Food that was able to be grown in certain locations won't be able to be grown there anymore. Maybe it'll be able to be grown somewhere else (necessitating building a new supply chain to the new growth spot) or maybe it won't be able to be grown at all anymore.
This is not new. There are very old historical wineries that are too far north to grow grapes. Now...
No, eons ago we didn't exist, therefore no problem.
You do realize that humans were not as numerous nor did they occupy the same geographic locations in the past as they do now right?
I have to ask because this site is very US centric, and they don't seem to do well with geography and/or earth timelines. (which will probably get me modded down even though both camps complain about the other)
Humans did not even occupy Florida much until the advent of air conditioning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H... And perhaps it will go back to pre 1950 levels...
I thought fracking blasted away a lot of that peak oil crap... Remember that as cost goes up, demand goes down. And, other technologies to retrieve that energy become more viable. At some point, even things like solar become feasible, so you should like that part.
So the same HP that canned its best engineers is a proud sponsor? HP gave up on innovation years ago, so this is nothing more than a marketing ploy and a way to outsource some of its own engineering for a low cost.
No, it is permission to apply a sticker to some switches, and get some press.
Hmm, that's basically everyone that matters with the huge, glaring omission of VMWare. At this point EMC is going to have to decide between being the 'leader' in the field with their early initiative or being standards compliant and interoperating with everyone else. There was a time where Cisco could go it alone in networking and push their own standards, but I don't think they could today and I certainly don't think VMWare has that kind of clout.
The Cisco implementation does not work with anyone else. I am betting HP will do the same. Microsoft would if they had a stake in any hardware, but for them it is just a way to keep HyperV relevant.
Cisco notably doesn't support it except sort of in their own unique 100% proprietary manner, so for 99% of businesses, this is a no-go right from the start.
And HP is different? Looking at the sponsors I just see a big collection of "Embrace and extend" proprietary companies. Cumulus Networks looks a lot more open... http://cumulusnetworks.com/
Al Franken is one of the most intelligent, ethical, fair, and progressive-minded people in the Senate.
Indeed he is, and given his level of sheer stupidity and making his mind up before he has facts, that says a lot about the rest of the Senate, and the People who voted them in.
This was my point in the root post. I guess the point was lost on the moderators, however.
It has been all over the web here too... Of course the news is owned, so it only covers what it is paid to. That is one reason why no one bothers with it anymore.
The golden age of freely flowing information is over.
Why? Nothing is blocked, it is just slower. This sucks for streaming, but streaming is not the only way to share information. Speeds that will not work at all for Netflix work fine on The Pirate Bay... It just requires people to think differently and not stream everything but download it instead. And having a local copy is a good thing.
Funny, it seams to be doing just that. It just started way behind, so it will take a while to catch up. That and the abandonment of density increases on spinning media.

It's not like anyone with a modern smart phone doesn't keep it plugged in all the time anyway. Notice how they do not call them "cordless" anymore...
Unless it gets popular. Then it will just be the one finger wave.
But you will know. They will not be able to listen in without you knowing. That is a big deal.
You just single-handedly killed the entire US tech industry. You murdered trust. No one will ever trust US hardware again.
Not single handedly. The FBI seizing domain names of legal foreign companies, and arresting foreign nationals that never came to US soil sure helped.

Well, I have been hearing about this sea level rise for almost half a century, so get with it already!
Well, there's also the issue of the numerous global financial centers along various coasts.
But I thought Wall Street was to blame for all this?

Dude, for the amount of money paid, I would sure want the whole 62 miles, as well as being serviced orally by an angel.
For the amount of money paid, I would have read the fucking contract! This is less fuzzy than "unlimited" plans, and look how that turned out?
Of, this thread is modfest heaven! I think I have over 20 mod points on my post.

When Al Franken sounds the most rational, things have gotten WAY out of hand...
That dirty girl is the bomb!
Oh, crap! That was supposed to be AC!
At least it is easy to find out if you are flagged. Just try and take a flight. (Assuming they do not misspell your name.)
Yeah, there seems to be an inordinate amount of off-topic or intentionally offensive comments. This problem seems to be getting worse.
Only on new threads. Give it a little time and they are down to -1 and benieth your threshold.
Because the whole fix does not stand a chance of being allowed to work...

Most office buildings in the US do not charge for power.
