Hey, they said the oceans were gonna rise, right? So all that limestone sediment in the Mississippi drainage basin goes back into the sea, and the corals are fine. The humans get kinda screwed, though.
Also, wait until you're older to have that one child.
A big part of the problem is also that when you live 80 years and have kids at 20, you have your kids, yourself, your parents at 40, your grandparents at 60, and your great-grandparents at 80 all alive at once.
If you're living to 80 and having kids at 15 each generation, that's your kids, you, your parents at 30, grandparents at 45, great-grandparents at 60, and great-great-grandparents at 75. Maybe even some great-great grandparents.
If, OTOH, you dial that back some and have kids at 30, you have you, your kids, and your parents at 60 and maybe some of your grandparents.
Three to four living generations are a lot more sustainable than six or seven. It's not all about the kids per generation, but also the time between generations.
No problem. The central US is all limestone, which was deposited the last time the oceans covered it. Let that dissolve, and you'll have saltier water with a decent pH. Where all the humans live in the meantime is the big issue. Where's Kevin Costner when we really need him?
Growing food for herbivores takes carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, at least. Well, unless you put more into it in the way of fossil fuels and fertilizer manufacturing than the plants take up anyway. Score one more for grazing cattle over corn-fed.
Constrast that to the horror story I found at an ISP. I was the manager of the technical staff (servers and network) at a medium-sized ISP that went through a rash of acquisitions before being acquired itself. One ISP we bought had a Pentium 133 in an AT desktop case with 256 megabytes of RAM. It ran NT 4, and it did pretty much everything but offer the network ports. It was serving primary and secondary RADIUS for auth and logging. It did primary and secondary DNS, both authoritative for the domains and caching for the customers. I used IMail for all mail (MX, outbound SMTP, POP3, and mail storage). It also hosted the ISP's web site. There were about 3,000 customers on that little hunk of junk. Once we migrated them over to our systems, we actually had calls thanking us for speeding up authentication. It was that noticeable.
Just because you're weeks to months behind a beta cycle doesn't give you some reason to bitch. If you don't like testing or the speed of development, then stick to releases.
Well, sinc eyou own another model I guess it's too late to point out that they do have a product line rather than just the one product. If 100 lumens doesn't work for someone, there are other BenQ options (for more money, of course). For $699 you get 2000 lumens, for $1399 you get 3500, and for $1999 you get 4000.
If you haven't, you should really see "Urinetown: The Musical". I'm serious, even if musicals aren't normally your thing. It's hilarious and deals with this sort of issue in a dark comedic way.
It really depends just how far you are from the stations you want to pick up. Yeah, lots of people are going to need to replace antennas to get stations that aren't very close by but which they could pick up as analog channels. A good quality VHF/UHF antenna from the analog days will pick up digital channels in your immediate local area, though.
Sorry, you're right. Sulfur in different naturally occurring forms is both a diuretic and a laxative.
More specifically part of the sulfur in a sulfurous water supply is likely to be in some form of salt (like magnesium sulfate) which is a laxative. Elemental sulfur is a mild diuretic. Thanks for catching the distinction and pointing it out.
The smell in the water isn't from pure elemental sulfur, BTW, but from hydrogen sulfide. That's an irritant at low levels of concentration and can be toxic (even lethal) in high concentrations.
Sulfur, when present in water, is likely to be in many forms, as it reacts with a number of other elements readily which are also likely to be found near water.
The main problems with analog technology are related to degradation over distance, degradation under interference, and degradation of the media over time. Doing a high-quality decode to a high-resolution analog signal and then immediately encoding that back to digital can lose very little quality. It's often so little, in fact, that you won't notice. Then your source and interface are digital again and once again more resistant to degradation.
Another thing they could do is make recordable disks a hell of a lot cheaper. DVDs and players caught on really well around the time people could make and play a DVD home movie as cheaply and easily as a VHS one. $25 for a 25GB recordable disk is outrageous, even if you're willing to buy the recording drive for $150 or $200. Five 4.7GB DVDs cost less than a dollar, and hold a home movie, company training spot, or product info spot just fine.
Early models are already for sale. Samsung has been selling them for a while now. The price needs to come down to be a great alternative, but the power savings of having the pixels generate light rather than having a harsh backlight shining through the screen should help.
If your sulfur content was too high, you'd have diarrhea all the time you drink it as sulfur is a diuretic. If it's just the smell, then there are many ways to deal with that, including filters at the taps.
What MS possesses for the most part are project managers who ship profitable software. One way to keep your software more profitable is to let your customers do a good portion of your quality control so you can get to market early and fix the biggest problems in a patch later. It shows little pride of workmanship, but it's sound business so long as your product is at least just good enough to sell.
Shopping is a skill, and sometimes luck helps. I got a Philips DVD recorder with Firewire DV in, HDMI in, composite in, component in, component out, HDMI out, and ATSC SDTV tuner for under $70. The retailer was closing out all DVD recorders with SDTV so all their models have ATSC HD tuners and the poor nontechnical buyers don't bitch and return the SD ones.
Our channel 27 (WQEC, your WSEC on channel 8) keeps the best signal in town going. Unfortunately, Network Knowledge is in a fund-raising fury because this government-mandated switch comes along at the same time as huge cuts in government funding for PBS.
We actually got only four channels here before the DTV signals came up -- KHQA 7 (CBS), WGEM 10 (NBC), some Protestant religious channel (which makes EWTN look like Spielberg directs everything), and a single PBS. Now we also have ABC (on 7.2), CW (10.2), Fox (10.3), PBS World (27.2), and Create (27.3).
Our upstairs TV has a fine picture through most anything on just an amplified set-top antenna. The first story TV in the living room has momentary issues during storms or when large vehicles go by on the street.
My parents live 7 miles outside of an even smaller town over in Missouri, and they get Quincy IL, Hannibal MO, and sometimes Columbia MO and St. Louis stations on just unamplified rabbit ears. I keep trying to get them to install an outdoor antenna so they can get KMOV, KDNL, and KSDK off the air reliably.

Don't worry, if the projections are right then nature will take care of us pesky humans if we don't get around to it first.

That probably worked just fine, too.

Heh. "Austria" v. "Australia". I knew trolls had a hard time reading for comprehension.
I think you'll find a candy bar or a soda in a vending machine is typically 30% to 60% higher than supermarket prices. People pay for convenience.
Well, if they are censoring the bad posts, then what's the matter?

So it can "fail" to recognize my anti-virus software, and sign me up to have all my net traffic routed through Microsoft for analysis? No thank you.

A $40 coupon towards a ~$40 box is pretty much free. They sent out millions of cards worth $40 or $80 for one or two converters.
