The majority of electricity comes from 'dirty' sources, such as coal, oil and nuclear. All thats happening is the carbon output of transportation is being shifted from the consumer to the manufacturer.
Fine. How much pollution is added for an additional $5 worth of electricy, vs. the amount of pollution that comes from a full tank of gas.
And even if we DO get a much larger percentage of clean energy sources, we still have to consider the massive costs that will be needed to upgrade the aging energy grid to be able to support the huge draw that electric cars will demand. Even a few million electric cars in the US will put a huge strain on the grid.
Doubtful. Electrical usage peaks during the day, whereas most would likely charge their car at night.
Finally, how good are the batteries for the enviornment? Can they be recycled cleanly? And how often do they need to be replaced? After a few months of steady use?
You realize you can easily find answers to this questions on google. the fact that you're even posing them makes me supsect you're being willfully ignorant.
I take it someone has never ridden a bike and found themselves on the wrong side of a Buick.
I'd say its automatically the bikers fault.
I think drivers today are just too nonchalant about slinging around 3000 lbs. of metal and fuel.
Yet accident rates have been decreasing (except where polititians override civil engineers and install things like red light cameras, or lower speed limits).
The driving age should be raised to at least 18.
If you think teens are a problem, then surely you support having a maximum age for driving as well?
I have given up on driving for these very reasons. I no longer own a car and will be using mass transit or biking it around town. Although now I am not sure I will be any safer for it.
No such thing as safe, might as well accept that. Of course, if you're riding a bike in the road with 3000 lbs of moving pieces of metal, maybe you should have your head checked.
Take it to a judge then. The roadside is not the place for these sorts of arguments, in much the same way it isn't the place to argue whether you were driving 35 in a 30 zone or not
I agree, but lets be honest here. You'll be taking it to an administrative type person, not a judge, because its a civil offense, and you're not in a court, you're in an "admininstrative hearing." In other words, a kangaroo system designed to simply say "yes, you are guilty, and no, we don't want to hear anything you have to say."
The main crux of the argument was that the state no longer has to prove that you in particular were distracted while driving and talking on the phone, the law now says if you're using a phone its a legal fact that you were distracted, thus no need to prove anything.
Sorry, how did "big company uses X" lead to the conclusion "X is reliable?" It could simply mean they've taken steps to account for the fact it loses data, but that doesn't make it reliable.
And since basic users can't start and stop the SQL Server Services,
Ya, that's your failure. You should have been using a User Instance... no need to stop or start the server, as its running in your processes application space, just like Compact would. Your mdf / ldf should be in the user's profile directory in an appropriate location.
MS reps are just like anyone else; they may or may not know what they're talking about.
What are you talking about? Sql server runs fine on a desktop, and Sql Express was DESIGNED to be used in that context. What do you think user instances are for?
Of course we have evidence; there are texts that people claim came from him, and stories of miracles. They may be unconvincing evidence, but that is a different argument. You may vlaim that this gives you very slight reason to believe, but that just means that pascal's wager says you should believe (multiplicities of beliefs aside.)
No, its not evidence at all, any more than T2 is evidence that we'll build a computer that becomes self aware and destroys the world. Its not any more evidence than you had when you believed a fat man came through the chimney and left toys in your living room. Claiming its evidence is delusional, in and of itself.
Your right to do something always stops when it causes harm to another. Damanging the environment to the point where fish specices (which we all eat) are nearly exitinct is not a right.
It has nothing to do with "prioritizing" the environment, which you seem to be throwing up as a convient red-herring. This is exactly along the lines of "your right to swing your fist ends at my face."
In truth most farming is done by huge corporations when large machines and huge amounts of pesticides. You mock people that live in cities (even assuming that I do) yet you are totally ignorant with your knowledge of how farming is done today.
What about the internet precludes the use of a phone network to link the computers together? Was I not on the internet when I dialed in? That is the point here... if you are "turning off" the internet, that would preclude using dialup to network with other computers..
WinMe, Win 98, Win 95 and Win 1.X were not even OS
Yes, appearently you're aware enough to consume food... but any kind of thinking is not there, as evidenced by the fact you regurgitated whatever nonsence your "teachers" fed you. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it wasn't an OS.
But please, inform everyone of why Windows isn't a "true" multitasking OS.
Who said its not right? I can't blame any person or company for legally minimizing their tax liability. That's why I hire an accountant each year to do my returns... to get my liability reduced, peferably to the point were I get money back form the government.
Fair enough - but if that's the case, then let Microsoft lodge its licensing lawsuits and etc. in Nevada as well... where the laws are not as strongly in its favor.
Why? If you had the option, wouldn't you pick the one which benefited you the most? I know I sure would.
Why do people argue this only about god? These same people are prefectly fine saying "the tooth fairy doesn't exist."
Of course my argument is that since there is no evidence of a god, it doesn't make any sense to act like there is. God may or may not exist, but since we have no evidence, we should act like there isn't a god, because to do otherwise is pointless. (If we don't even have evidence a god exists, how can we possibly know what a god would want from us if one did exist?)
No it doesn't. Its headquarters is in WA. This is pretty typical stuff here, and instead of crying that the state is losing money, maybe we need to rethink exactly what it is government should be doing.
If it's with the vendor supplied drivers, then fine. I can't do what I want without them, so it's still to do with the whole experience and readiness of the product.
It has nothing to do with the readiness of Win7; it has to do with the readiness of your hardware manufacturer.
There are issues I've come across that are most certainly MS, as the whole dependancy chain is MS stamped on the vendor sigs.
That ensures that the driver is coming from who they say it's coming from. It doesn't mean MS tested the driver.
My Windows machines (Yes, even Server 2008) require a reboot every couple of months, and they have been known to randomly hang for no reason that is evident.
I respectfully submit that you don't really know what you're doing.
Sounds like you're just as ignorant as your teachers. Windows XP traces its routes back to WinNT, which was ALWAYS a multi-user, multitaksing OS. The DOS line of windows ended with WinME.

Also, lets not forget leaking gasoline storage tanks, but there's more than just air pollution you know. http://www.calgasoline.com/news81902lat.htm.

the environmental costs of building a new vehicle were not considered in the justification calculations
Because those costs were irrelevent, the cars were ALREADY built, and dealers had a huge surplus of cars.
First of all there is no "right to travel".
Yes, there is, and courts have upheld it: http://www.usconstitution.net/constnot.html#travel

The argument in that link is stupid, because we're not speaking Latin, we're speaking English, which has more influences than just Latin.
So if we as modern English speaking people say the plurar is Priuses, then that's what it is.
For a first step, MySQL was the obvious choice and it shows a move in the right direction.
How? MySql is barely a database, and certainly not one I'd trust with anything important.

I pirate because I can't afford the software, and I need it (want it?).
Hmm, that still wouldn't get you off if you claimed you stole food from a store and claimed it was because you're hungry.
If it's with the vendor supplied drivers, then fine. I can't do what I want without them, so it's still to do with the whole experience and readiness of the product.
