    Power Cinema is the biggest crap ever.
    Slow, buggy, idiot interface, just barely 2001 quality.

    Cyberlink has made a dodo, cancel it , or make something that outshines Myth.

    Ironically, MediaPortal has many things that are better, but still sucks. Its slower than dhtml javascript interfaces.
    They should have just written the interface in flash and have it use xml to communicate to the TV Server.

    And they all have poor analogue support (svideo for sattv), either crap interface, or nothing works.

    Duh, reduceds snow falls,even as the temps on some glaciers is colder than before.
    Pure coldness doesnt make snow, you need moisture fool.

    You can also argue that since it snows less, and the glacier weighs less, theres less presure on it from moving.

    But you cannot deny the fact, that its main size is controlled by NEW SNOW, and its still below 0 there.

    Why is there less snow, stupid farmers and dill brains cutting down forests for firewood, and tables.

    Ram is cheap and will get cheaper to the point of being so cheap, that you could afford
    to buy 500gigs of ram for the time it takes for that programmer to take shit on the toilet.

    So wind back to 1989. One hours of McDonalds labour earned enough for how much ram? ($60/meg) 64kbytes of ram?

    Today, that $12-$15 can buy 1Gig stick easy.

    2025, and it could be 15 tb ram for 1hours labour.

    Even $3 embedded devices will have 100s of meg ram to play with.

    So is your personal power bill less than last year, 5 years ago? Maybe since we ditched those 160 watt pentium4s, to core2duos we use less power, but the difference is now used by 4 tb drives and that 48in LCD tv and PVR.

    Check your power companies website, has their production of MW decreased? Call me when you see the company making less watts each year after year. How would they make increases in profits yearly if they sell less product, jack up prices by 5% yearly?

    But if the total energy made/bought is constant, and we can buy that energy cheaper and do twice as much with it, then in my case, it causes more economic activity.

  10. Re:This is why My idea of the goods tax works on Modeling the Economy As a Physics Problem · · Score: 1

    Youre assuming the current levels of CO2 are above the norm, perfect levels. Even if they are above the measured mean for 300 years, they might still be below the perfect planetary levels. And those levels are dictated by logic not men in suits.

    Plants love c02 and grow faster better.

    What should be taxed is if your activity caused any trees/plants to be killed/burned. The destruction of forrests is the biggest harm to our planet, reduced o2 production (maybe thats the cause of more c02 DUHH!!!) and the change in water vapour expiration from leaves in the air.

    The fact Goldman Sachs is the major architect behind carbon trading doesnt matter does it, even if they made billions out of the housing crisis they knew would happen.

    how about a 1 second or .5 second dip into liquid nitrogen, cold enough to kill the bugs, not long enough to freeze your skin because it will boil/vaporize the N to gases. Yes ive seen a friend of mine do a quick splash of N on his hands and it had zero harm.

    Then perhaps after that do a quick .3 second blast with a fireball/flame, side effect being youre hairs are gone, but so are the germs.

    arggg

    look, the reason people write their own stuff, is because the normal stuff wont scale for the same price.

    A custom solution could use 5x less disk space, so if its 50tb compared to 250tb, then one is cheaper
    to keep, backup, verify.

    And bottom line is, managers count money cost first.

    Yeah Oracle can do the same as xyz custom solution, but it would take 5x disk space, 10x more servers, require 15x more POWER.

    50tb can easily bit in one rack fridge, but 250 is starting to require more space/power/yearly costs, hd replacements.

    Its like saying VBasic can still be used to write a quake game, sure but it would be 1fps.

    Maybe its just too easy to make the wrong design/solution in SQLdb, and takes real talent to do it right.

    Not everyone has a spare 50tb to play with to 'try things', or even 250 if 50 isnt enough.
