So if I am reading a newspaper (yes, I can read) and someone else can see the words on it, am I sharing second hand news (okay, I look at the pictures, so sue me) illegally and can I be sued for that, too?
lmao, how many windows users are going to click that link, try to get the download, then nut up when they wonder wtf a tarball is? (you'd think there'd be a zip version for cross platform niceness)
In light of this, I have decided to smile after all.:) (I wonder about these moderators some times. Do they screen who moderates? I don't think so, because even I have mod points...)
Our problem here in the US is that (a lot of) our teachers don't teach. And what they do teach doesn't prepare the students to be competitive in today's world.
lmao, you guys are a trip. Take a reservoir, run the water out of it to create electricity, add to this the fact that you are in a drought and the river feeding the reservoir is at historically low levels, and voila, your argument leaves you wanting for a better soapbox on which to prop. We just went to drought level 4 yesterday because of this. Montgomery Alabama is having a hard time getting drinking water out of their river because it's so low. Lake Allatoona here in Ga is nearly depleted. It is the reservoir of a hydroelectric dam. Were we using nuclear power plants, Allatoona would have more water in it right now (if we had decided to keep it as a lake, and not emptied it to make room for more development, that is). I'm not even going to waste any effort in addressing any of your comic remarks up there regarding replenishing aquifers, because you apparently don't understand anything about where we get fresh water from in the first place. Okay, I'll go this far: our county water system gets their main water supply from wells. I'll let you decide where well water comes from, if you're so smart. I'm a troll because people try to silence people like me who will stand up to blatant stupidity, thinking being labelled a troll will run them off. Learn something (factual) about the cycle of water, then come back and we'll have an intelligent conversation.
The jury gasped because they couldn't believe you were so myopic as to even post that dribble.
What you don't seem to understand is that I am well aware of the fact that they don't take water, put it into something, and voila, no water, but plenty of electricity. BUT, the reservoirs get depleted. Lake Allatoona, just to the south and east of here is losing a foot of water a day. Were it not being used to generate electricity, then I would imagine, in my own little weird way, that there would be a higher water level right about now. You with me now? How could you possibly come to the conclusion that I thought the water vanished into thin air? Nowhere did I even give the impression that I thought this, unless Engrish is your 99th language, or you are just here to stir up trollble.
You argue like a scorned woman. I say don't use water for electricity, store it for later use. Let it replenish the aquifers. As precious a commodity as is fresh water, you'd think that people would want to see a way to keep as much on hand as is possible at all times. We've had how many years to build nuclear power plants, yet this whole time the science fiction minded segment of society is freaking out and trying to stop it? Your interpretation of what I say is kinda way off, and your replies have seemed to be somewhat belligerent. What's your problem, trying to act like a prosecuting attorney (don't quit your day job) or something?
Huh? What is this, a freaking science fair? We're in a drought here in the Southeast. The water's low. Kinda hard not to interpret the water being low when it's low like it is, seeing as how it's low and all. Want me to draw you a picture? |-| normal |_| low. It just seems to me that we ought to be able to keep more water standing around than we do, what with the man made global warming that the sun and the stars are causing.
The county where I live can't use their normal water supply because it's all dried up. Now they are buying the water from the city. Only problem is, the city water comes from the rivers, the county's came from wells. River water has oxygen, well water doesn't. The county saved money by putting water mains in that don't have any coating in them to deter rust, so now they are using city water, the mains are full of rusty water. (there's more reasons, too, but let's just go with that simple explanation). So the county residences call the county water department, and are told that the water is full of mud because the city is drawing from the river that is only thirteen inches deep, and their pumps are drawing up nothing but mud, rather than going out and flowing hydrants to keep the water clear. Oh, and the water here in the city is clear as a bell, by the way. I have no way to provide you any evidence of the bellular clarity of the water, though, so you're stuck taking my word for it, mkay? (any Georgia EPD or AWWA people out there think this is something to look in to, it's Floyd County Ga.) I don't think they hire them for their intellect over there at the county water department.
This is all sort of off topic, but once I get my fingers to wiggling, they just don't want to stop, ya know? So why is the water low? Must be man made regional droughting or something, bro, you tell me, you're so freaking smart.
I live in the South East. Ever hear of TVA? Our main source of drinking water here is a river that normally is around 6 to 12 feet deep this time of year, but this morning at the official measuring site, it is thirteen and one quarter inches. Please don't second guess me and then go presenting information based on your guesses.
An exploration geophysicist would laugh at your naive look at resources. Resources do not "run out." They may no longer be cost effective to extract (or even explore for), but you will never use up all of a resource, be it uranium or oil.
It is also interesting that you have such confidence about our exploration abilities in the next 100 years. Most mines never mine deeper that 2 km. This is in a planet that is 6371 km in radius. Just because you can't envision the technology to go deeper or explore deeper than 2 km doesn't mean that it will not happen. Hello from the Southeast US. We're in a severe drought here, and the rivers and streams are drying up. We get most of our electricity from hydroelectric dams. If this drought keeps going on, there won't be enough water for large areas. What then? And why are we using water to create electricity when we can split atoms? Store water, don't waste it using it for energy.
Well, based on their logic, Windows is their software, so they can do what they want with it, right? I mean you only have a privilege of using it, but it is still their software, therefore they can update whatever they want of it, right? If not, then perhaps the argument against this would overturn all kinds of "it's our stuff, not yours" crud that is true for everything from OSes to music. Either it's theirs and they can do what they want, or it's the end user's. One or the other. Perhaps this could lead down the path to shedding the problems everyone has had with ownership, and will usher in a new era of "if you buy it, it's yours". I know I'm dreaming, but wouldn't that be nice?
See, that's what he gets for taking the laptop apart and changing the operating system, then doing a sloppy job putting it back together again, damaging the hinge. How dare he try to get away with this? TO THE DUNGEONS!!!
Ah, to sit in wonderment of all that's presented to you, and swallow most of the garbage you're fed. Let's see them map someone who is patently gullible, and see if they have the same amount of brain twittering going on as LIEberals. Certainly a gullible person has to suspend disbelief in order to fall for stuff, right? And wouldn't suspending disbelief require all sorts of brain wave activity? Anyway, I'd rather trust someone who sticks to their convictions than someone who wants to stop and think about every danged thing going on around them. "Incoming!!!" "Well, then, let's stop and think about this..." Yeah, right. or: "Your pants are on fire!" "When you say pants, do you mean..." Wishy washy people cause more problems than they solve.
Negative one, flamebait? That's one of the best posts I've seen here in ages. Directly to the point. That person ought to get a freaking award. The little bit of news that Fox broadcasts is right on the money, and non biased. It's the opinion shows that Fox broadcasts that make people on the left direct so much hatred towards Fox news. Funny thing is, it's not the news portion of Fox news that they are complaining about. So their complaints are basically nutty. America was built on the right to an opinion, why does the left try so hard to silence any opinion they don't agree with, then say that the right is unAmerican?
Well, it's about danged time. I have been commenting on this since the first time I upgraded an nvidia driver back in Hoary. I have the latest gutsy (last week), and danged if I didn't get stuck out of x once again and have to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Thankfully Alberto came to the rescue once again with Envy and a little editing. Three cheers for Ubuntu getting something right that should have been done ages ago.
Whoa, that guy is totally wrapped up with self importance. I can't wait until this program is out so I can get all his pictures and mess them up. Out of pure spite, mind you. I really don't see why he's taking it so hard. What a blow hard.
It means that you think for yourself, and bring your own libations to the koolaid parties. I applaud you for feeling the same way about these two issues as I do. Furthermore, it is my belief that a bible thumping wife beater could balance the budget, make peace with other nations, and bring both parties together. On the other hand, I believe that an atheist gay cab driver could do these things, too. MANY REGISTERED OUTRIGHT TROLLS AROUND HERE would jump on the wagon making snide remarks, and doing as much harm as possible. The only thing keeping them from being elected is the ignorant publics reliance on the media and it's scare/smear/trash tactics. Babe Ruth was a womanizing drunkard, but look at what he did. In today's finger pointing holier than thou atmosphere, he'd never make it. I wonder how many "perfect candidates" will never run for office due to the skeletons in their closets?
Well if you ask me, the best way to handle this is to have a program you can run that lists what's available and the user can click on what the user wants and download it all at once and have it installed right then. No wait... that's already there. Synaptic. Just spend a little time looking for repos with stuff you want, and voila, ya'll.
