What's the advantage to this, over just riding on a boat? You can get the same results by towing a balloon with a camera attached to it, without risking someones life. The only use I can see for it is for entertainment, like those parachute rides at the beach.
I'll bet the biggest difference is caused by the choice of compilers. The windows compiler has been optimized for x86, while gcc has to optimize for numerous targets.
It works like retrophrenology (diskworld reference). If you adjust the motor properly, you can change the length of the day. Brings a new meaning to daylight savings time.
Is this part of the "boxed data center" package? I know they are including power genertators, but I didn't think that it would require massive amounts of hamster food.
You will need to read to them a copyright notice before starting each book, just like you get on DVD's. Hopefully they won't fall asleep, or start crying in fear, before you finish the 10 minute spiel.
We frequently have several days in a row with the temp below -20F during the winter, and I have never noticed trees exploding because of that. Trees exploding because of lightning yes, cold no.
I suspect that the current "global warming" programs have been written with the assumption that global warming is real, and that they have built this "fact" into the programs. Since there is no way to review the source code to see if this is true, they protect themselves from discovery of this fact. In any other area of science, peer review is considered important, but in this area anything that supports it is lauded, but anything that negates is either ignored or loudly declaimed.
You MUST believe whatever they tell you, or the inquisition will come after you.
There are many bizarre ideas that you must believe to belong in the global warming cult. Such as, the sun has no effect on the earth, carbon produced by SUV's (which is less than 2% of that produced by natural means) is the major cause of global warming, volcanoes don't produce greenhouse gases, the Earth's temperature has never varied more than 1/10 of a degree over the last million years.
What can you say about a program that assumes that the sun and volcanic eruptions have absolutely no effect on the global temperature?
Until you seperate global warming from religion, you will not get any real science done. Until the real cause is understood, there cannot be a usable correction. Any "fix" without understanding the real problem would be like changing the tires on your car when you see an pool of oil under it. You've done something, spent a lot of money, but fixed nothing.
This has to be a really stupid idea, but that is what many of these "green" ideas are.
Used coffee grounds for ink? You will not get consistant darkness, and it will probably bleed so much that the printout will be completely unreadable. Just try draw anything on paper using coffee. Regular ink-jet ink tends to bleed like crazy, some random crap isn't going to work better.
Manually operated print-head? Do they specify the number of times you are going to have to pump the thing to get a single page printed? If your arms aren't sore after printing out that 100 page general ledger, you should get an automatic invitation to the next olympics.
Have you priced replacement batteries for laptops? And the backlighting is probably ready to go out, if it hasn't already. The costs would likely be more than buying brand new eepc's in bulk.
expecting real change on a ship the size of the Federal Government in ten days is pretty unrealistic.
Have you seen the number of "executive orders" he's written already? The cost of these orders will soon exceed the entire budget of Bush's entire presidency, including the cost of the Iraq and Afgan wars. He's already allocated billions each for free abortions and voter fraud groups.
As I understand it, there are a lot of factors involved in the gestation, which will atter the development. Temperature, available food, etc all come together, and as one example will affect the patterning of the fur. If you look at the existing cloned animals and their "parent meterial", it's obvious that they look different.
So, you paid a huge sum of money on a cloned dog. How do you know you have an actual clone, and not just another dog they pulled out of the pound? Don't lab's look pretty much the same? After spending that much, I hope you've also paid for some DNA testing.
So, what you are saying is that it isn't possible to extrapolate global warming on Mars in even a short term because of a lack of understanding of the overall physics and insufficient data points.
However, a similar lack of data points and lack of understanding means that we can accurately extrapolate the Earths temperature for the next 1000 years.
Because Obama has already handled it. He did an executive order that provides billions of dollars for free abortions. It's considered, by the leading Democrats, to be an economic stimulus package.
Tens of thousands die every day from malnutrition.
And, in order to improve this situation, more and more corn is taken from food-production and converted into inefficient fuel-production.
4 gallons of ethenol need to be burned to produce one extra gallon of corn-ethenol. Thus, for every gallon of ethonol you use in your car, you are actually burning 5 gallons of fuel. And this is supposed to reduce greenhouse gasses.

But, will it blend?
Shouldn't we get the sizes of these satellites, or the debree bits, in some useful standardized format. Like Library of Congresses, or golf balls?

All this technology, and it didn't work..

Sorry, but according to the global warming experts, the sun has absolutely no effect on the global temperature.

Do you go have it done again and get a second clone?
And if you do clone again, which one do you clone from? The original or the copy?
but it will be effectively its identical twin

Temperature, available food, etc all come together, and as one example will affect the patterning of the fur.

So no, it won't be an "identical twin".

"Global warming denier"? Are people actually using that term?
Yes.
If one disagrees with the dogma of the day, that makes one a "denier"?
Yes
Sigh. Political correctness has gotten way out of hand.
Yes
1. Kill all the farmers.
2. Give their farms to clueless idiots.
3. ???
4. Profit

While he's in prison, make him learn a new trade. Maybe by using one of those internet colleges. He couldn't cause trouble doing that.
It may be 95% pure, but it's that other 5% that turns you into mutant zombies.
Brains!
Don't they realize that "it's fiction"?
They might as well play around with radioactive spiders. Whose turn is it to be bitten today?
