Simple physics also shows oceans hold less carbon as they heat.
Simple physics also shows if we release all the carbon available in fossil fuels, it would oxidise, and we would have no oxygen to breath.
Perhaps these two small examples can show you simple physics does not encompass the complexity of climate. Simple physics can tell you what is happening on a scale where you know all the forces that are acting. Simple physics dictates the earth should be -15 degrees celcius. More complex physics found the effect of greenhouse gasses bringing the earths temperature to a more livable level (through the carbon ammonia cycle). Have a look at the research on extinctions circa 52 million yeasr ago (if memory serves me rightly). This is our best record of a time with high CO2 levels. Ice cores have been found showing the acidity of oceans causing the prior layer to be eaten away by acid (CO2 is carbonic acid after all). The CO2 levels of that time might not have been caused by humans, but why emulate them, considering the problems it caused then?
Solar output varies on a known cycle. There are minor variations due to sun spots etc, but overall large trends are known. Look up Milankovich cycles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles.
There is little evidence we have affected global climate in the past, because we have enlarged our population greatly in the last 50-100 years. We have a much greater effect now. Also the industrial revolution is recent (comparitively). It has been calculated that 46% of human carbon emissions are still in the atmosphere. There is of course evidence that are affecting the global climate in the present. Mainly a lot of little things....
Is there no way to set a timeout, whereafter it will go into hibernate from standby? Or some way to force hibernate (like shift-click on the standby option?)
As far as I know the only machines that support EFI are Macs. So yes macOS has the advantage if you wish to run on Mactel hardware. Else it's all equal.
The "computers" in older automatic transmissions run on oil pressure through a (sometimes intricate) set of lines. This is really an analog computer, and able to compute which gear to be in at a given time from a number of variables.
All I can say is, wow! I mean, thats anywhere up to about $AUD200K. And that is a ridiculous amount of money. MAybe it explains why a populace can be so wasteful, if money is coming to them too easily. If I got $USD100K in one year, I'd be damn well close to retirement.
Most solar panels are rated to take a 25mm hailstone traveling at terminal velocity. It would be hard to vandalise that. Plus the fact it's on your roof (generally harder to get to).... They'll smash your windows before bothering to vandalise your solar panels.
I think this will sound harsher than I really want it to, but here goes:
Your interest will not be much use to your grandchildren if they can't live on this planet. Also if by not getting solar, you contribute further to global warming, and the seas rise, there is less available land, your food costs increase. Your house maintenance costs increase as well due to harsher weather. Your investment into money, rather than the environment may end up costing you money, just a lot longer term.
I use this successfully. Depending on the file type. But azureus only prioritises the first chunk of the file, just enough to get a thumbnail generally. It doesn't at all attempt to download it in order.
But with MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 I have watched a video before it's complete, it skips and breaks up where it hasn't downloaded yet, but it generally plays. Sometimes if I'd rather watch a show now, and I'm not worried about missing parts, I'll just play it like this.
Now if zudeo was tuned to try as hard as possible to get the file in order, sacraficing the availability of parts of the file, you could stream it.
Thats one thing I appreciated when a friend brought around an apple laptop. Having had my last encounter with an apple PC some years ago, being able to fire up a bash terminal was quite nice. I still couldn't convince it to connect to my samba server though, so he ended up copying files off with FTP. Apparently OSX doesn't like samba being set up with security = share..... I didn't look into it much further.
Advertising makes the big $$$ for good reason:
While economic theory (well as far as I studied it) is all based on a "rational consumer", marketing is based on an "irrational consumer" that will be swayed by your propaganda. Guess what sort of consumer exists "in the field"?
As I understand it you don't report your uploads to the tracker, you report your downloads. And Seeds share info about other peers as well, so you can't fake it unless you control enough peers.
Of course you can always throttle your upload, and see how much you download, but other peers that haven't recieved anything from you, or don't hear of any other peers recieving anything from you aren't going to prioritise you.
Yes they do have parking sensors, hence why I was royally pissed when a fucktard in an X5 backed into my Holden Panelvan. For those not in the know, that is not a vehicle that is hard to spot. Unfortunately parking sensors don't make up for shit driving.
People have replaced batteries in dirtbikes with capacitors for years. Capacitors take the shocks better, and if you kick start, you only really need power once the engine is running. Of course, the length of energy storage, and amount of it, makes it useless for most other applications.
I think we are closing in on the tipping point where capacitors have good enough capacity and length of charge holding to replace batteries in more and more applications.
It's a laptop. Of course it fits in your two seater. Unless your two seater is a skin tight bodysuit for two...... even if it was a motorbike, I've carted a desktop system (including CRT) monitor on a Honda Z50, so it's doable. If you bought a two seater that doesn't have enough luggage space for a freaking laptop, you got royally fucking ripped off. It'd have to be a very *special* two seater. This is really the most insufficient excuse for not doing your bit for the enviroment I have ever heard.
To make anything 'green' a true option, we just have to wait until our environment is so fucked you have no choice but to do something useful with it. Or until copper supplies run out, and everyone recycles because the value of the copper in the device is so high.
Or maybe there will be no garbagemen picking up on bi-weekly rounds, because they can no longer deal with the waste. Instead they will turn up with an EFTPOS machine when you call them in because you really need to get rid of something.
In fact, thats one thing I've been meaning to push to our council, I don't want to pay the land rates that give me such an excessive waste removal service when I don't use it. It should be charged on a usage basis.
According to the article, the russians are already selling yachts with this technology. I.e. if you have the cash, you can buy one now, not vapourware.
3rd party to the sender/recipient, or 3rd party to the postal service and yourelf? if it's the former, then I'm sure it already goes through some minimum wage hands between the sender and yourself. If it's the latter, why trust postal workers more than a company that is staking it's reputation/existance on being good at this?
AS I understand it, when electronic cards were first issued, they were always retrieved from the branch in person. (The bank systems I used to work with still had data fields that indicated which branch to deliver to etc, but rarely used now). I guess someone decided it was inconvenient, so they started posting them out.
Mate, you are forwarding them your mail. You either trust them or you don't. They aren't going to record a video of oyur letters from the moment they arrive to the moment they are shredded (nor is it possible), and you aren't going to watch it if they did.
"TV won't "die" until there's both a viable distribution method to replace it, and an unmarketable remaining audience"
There is probably always going to be a marketable remaining audience, but the viable distribution methods to replace TV are here. Internet downloads, DVD sales. I saw a thourough study on it, and it was found that it would cost advertisers less to send a DVD of a prime time show to every household in Australia (with their advertising added of course) than it costs them to buy a 30 second ad slot now.
If nobody watches TV, there will still be "lost" (perhaps not lost itself, but similar shows). People will pay to download it episode at a time. Or advertisers will "sponsor" it. Or some enterprising company will send DVDs out to every household with plenty of product placement.
There may be a lot more people watching TV than having internet access, but most of them have DVD players. You can do a dual distribution, both online and via DVD mail out.
People generally just channel surf until they find a channel they can put up with. This bad habit will eventually go away.
I find we don't fight over channels, we all decide on something we would all like to watch and sit in the lounge, fire up mythtv. It's usually more a matter of prioritising what order to watch stuff in. Of course if one person really has to watch a particular show no-one else wants to, or one person really doesn't want to watch the show they can take a laptop/desktop and watch what they want on that. This is definitely a rare case, just simply because people like doing stuff together.
In fact now in our house people tend to do other stuff while the shows are actually airing, preferring to watch the shows at a time everyone can watch together.

Would not the fraunhofer institute have beaten them to it? I mean, they had a reference implementation I think?
