Um somehow I doubt that. You still have to sort, purify, etc all that combined waste to get something usefull. Sure if landfills were already neatly sorted in their constituent elements it may be a mining resource. As it is now they're just messes.
As a sign of stupidy abound my school recently switched from paper trays for pizza slices to styrofoam containers. Hazaa for progress!
I think there are bigger threats to the survival of mankind than some glow in the dark fish. For example, how about the consumption of fossil fuels? Or what about the sheer volume of landfill waste created daily?
Of course I'm just some nutball hippie. We've got plenty of oil and land to occupy [in more than one sense!].
I'd say to the advocates "take your energy you are wasting on this GM fish and use it to fight real crimes against mankind".
"Law enforcement... cool. Now the cops can keep their 50kV stun guns charged all the time!"
I'd say for the dude getting stunned it beats having their issue sidearms charged at all times...but that's another debate alltogether [of which I don't normally support, e.g. menace to society.... we put you down sucka!]
The problem with solar is that it's inefficient. So if everyone has their own portable solar station with them they waste a lot of material and ironically energy.
Why not just put more outlets at airports, restaurants then supplment the powergrid with more solar?
So far of the five airports I've been to I've never seen an electrical outlet anywhere. That to me is just plain stupid.
Even in the new Ottawa airport there aren't any. So they spend billions on some "art nouveau deco" for the airport then don't spend the time to wire it up. Hazaa!
This is why business people are stupid. They never think to steps ahead of right now...
I call fascist. You're no longer welcomed here. I've informed the authorities and you will be detained for further questioning and possible sodomization.
Yeah, hehehe, cuz like paraphrasing a TV series shows a sign of higher mental function... Next he will paraphrase the love scene when Taco comes up from episode J-24 of Babylon five.
Hehehe, totally, imagine a beowolf of unoriginal jackasses quoting stupid sci-fi shows...oh wait shit... this is/., full of them already. No need for an imagination.
And before you jackass mods, mod me as -1, flamebait just keep in mind...I had your mother last night and she was a bit tight. The bleeding should stop anytime today.
Like the rest of the/. crowd I write comments based on pure conjured brainfarts that come out of the wind. Why RTFA, why AHSFE and certainly why PSFTIYP?
Also, I was joking. Calm down. While I still prefer Gentoo [hint: it's better for development and it's more configurable] I really don't think Debian is "evil".
I go by the theory that I'm not really here. No way a logical rule based universe could exist where morons like you who use AC as a shield of sorts think yourself as people of conviction.
Now go get yourself an 8 digit account number and post like the real playahs. Aight?
Hahaha, funny. You so insightful. You funny long time. 100%.
DIE STUPID DIE.
No, we don't need an Xbox version cuz the Xbox is for lame FPS games. What the world needs is less "+1,insightful" and "+1,interesting" morons like you at the helm of anything important.
Next you'll say how we need a Beowolf of Debians, then maybe something about how hot the Debian mascot is.
Just block the domain name/ip of the hosted images. Most spams I get come from random IPs but usually have common IP/domain name for the hosted images e.g.
hostz300001.com/ads/viagra.jpg
Or whatever. I've cut down from 50 spams to about 3 or so a day by doing that.
I bet a bayesian filter would work nicer but unfortunately I'm too lazy to mod the mail setup [that isn't mine] to get one installed..
That's true in general. Not for *me* though. I seem prone to buy lemons even from fairly repudible local companies [though no problems from FutureShop yet].
Still for most students and people paying off student debt I'd say a warranty is a good bet.
Yeah but if you're website gets to the point where you need PHP to make it go you should get a professional developer to do it for ya. Even if it's your own data behind the scenes.
Still my main point stands. The bulk of these programming books are just recycles with a new lang behind it.
True dat. In my case the warranty was 25% of the cost of the laptop itself, however, as it stands now I can't afford to buy a new one. I need it for school + work + projects which means I had to get a warranty.
Though I dunno if your logic works. Even if you can afford to buy a new laptop if it breaks it's still cheaper to use a warranty.
Since my warranty is all parts + labour from FutureShop I doubt they will burn me if it breaks [that is, not by my fault].
Hehehe yeah. Don't forget that "shit happens" too. You might get a power spike and boom, no more computer. Or the fan might cease up and no more cpu or the flourescent [sp?] tubes may be shit and boom LCD dead, etc...
My gameplan is todo weekly backups. Then if say my LCD or cpu or whatever dies I'll snatch my HD out of the laptop, send it in for repair [locally I might add] and even if they replace the whole unit I still have my harddisk which is really all that matters.
Such companies then shouldn't be able to process private data. Really that simple. Can't afford a professional you can't do business.
As to your off hand remark about India there are plenty of developers in the States that would gladly code a website. The problem is they demand competitive wages [not slave labour rates].
So yeah, if you're company is small then you outsource for developers. You don't just cut corners and have your janitor develop your website...
Slashdot Mirror
Yes they are.
When's the last time you had to extract metal from various plastics, papers and other weird man-made chemicals?
Point being landfill bad idea. It's just a by-product of "plenty of resources to burn" syndrome people all too happily adopt.
How's about this. Stop making products solely to make money because if you keep it up in a few hundred years it won't matter!

Why can't I just be impartial? Maybe I have no desire of using Gentoo at all? Ever think of that?
Oh and get yourself an account loser.
Tom
I disagree.
There are far too few paragraph breaks in your msg to even make it possible that you have something smart to say.

Telling me what I can and can't say.

got to count for at least 36 or so ports of BSD!!!
Who says I use Gentoo?

Dude, um learn to use paragraphs. Like this.
See.
New.

When I was using Word I was 16, in grade ten computer science and wasn't exposed to TeX yet. What is your excuse?

I say negative a bajillion for being un-original.
This my reply is 100% over.
Tom
Debian kills small babies. Gentoo doesn't. You do like small babies right?
Tom
Instead of dropping their attitudes why can't they just drop dead? Use Gentoo instead.
Debian is all about non-choice. Gentoo is about choice. You do support choice right?
Tom
sucks goat cheese.
Use Gentoo, Use A Real Mans Distro. You are a real man right?
