in not having insisted on keeping and improving rail since the 40's. Americans are total retards about this, they can't ever have any excuse.
But why did these alleged retards not insist on improving rail?
Because the US is much, much bigger than Europe, and the land wasn't already owned by someone who could successfully defend their claim.
Thus, while Europe built *up*, we built *out*. Not only in cities, but suburbs. Because we want lawns. That requires space, and that means roads, not trains.
So, if you really want to blame a group for the US having sprawling metro regions, blame the Indians for not defending their territory (from us and the Spanish).
The electric universe group suggest more weight be given to observational evidence instead of mathematical constructs.
But "math stuff" and "bizarre phenomena" sure have worked so far. That computer you wrote that from, for example, wouldn't be as small nor fast as it is without an understanding of the bizarre mathematical phenomenon know as quantum mechanics.
But the impossible mission of how the heat comes from the centre, and skips the relatively cool surface, to somehow end up as millions of degrees above, just makes no sense at all
It doesn't make sense to *us*, the popular science reading public. But does it make sense to the actual scientists?
And even if it doesn't make sense to them, so what? That's why they built the New Solar Telescope!! To, you know, learn new things and make better hypotheses.
I know the Electric Universe offers a very plausible explanation
Now we know you're either (1) a crank, or (2) terribly young and naive.
I was wondering if other people had their own views, or theories they'd like to share.
Anyone who "shares" (such a *compassionate* word:eyeroll:) their expertise in the subject and is not an actual solar scientist is either a blowhard, a crank, or both.
So, are you claiming that universities shouldn't do courses which cater to different interests?
Correct.
I didn't refuse to go into Comp Sci because the school wouldn't teach the stuff I was interested it. It was/is my job to use and extend what the University taught so as to *then* do what I want.
In any democracy, one thing is certain: A bunch of folks think that a bunch of other folks should pay for something all of them need.
I know why you think that, but in this case, no. Instead, it's risk mitigation, something for which insurance companies are quite familiar and already spend lots of money on.
Well, it is for sorting purposes. (They've got massive machines running Linux doing OCR which replaced manual sorting, and that requires... taking pictures of the mail.)
Whether all the pictures are also retained is a completely different story. 10 years ago, I'd have said, "No; too expensive." But storage costs have plummeted, so nowadays, maybe so.
I wrote why I don't (as in "present tense") use an AMD GPU. The new and improved driver isn't out in the wild yet, and certainly not integrated into distros.
No good vaapi integration into mplayer like that of vdpau. Not to mention that the AMD linux drivers are still manifestly slower than the nvidia drivers.
As soon as I read the headline, I hoped that Google would beat the EU. It took effort to remember the Microsoft anti-trust case of 25 years ago, and how -- for many of the same issues -- I wanted the DOJ to grind MS into the dust.

You actually wind up in the part of the city you actually want to be in, rather than way out in the outskirts of town
You obviously know jack fucking shit about the United States.

driving is *much* cheaper. And you have your own vehicle instead of having to rent or pay taxi fare.
After 9/11, the time spent travelling is almost the same, too.
That wouldn't happen if women stayed in the kitchen where they belong...
after all our President is a "coder" too!!! :eyeroll:

What I want to know is why the hell there's a sperm fscking whale off the coast of Louisiana!!!
Advertise it as being socially responsible, and something that will empower poor, "developing nations" womyn.
Or perhaps universities should only offer courses that you have personally approved???
You numb-nuts. Universities are *not* trade schools, which only teach what is popular.
(Well, they should not be trade schools.)
There might be some legal/bureaucratic impediment. Or they might not have thought of it.
Or the $38.3M early-warning system might not be as mature/effective as claimed...
So, are you claiming that universities shouldn't do courses which cater to different interests?
Correct.

The gov't should convince insurance companies to band together and pony up the cash.
If the earthquake were in... Antarctica or Greenland, you might have a good case.
s it linked to the Sun activity
Eh? This is seismology, not climatology.
linked to the human oil/gas digging
Damn!
I was just about to (sarcastically) blame fracking and Sarah Palin...
In the same way that differential air pressure "repels gravity" to keep a plane in the air???
Why didn't the rubber absorb the sound, so that no one heard the master's scream?
But the real "so what" is that they are OCRing the mail,
Lot's of people still actually hand-write addresses. It needs to get OCRed in order to be sorted.
In times past, sending porn through the mail *was* illegal, and the antiquated version of this program tracked porn mailers and receivers.
Well, it is for sorting purposes. (They've got massive machines running Linux doing OCR which replaced manual sorting, and that requires... taking pictures of the mail.)

Modded Flamebait and Troll?
Face it, AMD fanbois: the truth hurts, but it *is* the truth.
