    The question is: Exponential growth, for a time anyhow, like CPU power/(dollar or watt) or diminishing returns like thermal efficiency of a heat engine.

    We could generate power 100% with coal and use batteries to smooth the peaks!

    Not a SJW.

    Commercial freedom of association died with the Civil Rights Act. That is just a historic fact. If you are running any kind of 'public accommodation' you don't have freedom of association in the USA.

    So host your forums overseas.

    Seriously, do you remember what happened the last time /. supported unicode?

    Unending trolling and counter-trolling, using burner accounts that look just like existing posters accounts, but using all sorts of foreign characters.

    DO NOT SUPPORT UNICODE in usernames, for S/N ratio. The umlaut people need to suck it.

    No. Sanders can't beat any of the republicans.

    Right now, Rs are registered as Ds to vote for Sanders. Otherwise he wouldn't even stand a chance in the primaries.

    Hillary is our only hope for retaining girdlock. Sanders nomination is a R win.

    We don't ally with any of them. Don't kid yourself, none are our allies.

    We maintain a stalemate, Iran/Iraq war style. Whichever side is losing; we have someone they trust, sell them more weapons.

    Should be good for 20 years. By which time alternative energy sources will have matured enough that petroleum matters much less. Then we can get around to seriously punishing them.
