Uhm yeah but if the value of human work continually decreases because of an over-abundance of humans to do it, you've got a problem that renders static theories mote.
The assumption that the kind of population growth we've had the last 200 + years can go on is one worth questioning.
Billions will die. Billions. Many of us might actually be around to witness it. Hopefully not me. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. The dead could very well be the lucky ones.
"What will happen when you finally occupy every planet in this galaxy?"
Captain Gorsid's puzzled eyes met Yoal's, then flashed to Veed, then Enash. Enash shrugged his torso negatively, and felt pity for the creature.
The man didn't understand, possibly never could understand. It was the old story of two different viewpoints, the virile and the decadent, the race that aspired to the stars and the race that declined the call of destiny.
"Why not," urged the man, "control the breeding chambers?"
"And have the government overthrown!" said Yoal.
He spoke tolerantly, and Enash saw that the others were smiling at the man's naivete.
He felt the intellectual gulf between them widening. The creature had no comprehension of the natural life forces that were at work.
The man spoke again:
"Well, if you don't control them, we will control them for you."
Windows and remove unnecessary files, you probably aren't going to notice how much free space you have on your flash drive anyway.
The whole point is cloud compatibility; you don't need a TB of local storage anymore. Things have changed, though it's always interesting to note what proportions of the posting/. crowd are still living in their mom's basements in 1996 !
Could be viewed as just another way to ensure cheap labor and corporate masters.
For all the talk here about foreign students paying their way, and how great it is to make "friends" with your former enemies from abroad, I have to wonder where you all were when the Chinese MBA's started buying up US companies and replacing their staffs with Chinese speaking immigrants, and where you all were when the massive outsourcing devalued tech and manufacturing jobs.
You will serve your corporate masters well in the new world order !
1. The surfaces being covered weren't all very absorptive to begin with and...
2. Most of those surfaces have been and are intentionally being made more reflective now than any solar array is, and...
3. Your math skills suck, period.
In the real world, we upgrade and adapt to remain competitive.
People clinging to 11 year old hardware and OS's are simply incompetent. Sure there will always be niches where it's simply unnecessary to upgrade, but those are few and far between.
I wont even touch 11 year old hardware; it's junk.
Antiques are certainly nostalgic, but I'm not in the business of nostalgia, I'm in the business of keeping my clients competitive and able to get the work they need done, done.
There are people who look ahead, and there are people who look back. I live in the present while looking always towards the future, and successful businesses do too.
It's remarkable how extreme and outrageous many religious people are when it comes to the statements they make about gay people, much of it is outright defamation, and most of it is just plain false and slanderous, and obviously designed to foster hate.
I say let all these religious hypocrite assholes get exactly hat they want - but they aren't going to like it applied to themselves one bit.
I'd agree if "the team" was doing something that had appropriate monitoring and participation from everyone that could be impacted.
But they haven't. They've done something massive with little to no regard to who it may impact, and they've intentionally left organizations and people out of the loop so that if something catastrophic goes wrong, it will be difficult to prov they did it, and be held responsible.
So, no, this isn't about "learning something" it's about some scumbags going for carbon credits. Its a carbon credit lottery, and the potential biggest losers didn't even have the choice weather to buy the tickets.
Even when they manage to have the correct one, what they're doing isn't right. When a mob appoints itself to be judge, jury, and executioner - you've lost civilization.
A bunch of anonymous people on the internet is not a substitution for justice; it's a reversion to a kind of tribal pack mentality./. calls anonymous posters anonymous cowards for a reason - that's what they are.
Protesting something so stupid, and none saying "really ? who cares"
That tells me all I need to know about Islam and most Muslims.
Go back to the middle east, you don't belong in the West, and we're NEVER going to change to accommodate you. EVER. Get the fuck out.
There. I said it. Because it's true. LEAVE. We're NEVER going to change this basic right to accommodate you. EVER. It doesn't matter how many of us you murder. Get the fuck OUT.
But it's American corporations that just can't wait to shove this shit down our throats.
And if you don't think they've already shoved plenty of similar shit down our throats, you hav enot ben paying attention.
We have the most adulterated food supply in the world here in the US. We don't even have the most basic right, to know everything that's IN the food we buy. Our labeling laws have given the US food industry unprecedented control over our lives and health.
It's time American consumers demanded full food disclosure. The dirty little secret of the food industry needs to be told.

Periform, by doing this, just made BleachBit like 1000x's more popular.
And pretty much guaranteed a LOT of people will NOT actually BUY their other products...

He's not the only one that says so.
Just how many billions can the planet sustain ?

Hard to take you seriously for staying with the bank that you say is so incompetent.
Gone to heaven...
Well, he IS AC for a reason...
I don't know, are you thinking about the imploring to immediately agree with those who don't agree with you ?
WTF, you forgot all about Waco ?
Typical American Amnesia...

I wonder if they published private security employee and local and federal law enforcement data along with everybody else's data ?
So your objection is the inherent impurity of altruism itself ?
Why shouldn't rich people pay big bucks to ride out the Apocalypse they're afraid of, the one they've helped bring about ?
They should what, be able to do it for free ?
Or would it be more "altruistic" to just give these shelters to the poor - oh, THAT would certainly go down really well...
Giving my kid a tracking device that a scumbag school administrator can use for whatever they want - no, screw that.
Nobody's making you use windows.
Now STFU.
Hardware that is so obsolete is ridiculous.
In the real world, we upgrade and adapt to remain competitive.

It really IS that simple.

But that doesn't mean his dad IS wrong. It only means YOUR was.
Yet another plethora of reasons hospitals are death traps.
