"But IPV6 is not new technology. The RFC is 14 years old"
Every few years the give up and change shit again. It's still a tiny alternative network that nobody needs to use. The idea of suggesting the UK governmet build a giant v6 only internet network is humeroud at best, criminally negligent at best. Better would be to buy things that work and for the places that need to interoperate can be set up easily and the addressing within that network is only remotely an issue if you don't know what bits really are. Or what they're for.
Certified organic means the soil is tested. You're not growing it over an old gas station or some plot of land where buddy sprayed Lead arsenate weekly on his roses as was the custom.
If your soil is deficient in minerals it's not gonna be certified.
But, without certification, well, you can grow in anything.
There's a phytoallexin in some fruits and vegetables that seems to be instrumental in turning gene P53 back on and has a large role in cancer. It's made in response to a fungus, and is 90% reduced in sprayed produce. So, unless you're buying organic, you're not getting all the nutrients your grandparents got before the advent of widespread spraying after WWII, and there's evidence to suggest the cancer rate rise since then s due in part to this, never mind he fact the pesticides can be mutagenic themselves.
I can just imagine a similar analysis in ancient Rome.

Methinks you haven't kept up with LED technology. But, you're right, they don't have to be LED, it's just that LED doesn't waste as much heat as other sources
Which plants can't be cultivated indoors? Plant can't actually tell if they're indoors Penny. They respond to correct amounts of nutrients and light at the correct temperature.
Correct about the algae. But you'd need to grow other things to if you're growing food.
No. Just no. It'd be (far) easier to make power on the light side them beam it where the building where the plants were ala Tesla's little 7 cps trick (although presumably it wouldn't be 7 cps)
Even easier is to have enough batteries that you can charge enough so there's 2 weeks of power saved up.
Bacteria that break down organic matter into ammonia, then ammonia to nitrite then nitrite to nitrate would be important if you're trying to compost waste. But, see, the thing is, bacteria are pretty light and can grow pretty quickly. If you wanted to do this you would't actually need to keep sendig bacteria up there.
Not that you'd actually need it to grow plants, just to compose waste back into fertilizer. Initially, you'd send up a few tons of fertilizers to get going but that's a one time deal. Eventuall there'd be enough N, P, K and micronutrients that recycling would be enough.
There's really no mystery about bugs and insects, it really is pretty well understood. Any good aquarium book can explain it.
As the dork who created sci.aquaria I have it on good authority that JPL has at the very least, one fishtank and it's not like this (wait for it) is rocket science.
Um, plants don't grow in a vacuum. We already use centrifuges on earth to grow plants, they just don't spin very quickly.
I don't get it, we're talking about solar fired batteries to light LED's ad people wonder where the electricity comes from to run a centrifuge (that isn't needed anyway). Um, ok...
Also I guess if it were me I'd send something like the Tesla power packs up there, rather than build them *cough* on the moon/mar/whatever. You can use more than one trip up.
Again, seeds and fertilizer get set up in rockerships. After a while, there's been enough nitrate/other macro/micronutrients up there it can be um, recycled.
Any by all that's holy denizens of Slashdot, please don't think about that too hard and analyze that to death. Shit happens, ok? End of story.
If you want some insight into this, focus on the Karl Rove - Carl Bildt connection. Rove thinks he's Swedish and spends a lot ot time there and I'm sure it's just a coincidence Sweden has a pretty right wing government right now.
It wasn't. 9 track tapes lasted a few years and at that point the oxide flaked off. Ever wonder where Google's Usenet archive came from? DejaNews. Wonder where that came from? Archive.org (I think it's all still there somewhere in 4 of the biggest files on earth). Wonder where they got it from? I sort of arranged them to get a copy from magi@uwo who had taken Henry Spencer's tape backups made because a friend of his wanted rec.birds ad it was easier to just store all of it. magi told me at the worst point they'd run a tape for a foot, then have to stop and clean all the flaked oxide off the heads and keep going. It took, I think, two summers to read them all that way.
Tapes were ok if you used them the same year or next, but if you were serious about data, you kept it on disk packs, either 2314 single platers or 2311 packs or multiple platters.
8" floppies may have been introduced in 71 but it wasn't really anywhere close to common until the late seventies and never had much traction with large computers. More so with minicomputers but still fairly useless given the volumes of data. Where they shone was with micros, their 8-bit cpus and low data requirements made them ideal; you could easily boot an O/S off one and have all your data on the other and this lasted until about the early to mid 80s when 5" floppies - much less reliable - took over.
IBM introduced them and they were called "flexible diskettes" and nobody thought they would work or work reliably if they did, which really wasn't too far off the mark.
You know all those gaps in Google's Usenet archive? That's where the oxide flaked off and that data is just plain extinct. No, tapes sucked but then, as now, expensive dick drives had outstanding longevity.
Maybe... put the trees back? If everybody on the planet planted 10 fast growing and 10 slow growing trees... well, do the math. Or maybe a lot of C4 plants, the ones that use crazy amounts of CO2 and do really well when CO2 is high (the historical maximum is 7000ppm, we're at about 400ppm now).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4_carbon_fixation "Today, C4 plants represent about 5% of Earth's plant biomass and 3% of its known plant species.[13][9] Despite this scarcity, they account for about 30% of terrestrial carbon fixation.[10] Increasing the proportion of C4 plants on earth could assist biosequestration of CO2 and represent an important climate change avoidance strategy. Present-day C4 plants are concentrated in the tropics and subtropics (below latitudes of 45) where the high air temperature contributes to higher possible levels of oxygenase activity by RuBisCO, which increases rates of photorespiration in C3 plants."
And no excess heat. The plan in TFA sounds to me like introducing cane toads to Australia.
There are many tropical countries you can't enter without certain shots. Yes it's good for society when you don't wipe out an entire village because of your stubborn ignorance. This isn't tyranny, this is common sense.
Enough poeple have died because of anti-vax ignorance lately that the only reason you'd say what you did is that you aren't aware of this.
Keeping the body count low is the goal here, your paranoia about state tyranny (hi Ayn!) is secondary.
Slashdot Mirror
Right.
One of the three partners is "some states". IMO this should work equally well for my friend Nkouly in Cameroon on his phone or linux system.
Opera showed MS wet out of their way to detect Opera and throw it garbage content, just cause. They don't do that any more.
So... it would have been compatible with Widows 95?
Bonus. But I bet it was an MS-DOS program.
That's not what it says. It just says some people had a higher level of efficiency converting certain fatty acids to EPA ad DHA.
And they're saying this enabled man to live inland away from marine sources.
There's a debate in evolutionary biology, did the source of the w-3 lipids come from marine sources or brains and marrow?
If it's the latter the paper doesn't matter. If it's the former this doesn't imply anything about vegearianism.

Bob makes his own dead pachyderms.
Maybe for last year. Maybe for next year. But this year is not looking so good.
Yup. Try this:

Bingo.
DNS is the Schrodinger's cat of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
As for Godaddy, if you think Bob shot those elephants in accordance with the law you might want to actually read those laws.
That big agro ghostwrote a bad report? No.

If the immune system doesn't work without gravity how come the ISS dudes haven't all died of the space herpes?
Where do you people get this stuff?
Um, plants don't grow in a vacuum. We already use centrifuges on earth to grow plants, they just don't spin very quickly.

"Current solar-powered battery storage technology isn't adequate to sustain artificial light sources for two weeks at the time"
Oh rly? Use enough Tesla power packs and they'll be fine. Lithium is light.
"But, as he points out, who can say how productive plants are ultimately going to be on the moon, in gravity that is only one sixth that of earth?"
Other than the fact we know already and that plants could be grown in earth gravity in a centrifuge yeah, good point.
Sheesh.
"as a rational slashdotter "
a what?

Either these three things happened in more than one company or we worked at the same place. I saw all these things too, exactly.
It wasn't. 9 track tapes lasted a few years and at that point the oxide flaked off. Ever wonder where Google's Usenet archive came from? DejaNews. Wonder where that came from?

Not only that, but this guy says if we don't have more CO2 we're not going to be able to grow enough food for the planet.
http://www.liebertpub.com/MContent/Files/Kleinman_ch19_p379-398.pdf
I hate to state the obvious but do you suppose there's a chance that the balance of trees to CO2 got a bit messed up when we cut them all down?

So leave already.

I've seen facts. They don't look like that. If you can't distinguish facts from informal logic ("rhetoric") why are you wasting our time?
