The is a real issue in the lack of CAD software and accounting software that is capable. Flame me if you will, but it's true. I remember a time when AutoCAD supported or tried to support just about every OS. Then sometime int the 90's or late 80's they decided just to support windows only. Of course their might be some real high end Unix stuff that will work but lacking millions of dollars to know, I just couldn't say.
I agree, worldwide the standard was better. Allowing the redistribution of wealth to such a small group of people world wide by the US in particular and every one else following that example can't be good. Oh, and BTW I assume you are talking about West Germany because in the east they are probably better off now.
There ought to be ethical standards instead of just counting the numbers in running a corporation. The government needs to play referee for us in that respect but guess who gets elected? The one with the most money donated by corporations of course. Nobody is going even be known without TV adds and that is shameful.
Of course you need that, but it's hard to get into anything else when, oh I already have a routine for that and it will work every time. Matrix math at some point you will need along with the obvious or is it obvious to begin with? I suck at math but not so bad that I can't get the right answer out of a computer except maybe the "theory of everything" and multiverses and things like that. I think you need chalk and a chalk board for that.
Hmm.. then whats the problem with GM trees? I can really see the issue with corn though which IS highly GM and fed to us and burned in everything imaginable. Yuck, cheese made from corn oil and a tiny amount of milk. US housing built from spf and has always been fast growing. Paper, I am not sure, but cutting down trees in Brazil to make cane fields is way bad.
Deforestation is mostly taking place in the rain forests. Hell tree farms were started 100 years ago. The rain forests are where most of the trees are. The oceans are also high on the list of not absorbing as much CO2 as in the past.
It would ruin your life if you live where I do. In Virginia they can even look up how many traffic tickets you have had, credit check you (If your poor they will not hire you), and on and on.
Yeah, it seems like you can search with google even better than using the search from the main site. I can use it to find M$ stuff on their site esier than their own search engine and/or bling.
--No. The people in charge in china have chosen to trade money for clean air that other people are breathing. That's significantly different than what you said.--
It's no different in the long run when the ones in power make so much they can't hide from it. So the difference is irrelevant when the result is the same.
--Actually, there are. There are people who would choose money over clean air any day of the week. All of China has done it for starters.--
I agree and so has the US in different ways.
--The human race isn't immune from natural selection and there's no reason to think that it won't select itself out of existence.--
Yeah, but do we have the right to select everything else out of existence? We may just be capable of doing that some day. Maybe we can already do that. Maybe a little more altruism would be a good thing.
--Regardless if global warming is a problem, we should ALL strive to lessen our effect on the environment.--
It IS a problem and a bigger one that was first thought. Just look at the salinity of the oceans the amount of carbonic acid in the seas and what is happening there. Life is already dying there because of global release of locked up carbon. Let's call it that because a lot of that CO2 is going straight into the oceans. It's not false and it wont kill everything or probably even everybody but even if you read the bible, look at that part where it says a 3rd of sea. That appears to have already happened. What's it going to take to make someone believe it? Does a disaster have to be right on top of them? The reef systems may be gone in 30 years. Ask anyone this stuff who fishes or used to fish for a living.
Even if we fix the problem today, this is going to stick around for tens of thousands of years and the oceans turn most of our CO2 into O2 and lock the carbon. If you kill a high percentage of life there, the problem will only get worse.
If you kill the phytoplankton, well most of the rest of life up here will die right with it. 90% of the earth biomass is in the oceans but no one mentions the affect this may have. Who the hell knows, but it can't be good? So we are heating up the planet along wit dumping massive amounts of CO2 into an environment that can't take much more.
--Saying that this will extend into a tax and, thusly, into a control of your precious bodily carbon is pure, unmitigated FUD. Water is also a taxed substance and has been for much longer: have we proxied water bills into mind control yet?--
How is that, mine comes from a well and is free? If you get town water, you pay for what you use. Just pay for what you use and don't call it a tax. That's the real problem calling it a tax plus the government enforcing this is going to be a total nightmare of letting the big abusers off with lawsuits and such. Remember, when California tried to do that?
--You're working from a flawed premise: that everything government does is inherently flawed, wrong and immoral.--
The only thing flawed about this statement is the "everything" statement. "Most everything" would be closer to the truth. When the government is pretty much run by special interest groups no matter which side wins, what would you call it? A working solution seems so distant right now because of our leadership is lacking.
--And rather than educate those laypeople with a more correct message, you'd rather adopt a different name. If that alone doesn't summarize what's wrong with this whole movement, and why many are suspicious of it, I'd be hard pressed to name what does.--
What does semantics matter but I guess you are right?
--Because government has never started with a small, agreeable maneuver that sounded good and was difficult or impossible to politically oppose, and then added more restrictions and complications, incrementally over periods of time. I mean, it's not like they have a track record of doing this, right?--
Yeah, like hydrogen power created from uh we'll carbon. I'm real sure that this Hydrogen is much better than electric cars;( Those electrics actually more convenient to use. Now we have hybrids that get less mile per gallon than a VW rabbit diesel made in the 80's. The fixes are known and have existed for some time and wont be tough on us, but the government is run by big corporations and big oil in particular. The fact is in 2009 we don't have any better fuel economy in cars than we did in 1985. So that tax thing wont work.
What will work is letting GM and the rest fail. Someone else will come along and make a mint with electrics but you can't produce 2 per day by hand and hope to sell any. The technology is there but no one is giving money to small businesses that know what to do. No, the government is giving money right back to the dealers and we are the junkies. Also, giving less money to those that want to kill us would be a plus too.
The sad thing is that when all of the junkies OD the dealers will be in the same shape and wont escape what's coming either.

It's because Mars is the "Red Planet". Don't you see, it's all marketing.
Damn, we got the biggest and best corn genetically modified of course.

Look for yourself, most if not all programs are just not there. No parametrics, well not even up to 1990 yet compared with commercial software.

How again is this a con?
What about LED displays? There would be no back lighting. Now only if they could be made smaller. Maybe Apple is coming out with a 60" monitor too?
You must be from California because here in VA they certainly can be enforced.
I give up. What about it is worse than DC?
I would say work on HVAC or be a Plumber or Automotive Mechanic. You would make more and go to school less.

I would say it stops a 120fps but I haven't been able to run tests past that point so far.
It was probably just a Sleestack. They failed because they only used logic and couldn't talk plain.
I always heard that pee in the pickle barrel is what gave them their real flavor.
What's in them dollar burgers anyhow? McD's?
--Also, forest fires don't burn down forests.--
Yeah, smoking bears with guns do.
Citation, please? 220 don't sound right. Even 8 seems like a lot.
