Just think about that for a bit. Those farms near you are now worthless. Who's going to pay for that? More banks go bust?? Who is going to employ the workers. How are you going to pay for the food you now have to import.
Why are they worthless? There are crops both south and north of me. Different crops, but crops. The cost will be changing over from corn to fruit., and so on. There will be some moving as well. Some farmland will become desert, and some desert will become farmland. I would not be surprised if the large farming conglomerates have a plan for this.
It has nothing to do with datapoints and isn't saying anything, other than ICE IS GOING AWAY
In summer too. Imaging that. It is, however, implying that it it going away faster and further then ever before. Which is true for a very small value of "ever" in a geological time scale.
That was a very insightful post. To bad many mods won't read past the first paragraph. They will never get the irony of "the meme calling someone else a meme" being modded insightful and the reasoned reply still being -1 Overrated. Sigh. Now which batch of mods will hit me first?
Why would the price of food go up? We will have that new Greenland orange crop...
In all seriousness, I think the climate is much more resilient than most alarmists are saying. We have had both much hatter times and much cooler times, and nothing tipped over then. The farm belt may move a lot closer to the pools... And with Canada as the new farm belt, the US corn subsidies may be less of an economic drain. (The out of work framers near me are another story) In other words, the change will suck for a lot of people and be a boon for a lot of other people. Just like most major change.
Not that long ago, a black man sitting at a lunch counter made a lot of customers uncomfortable. And denying him service was found to be illegal. The constitution never guarantees a total lack of discomfort.
IF this succeeds, and someone actually creates something useful like this, this will create instant wrath of the governments over 3D printers and their supplies.
Supplies? You mean old coke bottles? This is one genie that is WAY out of the bottle.
No the problem is that it is really single task oriented. It takes extra work to have multiple windows and to divide things by workflow as opposed to application. It may come as a shock to the Gnome devs, but not every web browser should be grouped together under one workflow.
I would definitely agree with system administrators and hard core programmers taking the latter explanation. On the other hand, for a regular desktop user who maybe has two or three apps open at most, the UI probably is easier and more intuitive. At least that is what the various groups that have actually done tests on the UI have come to the conclusion.
Also network admins, accountants, graphic designers, business annalists, and anybody working with multiple sets of data. Essentially, anyone that can benefit from dual monitors.
It is not how it looks, but how it works. It is designed around using a single application at a time, and it is no longer workflow based but application based. Some workflows are more than one application... And if you have two separate workflows with some web browsers in them, you can not split those workflows... In other words, it simply does not work the way some people work. And the devs just don't care about those people. That is fine, but they should not be surprised when we don't care about them either.
Poke an animal or a person, with a sharp stick, and see what kind of reaction you get - it won't be a smile and a "Let me do whatever it takes to help you...". Instead it will be similar to what this guy saw, by metaphorically poking the bureaucrats that are the TSA and airline security crowd with an offensive-to-them shirt.
As a doctoral candidate, he should be intelligent enough to hypothesize this sort of reaction, yet when that is exactly what happens, he gets all huffy. No sympathy from me, for being a dumbass and now getting whiny about it. Man up, Arijit, stop being a whiny puss.
Should the TSA and airline security be what it is now? IMO, hell no, it is doing no good, it is pointless, security theater. But that doesn't change that this person got pretty much what anyone with a lick of common sense would have guessed would be the sort of reaction one could expect. Newtons Law, and all that...
He was standing up for his rights and mocking a reviled government agency. And they let him past! It was Delta that bounced him and pitched a fit. Yep, Delta screwed him over because some people were uncomfortable. Never flying Delta...

Now if Monsanto will just stick thing in their corn, it will make for a happier world!
Also, at that time, there was no animal that could create an artificial climate... Or move plants to accommodate the temperature change.

Wrong pun... You need a cape for hatter(as)...
Yeah, but 30 is longer than any history to a lot of people on slashdot... :)

OK, I was thinking "Heat? Go to the pool." But I meant to type "closer to the poles."

...if there's one thing the world needs more of, it's guns.
The world may not, but some of the voiceless people in it do. The one thing a dictator fears the most is a populace that can shoot back.

Way to ruin a good project by turning it in to a weapon.
Why do we allow Texas to still exist, again?
Sorry, but in Texas we do not need printers to own guns.
People need to stop using PayPal ...
As if people need yet another reason to stop using PayPall. Although, I guess they do!
It is kinda funny watching people scramble to change sides for this issue. :)
Anyone can get a gun in Mexico right now, and they have restrictive laws and few repraps...
Also, God help us if this ever became a reality.
Because no criminals have guns now. And just buying one on the black market will never be easier than learning on to make one yourself...
Just be careful if you go there; there's a lot of crazy shit that goes on.
Naa... Most of the crazy shit only goes on in that one court in east Texas. The gun shows are much more sane.

Read the stories. He did remove the shirt. And Delta still kicked him from the flight.
RTFA. TSA didn't do it. Delta did. The TSA passed him, and Delta pitched a fit.
My god, that is a mess. And another reason why I just drover over 2000 miles for my last vacation.
