever gave them enough info to know it's this box of whatever 100 square miles he's in.
Until then, they they were not looking in the right area and would not have seen the footprints in the first place.
Had he not moved when he did, his wife and children would probably be dead soon if not already.
Bad decisions were made to get him in the situation (in the dark, on a mountain road, wait 10 hours for light and go then), however once he was stuck, I think he made some pretty good choices and probably ended up saving his childrens' and wife's lives.
Too bad he didn't get to know that before dying.
Essentially true.
Though I wouldn't use the word "inept".
Try putting a couple hundred domains and 10k users on it and your threat surface for spammers goes up exponentially from a small server with a few domains and a couple hundred users.
Ours gets tens of thousands of bogus connection attempts from spammers per hour. How many are you getting? 50? That's not including the stuff that does get into the filters to be processed by the rules.
Until you have run a big box with lots of users on it, you have no freaking idea what we deal with on a daily basis. And it has gotten MUCH worse in the past 18 months.
then you need to do what it takes to put distance between him and yourself.
.44 and there's six feet of dirt between them and the rest of us.
Yup. A few taps with a
Pretty simple really.
Your pacifist ideals don't measure up when anybody and everybody fucks with you on a daily basis, often with no particular reason and when it is easy not to.
"Slow drivers in the fast lane are the problem"
Slower than what?
Slower than you?
Slower than the guy behind you with the faster car?
Are you seriously so goddamn arrogant you can't tell "slower" is a relative term that will always end up with assholes like you getting in conflict with other assholes? Are you so dumb not to see this? What is fast for you, will be slow for others. What is slow for you, will be fast for others. That's just how it is.
Yet here you are declaring slower (than you) are the problem.
Seig Heil Adolf Neo-Hitler of the Road! BOW (and move out of his way) Before Him.
Seriously.
Go. Fuck. Your. Mom. In. The. Ass. (i did)
You are the asshole here. Not the guy going slower than you want.
For one, he could be passing at a decent rate, just slower than YOU want him to.
He could be going fast just like you, too bad you want to go a bit faster! Who's right? Your rate of speed while breaking the law, or his rate of speed while he breaks the law.
He could have just moved over to let a truck merge (not all merge lanes are engineered correctly, in fact most are NOT). On a two lane divided highway, he's now in the left lane maybe going faster, maybe going slower, maybe going the same speed as the truck.
Dunno about your universe, but in mine, what I might hit is in front of me when travelling down the highway so I control where I go, how fast I go, and how far away from those in front I am. Anybody behind me can get fucked for all I care, what happens behind me is not in my control and therefore not my responsability to fix. It IS in your control so it IS your responsability to fix it. The dangerous situation is created by you, not by the guy in front of you.
You arrogant fuck assume there are never any good reasons to end up in the left "fast" lane, which is simply not true.
Along comes Adolf the self described breaker of telecommunication laws to set him straight! By god he will flash the aryan race high beams to get that slow person off of his lane.
Go fuck yourself. Have fun replacing my car with insurance money and getting dragged through court when I slam on the breaks in front of your ass do to the box of kittens running across the road.
Actually, you are taking energy out of the vortex of swirling air, and taking advantage of the turbulent air which can in some cases slide over your vehicle easier. By the time your vehicle gets to the equation, the truck is out of the equation.
Same reason airplanes want little sub-vortices on the top of the wing and disrupting it (like with ice) causes problems.
In my experience, the vortex that "pulls" is so far back from the truck at highway speeds (1 - 3 truck lengths) that there is no way you are causing harm to the truck efficiency.
Truckers don't like it if you are close because they can't see how close you are once you are out of mirror range. Not because you cost them fuel.
Your post is so full of factually incorrect bullshit it's almost funny.
I defy you to find anybody in TFA that says they broke the laws of physics.
Of friggin course they will be bound by the laws of physics. This thing isn't a Captain Kirk invention. It's a novel biochemical solution to what used to be a chemical physical method, doing the exact same goddamn thing, taking a hard to move energy source and trading some of it for portability of a gas or liquid.
There are well known compounds and methods for storing hydrogen that makes your storage point moot. Fuck, BMW has a working H-power car. You think they are using a long cyrogenic hose? My guess is, there's an H tank in there somewhere. People have been storing and moving hydrogen around for years. The only questions are is it affordable, feasable in a car and safe. Even if all the problems are not solvable by good simple engineering, compromise solutions that don't rely on the stuff sitting in the vehicle for a week unattended might be used.
So I suggest fuck off. Ride your bike if you want you fucking hippie. Some of us like goods and services transported in a shorter time than a month and intend to have another way of doing it once the oil runs out.
Dude, you are aware the Brits drew the lines arbitrarily, ignoring ethnic and cultural lines in the first place right? Which, in the long run, CAUSED the Iraq region to get screwed up in the first place...
Dividing it up, would make it closer to what it should have been since the Brits first started mucking around with other people's stuff.
Duh.
