What happened with the splendid republican governance that was protecting the so called economy from the horrible doom of environmentally sustainable living? That's right, they fucked it up big time! I mean goddamn, I hope people would forget the bullshit propaganda of "more oil burned, more standard of living" already.
The thing I have a problem with is that the "let's burn moar oil" folk won't listen to anyone until there is no "scientist" or politician left who disagrees with the climate change predictions. No consensus my ass.
Secondly they won't even consider any prediction until the models will predict with perfect accuracy their local weather at least one year in advance. Anyone in their fucking right mind would realize that's not possible. Thus only way they'll agree is after the I-told-you-sos. It was an unusually cold night last week, let's burn some moar motherfucking oil.
Good old GWB, god bless him, left US out of Kyoto stating that it would hurt their economy. Well as it turned out they didn't need Kyoto to do that after all! I mean who knows, maybe investing all that excess money to proper research of sustainable energy and industry would have saved the world this economic fuck-up.
Nothing like a short lil rant to bump up the global temperature.;-)
If we burned every possible gram a fossil fuel, would that not return Earth's conditions to what they were before the fossil fuels were formed in the first place? If that happened suddenly, it would be rather catastrophic, but not if it took place over many generations of humans.
For the longest time I've wanted to experiment with AI using the approach you stated. I've felt that the AI projects focused on finding a fixed set of "rules" to guide the AI are looking at it the wrong way.
My approach would basically consist of an AI that would: i) constantly attempt to learn new facts by trial and error (hypothesis, validation), ii) categorizing information into sets of objects (think Plato's metaphysics for example), iii) building knowledge of these objects by associating them into bits of meaning.
First step would be to build an AI engine that could categorize input, meditate on it, experiment with new ideas and validate them against its existing logic and knowledge. After that various input methods (senses) could be built: vision, hearing, etc. And why limit to "human senses"? How about infrared vision, recording vision, ultrasound hearing, etc. And of course the mighty internet.
The philosophy behind this would not to make a discussion bot that's waiting for one line of input and then produces a single line of output but rather an engine (a daemon that is) that is constantly churning away. The external link to the user would simply be one input for the AI. That's the basic idea in a nutshell anyway.
Where I live (Finland) 400mg is OTC and prescription is 600-100mg.
The girl could have complained a massive migraine and asked the school nurse (who participated in the strip tease) for two pills. She probably had received them. Would she then have had to strip?
This is one of the biggest cases of WTF I've ever heard of.
I have to agree with you there whole-heartedly. I mean just the other day the wifey told me it was +3C outside, when it was actually much closer to 3.51C. Imagine the discomfort I felt wearing my +3C sweater instead of the appropriate +4C sweater. It was a calamity that I truly hope my american friends will never have to face!
What you're implying is that there is no way that two scientist could invent the same invention simultaneously, without one copying the other. (When in fact this has happened numerous times)
Why is it in your opinion that the other scientist should be unable to profit from his invention?
Well maybe because of the fact that the MCP would be paying for NOTHING. No-one's using Microsoft's product, so why should there be any payments? And maybe because they are calling them partners.
In a way ironic that a guy from rural china comes to play, lives the american dream of wealth and glory, and (partly) causes the most massive failure of free market economics in the history.
If my brother and I agree that we constitute a superior race, and ignore the opinions of anyone not in our little (very little) clique, does our opinion become valid?
If you and your brother close your eyes, cover your ears with your hands and go "LAALALALALLAALALALAAALAALLLAAAA", does it make global warming disappear and cancel the causation that is CO2 emissions and the climate change.
The answer is no.
No it doesn't.
But it would make life for the rest of us easier and enjoyable.
I work 37.5 hours a week (+.5h daily for lunch). I make enough money to make the ends meet. But that's just me. And most of the rest of Europe too, I guess..
Too many people nowadays are workaholics. One of the biggest problems in today's world, IMHO.
Also, creating GDP growth as a nation by working longer hours is not sustainable nor wise (again IMHO).
You know, I'm pretty sure that Toyota's legal department might have actually gone to law school, and thus would understand the difference between copyright and trademark.
I think it's some sort of an initiation rite for the legal department. Bully and intimidate some defenseless group of people by pulling some IPR stuff out of your arse. I bet they are having a good laugh at it at the company sauna right now!
Btw, this is how some believe the DMCA came into being.
Do they still celebrate Lenin as a hero after the crap they endured because of him and his acolytes?
Yes, yes they (or many of them) do. But the sad part is that now they are trying to pass Stalin as not the monster dictator he was but as a strong ruler who did what had to be done. Check out e.g. this editorial from last year on the Herald: New Russian history.

Eeeek, pervert!
Ouch, my eye.

George, is that you?
The quality of politicians often mirrors the majority of the voting population.
How do you explain George W.? Twice!

Yeah, yeah, I get your joke! Coding and rock climbing, that just does not compute!
Though, you are not actually kicking on the ball with your feet in american football, so why it is called football no one actually knows.
And it's not exactly a ball either..
Bill, is that you?
Do not look into the anti-matter beam with remaining eye!

there's not much you can do other than putting a Faraday cage around the speaker,
...how about putting a Faraday cage around the phone instead?
...how about nuking it from the orbit? It's the only way to be sure!
