exactly why im trying so hard to get out of IT. I've been in IT coming up on 20 years. Who wants to be the scape goat and take the blame all the time? Do the executives think I'm a toady? I realized awhile ago that I am a paid bitch and that is never going to change the way management trends are going.
Besides now that computers are as normal as a phone they are a tool that we innovator types can use to take things to the next level. The internet has opened the door to so many new professional and the permutations of combining those professional with the technology and sharing of vastly new ideas.
Abandon computers, it isnt where the action is anymore and unless youre a toady or masochist, have a little respect for yourself. Go into a profession again where people respect you and what you do.
But maybe she likes being sexed like that. How do you know the dog isnt a nympho? Did you ask it?
Come to south florida where if you see an animal crossing the road people aim for it! Sure keeps the feral animal populations down. The one i really cant comprehend is with all those chickens roaming around wild in miami why i see so many starving cats.
native plants thrive. invasive species are butchered in hurricanes. thousands of australian pines were slaughtered in hurricane andrew both from their inability to handle high winds and their susceptibility to salt spray.
a flourescent tube held up by a tesla coil. The increased output of the sun right now is charging the earth and pouring more charged particles down upon us. Is it any wonder we have more hurricanes with the earth trying its best to redistribute that extra energy?
This is something i know a good deal about

Controlling Hurricanes?

since i relocated from los angeles to homestead, florida the site which was ground zero for hurricane andrew in 1992.
firstly, without hurricanes this place will rot. sediment builds up, pesticides, fertilizers from agricultural runoff, etc. or just waste. hurricanes are a cleaning process and an evolutionary pressure on this area. invasive species are killed off in hurricanes easily while nonnative plants thrive. the stir up of sediment in the ocean which hurricanes then dispurse to the sea allows the coral to grow closer to the shore which is currently being pushed out farther and farther due to pollution. at least florida needs hurricanes or youll watch the everglades die.
secondly, hurricane damage on this scale only happens once. it happened here in 1992 with andrew. it was a whole bunch of trailer parks before that. i have talked with coworkers quietly in miami who say it was the best thing to happen because it was such a dump and now everything is brand shining new. i live in one of those new complexes. when katrina came by us as a strong category 1 our complex had almost no damage at all but surrounding cities were flooded. see my pictures at http://www.cixel.com/photos/katrina/ wood construction down here is illegal now. if the gulf coast rebuilds with concrete block (and concrete roofs) they will never have a problem again. you could throw a category 5 at our complex and it wouldnt flinch. also all the vegetation is nonnative so as much as it will get beaten and thrashed about it will recover and also not create alot of flying projectiles. new orleans is another matter, the area below sea level they should abandon.
What im saying is though. this scale of damage only occurs once. with modern building techniques this sort of thing is a problem of the past. how often do you hear puerto rico whining about hurricanes and they get hit by them all the time?
it being a more general geologic attribute of matter.
Take a look at calcium for example. Have you ever noticed how coral skeletons share ALOT in common with limestone formations in a cave? It's just the structure calcium follows, perhaps the corals just take advantage of this fact and nurture it's natural crystalline form to create their skeletons. Some formations in caves are so spot on that they refer to the formation as 'cave coral'.
the probe brought back. There are water ice pebbles everywhere.
You could extract the oxygen and hydrogen from the water ice pebbles or merely use it for drinking water or growing plants.
Electricity and heating would be supplied by the frozen natural gas present EVERYWHERE.
You just get the fire started and use material for insulation and you could live there and grow vegetables under metal halide lighting from the generators burning natural gas.
Of course you could do all this but it wouldnt be very interesting. Titan is almost pitch black to the human eye. You'd have to bring a flashlight everywhere making things really creepy. There would be very little to explore, it would be about as interesting as exploring ice caves in antarctica. It would be interesting to see if you could sail on the hydrocarbon lakes though but try sailing with a flashlight.
What benefit would living on titan be other than to say we did it?
The only benefit i can see to this is to mine the moon via a assembly line of robots picking up and dropping off shipments of hydrocarbons to earth. But we would be changing earth's atmosphere with unpredictable results as we'd be adding even more greenhouse gases and carbon to it.
The only use i could see to living on titan would be as a hydrocarbon miner. Theres really no other reason of interest to be there.
if you live with a constantly higher radiation level your body adjusts within a certain range and switches into a mode where it can repair a greater level of constant damage. The real injury occurs when radiation levels suddenly spike without your body having a chance to gradually adapt to it.

Do you know how many of those useless projects were paid for by the national science foundation?
Where is the growth? Where are the jobs so they can tax us? Everywhere I go i see people desperately clinging to their jobs both in california and now here in florida.
Why is it in the peak oil discussion noone brings up the concept of breeder reactors? you can make endless more fuel with breeder reactors enough to run the whole world on nuclear power. you can then save all that other oil for all our consumable goods made of plastic.

some Bible verse that talks about the seas boiling?
download a copy of sessionsavor for firefox. they got it working with the newer versions again. that should help. good luck on the lotus notes though.

I admire him. Anything bad that happens to that filthy whore the better. I'm not one to encourage the moral degredation of society.
it reboots your system for you. really pissed me off how many times i lost work to it.
who would i email at yahoo? im not sure theres a way to contact them. ive tried in the past.
My girlfriend and I use it constantly to make lists and keep notes.
They better not be phasing it out. I'm a paying subscriber and would drop the service for certain.
What would be even better would be if you could have shared notepads. We've wanted that feature for a LONG time.
be surprised

Probably torrential lightning.

your result is a radioactive hurricane.
can extract it from the water ice. all you need is a small amount in the beginning to start the fire.

is the new fire, we've only recently understood how to avoid being burned.
The earlier technologies were like playing with matches, the newer stuff like pebble bed reactors are like a small campfire.
We're getting there, gradually.

why cant we put some sort of probe by the sun that captures the energy given off by the plasma and beam it back to earth as microwaves?
i just got out of a job where i was in the exact same situation and i agree with you entirely.
