Oh good grief. Al Gore shows you a way to make money off of reducing carbon emissions to satisfy the corporate crowd and you think it's some kind of plot??? Damn what have you been smoking??
FYI getting off of fossil fuels is a GOOD THING.
Being energy independent is a GOOD THING.
Not spilling millions of gallons of oil in the Gulf and destroying the fishing industry is a GOOD THING.
Lowering my utility bills and transportation costs is ideal to me. I like saving money.
Old news. Yes Halliburton is responsible for the well head and they are under investigation.
However, BP decided against emergency shut off valves because, "it cost to much." BP also lobbied the government that they did not need environmental impact studies or a detailed plan on how to clean up an oil spill since they claimed 165,000 gallons of oil would never reach the coast.
And you know this how? The well has been leaking for a month now.
"About a half dozen tar balls had been collected by Saturday afternoon at Dauphin Island, Coast Guard chief warrant officer Adam Wine said in Mobile. Authorities planned to test the substance but strongly suspected it came from the oil spill."
"We may need to interpret the laws created since the original Constitution was written, but the Bill of Rights is not up for interpretation it just is. They are rights given to us from above not from man."
You've lost all credibility. You know the 3/5 rule was written the same time as the Bill of Rights. The Founding Father created a process whereby we the people can change the constitution. That's part of the constitution.
And no this doesn't come from God or the Spaghetti monster. If you actually were a student of history you would understand that. These men were coming from countries that Kings who's right to sovereign were quote, granted by god. They did not want that! All men are created equal and have inalienable rights...that meant the people have rights, not just kings a queens. It had nothing to do with god.
FYI the constitution, all of it, is subject to interpretation. If you were a constitutional scholar you would understand that. But then again I highly doubt you are a history buff - whatever that means.
Yeah because all those people posting are oil experts with references to back up their claims. Unlike the author of the article who has a video showing the pipe has a 5 feet diameter.
"Even if the premise that the news is massively underreporting the size of the spill is true, this is not the way to correct it."
Actually it is by having people ask questions that are raised in this article. You know the one where BP filed a report saying 165,000 barrels of oil will never reach land. Oil has already reached land. So does that mean BP was incorrect in it's reporting that 165,000 barrels of oil could not reach land or does that mean more than 165,000 barrels of oil is coming out of the hole?
I see, so you are going to accept everything BP says....
BP PR release #1: Everythings fine no oil spill.
BP PR release #2: Ok there's an oil spill but it's not bad.
BP PR release #3: Ok there's an oil spill and it's bad but it's not our fault and besides were only liable for $75 million in damages. Have a nice day!
"Adobe is providing optimized Adobe Flash Player technology to Google and Yahoo! to enhance search engine indexing of the Flash file format (SWF) and uncover information that is currently undiscoverable by search engines"
Uh yeah that's really opening up the flash specification. I didn't know making flash SEARCHABLE was the same thing as making a file format open and freely to be implemented by non-adobe software. douche bag.
"The people around the world were inspired by the human exploration of space and the expanding of man's frontier," the letter said. "It suggested that what had been thought to be impossible was now within reach."
Hey Armstrong, the '70s are over. Besides isn't very Pro America to develop commercial capabilities to send humans into low earth orbit...I mean come on did you not see 2001!
Natural disaster or man-made disaster? Because other than an asteroid hitting the planet, there isn't a natural disaster that would wipe out all life on this planet.
And FYI, we are nowhere near the cability to colonize another planet. Not now, nor within 100 years.
But hey tell the poor shrimper in New Orleans we need to spend Billions on NASA so that someday we can land a man on mars meanwhile we can't do a damn thing to stop BP's Oil spill from killing his shrimping bed.
"I don't care if some old fossil of a professor loves Pascal. Suck it up, learn a new language. Your job is to keep up on shit. Any educator that themselves refuses to continually learn should be fired."
The same can be said of the fucking student. Get off your fucking ass and read a book, take a language details course.
Seriously, do you really think you are going to know all you need to when you graduate from college? Do you really think you stop learning? Do you really think your employer will not expect you to learn on your own the latest and greatest technology???
Jesus Christ, most people can't get a job when they graduate because they don't have experience!
You don't have practical experience when you graduate from college unless you do alot of internships. College teaches fundamentals. You want to learn Java...you want to be a programmer...pick up a fucking book and learn. Supplement your college courses.
"teach these using a languag WILL use when they actually get into industry, than with stuff they may rarely come up against. "
Really? And what language will people be using in 4-6 years?
That's the point. The language is not important. It's not a language course, it's a programming course. You are teaching programming concepts not the details of a language. Take a freakin' language course to learn the language.
FYI COBOL is still widely used in the financial sector...maybe they should teach COBOL.
Hey douche bag Obama said the problem is when "information becomes a distraction...rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation."
Do you get the point. It's the same problem parents have been complaining about for the past 40 years! First it was TV, then Video Games, and now it's the Internet. All forms of distraction. People read less and pay less attention to the world around them.
"With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations -- none of which I know how to work -- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Obama said at Hampton University in southeastern Virginia.
Another words - stop playing the damn video games and read a fucking book!
Software still needs to be transferred from the physical medium, it doesn't magically appear on your hard drive. Thus, the method of distribution is irrelevant. Whether it's downloaded, provided on a CD/DVD, Flash drive, software NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED.
And FYI the physical medium is irrelevant to the software, it is used strictly as a means of conveyance.
The Jude was a complete and utter moron and yes it was his fucking job to interpret the law. Nothing in the law states that software need to be provided on some physical medium to act as an "over the counter" purchase!

That's what happens when you don't know how to program! You choose one language one platform over all others.
Besides what's the big deal doesn't Droid support Flash. Won't Droid have a bigger market than iPhone because of this?
Or is the reality that Flash developers are screwed because Apple has sounded the death knell for Flash and soon other smart phones will follow, like Microsoft. Now Flash developers will have to learn another language, like the rest of us because time stands still for noone.
The only people who are complaining are flash developers. No one cares about flash. We don't want our cell phones or browsers to crash because of some god dam !@#$%^ site that is so heavily reliant on flash!
And he's a flash developer....hmmm....self promotion....
Look douche bag Steve Job's letter was 100% correct, there's no FUD there as you state. And hey captain obvious, JOBS MENTIONED VIDEO. Wow you act like it's some kind of secret. It's not.
FYI MOST PEOPLE CAN'T STAND FLASH! We just deal with it because of the morons who can't build web sites or videos without flash.
Slashdot Mirror
Umm...hi...but the price of everything went up when oil was trading over $90/barrel and gas was about $4.50/gallon.
Remember that?
You know airlines need to charge extra because high fuel costs. Amazon charged more in shipping because of fuel costs.
Most friggin' products use oil in one fashion or another, in either it's production and/or transportation.
So this is currently going on!! Moron.

BP is very much at fault!

That was from May 7th!
I think it's safe to say the tar balls that have reached the Keys are from the BP Oil Spill.

Wait...I thought that was God doing all the writing....are you saying Jesus is bigger than God!
Blasphemy!
As opposed to any moron who listens to you because your an oil expert and this is your lunch hour.
Go home zippy.
Blame the oil lobbyists and Senator Murkowski of Alaska who oppose raising the limit to 10 Billion because it would hurt mom and pop oil drillers.
Yeah because all those people posting are oil experts with references to back up their claims. Unlike the author of the article who has a video showing the pipe has a 5 feet diameter.
