Oddly it's more expensive to execute someone than to let them rot in jail for the rest of their life.
That's because of due process. If the lengthy appeals are disposed of (and even the initial trial as the poster proposed) then executions would be much cheaper*.
Part of the reason for what you say above is simple, the human body only absorbs alcohol so fast. A person with a 0.08 now could have a.15 in 20 mins. Better nab them too early than too late.
That's no excuse. Someone with a 0.00 could go to a bar and down 5 shots in 20 minutes and then hop back in their car. Detaining someone for what might happen is not legitimate.
I'm pretty sure it is a run. Notice around 0:53 in the video both feet are off the ground. You can tell because they are both moving forward at the same.
Relocating to the Vancouver area is a bad point? What world are you living in? On Earth Vancouver is frequently ranked among the planets most livable cities.
When I say lift isn't free I don't mean no work is done, I mean it uses energy. Now it's been a long time since I've done any physics, but I'm pretty sure not doing work doesn't mean you aren't using energy.
For instance, if I hold a heavy bucket out at arms length no work is being done, but I'm still going to get worn out in a short time because it takes energy to balance the pull of gravity. Or if I lift a heavy box (or aircraft) and then lower it, technically now work has been done but I've still expended a lot of energy. Isn't that true?
San Diego has tons of cafe's with free and reliable internet. Not counting Starbucks I've got about 7 in a 15 minute walk from where I live. My favorites in my neighborhood are Twiggs and Cream. Of the two I prefer Cream for work because it has more space and power outlets. If you need late night Lestat's is open 24 hours, and Rebbecca's in South Park is open all night on weekends.
There is also a big difference between glaciers or rising oceans encroaching on ancient human settlements and them encroaching on our relatively immobile modern cities.
We're talking about the fuel, so yes the fuel is carbon neutral. The production and distribution systems would obviously use fossil fuels at first but that's because everything uses fossil fuels currently. No one expects everything to magically switch over just because a new source of fuel is available.
You were modded down probably because you said they aren't carbon neutral because you burn them, that's just plain wrong. It looks like you've done some research since you posted that.
That's a good point, water usage is a major problem in many areas. Are greywater and other non-potable water sources possible options? The water that comes out of sewage treatment plants for example is rarely used for human consumption but it would be fine for algae production.
No. When you burn them you are releasing carbon into the atmosphere, but when you grow the algae they remove an equal amount of carbon from the atmosphere. No net gain of CO2, that's the definition of carbon neutral. Oil is not carbon neutral because burning it releases carbon into the atmosphere which was previously sequestered in the ground.
Biofuels solve two major problems, they are carbon neutral and they are not dependent on the middle east. Are the problems they create worse than those?
Letters and notes to people, postcards, journals. Creative writing. Use your imagination. Just because you think the only use for a pen is filling in income tax returns doesn't mean there aren't other uses.
How about you come up with a useful contribution to the thread or not reply? Yelling FUD isn't useful. If you have information about how the reliability of SSDs compares to RAID controllers feel free to provide it. As it is you've contributed nothing.
I think there is a lot of use for hand writing still aside from just filling in forms. I would not support handicapping anyone by depriving them of that ability.
They call it recruit handwriting and every letter is a capital and written distinctly. Once learned it is perfectly legible and unambiguous when written with even the worst penmanship. It is used for official logs and forms which must be legible.
As far as I am concerned it is the only form of writing by hand that should ever be taught.
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE. DO YOU THINK ALL CAPS IS ONLY OBNOXIOUS WHEN USED ON THE INTERNET?
The search terms were PROVIDED in that example -- he specifically said he searched for "Linux." Reading comprehension is important. That is not a Microsoft-centric search and should not produce Microsoft-centric results. It's really that simple, even if you can't stand it.
What he says makes some sense, although I don't know if it's correct or not. The suggested search terms are generated (presumably) based on what users of the site have searched for in the past. All he was saying is that there may be a selection bias due to the fact that users who exclusively use Linux are less likely to use an MS search engine.

Was real? My office is just down the street from them. Sure they aren't doing that cool Project Orion stuff anymore but they're still here.

So what? Lift doesn't come for free.
No he's right. Quantum entanglement does not theoretically enable faster then light transmission of information.

Most people don't spend all 24 hours either working or sleeping. Don't you even have weekends? I would have to say your situation is not the norm.
Try to follow along. Bush isn't evil incarnate, he's a useful idiot incarnate.
Cheney on the other hand, he's evil incarnate.
I totally agree. I hate it when people make stuff up just to criticism someone they don't like. Especially when it's so unnecessary, as with Bush.
Since when is bush-bashing not legit?

Corn based biofuels are a bad idea. I think everyone who isn't paid to think otherwise agrees on that.

Wow. Thanks for the wasted time.
