when will you moronic editors stop posting this dribble. it's been done to death, mpeg won this fight years ago, no one wants your stupid formats that output shitty video at 1/2 the speed.
you were able to hold entire seasons on dvd for fucks sake. using decent compression dvd is enough. content providers simply wanted to milk more profit by only putting a few ep's on each disc, people got the shits with it and pirated it.
don't give me filler, give me what i want.
"Do contracts automagically expire after 7 years?"
does unconscionable contract mean anything to you? my guess if this guy had some kind of contract with zuckerberg which would have since expired, and he's making some kind of mental short circuit that makes him think he's entitled to things he's not.
there is this farsical disscuion that always gets recycled about uranium, that there is only 50 years supply left. yes, there is 50 years of KNOWN AND DEFINED ore body. there has been almost zero exploration done in the last 40 years due to hard campgaining against uranium mining and nuclear power. it's dishonest of the green lobby to succeed in banning uranium mining in most countries then claim short supply as a problem for nuclear power. In australia alone we have massive deposits that aren't properly explored, and there's no doubt there are more deposits we don't even know about.
where the hell did you get that i was using anecdotal evidence? there's LOTS of localised evidence of cooling. europe has just had the coldest winter in 50 years.
and oh the IRONY of you accusing me of having true believer syndrome. You only have to mention that you aren't 100% convinced and you are labeled a "denier" by the AGW nutters like some kind of heretic from the middle ages.
if you can explain in a non emotional way sticking purely to the facts and data that i can look at myself, why CO2 has become the driver behind climate rather then the sun and water vapor, you'd convince me.
why is it when I point to localised evidence of cooling as proof AGW is bullshit, AGW supporters give me a line about global temps being the only valid data. but when there's some local event like ice melting on a mountain, it's considered rockhard evidence by AGW supporters?!
i'll tell you why. it's because most of popular climate change "science" isn't worth the paper it's printed on, and it's agenda is run by hypocrites.
i'd be shocked if australia had an average of 5.1mbit. i live just 15km from the center of a capital city in australia and i only get 4mbit. rural area's are much much worse off. even large towns of 50k people are without adsl.
you don't live in the real world do you? in the real world there is a direct relation between easyness and getting laid that fat ugly girls know how to play.
i reread your post and you didn't state "before" at all. i quote you "strong evidence that BP didn't devote any significant resources to dealing with a deep water blowout". i guess the "a" in there puts your statement in past tense.
again though, you fail to understand the logistic's of what your asking. if there is a blow out and the fail safe fails, what's the tanker supposed to do? your whole strawman about getting a ship from europe is stupid, since i'm making the point that having the tanker there isn't going to do anything to stop the oil. sure you might suck up a little, but as you pointed out your self it's been 3 months and a tanker has been there sucking all the oil it can and it's made fuck all difference.
what they need is a fail safe that actually works and isn't going to fail due to mechanical problems. it's also insanely unfair to try paint the engineers working on this as incompetent by accusing them of working by trial and error - they were merely trying to find a solution to the problem faster then relief wells. it's not like BP were just trying one thing at a time.
how about you read what i posted and stop misquoting me - i said it's unknown why the jaws on the shear didn't close. i'm happy to be proven wrong on this with a credible link that deals with the actual events and isn't just a BP hate blah blah blah blog post.
your comment is pretty typical of the junk reporting on this issue and the lack of understanding of what really happened.
BP had the industry standard blind shear ram installed on the well. this device cuts through the drill pipe and seals off the well for good - as long as the 2 blades meet. when the blow out came, the operators found they couldn't control the pressure so they hit the fail safe and the jaws on the shears started to close, but stopped short of sealing the well.
the reasons for why this failed are unknown, and it's probably a valid critisism that BP should have had 2 fail safes not just one, though i'd make the point everyone is an expert in hindsight.
but to say BP had no safe guards and to call them a rogue corporation is just plain bullshit, and makes you more dishonest then the company your attacking.
having emergency tankers "ready" at the dock (whatever that is supposed to be) is a useless idea. whats the tanker supposed to do after it arrives? not to mention that it'll take days for a tanker to get there at best anyway.
it's also an outright lie to say BP haven't invested significant resources in dealing with the blowout. they have spent over 3 billion and deployed 22,000 people to try contain the spill, and they are still up for billions more. i'm not sure what circles you travel in but i'd consider billions of dollars significant.
no usually what happens is the artist gets a lump sum and then royalties on top for each sale. the lump sum buys their rights for cents on the dollar in the hope their work will make it big.
on their own there's a high certainty of failure for a new starter.
HOLY SHIT HOW IS IT WE ARE ALL STILL ALIVE?!?!?!?!
or maybe, just maybe, it's not the doomsday scenario environmental nazi's want us to believe? keeping the population under control by scaring them isn't just for bush
i think the whole study is misleading. the off peak scheme only works because not much power is in use at that time. what do you think will happen when every man and his dog have an electric car that charges during "off peak"? thats right, it'll suddenly be peak time, and the cheap power gravy train will be over.
huh designed from the ground up to reject authority?! what pinko leftist commie blog did you copy that from? i can assure you when the MILITARY designed the internet, free speech was the last thing on their mind

not only that the english only landed in australia in 1770, so that other retard you are replying to is even worse. no wonder america is fucked up.

oh dear. your either young or very very naive to think the world works like that. the scary part is your probably are old enough to vote....

i run adblockers, but guess what? google adwords isn't blocked because it's unobtrusive and sometimes even useful.
everyone seems to have forgotten that matching customers with products is what advertising is all about.

however, when our rat overlords from outerspace arrive and start doing animal testing on US, we better just STFU and take it as a "necessary evil"

feel free to give the exiled prince of nigeria your bank details then.
i'd expect no less given the level of brain activity i've seen from protestors.
because they know facts don't get through to the public, but crazy people screaming FRANKENFOOD and making micheal moore style "documentaries" do?

why would republican or democrat parties need or want to meet with a facebook rep??? sounds like the facebook rep is a tad full of themselfs.
