Mod parent up, and tidal is a technology only in its infancy. I mean the clown conflated tidal power with surf, as if it were a gust of wind. Newsflash champ, the tides depend on the moon, not the surf.

Triangulation
In trigonometry and geometry, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly. The point can then be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known side and two known angles.
Really? This meme again? Someone always brings this garbage up. I guarantee you using the iPad as an eReader will have zero effect on your eyes.
You don't happen to work for the tobacco companies do you? Just because the effect is ten years down the road doesn't mean there won't be long term effects. You eyes are not built to stare at a luminous object for long periods of time. Even apple gets this, I don't see any book eyestrain warnings. E-ink is the only way forward, although you may comfort yourself with the idea that the ipad will somehow revolutionise, er, anything. No, some of us ask for, nay demand the powerful calves and defined thighs of little asian women rather than the flaccid drippings from jobs' bellend, my friend.
I'd love it if they figured out a way to make an interesting magazine on the iPad.
Why, the ipad is a terrible format for extended reading. You want your CMYK ebook screen for that, because your eyes aren't built to stare comfortably at lumious light sources for long. Plus the ipad is pretty silly anyway, no we don't want the smegma smears from jobs' bellend around here, tis the shapely and powerful golden thighs of little asian women we lust after.
I don't know, I mean how many amphibious life forms are there around the sea shore now, crabs maybe? Compare this to the number of actual amphibians which are in or near lakes or rivers, without tidal influence but quite susceptible to drying up, and I think that the idea that plate tectonics play a much more important role than the tides becomes clear. When plates shifted around they changed the climate, causing hot and cold spells depending on how much of them was near the polar caps, pulling vast quantities of water out of the sea and thus glaciation or warm periods. Likewise currents shifted with continental drift, creating even more climatic instability.
I laughed my head off decades ago when the globalization plans were announced. What, you want to remove the foundation of the pyramid? Make everyone wealthy? Who says that? Oh, the people sitting on top of the pyramid. Right!
I have to say this is one of the more retarded comments I've read this morning, and if you knew about my morning, you would appreciate that. Standards of living are improving in developing countries due to globalisation, end of. Its not happening overnight because a) developed countries need to protect their own popultions too and b) many developing countries haven't figured out that they need to get rid of the lunatic-in-chief before they can progress socially. Eppur si muove, consider that part of your ongoing education.

How does that work, I thought algae were carbon neutral, in that they don't put out more carbon than they sequester. On another note, how possible would it be to build an airship of some kind that keeps itself afloat via internal algae tanks or a coating of algae inside the balloon, needing only injections fo water and whatnot?
And truth be told the middle class in most of those countries is small enough that it could be considered upper class relevant to the vast majority of the population. Media articles like that one compare the "middle class" in China or Brazil with a middle class in the US or Ireland, when they should be comparing them to the median lifestyle in their own countries. If your middle class is acting like an upper class, thats because it is one.
Sure they do. They control how much electricity or water to consume, paid for by the family as a whole.
Sorry, its utterly futile trying to continue this discussion until you grasp this basic point - The use of electricity or water is paid for by the parents, not the family as a whole. And again you're conflating the terms "use" and "control", these are completely different things as already pointed out, you can't swap them around when it suits you.
I don't know anyone can claim to be an economist without having read and understood Marxism, even if they disagree with a lot of the models it puts forth.
Whats to disagree with, it would be like disagreeing with a creationist on evolution. Pointless and time consuming. The phrase "minor historical curiosity" springs to mind.
Ownership and control are integral. We're talking about economics.
They might be integral but that still don't equate to use; children of a family might use resources but they certainly don't own or control them.
In the atomic family, one person could make all the decisions, or both parents could decide together, or the whole family could vote on all important decisions. That's more akin to politics, however, Economically speaking, they're all communism, because it is a subset of society sharing resources within the larger scope of society.
First off the "atomic family" is named for the hierarchical structure of the family unit, top down control. If you're letting a twelve year old vote on important decisions, such as whether to go with a variable or fixed rate mortgage, you've lost the run of yourself. Secondly, every organisation that exists is a subset of society sharing resources within the larger scope of society. So no, the "atomic family" is nowhere near a model for communism of any stripe.
No one would call the atomic family communist either, except for economists.
Yeah I get the varying views on the term "communist", just like "socialist" and "conservative". Can you clarify for us, what economist called the family unit communist (I know many Economics professors and do enjoy a good debate with them from time to time as part of my business), and please exclude any marxist ideologues trying to make out that their worldview is somehow natural?
Those countries you mentioned were the only possible realistic implementations of communism. You need a dictatorship to squish all those who don't want to hand their resources into the common pool.
Thats still basically a microcosmic totalitarianism. Sure they let the young people out into the world for a while, and then they come back, because having been raised in a primitive environment they have no way to cope with the stresses of the modern world. Its just replacing communist dogma with religious dogma, and indoctrinating them from birth.
Economically capitalism is individually owned resources, socialism is government owned resources, and communism is resources shared by a subset of society. Economically speaking, the atomic family sharing a home and groceries and electrical bills is communism with extremely small cell sizes. Co-op stores, monasteries, and traditional communes are communism applied with slightly larger communist cell sizes.
Eh no, you jumped from the ownership of resources to the use of resources, these are two different things. In the "atomic family" one or two people own the resources and distribute them to the rest of the family. The main difference between co-ops and shares in a company is co-ops are comprised of several different interlocking companies, similar to the Keiretsus in Japan, and I don't think anyone would call them communist.
The reason communism and totalitarianism are so linked is because thats the only way it can work. If there are dissenting voices in your society that don't want to hand over their hard work, a totalitarian leader is required to extinguish them.
Stolen from everyone else? I see a couple of your fellow point and click artists got mod points, which only means neither they nor you could come up with a legitimate response to the points that were raise.

Its not your job to decide how much money they can make. If you don't like the laws run for election and make new ones.

Indeed its not hard, but you are referring to trilateration, not triangulation. Being a smartarse isn't hard either, but you're doing it wrong.

Ha, they better be tracking by the minute if they want to catch me that way!
Only needs two, the third point of the triangle in "triangulation" is you.

Step 1: Terrorists have access to pretty convincing fake IDs. So do active criminals and people who might use the phones for illegal purposes.

Who says its a finite universe? What trite shite.
Environment is happy and can keep on with whatever it was doing before we started all that killing.
What it was doing before we started all that killing was an extraordinary amount of killing.

We can only hope not. We reaching the first point in history where a great many socialist countries are running our of other people's money
Whats the national debt of the US again?

Stop making assumptions about other posters and calling them thieves please.

Our government collects portions of our income and disperses it into public projects
Governments were doing that long before communism existed.
I know exactly what I've done
