I love the false dichotomy. You assume that's it's offshore drilling or nothing.
It's nice to know our educational system is spitting out such top notch problem solvers such as you.
Offshore drilling is a red herring. There's not enough oil domestically to offset our addiction. The only course of action is to move away from oil. We need to start conserving and using other energy sources. We need to develop distribution systems for energy sources such as hydrogen and electricity to make using those sources easier. We need to upgrade our electrical grid. This will make easier to shift energy around and it will decrease the amount of energy loss in transmission. We need to move to energy efficient appliances and have smart meters so consumers can see just how much energy their appliances are consuming and find ways to cut back. Face it when you have a $200 electric bill, you'll want to find ways to cut back.
Conservation and Efficiency that's how you solve the problem. Something our fathers did. Too bad it's lost on moron like you.
How isn't everyone paying for it? Do you know what products oil is used to make? Aside for gasoline, plastics/rubber is another big product of petroleum. Pharmaceuticals uses petroleum. The list is quite long.
Hey fucking moron. The tribe did not ask for anything. WTFA! The researchers approached the tribe and asked them to participate in a study that might help their diabetes. The tribe was NEVER informed that their DNA samples would be used for other research such as schizophrenia!
The point of the post is that this company lied about its operations. Their inability to operate properly could impact their ability to pay back their loans and then put the tax payer on the hook for millions and millions of dollars.
You shouldn't talk about things you know nothing about, it makes you look like and ass.
1.) It costs money to upgrade, unless there is money in the budget, corporations aren't going to do that.
2.) There may not be an upgrade to the program. Thus the company is stuck using that program until an alternative is found.
3.) Companies standardize around a single browser. It costs less to maintain a single browser rather than multiple browsers.
4.) Upgrading the browser does not necessary improve security. Many browser hacks still exist in current browser versions. A proper security SOP is far better than using the latest browser.
Give it up. The guy did not want to pay his taxes. He ha a long history of not paying his taxes and on several occasions tried to set himself up for tax exempt status.
Yeah it's not like the tobacco industry ever lied to us or the Oil industry. I mean really, corporations have our best interests at heart. It's really all those greedy greedy scientists, whizzing around in their Ferrari's that are the problem.
Um yeah they did. They spoke about how with Global warming you will see extremes in temperatures. You will see very cold winters and very warm summers.
Too bad you missed that. But I guess when you only accept bits of information that fit your world view, it's easy to ignore reality.
There is no ban on building nuclear power plants. Where did you get that?
The problem is companies can't get loans from banks because it costs lots of money to build a nuclear power plant and loans that were provided were defaulted. That's why the US says it will guarantee them.
Hey Jackass, did you include all the supplemental spending?
$685 billion is the base. Then through the course of year the defense gets more money from congress.
We are spending $10 Billion/month in Iraq. We have already spent over several Trillions dollars are the Iraq fiasco alone!!
Get a clue moron, defense spending is the largest part of the US expenditures. The deference is it's not an entitlement program, it just acts like one.
And yet that did not happened to a cable-operated system!
Ass.
Toyota should have an override system. They did not. It's also an issue with design:
"...condensation from heaters caused increased friction in the gas pedal, making it stick in some cases"
Toyota should have determined scenarios where a gas pedal would stick do to condensation. That's a pretty common thing, condensation. If you gas pedal is going to stick because of it, that's a hazard!
If you have read any assessment of using the moon as a launching point for space travel you would have known that it is not practical. It wastes less energy to travel to mars directly than to go to the moon.
But the are you willing to pay for it? How much in taxes are you willing to pay for manned spaceflight?
Other than pure sensationalism there is no practical reason for manned space flights. We have learned more about our universe through deep space probes, satellites and planetary probes than we could have ever learned from manned space flights. They also have the added benefit of costing less, lasting longer and not killing anyone!
You are aware that space travel costs money. When Congress doesn't fund space travel, it's very hard to go back to the moon and take a trip to Mars.
But hey if you want to see your taxes go up to pay space travel, then I urge you to write your senator and congressman and ask them increase your taxes to pay for this.
Except that the polling in the Massachusetts's election found the voters DID NOT vote against O'bama. Polls found that voters supported the President.
Republicans support the same heavy handed approach by the RIAA and big business. Republicans support big banks and Wall Street; their deregulation approach lead to the collapse of the economy. In fact Republicans support big bonuses handed out to the genius employees of the failed banks and are against stopping the bonuses.
So, yeah Republicans are going to keep winning...not.
Great post. Agree 100%. Couldn't believe the author of the article was trying to make the case to stay with an un-secure browser.
Worse yet, the same exploit effects all versions of IE, 6 through IE 8. But somehow the author said the exploit was lessoned using IE 8 on Windows 7. Other articles begged to differ.
It's about data. When an iPhone user uses Google for a search, Google has data on that user. If Apple switches to a different search provider, Google does not have data on that search.
That's the holy grail of advertising, search data. Knowing what the user is searching for allows you to provide direct marketing, i.e. better ads that are relevant to the user.

He was a nut job plain and simple.

You are missing the fact that the United States does not produce turbines. China does. So the US market is way behind that of China.
The US will be playing catchup to China.
And yet that did not happened to a cable-operated system!

Hate to break it to you but Microsoft does the same thing.
Are you an idiot?
If you have read any assessment of using the moon as a launching point for space travel you would have known that it is not practical. It wastes less energy to travel to mars directly than to go to the moon.
Right...get a grip zippy.

I think we need to start thinning out the heard and I nominate you as the prime candidate.
Oh and can we start storing nuclear waste in your backyard. Why should the government have a monopoly on storing nuclear waste.
Jackass!
You are a complete a$$-hole.
You have no idea about the complexities of space travel but you think that some bottom-dollar company can execute space travel without any problems.
Go back under the rock you crawled out from.
You are aware that space travel costs money. When Congress doesn't fund space travel, it's very hard to go back to the moon and take a trip to Mars.
But hey if you want to see your taxes go up to pay space travel, then I urge you to write your senator and congressman and ask them increase your taxes to pay for this.
Moron.
So are you deliberately forgetting about all the lobbyists that will fight any regulation???
And the other country we are relying is Russia. They have the same experience as NASA.
This *IS* ROCKET SCIENCE. We should not be taking chances with private companies that will transport people at a "competitive cost."
They can't get plans to fly on-time, why do you think they can handle space travel!!

Yeah keep thinking that zippy.
How exactly will emergency phone calls like 911 work?
Yeah see that's the problem. There's alot more going on with phone number than you realize.
Then of course there are the privacy concerns.
Techno-morons need to think and stop masturbating over shiny new gadets!
