You don't get the sacrifice? Let's say your electric bill at least triples. How about 12 dollars for a gallon of gas? This is what it will take to get any real change that will make any difference. I'm trying to tell you that a 5 percent reduction in carbon footprint is like spitting in the ocean. To really make people cut out excess power usage it will have to hurt. People aren't going to turn off the A/C and open the windows unless their power bill becomes unbearable. They aren't going to stop joy ridding and making trips here and there or carpool and take the bus unless it's impossible for them to avoid it. The soccer moms aren't going to get rid of the SUV's unless they can't afford to operate them. The reason everyone lives the way they do today is because they can. If your electric bill is 1000 dollars a month you'll turn off the A/C and every other item you don't need. All those little clocks on every damn appliance? Gone. Quadcore computer running 24/7 along with a modem and router? Gone. It'll be turn on the computer, do your homework, turn it off. This might help things if everyone in the world gets on board. But if all we're going to do is a little feelgood crap so some politician can feel like he's making a show then we might as well go on having a good time. That's what I'm trying to say. Either do it right or don't fucking bother.
I knew when I was a kid that the iodine was added for thyroid health. I remember asking my Dad about it after sitting at the table one day staring at the little girl in the raincoat on the Morton salt box. He grew up in the 30's so I guess they heard about it back then.
You think so. You really think the majority of Americans are willing to make that huge a sacrifice? I don't see many people willing to give up the standard of living they've grown accustomed to. You know those Republicans you don't like? They get elected by lots of people that make less than 100 grand a year. They vote like their constituents want on major issues. Not things like the DMCA and the PATRIOT ACT that 90 percent don't give a shit about but things like Gun Control, Abortion, and other push button issues that divide the country. If you'll take the time to look Big Oil actually gave more money to President Obama than they did Mitt Romney. I'm sure when Miami is flooded we might get a little more public outcry but by then it'll be too late. And really, who's gonna miss Miami?
The problem is that with all the government regulation in place now the government actually is running it but through extremely expensive middle men who cripple it even more. At least if it became a public utility we could get greedy cocksuckers like AT&T and their buddies out of the loop.
I think most newbies just use the hand dandy printer wizard. I set up Ultimate Linux for one guy and he later bought a printer. He called me about what to do with the cd that came with it and I told him to pull the pdf off of it and then throw it away. I explained to look for the picture of the printer on the settings menu and about 2 minutes later he was happily printing away. Even I don't use cups page anymore. I will say that if you own a canon printer it prints about 3 times faster on a mac than on linux. I love the printer but I'm starting to hate canon. Next printer will be from HP. Canon can suck my dick.

Interesting that Murder basically went unpunished even though it was openly admitted to. Bizarre. Blowing up a ship in a foreign harbor used to be considered an act of war.
It seems we've had Sauron in charge for some time now. He looks different, Old white dude, Hick white dude, Goofy white dude and Smooth black dude. Different looks, same old Sauron. The all seeing eye.
Get real. The world isn't going to change just because you want it to. Everyone thinks someone should do something about global warming but only a tiny percentage do. The thing is, to make a dent in the problem will require that everyone sacrifice. I'm not talking about cutting the thermostat up to 78 degrees I'm talking getting rid of air conditioning period. A serious cutback in power usage on the order of over half what we currently use. Gas needs to cost about 12 to 15 dollars a gallon so that people don't use it except for absolute necessities. Air travel for casual usage needs to go. Without truly drastic changes in how we operate your just pissing in the wind. This needs to happen worldwide. A slight reduction in carbon footprint is a joke and only draconian measures get any meaningful improvement. By the time things get bad enough to get any real public action it's going to be already past the tipping point. So yes, we're fucked. Accept it or fight it. I wouldn't recommend purchasing a seaside home anywhere and pretty much forget Florida real estate as an investment. If you mean people like me as in a realist then yeah, we're almost extinct. Enjoy your fantasy where suddenly the human race wises up and does what's right for it's future generations. I like the idea too but I just can't see it.
Oh my wife doesn't care what she runs Excel on. She's currently using it on a Macbook and perfectly happy with it. To her a computer exists just to run Excel and to log in to Facebook.
It is all irrelevant anyway. I fully believe it's getting warmer, the seas are rising, and man is a significant chunk of the cause. So what? The fact is that to make any real difference will require people to drastically change their lives and their standards of living. Even if we do so it may not make any difference. Even if you get everyone in the US on board that's just 300 million people. How about the third world that is just starting to develop? How will they bear the costs of reducing output of greenhouse gases? What about China? India? The whole world has to agree and it has to be fair and that's not ever going to happen. So you can bitch about the water rising if you want but I'd sell my seafront property if I was you. Baring some radical change in the World's political outlook in the next couple of decades I think things will keep rolling like it is. Of couse if nuclear weapons keep spreading then we may get some relief. I figure a nuclear winter should bring a lot of cooling on. Maybe a short little ice age.
I'd like to see the papers that ran those lies as fact sued also. I can understand the original stories perhaps but once the truth became fully known they had an obligation to sensationalize that just as heavily as they did the original lie. Instead they were strangely quiet about the fact they were taken in and little was said about it. This is where their responsibility for the deaths begins.
Actually one reason they went to smaller bombs is because they're more effective. Two 500 Kiloton bombs actually do more damage than one 1 Megaton bomb.
I am 53 and love ebooks. It's fabulous to have every book I own on an SD card. I've gotten rid of several hundred pounds of old books that I had stored as I have replaced almost all of them with electronic copies. Stripping DRM is childishly easy and I can read them on any device I own. I tend to mostly use a Samsung 5" media player with FBreader installed. It's about the same size as a page from a paperback book and is comfortable to read in everything but direct sunlight. It fits in my pocket and the battery power lasts several days. I haven't actually read a paper book in over a year. I need a larger tablet for magazines however.

It's a representational government.
It's not that bad. It's really only a gram and a half.

What's Israel got to do with it? Are they spying on New Zealand citizens too?
I love.....Big Brother!
That shouldn't cost much.
Somebody has to listen in to all those boring phone calls.

You still have the right to breath. I think there's a tax coming for that though.
That's the problem. We're all human. Insane by birth.

The ones they dropped on the Japanese are about the same yield as tactical warheads now. It's so much easier to destroy than it is to build.

It's too easy to strip the DRM. After I buy something it's mine. The publishers can kiss my ass.
