FI races are about 200 miles long at best. NASCAR is 400-500 miles but much lower tech. Not only lower tech, lower performance, too.
They used to make F1 engines that had performance matched by none that would last one race. Now they have slightly lower performance, last two races, and are still not matched by any other. Especially not tin tops.
PS, it is F1, not FI, I guess the exact facts are not your domain, in the ball park will do.
When is it going to be La Nina so we get rain in Australia?
El Nino and La Nina are Pacific issues, I thought American Hurricanes came from the Atlantic side of things?
But anyway, El Nino and La Nina patterns take years to swap, they can't explain the difference between one year and the next.
I think just about every Australian has breached Australian copyright law. Until not long ago if you taped a show off TV, or a song off the radio you were breaking the law, because you didn't have consent from the copyright holder. No one ever paid attention to the law, but we still broke the law. Should we extradite millions of Australians to the US? Now, you may argue that most people didn't know they were breaking the law, so I guess I will have to bring up speeding in your car. Most people do it, every now and then. People are knowingly breaking the law. Should we send these people to the US because they broke Australian road rules? No, that would be crazy.
I'm an Australian. You can get less than ten years for murder in this country. But oh noes, he commited BS, err, IP crime, he needs to be locked away in a foreign country... yeah right. His crime was monetary, his punishment should be monetary. Do a wiki search for Bill Hicks to see how Aussies get fucked by Americans.
QANTAS has a lot of flights to places a long way away, like LA and London. I don't think 24hrs non stop is correct, but they do spend significant amounts of time in the air, moreso than your regional US airline.
QANTAS has had 0 Fatalities, and according to your site its last crash was in 1951. I think that would put it amoung the best. You say as soon as there is one crash there safety record will go through the floor, but that is the point, QANTAS rarely crashes (as has a rare crash record over many decades). So I think your statement is "not even remotely true".
The pads are too think, and require being melted. This means paste is a better conductor of heat - if you do it properly. That is a big if, and I guiess the reason why AMD ships with pads.
A bit of acetone and a fingernail do a pretty good job of getting rid of the pad.
I get a little worried that i may scratch the heatsink so it wont be perfectly flat, but then i look at the rough base of most heatsinks and realise it doesn't matter. If I had a mirror polish on the base of a heatsink I would be taking much more care.
If you wanted to help the environment, you would rip the engine out of your car and hook it to a horse. But you are forgetting about the (methane) emissions from the horse.
Get the population down to 100 million people and all of the environmental problems go away. True, but how do we manage that? Nuclear war? that will thin the population down. Ahh, there is no sightedness like shortsightedness.
- You have to prepair the fields.
This includes fertiliser and herbicide, as well as tilling the soil.
This requires the use of machinery and products that will not be available if you get rid of farming (or farm different products).
- You need to plant the seeds
Where are you going to get these seeds from? Plus you still need the machinery to do this - which probably isn't available if you started growing something different (or nothing at all).
- You need to maintain the crops
more chemicals, more machinery. Oh, you no longer have the chemicals to treat rust in wheat, or the means to apply it.
- You have to harvest your crop
Oh, what do you mean you don't have a half a million dollar combine harvester lying around? or the trucks to take the grain to the silo. What do you mean there is no silo infrastructure anymore? And all the other little bits and pieces like pickup bins, field bins, equipment for making hay, etc.
_ This raw grain has to be converted into useable food
Where have all the flour mills gone? What do you mean we don't have the infrastructure to make something as simple as bread?
If you stopped farming for food you would loose billions of dollars worth of infrastructure. It would also take years to rebuild the infrastructure.
Sure, some people could grow food in there backyard and sustain themselves. But what about all the people who live in appartments with no garden? It is pretty hard to sustain yourself if you live in a one bedroom place on the 53rd floor of a building.
If America relied on an external source for food and sudenly lost it - you would have massive food shortages while you try to adjust. Pictures of people starving in Rwanda would be replaced by people starving in New York.
But hey, I'm an Aussie, we would make a killing selling you our excess food.
It's pretty cool up here in Canberra, although it is irrelevant. Weather and climate are different, climate is a long term thing.
I think 100 (or maybe it was 150) years ago there was a massive drought out west, where they didn't have crops for 7 years. I am from rural NSW, and we have been hit hard by the drought. But this is australia, I think it is the dryest country on the planet. A lack of water is nothing new.
I don't believe in God, but I admire his work.
Oh, I see. Yes. That makes puuurfect sense. How can you admire the work of something you don't believe in. Oh yes, I realise you do actually believe in God, but you think you will more credibility around this place if you state you don't believe. Next you will telling me my attrocious spelling and grammar give me credibility.
I am not an enterprise, I AM an individual! Then this article isn't aimed at your needs.
Why should I have to buy a massive volumn license just to avoid having to Activate my OS and prevent it from phoning home? Aparently you still need to activate vista, you need to have an activation server. If you want to stop vista from phoning home you can always get a cheap, consumer class firewall.
Activation, WGA/WPA! You know, the spyware that phones home and won't run if you don't allow it to do so.
Which is why enterprise has enterprise class gateways. Enterprise doesn't need to worry about this, so if that is your main reason to switch you need a new reason.
There is no proof that gravity exists, but instead of just thinking the earth is flat or God made it so we stick to the ground, science has studied the phenomenon and made a theory about why white men can't jump. It is only a theory, not proof, so I guess that isn't good enough for you. Sure some things are proven wrong, such as the planets moving in circles, rather than elipses, but they were only out slightly. How could you be out billions of years?
Here is why I think the idea that fossils are only thosands of years old is wrong-
People who have been in peat for thosands of years are not turned to stone.
Also, When fossils are found they are deep down under many layers of rock. This rock is like rings in a tree. How could these animals (and plants) get under millions of years of rock if "young earth" is correct?
And what about ice drilling? how do you explain thousands of years worth of layers of ice?
This is a site for nerds. Nerds are stereotypically smart. Nerds are the ones who ask the question "why?. We don't have blind faith, but we do have group think. And you are on the wrong site.
You can have all the doubt you want about the age of the earth and even carbon dating for that matter. But the scientists, the uber nerds, they have proven that the earth is older than young earth creationism can allow for.
If I went into the desert and saw "God" and wrote a book they would call me crazy. but not the guys you have blind faith in, apparently.
- They are increasingly becoming a war power What's your point? Atleast they don't flex thier muscles every chance they get like the US does.
- The land of bicycles is increasingly becoming a land of car owners (greenhouse gases) Atleast they aren't the land of SUV owners
- They are filling the west with cheap manufactured goods, I don't see the west complaining about all these cheap goods.
and those goods make up the bulk of safety recalls for manufactured products Maybe they are the most recalled because they have the most products? maybe the percentage of recalled chinese made goods is lower than the percentage of recalled US made goods. Sony's exploding battery cells are made in Japan, weren't they recalled, too?
For some reason we decided to make them favored trading partners? Maybe it is all those cheap goods they want to sell us, and we want to buy.
we should be using trade agreements to hold China to standards that we hold others to here in the west. Yeah, let's fuck them over with free trade agreements like the US does with western countries like mine (Australia)
Things like censorship, I know China is bad when it comes to censorship, but the US is no angel, either
product safety, Exploding SUV's are less safe than a chinese keyboard?
military issues, Pffft, They haven't been emroiled in an illegal war for the last 5 years
global warming contributions, The US is the biggest contributor to this.
and anything that seems enough of a problem to become a law in western countries You mean something like illegally tapping phones? Oh, the US would never do anything like that.
should be forced upon the Chinese government. Just like we forced these onto the Iraqi government? That was a resounding success.
When they are as busy taking care of their people and environment, perhaps they will find themselves on a level playing field with the west, and that after all is what they want.
