Is your comment some kind of weird 1984 propaganda?
Yes, and I've directed some black helicopters to fart in your general direction. Prepare thyself.
Well, shouldn't it be the other way around?
Well, no.
He stood to lose more votes if he voted against the bill. Those predisposed to vote for him were more dedicated to him than those predisposed to vote for McCain. (This was borne out by piles of polling data.) So he could afford to offend his supporters a bit. It's that simple.
Actually, I'd be happy to store it in my back yard. Now, it'd be 100 feet down, but still.:)
Worries about nuclear waste are overblown. Besides, if things go right, most nuclear power plants will just burn it to make more energy: http://nucleargreen.blogspot.com/
Because the wind turbines would require a modest amount of spacing between them to allow room for the blades to spin, wind farms would occupy about 0.5 percent of all U.S. land...
I wonder if the transportation necessary to reach 0.5 of all U.S. land was considered. You must transport 1) the windmills themselves to the site, 2) all maintenance materials, 3) all maintenance workers over the lifetime of the windmills, 4) the windmills themselves offsite once they're retired.
Transport costs for windmills is undoubtedly large. I live in Texas and I've seen a few of these being hauled up I-45 from the port of Houston on the way to their destination in Midland. The blades are hauled individually by semi trailer and are about 2x as long as an 18 wheeler. And they're shipped to Houston from the Netherlands!
So I suspect that the analysis has neglected to take these factors into account when rating the carbon footprint of wind power...
Be open to criticism and be willing to change course in response to it.
Make sure when you do talk technical, you know what you're talking about. Feel free to ask questions if you don't know, and be able to absorb and express abck what you've learned.
If you need to make a decision based on "fluffy business stuff" that goes against the right theing to do on a technical issue, explain it thouroughly and be able to back it up. Geeks thrive on more information, not less.
The problem is that your monitor is still in two dimensions- so what benefit do you get with a 3d interface that you constantly need to translate back in to 2 dimensions?
I hate to break it to ya, but your retina is 2d interface. We seem to get along fine with it ina 3d world.:)
The Republicans are probably not going to have good luck winning elections anytime soon unless they realize people don't care about this bullshit right now, we care about the war and the economy.
No! That violin on the deck of the Titanic is out of tune, and it fucking pisses me off!!
...disposing of even any reduced amounts new plants create
An existing coal fired plant produces more nuclear waste than a nuclear power plant. (Trace amounts of uranium in coal gets burned.) On top of that, the waste is belched out into the atmosphere instead of being contained.
The child abduction thing is the canary in the coal mine, methinks. I'm the father of a 15 month old, and if she were ever abducted I'd be going insane. That being said, the media overplays these incidents and hypes them way, way too much. Case in point is the Caylee Anthony case and CNN's Nancy Grace (among others) covering it constantly. It's been the subject of Grace's hour long daily show for MONTHS. That's insane, and completely out of proportion.
I disagree with that sentiment. I'd rather have quality than speed. If it takes them a long time to finish, then so be it. If I want to watch them back to back then that's what DVD/iTunes is for.
That isn't true. They just add an extra hurdle in that users need to be socially engineered in to running the programs
You call it a hurdle. I call it a fence. Same difference. You can choose to jump over a fence, or leave the gate open. Doesn't mean the fence isn't useful.

He had an opportunity to not get elected if he voted against the bill.
It's the opportunities before him when he takes office that I'm most interested in.
Now that's just silly. You'd have to put 1000 foot high windmills on half of the planet's surface to do that. Seriously.
Actually, I'd be happy to store it in my back yard. Now, it'd be 100 feet down, but still. :)

Give the geeks freedom to graze.
You're just a figment of my imagination, so I knew you'd say that.
We have two eyes??
I did not know that!!!1!

Or some people are "signing up and just voting before they spout off."
Or you're a "suspicious twit."

Funny you mention that. How is this ruling different from the Islamic prohibition of images of the Prophet Mohammed?

Here are two great examples of using evolving neural networks to drive game AI:

They're both the brainchild of Kenneth Stanley.

The practical applications exist because folks applied theory to problems.

You could visualize events as swarming butterflies!
You mean if I react to you stabbing me by shrugging it off it should be the same punishment than if I react by dying?
Last time I checked that ain't how it works...
Competition does not require that living beings are the actors. Nor does cooperation. Therefore evolution can act on nonliving systems.
Competition is this: a state where one pattern continues to exist while another does not due to the better pattern's fitness in a given environment.
Cooperation is this: a state where two patterns reinforce their fitness in a given environment through interaction.
Given these definitions, why can't evolution act on nonliving systems?
Open source is competing with closed source in the marketplace of marketplaces. Don't bitch about it. Make your marketplace better...if you can...
