even worse, a lot of the time the first guy to stick his hand up with a solution is the one people run with. no one stops to consider doing the first knee jerk thing people think of is going to be worse then the do nothing option.
This is a classic "smart people are so dumb" moment.
I'm sure this guy is brillant, but he's approached the problem in such a one dimensional way that it's painful. I suspect he's not interested in ever implementing the idea, but the danger is some pressure group or politician might come across it and think it's the best thing since sliced bread.
" I just want everyone in power to pull their dicks out of our asses for a year or two, so that we can have a chance to recover from all their fucking "solutions." "
best comment ever. if you ran for president, i'd seriously vote for you. part of the american problem is this demand for action on every issue, people don't seem capable of saying "you know what, it's not really that big of a problem, lets just do nothing".
your words are wasted because their nothing more then an emotional rant.
No one ever seems to be able to approach this subject with a cool head (ha ha). perhaps if you distilled your arguement down into something like a sensible arguement adressing actual points, instead of a diatribe about underground rivers and my house flooding.
your points about oil companys being apposed to alternative power is complete bullshit btw. BP are one of the biggest manufactures of solar panels, chevron are heavily invested in geothermal. energy companys don't care where their profits come from, they aren't emotionally invested in one outcome like you.
actually it's not shell, Exon or Mobile that are the CO2 emmiters, it's people like you driving their car to work and using electricity. so feel free to revolt against modern convienence anytime.
i cringe when ever i hear about hair brained schemes to cool the planet. If people are honest, we don't even have a handle on what the current temperature trends mean or how they will play out or whats REALLY causing them. they have a hypothesis that it's CO2.
Shouldn't the 911 operator taking the call be well trained enough to know what's life threatening and whats not? this culture of "the computer will do the thinking for us now" needs to stop.
it's not hard to do this now under windows api's. it's just that no one does. maybe if university comp sci and IT degree's joined the 21st century you'd have more graduates that knew this.
well, i mean make as MUCH money as having a product to sell. and no duh society has no goal for any industry past providing the goods and services society demands. the difference with agriculutre is that a farm can be run be unskilled workers where IT requires a much much higher degree of skill, and where machines took over the manual labour in agriculture the same is not going to be true for IT - your going to need MORE people working on ever more complex software since there's nothing to take out the grind from programming etc.
unions are a bunch as big a bunch of crooks as i've ever seen. some rep's aren't too bad, most don't get the basic concept of "if the business fails, then were will your people work". they always think that management are hiding profits in some secret bank account.
some rep's who were blooded in the 80's are just fucking retarded. they think everyone needs to pay union dues or they shouldn't work, and that they have the right to run the country.

the other problem with making the sea acid with bubbling devices is it fucks my trump card - live under the sea homer simpson style.
not only that but corn and wheat would benefit exactly the same as the dandelions. guess you didn't really think your statement through.

injecting CO2 into the air is an old green house trick, so it is a limiting factor (not as great as not enough water or fertilizer though)

so your saying one day we will have oceans of sprite? cool.

try making an actual post next time.
so why is it a problem that the computer had a bug in it's logic? or is this just more wozerism from online meia?

the typical model for programmers not employed in a company is to do contract work. i've done it, it's begging for substenance income..

Novell has a history of blowing it everytime. if unix ever does make a come back i'm sure history will repeat.
no they aren't. they are worth 1 billion + any assets. the rest is good will, of which they have about 20c worth.
do you think MS would be a multi billion $ company based around a support model?
history shows service industries to be the poor cusions of people with something to sell.
they can do all of this now anyway you moron.
your on.
never worked in management before have you?

just as stupid as the $25,000 per song rulings. maybe this is indicative of how much their judges make, that $1000 doesn't seem like much to them?
oh wait a sec....
