You are assuming they existed long enough to reach a space age. They may have just reached the age of steam then collapsed. The fact they they failed to do something about the incoming asteroid would support this clam.
There is another answer too. If they did reach the space age they might have simply been more tidy about space than we are. Plus a 70+ million years is plenty of time for all orbital space junk to fall back to earth.
If a company has no relation to you, business, personal, or otherwise, then by law you should be able to order them to remove all data from there system that pertains to you.
Even better they shouldn't be allowed to keep it in the first place.
Even then all data after 7 years should have a sunset clause and be required to be removed.
Ahh, nothing like the thrill and the dread on first power up of a new build. Lovingly you put all the parts in, rechecking everything. Then you flip the switch and..... nothing. After a few frantic moments of rechecking everything you realize it would work better if you plugged the damn thing in.
For a workstation I'd save up for a Threadripper though. It's not just the threads, it's the fact that you get so many more PCIe lanes
I was disappointed by the number of pci-e lanes in this chip. Good call on the future expansion capability.
Then they are still idiots. Just because you actually care about something doesn't make it any less shallow or petty. It still just as shallow and petty, and you are just to stupid to notice it.
This and more. The problem I see all the time is a bunch of technological elites coming in and thinking they know best. They think if they just throw a bunch of technology at the problem then it will go away. Africa is a big place. One solution will not solve all the problems. An throwing a bunch of technology at it won't solve it.
An that is exactly what I'm seeing in every post here. A once size fits all. Throw a bunch of books at them or throw a computers. Dig them a well then drop the internet on them. Africa's problems' are African problems. How about instead of assuming we know all the answer, we ask the Africans what they need?
Actually, no you wouldn't need artificial lighting all the time. I don't remember what book I read it in but there was a plan to bring sunlight into building using a variation on fiber optics. Basically it would be a big ass light pipe coming from the ceiling. You would need artificial lighting at night.
An there is where indoor vertical farms start to make a shit load of sense. Think about it. A totally indoor system, you could control the light, the soil, water, and even the atmosphere of the plants. You can tailor each environment to one type of plant.
An more over food growing wouldn't be a seasonal affair. The outside environment would have no effect on growing. Well unless there was tornado or something.
Food would be far more healthy for you too. There wouldn't be a need for any kind of pest control since there are no pests. No need for any kind of genetic manipulation of any kind for pests or weather.
Wastes would be to a minimal too. Everything could be recycled, even the water. Water that wasn't used by the plants could be easily captured and reused. Farming would also take on a lower environmental foot print. Two or three fields or more, could take up the space of just one.
But if had been required to get a license for those weapons in the first place he might not have had them. An you still don't need one.
An here is another problem you seem to be falling into. You seem to think because I want to enact common sense gun regulations, you think I want to take away all your gun rights. Not true. I've not said anything about pistols. I firmly stand by your gun rights to defend yourself. I have a C&C that is legal in 3 states. What so many left wingnuts want to think that polices job is to protect you. That is not their job. There job is law enforcement, not to protect your ass.
Of course nobody wants to make sense. They all want the wild west or star trek. Which to make sure everyone knows, both are fiction.
Rights are not limitless. But you know what? I'm would be more than happy to work with people on this issue.
You don't need a AR 15 but just want one? That is fine. Lets see, you need a special license to own a machine gun. So I think a special license should be in order for a semi automatic rifle too. So there, you can have it but your going to get licensed for it.
Well this would be if rational people would be willing actually try to work on the problem and stop screaming about it.
You know, I expected to get modded down. That is how it works with unpopular speech, and often the truth, here when the sjw get their panties in a wad. I was expecting it to be more along the line of flamebait. But that is fine. I have karma to burn. Since I'm on a roll here I'm going to piss off a few more of you so get your mod points ready.
First the left. You want to ban everything. Someone says something that you don't like you feel its your duty to silence him. God forbid someone has an option that is different from yours. Here is a truth. If you feel you must silence someone at all cost then maybe they have something important to say. If your argument can't stand up to debate then you don't have an argument, you have dogma. This is CNN's mode of operation.
You want to ban all fire arms and strip police of their abilities. Well that doesn't work and will never work. That wont' make the streets or you safer. What it will do is make it far worse because the criminals will not fear the cops any more.
Now the right. If you don't want to hear the other side you don't silence them you just shout them down. Scream louder, so others can't hear what anyone else saying. Foxnews motto. Louder louder louder.
Here is some tough news for all you that like to bang on your second amendment rights. You do not need a god damn machine gun. You do not need a fucking AR-15, AK-47, a bump stock or a god damn banana magazine with 50 rounds in it. Yeah, I've heard the argument "but a AR 15 is nothing more than a hunting rifle with a few cosmetic changes." Well guess what, you don't need a fucking semi automatic anything to hunt most game. An yes, I know what I'm talking. I grew up hunting. To hunt most common game you don't need anything but a bolt action rifle or a pump shotgun. In very few cases, like wild pig extermination, do you need a semi automatic anything.
So there you go. That should piss off everyone. Mod me down. I have the karma!
So what? So do you. I bet you don't include in that list shoot someone, and nether does most of anyone else. Same applies to cops.
It's always bad when a cop takes someones life in the line of duty. Especially bad when it's someone innocent. But if you want to live in a society where everyone has a gun then you are going have shit happen.
There should be no more "I thought I saw a gun" shootings. They should not fire until they positively identify the subject is holding a gun. A knife? Then tasers only. You have body armor, you chose to be a cop. Your duty is to make sure other people go home safe before you do.
You are an idiot. Cops do not wake up with the ideal, "Hey I'm going to go shoot someone." An it isn't like the fucking movies where Dirty Harry kills a 100 people, eats a donut, and calls it a day. When a officer draws his side arm in the line of duty its a major event in his life, and not a good one. If he just happens to have to use it and kill someone then it is a event that will affect him all his life..
Tasers are not the magic bullet to solve every police problem. Tasers are not effect against a target that actively evading and they are useless in a gun fight.
By the time the cops "positively" identify they saw a gun it is usually to late. The subject has already dawn and opened fire. An not like in the movies gun fights are conducted by marksmen. In real life almost all gun fire is "spay an pray," where the subject just starts shooting in the general direction of the target.
Over 90% of these shots miss and unlike in the movies missed bullets don't just vanish off set. The keep travelling till they hit something. An sometimes that something is a 9 year old little girl in her bed room doing her homework.
God damn it, this fucking insanity has to stop. Not only has it impacted my ability to upgrade to a bitch'n graphics card but now they want to poison the air I breath for this shit?
Complete agreement. We're highly unlikely to solve everything via carbon offsets. We need to transition in general carbon neutral power systems. Unfortunately, while some places are doing a pretty decent job on this, some places, especially India and China, are very much not so. However, there are ways one can help out there as well.
There, fixed that for you. Your original premise is completely wrong. The US and Australia are actually leading the way in renewable energy production. Google and Apple just went 100% renewable with their energy use. Other US companies are looking do the same.
Despite what Lord Trump has said about coal, its use in the US is on the way down. Fewer coal plants are being built in the US than ever before. California, one of the few things they do right, is a good example of environmental clean up in the US. As little as 10 years ago there where some cities in CA that where unfit to breath in.
On the other hand China and India are ordering more coal plants be built than any other counties. China is taking a look at scaling back coal use but still major cities in China are simply unfit to live in because of pollution. Africa is scheduled to become major problem in the next ten years too as more power is needed to provide for their growing economies. Coal is the only source of fuel for Africa that is cheap enough for them to exploit.
So your innuendo that the US and Australia are the worse is clearly misguided. There is still room for improvement but these two countries are not the problems you assert them to be.
Yeah, except in addition to commercials, I also have to endure all their "sound effects SOUND EFFECTS sOuNd EfFeCtS" and the ramblings of some obnoxious DJ telling me the "funny" story of how they were filling up their car this morning and SPILLED GAS ON MY NEW SHOES HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Oh my god this and a bowl of fruitloops. I don't turn off radio so much for the commercials as I do the fucking Dj and other annoying shit they stick in. Morning shows are the worse. I drove across town one morning, 45 minutes and didn't hear one song. Nothing but morning dj's rambling on about what ever they through was important. Which none of it was. The it was "Bong Bong Bong" every 5 fucking minutes.
All this announcement means is: They think they can game the system.
I can promise you that is what it means. People like Soros don't see it as something that can benefit everyone. Right now all they see is a way to increase their own personal money and power. It is just another tool they can use to accomplish this.
Personally, I think bitcoin and its like is nothing more than a ponzi scheme and will collapse sooner or later. But with Soros and his like getting involved, that will lend it a air of legitimacy. Which will only make the collapse so much bigger when it does happen. Only now fuckers like Soros will walk away with a fat bank roll while so many other people will be left destitute.
To bad someone can't figure out how to game Soros through this and empty a few of his bank accounts.
Don't sweet it. It took me 2 or 3 times to actually make it all the way through it. That was 10 years ago. I've not been able to bring myself to watch it again. There is no way you can make it through that movie with out being affected by it emotionally.
Slashdot Mirror
Glass doesn't rust but over time environmental forces will turn glass back into its sandy components.
But where is the space-junk?
You are assuming they existed long enough to reach a space age. They may have just reached the age of steam then collapsed. The fact they they failed to do something about the incoming asteroid would support this clam.

Loads of PCIe lanes
64 PCIe lanes.....
I am interested to see how you would enforce that.
I'm open to suggestions.
If a company has no relation to you, business, personal, or otherwise, then by law you should be able to order them to remove all data from there system that pertains to you.
Even better they shouldn't be allowed to keep it in the first place.
Even then all data after 7 years should have a sunset clause and be required to be removed.
I planned out a new PC build yesterday
Ahh, nothing like the thrill and the dread on first power up of a new build. Lovingly you put all the parts in, rechecking everything. Then you flip the switch and ..... nothing. After a few frantic moments of rechecking everything you realize it would work better if you plugged the damn thing in.

I was disappointed by the number of pci-e lanes in this chip. Good call on the future expansion capability.
I'm in the market for a new cpu. AMD's timing couldn't be more perfect.
Then they are still idiots. Just because you actually care about something doesn't make it any less shallow or petty. It still just as shallow and petty, and you are just to stupid to notice it.

Hell Yeah on the Altered Carbon and Stranger Things.
21 if he is in the shower.....
Well then he should just drop the numbering plan all together. We should name kernel releases after porn stars. Cindy, Tammy, Candy....

So hell yeah, It makes all kinds of sense.
But if had been required to get a license for those weapons in the first place he might not have had them. An you still don't need one.

Need should be relevant, and you don't need one.

Who uses Yahoo any more? After that big ass data breach I figured most smart people would close any accounts they had there.
So what? So do you. I bet you don't include in that list shoot someone, and nether does most of anyone else. Same applies to cops.
