I've had Windows 7 on my desktop for a while (currently RTC). I really don't notice too many differences between it and Vista except for some superficial UI changes. On the other hand, Vista was more or less a fine operating system. It's not Vista that was shit, it was the IT media that was shit (but everyone already knew that).
Yes. I knew how you calculated it. You're just confused about what you're calculating.
"City 2 - 33.3% + 16.6%" -- note that the load on City 2 just increased 50%. If it were making 33 widgets and had to make another 16 widgets, it's now making 50% more widgets.
To be more explicit, each city in your analysis is taking up 16.6% extra of the total load, which means that each city is individually seeing a 50% increase in its own load.
I've been waiting for this story. It changed to Bing for me for IE 8 and Firefox on my Vista laptop a couple of weeks ago. I was rather surprised, to say the least. At the time I believed that the cause was the Windows Live Messenger I had installed recently. I don't run any toolbars.
Typing in the words "Atkins heart attack" into Google too hard for you, and I need to do it for you, huh? Here's some pics of Atkins 2 months before he had the fall that put him into a coma: Photos. Sorry, but if that man was 260 pounds when he died, it was water weight gained during the coma, just like the family says. The man looks healthy in those photographs.
Debunking your idiocy about Atkins would take you 5 minutes on Google. It's 180 degrees from fact. More puzzling to me is figuring out exactly what is wrong with your reasoning process to think that the your garbage might be relevant, even if true. As your teachers no doubt despaired of telling you, "the plural of anecdote is not data."
But is Pollan correct? Yes, the Japanese do great on complex carbohydrates combined with low-calorie intakes. If you're interested in some of the most exhaustive research I've ever seen on the subject, I'd recommend taking a look at Gary Taubes.
Until then, I'd suggest that you probably can't go wrong eating what your ancestors evolved to eat as big-game hunter-gathers -- high-fat diets supplemented with green vegetables to some degree.
And then we could live with all the health consequences of high-carbohydrate diets. Which, if we take American's obesity trends after the move towards higher-carbohydrate diets since the 1970s, cost a damn sight more than global warming ever could.
To be fair, that's a 4-unit plant. So a lot more power than 1 GW. And, as I pointed out, we've already proven that they can be built for a much more reasonable price.
I Googled for the name of the corporation and project until I found an article stating that they were spending $80 million on it. I think it was the BBC, but I don't remember.
A nuclear power plant generates about 1000 times as much power as this thing and costs only about 10 times as much (although some built in the 1970s cost only about twice as much).
What are you talking about? The Zune UI is great. And the Zune Windows software (since version 3.0) blows that crap called iTunes out of the water. I die a little inside every time I launch iTunes to sync with my iPhone.
The issue that we have to deal with isn't password-guessing so much. It's stupid users responding to emails asking for their passwords. All it takes is for the spammers to ask nicely, and two or three professors immediately give out their password.
Read the statutes. Making an unauthorized copy is a copyright violation. Possessing one is not mentioned. Which makes sense, since until recently, the statutes were written with publishers in mind, not the little man.
Downloading copyrighted material is not illegal. Uploading it is. Every person the RIAA has ever sued was doing uploading along with their downloading.
Oh fun. Everybody with a Twitter account, use the phrase "bleeding from my anus" in the next 10 minutes and see if you can't trigger a CDC Ebola alert.
(there is not such a thing as human races from a proper scientific point of view)
Sorry, but that's moronic. Police can even figure out the race of the suspect from DNA nowadays. (They caught some serial rapist/killer in Alabama like that a couple years back.)
Hispanics share one thing and one thing only: we speak Spanish.
Well you said one moronic thing already, so why not make it two? People of Hispanic descent contain a wider variety than many other groups, true. But the variety is neither infinite nor random. And it is on interesting display within Latin-American countries. The people on the top in countries like Mexico also tend to be much more Spanish. The people on the bottom tend to be much more mixed African/Spanish/Native (I've seen numbers for admixture ratios in the neighborhood of 50%). Actually, Spaniards in my neck of the world get very upset at being called Hispanic. And Hispanics in my neck of the world mostly speak English, which sort of blows your silly theory out of the water.
When you say the word "diversity," does it give you a stiffy or something? I pointed out a few facts. If they're racist, then reality is racist. Hispanics do commit more crime. Hispanics don't do well in school. If you'd like to disagree with either of those two points, go ahead, but you're going to get called an idiot again.
I respect the math degree. Had you led with it, I wouldn't have made fun of you for the education degree. Your argument remains deeply ignorant, I'm afraid. I don't normally recommend that people read "The Bell Curve" (because I think they'll get confused). But you should be able to figure out what a Gaussian distribution is, so read it. It's well-researched. Then read Gould's "Mismeasure of Man" critiquing it. If you don't agree with Paul Krugman's opinion of "consistently misleading" Gould by the end, then I'll take back the nice thing I said about your math degree. Or read Nisbett for the critique of "The Bell Curve." He is somewhat balder about the lies though.
There is plenty of evidence that IQ is strongly correlated to education and income in both the high-IQ and low-IQ brackets. Your statements about what the IQ test was designed for is beside the point. (And inaccurate -- look up the history of the IQ test on Wikipedia, please.)
Hispanic-White differences are usually about 2/3rds-1/3rd of a standard standard deviation. Black-White differences are about a full standard deviation on just about any test involving intellectual ability from WISC to WAIS to the SATs. Everybody knows this. Your study was supposed to surprise me how? Did you have a point other than to confirm my own? (1 standard deviation is 15 IQ points. But you're an education major and know all about IQ. I didn't have to tell you that.)
I like your bacon example. Bizarre that the same differences show up even more on culture fair tests (like Raven's Progressive matrices). And on math tests. Math is just sooo racist. (Oh yeah, forgot I was talking to someone with an education degree. You probably think it is.)
Hispanics commit a lot of crime in America. But I don't say that simply because I know their average IQ. I say it because the FBI releases statistics every year on crime by race (as reported by victims and also arrest frequency).
You are the ignorant individual. But that's not really a surprise. Ever seen the statistics for IQ by undergrad degree? Highest IQs are Physics and Math, followed by the hard sciences. Next come the social sciences. Last come the humanities. Very, very last comes education majors. Oh, and unlike every other field, where high IQ is linked to more advanced degrees, in education IQ goes down with more advanced degree holders.
But you've seen the education colleges. I don't need to tell you about the morons there.
A Latina family lives next door to me. They blast their Mariachi music until 2:00-3:00 am every morning from their car stereo while smoking dope and drinking.
The problem with letting low-IQ (Hispanic IQ approximately 90-95) people in, is that your average as a country goes down. A lot if their average fertility is positive while yours is negative.
Hispanics in America commit a lot of crime, consume a lot of social services, and return relatively little as a fraction of the GDP. Republicans want more Hispanics because big business likes cheap labor. Democrats want more Hispanics because they're going to vote Democrat forever. The average American -- well, he's screwed.
Please read Steve Sailer'sIQ FAQ before replying with something dumb about IQ. I'm not going to respond to non-studied opinions about IQ any more than I'd respond to someone making stupid claims about Thermodynamics without even knowing the definition of Etropy.
I use it WMP11 too. I'd be impressed if they improved their codec support. I get annoyed when I can't play an mkv file or when my avi uses too new a version of xvid.
Weren't they going to ditch the brown already? I thought I read a Slashdot story about Ubuntu getting a new theme that doesn't attempt to inspire retching subliminally.

I had to go into about:config to fix things.

Oh no. You misunderstand. Your words were still stupid. I said I wouldn't have made fun of your degree.
Now. If you are "well-published in refereed journals" but don't know what average Hispanic IQ tests at, it's not worth my arguing with you.
Also re-read your first post, and note who started the "condescension." You can dish it, but you sure can't take it.
