The "earth first" crowd will shoot themselves in the foot if this takes hold and they do the research
without lying. Once the data is collected they can all call a press conference and say
SHAZAM! Goooollllllllyyyyyy! We was wrong about this global warming/climate change.
It really is the sun that warms up the planet, melts the polar ice caps and makes polar bears stranded
on small icebergs. Man had nothing to do with it. Who would have thought something SO HUGE with
SO MUCH SOLAR output could cause the earth to actually warm up, without man getting involved.
If anyone seriously takes the information on Wickipedia as "fact", if they are a (so called) journalist, they
need to be flogged. Most of the things you find on the wicki site are at the mercy of whomever put it there,
not backed up with FACTS.
But, since we are talking about a conservative, it's fair game to trash. Now, since Obama is "the one", his
wicki site is probably watched like a hawk, or locked down. I think all politicians wicki sites should be removed
or locked down because trolls love to cause problems, and the general apathy of the American public.
Most Americans, sadly, get more worked up over who is sleeping with whom, or the latest American Idol standings,
than what the IDIOTS in DC are doing to us.
I always get into discussions with my customers (30+ year photocopier/printer/computer tech) about their machines, and printing
resolution. 99% of the time, I tell them just to print word docs in draft mode, and save the toner for something else, and print in
a lower resolution. Most of the time the stuff they print ends up in the shredder in the first place. For some odd reason, they think
they need to print 600x600 in photo quality all the time. Yeah, good for my business since they use more toner, but kind of stupid
and wasteful. With the crap paper most people try to shove through a modern copier these days, they are lucky it prints in the first
place. Why someone wants to run the cheapest paper, then ends up throwing enough of it away in paper jams, to justify running the
better paper is another one that makes you scratch your head. Paper got "cheap" in the mid 80's and hasn't been the same since.
They run dual purpose paper, that is meant to run in ink jets & photocopiers, then leave the stuff sitting in a non climate controlled
area (warehouse) and complain when it comes out curled because it has sucked up enough moisture to fill a cup of water.
End users....well, if it wasn't for them I guess I wouldn't have anything to do, but come on people, use a LITTLE common sense will ya?
Ever notice these so called "scientist" never include the #1 reason the earth warms or cools?
The output (or lack) from the sun? When we are in an "up" period of sun activity, we get warming.
I remember in high school in the 70's, everyone in the dead of winter was worried about a new ice age.
Now we are worried about warming. Also, these same so called "scientist" take data from only what,
100-200 years? And, in the course of EARTH HISTORY, that is what? 1-2 seconds in the time of the
history of the earth?
More anticapitalist antiprogress idiots, who have an axe to grind, more BS from the same scientist who
receive their funding to continue this garbage from government, who wants to control everything & everyone.
Booting? Who boots their computer? I'm like a lot and on a UPS at home, and boot? I might boot once a month, if that.
If I need to boot, I'll grab something from the fridge, take a bathroom break for the 1-2 minutes it takes to reboot.
The minor boost I would get from a SSD pales in comparison to the SPACE I would benefit from...for now. If/when the price
gets down to the mechanical drive pricing per gig, I'll give it another go, but for now, I'll take the space over speed.
I'd really like to say what I think of the U.N. (useless nations) which really
can be said in mixed company. If the UN wants control over something that
the U.S. started, they can go build their own internet. If the U.N. gets control
over the DNS, you will start to see massive censorship of the internet, things that
the "UN" thinks shouldn't be on the web will be blocked.
NO! If the UN wants control, build your own d*mn internet! Personally, I'd love to
see the UN kicked OUT of the USA, and placed somewhere else.
Aside from the Apollo 13 problem (which had nothing to do with the Saturn launch vehicle), the flight record of the
Saturn V launch system was PERFECT. Those "steely eyed missile men" who built the thing developed a perfect
launch vehicle. Then, the shuttle came around and boom...it was dropped.
Funny how they are revisiting something from 50 years ago. Let's see...what other OLD hardware still works.
1. incandescent light bulbs
2. Internal combustion engine
3. The Browning/colt M-1911
4. The B-52 bomber
Just because it is OLD, doesn't mean it "just works".
As a kid in the 60's, living within an hour of a couple SAC bases, it wasn't uncommon for fighters to cut loose above Mach1, making the
huge storm windows on our house shake and making my mom yell.
The public, not wanting the shaking/breaking of windows was one of the downfalls of supersonic commercial flight, along with the
cost. Boeing, North American, Douglas and several manufacturers made a few prototypes of supersonic transports, but the expense,
fuel costs & public not wanting the BOOMS overhead, pretty much doomed it. Then, I think to make sure the British-French Concorde
failed in the USA, they restricted supersonic over land, which means, the flights pretty much terminated at JFK.
Your really have to LOOK to find something to watch on those channels, unless
you like watching two guys pick through junk, a bunch of people trying to unload
crap at a pawn shop, a bunch of guys saying "shoooot em". I might find 1 show
a week that isn't a so called reality show. Yes, I know why they produce them,
it's CHEAP, and apparently there are enough people that want to watch that junk.
I use to tune into the HISTORY channel to learn about "old stuff". I hate how they
changed their stupid tag line to "history is made every day". Ok, then change the
name of your network to "the stupid reality channel".
I know a lot of departments that double cuff some, and, black box the links in between if they are the hinged types. The hinged types are a little
harder to work with, since you can pivot your hands as easy as with the ones that have the 3-4 chain links. The steel box goes between
them and covers the area where the key fits.
On a personal note... just stick an explosive on the cuffs, and if they are unlocked, it explodes with enough force to sever the veins in the
wrist and let them bleed out...after 1 or 2 die trying this, it will stop most of the others from trying;)
Warren Buffet? The "darling" of the leftist like Obama?
A CEO who cuts staff? Oh, but he's a buddy of Obama, so that's ok.
Heck, you can tell most paper conglomerates have cut staff. Just look
at any of the Gannett organizations sites. The articles appear to have been
put together by high school students, no fact checking, spell checking or any
other sentence structure. Dead tree papers are a dying breed. The sooner
they go the way of the doh-doh bird, the better. When my generation dies off
(50's and older), that will pretty much spell the end of em. Some papers like
my local, have a PAY website, but it's a joke. You can view 20 articles "free"
then they want you to shell out 10 bucks a month to view the site, but, their
I.T. department isn't smart enough to run a website & it is easy to bypass and
view anything you want, at any time.
I'm surprised some ambulance chasing troll hasn't tried to sue all phone manufacturers under
the ADA bill. Heck, they'll sue at the drop of a hat for less.
Why not use robotics, to first explore, have robotics set up a "camp", enviro structures etc,
THEN have man explore if needed. Probably 3/4 of the cost of manned space flight is making
sure the delicate humans don't die. Send everything they need, have it setup BEFORE they
get there. Still expensive to send a human to explore something a robot can pretty much do,
but if you want to use humans, I think it would be better to do it that way.
Granted, they can still triangulate your position with the towers, but only within the sphere of the towers. GPS on
the other hand can pretty much narrow that down to within 1 acre or less.
It is an INFORMATION place. It's not suppose to look like a flippin itunes/app store.
It's a "virtual" dictionary, so to speak, so just flat leave it alone.
He's one of the people responsible for killing digg, but scamming the system that "dug up" the stories.
Between that, Kevin Rose's ego, the V4 design, the trolling, political bias of stories "dug up", it drove
a lot of people away. When I saw they were sold for only 500k, you have to know those that stood to
make a huge amount of money when they were suppose to be worth 200 million have to be just slapping
their heads doing the Homer Simpson DOOHHAHH sound.
I don't care for about 70% of the garbage, in my opinion, that is on the net, but, I would fight to the death to remove it by force.
If there is something in print, tv, radio, movies, internet that I don't like, I know this sounds kind of kooky, I JUST DON'T VIEW IT!
If parents would self censor their darling little brats, this wouldn't be an issue. Getting the mooslims and others involved...just ain't
gonna end well.
Since this was a WASHINGTON DC area airport, it was probably done with inferior products, kick backs to the contractors, union thugs, government officials. Also, MOST airports are using CONCRETE because it LASTS LONGER.
You look back now, and from the 40's to the 60's, considering we (those with nukes) really didn't know what they were doing,
it's a wonder we didn't blow up each other or the world LOL.

It will kill the summer time tradition of girls having a "bikini car wash". Oh the humanity!

We send a robotic ship up, snag a comet, and plunk it down into the middle of the dessert! INSTANT WATER! LOL.
With all the HOT air coming out of that town, should be enough to power every turbine in the USA LOL.
