While I think you have a point, one has to wonder how much should we pile onto those not "happy fun shunshine" days. To me it seems there is no shortage of crappy shit fuckdays when we turn 18 and have to live our own lives. Unless your uber-pampered kid with a unlimited inheritance or some sort.
It is completely fair, to ask the question, what in neurobiology can teach us about dicipline. We think there are the mirror neurons that may help us explain it. Flogging your kids might well create violent adults.
The story should be, UPC lifted the block -finally-.
If you value your online rights, privacy and freedom, switch to xs4all as ISP. They lifted this block only hours after the appeal verdict came in weeks ago, and did not wait to see if BREIN would appeal their appeal for weeks like UPC.
Not that UPC is bad perse, but they do not have the hacker DNA xs4all has.
(yes yes my/. uid is low, and so is my xs4all account.)
Maybe, sorta, if EVERYONE was giving power back. What is quite more common I think is that your neighbours will be actually consuming your excess and so peak draw will be less, to everyone's benefit.
Except, the power back is predictable and regulatable, both by law and with by local infra such as batteries, also the prices YOU receive will be less then the price YOU will pay per/kwh.
I do agree on your premises that local connects should be well build and not interfere (misguided to think they are not possible, they are) and in the end local solar is here to stay. The utilities should adapt, and be reasonable. Flat our refusing to connect is not reasonable. If they claim a local mile is "not suited" then their shit is crap. They can and should demand good infrastructure in your house, and YOU should do Vise Versa!
So bascially what your saying is, even if the customer has all the latest upgrades, and perfection in his local house energy-grid + two way energy connection, the incumbent last mile is still crap?
Bikers, in the cities of Netherlands are indeed annoying. But the liablity law (it's 50 % blame on the car by default though, not 100%) is relatively new, and the annoyance is much older. It is mostly a numbers game. Dutch cities are narrow and cramped, and the sheer amount of cyclists is enormous.

How Safe Is Cycling?
·
· Score: 3, Informative
In The Netherlands. Nobody wears a helmet, with a few exception for very young kids (Always flanked and shielded by a overly concerned parent.)
I could show a graph that nicely shows that helmets are correlated with higher death rates. (No the helmet doesn't kill, its because helmets are worn in countries with low separation of slow cyclists and fast cars) There is also a correlation between more helmets (by law) leading to LESS cyclers. Its a burden.
Seperation of slow and fast traffic is BY FAR the biggest factor here. Then also consider the health benefit of the exercise.
Regular exercise will make you more healthy and prolong your life! So, on bike lanes, Cycling is Super Awesome Safe! No helmet needed.
ps, incidents are on the rise due to old folks going faster on their electric assisted bikes. ps2 mopeds, scooters, especially those that clock 50km/h are more and more forced into the car lane in The Netherlands, the speeds fits better. ps3 Watch your juveniles, those pesky 12-18 y/o have a high incident rate. They are also likely to be offended by a helmet..
But these IAB folks sure think I do. I buy a specific amplifier? I get that-exact- same model on my ads. Buy a nice new guitar, same model pops up in my ads.
Id say I would get a more divers advertisment experience, without the tracking...
Oh, and it annoyed me to see non-useful ads, so I disabled -all- ads.
He basically designed the abstract London Tube map and later the famous Paris Metro map on the same general priciple: sacrifice geo accuracy, for readabilty. Reasoning would be one requires a different map underground, then above ground, as underground counting stations, and finding the best spot to switch trains is more important then geo correctness.
Circular has nothing to do with it, London's and Paris' are for square, but still have the same abstractness.
Hi there AC from work parent of your reply here, at home, now non-anon.
My statement is "Other GMO is concerned with terminator genes" I did not say all GMO is terminator gened. It is being actively researched. If regulation does not stop that into commerccial markets, monsanto WILL use it. It kills the cross pollination problem (but introduces a shitstorrm more issues, sure lets introduce suicide genes in life eh, what could possibly go wrong? )
I see you do also not adress my core two problems:
- make genes unpatentable - Label foods so people have a choice in swallowing glypho or not.
Im not an organic eater/farmer. I have no real "natural" preference for anything, humans are natural too IMHO. I have nothing against technology, Im an engineer. I laugh at illuminati theorists, however ignoring the fact that the world is run by mega corps being plutocratic is also naive.
I do however see the danger in not labeling food properly, and handing over patents on genes to corps. Im sorry for your ill health, I do hope you feel well.
Ah and last but not least, glypho has been several times found in higher then normal rates under consumers of roundup ready crops.
You are correct, on the surface of things. However the anti-GMO argument is not just "GMO is always bad for you". It just states, that GMO is a way to uncertain technique at this moment to blindly risk the worlds food supply.

I'm sure OpenVMS is in use, running some COBOL for a bank orso. In 1995 VAX/VMS was HUGE in network cluster tech.
I was right in the middle of that, since we were pitching a VAXcluster box against Appleshare and WinNT for serving Computer Based Training for Fokker Aircraft (now sadly defunct).
Our requirement was to serve a classroom full of Apple Mac's (Apple OS 6.x, oh good times), Appleshare won. VAX/VMS choked on 2Mb/s on a 10Mb ethernet. Still I loved the architecture, and it sparked by furure *nix interest.
The rumour in the day was that the WinNT team was basically the former VMS team, and that WNT was really VMS-rot-1:)

Yes.
BMW for instance, has research dedicated to "morphing skins" for both design and efficiency angles.

" Prove that the algorithm works. That's your proof. (Run the program a few times, so the probability of errors in the output is close to zero"
"probably true" is NOT a prove.
And SO IS THE BETA!

None of your points are valid in my country.
I think you have a local problem: In NY and Chicago biking is currently only popular by progressive super aggressive thrill seekers.
What was the question?
1, 4 may help marginally.
Bikelanes will trump any other measure.

Sure, until they make that a 20 year mandatory prison crime.
I largely agree with you.
However, those exceptions are so important, they may outweigh the benefit of having less trolls.
