It's also a wonderful stand-in for all aspects of a real Pandemic emergency.
It's really the perfect pandemic hypothetical, which is why you see people preparing for Zombie Apocolypse. (read: any and all eventualities resulting from infectious disease significant enough to halt modern civilization).
A little nitpick, the Internet was born in places like Lawerence Livermore, and White Sands. Military research bases. They were not connected to Universities until much later, and by then most of the key infrastructure and technology you use today was already invented.
There is no reason in 2013 that a place like MIT should be running a Wild-West Network. In fact, its downright negligent if they do.
This is just too closed minded to reply to. Don't think zombie-mods are in any way a validation of your fallacious and contradicting opinion. In the context Climate Change is more accurate description.
>Anthropogenic global warming is accurate False.
I'm sure a climate scientist from Europe or a desert nation would love you to explain how the statement is true. I won't even bother to argue with you further the implied context of "Global Warming" and "Climate Change" which exists in the minds of those whom fund actual sciences (the taxpayer).
So please explain for the rest of us....
> There are trillions of dollars riding on convincing the public that AGW is dire enough that we need to spend a lot of money.
Wow, thats about as much intellectual drivel as I would expect out of a political prisoner fresh out of labour-camp.
Climate Change is an acknowledgment that the Earth has many interconnected systems that can be aversely or even positively affected by changes to the environment. Also a tacit acknowledgement that once it occurs its nearly impossible to reverse. It just so happens that it also nullifies any unfortunate and misguided pseudo-intellectualism vaulted or supported by the "Global Warming" meme of the 80s.
But when you can't lean on that khallow, the best you can do is question the motives of "scientists" to prove your point? Scream propaganda and be done for the day? That's a whopper of a fallacy, and a very transparent one at that.
Since when is 'missing the point' known as 'philosophical'?
The idea is that due to current laws everything is licensed because of software contained within. The problem is precisely that we no longer own our "instance", Fair Use has been completely eroded becuase copyright/dcma and others like it make little sensible (not to mention iron clad) distinction between levels of business harm: general distribution without permission, instance distribution (resale, cracking self licensed copies), and personal use copies.
It would have to be a hole through several layers of membrane, but yes a mild standard treatment afterwards may be more than enough. This is hardly the expensive part of desalinization.
No bacteria would pass though due to size, so coagulation not necessary. Chlorination also not necessary.
So what does that leave, purification of certain compounds which happen to be smaller than H2O? (likely a mild chemical treatment process judging by other filtration techniques.) Since this is a desalination filter process seems safe to assume anything above Ng on the perdioc table would not pass through ( I am not a chemist by trade so please correct me if I am wrong). This leaves H He Li Be Bo C N O Fl Ne to be worried about from a chemical standpoint after filtration.
So what really is left after passing through graphene?
Seems like Tropico 4 with more Sims. That sounds tedious alright.
There's a reason I play Simcity and my wife plays Sims. EA/Maxis need to realize they are trying to appeal to the wrong group when they combine levels of simulation.
As described this sounds like the worst idea ever.

I agree the problem is an unskilled driver's definition of reckless differs greatly from someone who is comfortable driving 20% greater than the nanny limit.
Let's also keep in mind that the vast majority of drivers can't even handle the basic rules of the road on a good day.... it creates this situation of enforcement to the lowest common denominator.
Oh i forgot, you're the grand arbiter of zero (none), coward. It's a fact, Europa has a slight atmosphere, no amount of anonymous semantic games will make you correct.
VMS was a rock solid product, people used! Indeed, I have 35 year old vaxen that are still running strong on original parts. The last time down for maintenance? Never. At least not in the last 15 years.
Biggest mistake was getting out of the PC market in its relative infancy. Ripe for Compaq in short order.
He's not suggesting reward in exchange for virtue. Its rigged, we're all fucked, it just matters how many times you go around and find yourself with a chair to sit on.
That's his point. There could be enough chairs for everyone, but we stopped making chairs a long time ago in the name of profits TODAY (not TOMORROW).

Agreed, it's like only going half way with a spray on tan.

Its not strange when most of your lease payment is a tax deduction.
Drive a beemer, pay for a corolla.

Like it's some strange ridiculous thing to spend 1k/month on a car.

False.

Oh and I wouldn't mind if you source this please.
Indeed, I never said the US was fascist. I said Fascists generally start with:
> both warrantless spying
and continue the appearance of:
> democratic form of government?
It's called Fascism, and most people have forgotten what it looks like.

Ummm running Renegade 10-05 ANYWHERE.
I couldn't agree more!
Companies always act in their own interests, it's just that some are more ethical than others.
Why do we need a Champion, when we could have a Hall of Heroes?

Significantly. Less maintenance on membranes, likely more re-usable. Less post filtration treatment. Lighter, smaller, faster, better.
It would have to be a hole through several layers of membrane, but yes a mild standard treatment afterwards may be more than enough. This is hardly the expensive part of desalinization.
Ach, anything above Ne* I mean (Boron just B, also Flourine is just F). Told you I wasn't a chemist, but not bad from memory.
No bacteria would pass though due to size, so coagulation not necessary. Chlorination also not necessary.

This is just plain bunk science.right here. I expect more out of such a low UID

Europa has a slight oxygen atmosphere. It may be relatively lightweight as far as atmosphere, but let's be precise and say, Europa actually has one.

This isn't virtue, this is basic economics.
