What really is insane is this stupid complaints about "Happy Holidays". The reason people say that is not because they are devil-worshipping atheist SJWs. They say it because there are TWO holidays! And I'm not talking about Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, I am talking about WASP holidays called "Christmas" and "New Years". White rich right-wing good Americans take the whole week off and thus their friends may not see them until after BOTH holidays, so what the fuck are they supposed to say?
The attempt to secularize Christmas was the term "XMas". Remember that? Probably not if you are younger than 40. It failed. The "war on Christmas" is over and Christmas won. But the crazy religious right will not get over it and keep pushing this nonsense.
NK's nukes are obviously not offensive weapons. Yes they may be able to nuke a city but that would not put them in any better position even if the rest of the world did absolutely nothing about it. The nukes and missiles are defensive, Kim thinks the threat of him using it will prevent an attack (including things like sanctions) from the west.
Oddly enough the armies you say are defensive *could* be used offensively, he has the capability to occupy some small portion of south Korea and not be forced back out because the west decides that the necessary death and destruction to do so is not worth it.
if it's not divisible it essentially locks out the possibility of trade to all but a handful of people. As the price of Bitcoin grows it does not matter because anyone can still use.001 bitcoin for a transaction. If you have a 15k tulip bulb the ability to extract value from it is far more limited and thus the market or users will shrink.
Rare tulips were indeed scarce.
Not really though since once you have a bulb, you can divide it to create more.
Brilliant how you managed to contradict yourself in two sentences! So tulips are not the same because they can't be divided, and they are not scarce because they can be divided. Got it.
I think you are confusing "science of the 70s" with "SciFi of the 50s". Those pics of lasers melting glaciers before they overrun a city are from the 50s. By the seventies it was popular to say we would turn the Planet into Venus (though that is an enormous exaggeration over any accrual prediction of warming).
There are plenty of climate experts who think nuclear power will help. Stop making shut up to buttres your myopic world view. I think it is hilarious how all the endless problems with transmission lines and electric cars that you guys spit out if solar is mentioned magically vanish when the electricity is nuclear, however.
No it was not. Stop making shut up. I lived in the seventies. Warming due to co2 was already being mentioned (as "we will turn the Planet into Venus") but really things like acid rain and general particle pollution were mostly talked about, with no mention of the (known insignificant) heating or cooling effects. Larry Niven got confused by early warming reports and wrote some SciFi attributing disasters in the future to waste heat.
I'm sure you will now trot out that Time article, which is actually an early denialist piece and proves that warming was being discussed enough to trigger denialist.
I don't think so, as the people reporting the symptoms are a random subset. Having them all be in on this plot just seems impossible, the usual problem with conspiracy theories. And the government could not have caused these symptoms to them without their cooperation, as that has all the same problems of figuring out how the Cubans did it when it looks physically impossible.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete was a key combination trapped by the BIOS keyboard driver in the original IBM PC and it caused the machine to reboot. This meant it worked almost all the time (it did not work if the interrupt going into the BIOS was disabled or if something was done to the keyboard hardware so that it did not produce the right key codes). It was also pretty obvious that it should be hard to type accidentally, and this was pretty common on all computers at that time.
Since typing Ctrl+Alt+Delete caused a reboot, no MSDOS software used that key combination to do anything. Thus Windows (which was initially very concerned with being able to run existing MSDOS software) was able to safely use that key combination (and no other) for it's own purposes (Windows did change the keyboard interrupt so it did not go to the BIOS and thus stopped the reboot).
Later versions of Windows had to keep using that key combination as any other one may have interfered with existing software.
I would say they could have done something when they introduced the "Windows Key" since software was not using it yet. Hitting it could have done the job. Other than that, there is nothing really done wrong here, just back-compatibility causing grief.
He did say "plug-in hybrids" which are gettng pretty popular. Nowhere near 80% by any stretch of the imagination, but a lot more than your electric-car percentage.
Really the level of intelligence being demonstrated here is so low as to be almost unbelievable!
In case you really don't have a clue: carbon dioxide is put into the atmosphere, and is absorbed by the oceans from the atmosphere. So they BOTH go up. Not sure why you think there is some requirement that one go up and the other down.
Okay you have officially proved you are a complete ignoramous with your quote of "I wonder why nobody has offered up stopping cutting down trees as a solution to global warming".
In case you are really that stupid, it HAS been suggested many many times.
I remember the Bay Area well. The on ramps came ofter the off ramps on the freeway. So there is a lane of slow traffic waiting to get off trying to weave through the lane of slow traffic trying to get onto the freeway.
This is pretty common. If you want to minimize the number of bridges you build and not require stops to allow other traffic to make a left turn, it is unavoidable by basic topology.
I'm from Massachusetts and EVERY intersection was this design. I really doubt Massachusetts is that strange. Never say other designs with flyover bridges until California.
The poor are more likely to have jobs they have to arrive at time at, making it harder for one of them to take a detour to pick up another one. I have carpooled but I would not be considered the lower class, and I can certainly see how this would be far more difficult if my time for travel was limited.
Absolutely agree, what was described is not what most people think of when they hear the term "carpool lanes". You could also show that removing the congestion pricing in London would cause more congestion. Not a surprise.
In my experience carpool and toll lanes do speed things up, as there are several places in LA where they have been added or removed so it is easy to compare. The biggest complaint is that they are another form of income disparity, basically the richer people (who can pay tolls or wait the extra time to organize a carpool) can use the lanes and go faster, while the poor are stuck in the slower lanes. But the average speed is greater (ie the rich get more advantages than the poor get disadvantages). So it is difficult to say. In fact conservative/free market people should be in favor of these while liberals would be against them as that is the way the arguments go.
I've heard the license to play the music required the DJ to talk over a portion of it, so that recordings were not perfect. A very early form of copy protection, really. Don't know if this is true however.
I can't believe he was stupid enough to do the test worth a different gun or a much different book. A likely mistake was he put the book against a concrete wall. There papers not being able to expand into the space behind the book would have considerably increased their stopping power
You have it exactly right. I've been to Hanoi and the hate from the rich car owners toward the motorbikes (and pedestrians) was obvious. They want them gone and half the buildings torn down to make Western style streets. Pollution is just an excuse to get what they want.
I would allow tabs followed by spaces, too many programmers want to use that.
What it should enforce is:
- the indentation cannot have a space before a tab (so any indentation is m tabs followed by n spaces where either number may be zero). So space,tab would be a parsing error.
- Any change is considered an indentation change. So tab is a different indentation than 8 spaces. This will turn any mixing of characters that look like the same indentation into parsing errors
- In the few cases where it matters a different indentation can be split into whether it is an increase or a decrease by by having the number of tabs take precedence. More tabs means more indentation no matter how many spaces are lost. This removes any need to define how wide a tab is.
Not sure what is wrong with your trailer but all the ones I have used have the ability to switch which vehicle is towing it. You lift this latch and then disconnect it from this metal ball on the back of the towing vehicle. Maybe this is advanced technology you have not seen yet?

How does a normal person cross the road?
First they check if any cars are coming.
How does a programmer cross the road?
First they check if there is a road.

Mass hysteria seems to be what is happening.
Yes, mass hysteria is in fact the only answer that makes sense.
Yea this whole thing is silly.

You joke, but burning it would be better. The resulting CO2 is less of a greenhouse gas than the methane.
Even 8% sounds impressively high, but if that is what he found it explains the typo. I find it hard to believe he actually thinks 80% is correct.
He did say "plug-in hybrids" which are gettng pretty popular. Nowhere near 80% by any stretch of the imagination, but a lot more than your electric-car percentage.
Starting in 2018 more than 80 percent of all cars and trucks sold worldwide will be electric or plug-in hybrids
Um either you did a typo or you are pretty wrong there. I would suspect 20 percent at most, maybe you got the percentage reversed?

Not 3D. Red introduced less expensive hi-def (ie 4K or more) digital cameras.
