I have to maintain a massive communications system written in C++ using the Agile Methodology. The Development environment is Visual Studio [which is not so bad] but the target execution environment is HP Integrity Series running HP-UX so we're cross compiling.. and HP-UX's cross compiler is crap. And since we're not using Microsoft's compiler that means no intelligent code features like "all references" "definition" etc.
And it's written following the (fr)Agile Methodology. Would someone like to donate me a few semi loads worth of comments and documentation?
Except the banks aren't loaning at corporate-lines-of-credit sized levels still due to their continued butthurting from their overleveraging their assets.
basically trickle down economics got us into this mess, and that effects how the recovery has to occur: the banks still can't put out loans because they're still overleveraged - but we need someone offering the loans.
fascism is when corporations control government, and through government everyone socialism is where the government, on the behalf of the public, owns the corporations
nothing wrong with a mixed socialist-capitalist economy (infact such economies are FAAAR healthier than anarchocapitalism [aka laissez-faire]).
that being said the way they're doing this "bailout" is RETARDED -
no, that's socialistic (cue ZOMG socialism, even though you undoubtable know nothing about it) fascism would be the government under corporate control.
im sorry but you simply don't know what you're talking about.
first read up on history: deficit spending for the purpose of economic stimulus during an economic crisis, as well as government take overs of large corporations to prevent them from failing is responsible economic policy: it saved the economy once before.
Or they were aware of his stance on this issue, and dissapointed in it - but when all other issues are brought into the picture he's lightyears ahead of the other candidate for president.
but obviously not. nobody could ever make a decision based upon more than one factor.
Yes i think you have it! All voters are single issue voters.
So... people who oppose warrentless wiretapping like myself had a choice between: A black guy who supports warrentless wiretapping, and a white guy who supports warrentless wiretapping.
damn... cannot vote i guess by your theory./Voted for Obama because despite his moronic position on this he's a vasty better person to have as president than Bush, Et al. Or McCain/Palin
Your entire post is based on a truckload of faulty assumptions. I know people who bought legal D&D PDFs, they're spitting nails. Anyone who likes D&D should be spitting nails.
Hasbro, through WoTC, is not just attacking the illegitimate PDFs but they nuked from orbit all the legitimate ones.
You blabber about DRM - but as someone else pointed out it wasn't users who bought the PDFs that shared them on torrents, etc - it was PUBLISHERS EMPLOYEES: they all had publisher watermarks.
DRM wouldn't have stopped that. DRM cannot stop piracy: it never has and it never will. DRM can only stop technologically inept users from making fair use. Anyone who knows any technologically inclined person (and how many D&D people don't know a technologically inclined person) can get around DRM like the DRM wasn't even there.
Because ammonium nitrate is variable in it's explosive potential based on the grade of it produced which has fairly large tolerances since it's being produced as fertilizer not as a chemical reactant.
Probably that they were testing a myth that requires a high pressure shockwave to have any possible chance of being proven viable... but that's just the education in physics talking...
please return to your regularily scheduled mindless flipping out.
Intelligent Design is not science, therefor it doesn't belong in the science books or classroom.
How hard is that to understand.
This isn't special protection of evolution, it's protection of the integrity of science. It just happens to be those trying to violate the integrity of science are specifically targeting evolution.
I know most people are conditioned to think wealth redistribution only means rich->poor: but it doesn't, it means any reallocation, it also doesn't mean redistributed to everyone.
Tax cuts that overwhelmingly favor the rich (both in terms of % cut and total dollars cut) = upward redistribution. Giving $8 billion grants to oil companies that are in the middle of record profits = wealth redistribution. Many more examples.
We haven't had as great of a wealth disparity in this country as we do now since just before the great depression.
And no.. to your last paragraph not "fair enough": that system is unworkable that is the problem. I wasn't objecting to wealth redistribution as a whole, I was talking about improper and/or counterproductive uses of it. The fact of the matter is no modern economy can work without it, it will collapse. When you redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich such as was being done under Bush then you get things like we have right now: economic collapses: history shows this over and over again but greedy fuckers never learn their lesson.
He didn't rationalize it in the least - he said it was wrong, but he said compared to other things it's not so bad.
And being a few-thousand-dollar tax cheat is nothing compared to being a war profiteering traitor who selectively censored intelligence information from the president and congress to get a war started, a war said president was all too happy to go along with because "that bad guy attacked my dad." (cheney)
being a few-thousand-dollar tax cheat is nothing compared to intentionally perpetrating a massive misinformation campaign to manipulate the american electorate (fox news)
being a few-thuosand-dollar tax cheat is nothing compared to helping strip consumer protections, banking regulations, redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich, etc all leading to the worst economic collapse since the great depression (rescumlicans as a whole).
No... he didn't rationalize or justify it in the least - he simply put it into persepective./we still think intentional tax cheats need to get the boot//not all of them were INTENTIONAL, one of them just didn't realize something he was getting qualified as taxable.. he is the one that told everyone about his error... after he paid off the back taxes... but OH GNOES!! ME MADE A TAX ERROR HE'S A CRIMINAL! NOBODY LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN AND SEE THAT HE PAID IT OFF SOON AS HE REALIZED IT!
yeah because "Extreme leftist" ideas like protecting the environment, protecting your rights, preventing crime, protecting consumers from idiotic megacorps crashing the economy, etc are bad:P
it's easy to make something sound bad by slapping a label on it.. but I have yet to hear anyone who goes around spouting "omg extreme leftist" (of which we have NONE in government in any position of power) actually attack a specific agenda item with a valid argument.
spouting "socialism" (confusing an economic system with a political system, and then not even using it correctly!) is one of the worst offenses of "fear label tossing"
Solar and wind, when used properly, have a lot of promise.
Large floating wind farms at sea are a great option.. large solar farms in the desert are as well as panels on top of every building - especially with the newer better panels.
The problems with this have more to do with intermitten supply than total inability to produce enough.. we can only hope EEStor is being honest with their claims.
in the short term you're right though - nuclear, hydro and geothermal are currently winners in clean energy.
It is NOT a choice between Nuclear and Other clean sources.
It is a choice between Nuclear and Coal.
CO2 is not the only potentially harmful thing released by burning coal. Uranium, Thorium and other heavy metals and radioisotopes. and that's just mining!
onto combustion: How about that fly ash pit that burst in Tennesse a few months ago? How about the Hydrogen Cyanide and Sulfur Nitrate released from combustion? (since we're in a mixed composition atmosphere sometimes the "wrong" things bond) How about acid rain from other Sulfur compounds produced? How about acid rain due to the formation of Carbonic Acid?
Coal and coal waste products, including fly ash, bottom ash, and boiler slag, contain many heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, mercury, nickel, vanadium, beryllium, cadmium, barium, chromium, copper, molybdenum, zinc, selenium and radium, which are dangerous if released into the environment. Coal also contains low levels of uranium, thorium, and other naturally-occurring radioactive isotopes whose release into the environment may lead to radioactive contamination.[8][9] While these substances are trace impurities, enough coal is burned that significant amounts of these substances are released, resulting in more radioactive waste than nuclear power plants.[8]
how is that a whoops.. it's accurate information. A nuclear moderator's job is the absorb neutrons - that is how it controls the rate of the reaction. The more neutrons absorbed the less new atoms get split by neutron impacts, and the slower the reactor "burns" fuel. So by the nuclear moderator becoming more efficient at capturing neutrons at higher temperatures means that higher temperatures force the reactor to slow down burning, thereby brining the reaction temperature back down.

and as I understand it you can specifically buy explosive grade, but you can also buy fertilizer grade which has much larger tolerances
so there is plenty of room for miscalculating effective yield
Because ammonium nitrate is variable in it's explosive potential based on the grade of it produced which has fairly large tolerances since it's being produced as fertilizer not as a chemical reactant.

the current fusion reactors are all experimental.. we haven't succesfully built one that gives more power out than it takes to initiate fusion YET.
