That would be why I made sure to include in my post "unless they had a gun...." piece. You remind me of a girl I once knew, she would always extract a small group of words from what I would say, which on its own, would make the rest of the sentence useless.. or unimportant or worse, totally off topic, yet I find reassurance in this point... knowing that her kind is not endangered. O_O
I would think the parts being able to be charged this way...car battery would be changed to this, while other appliances like HDD or LCD etc... might stay typical old fashioned plug in...baby steps here.
There is something that happens to wind once you start to place too may turbines/windmills close together. Just like aerodynamics dictates, you put too may obstacles close to each other, the wind will be effectively diminished, thereby providing much less power then first though. So the model that this scientist proposes, would be great in a perfect world, but in real life, having too many turbines close together might not be such a great idea....however!!! if we were to only put 1/4 of the amount of turbines he is talking about, we would have enough energy to supply our needs = to today's consumption...which in itself is still pretty damn good!
A bit of population control, we could maintain this level of life/consumption indefinitely... but we all know those damn chinese love to fornicate!
They were able to test about only 400 times the reason why they do not like condoms while fornicating.... unless they went in further then the price drops to about 100$ per...making it more like 4000 times.... Still, not enough times spent because you have a 1 in 5000 chance of catching something without wearing a condom... or so the commercial goes....!
Or...it could be we finally are going to have a crashing asteroid hit our planet, as everybody has been to the movies has seen already. This is it, the end is coming, the end is coming....quick, where is my umbrella?
I guess the assumption on your part that all geeks are wimps, is probably the bigger spin here! I bench 400....I doubt that the thief in question could do the same, and even if he did, I would love the fight, as there is not enough big guys in weight division! The only thing I would have to worry about is if he had a gun, but I would make sure not to let him see me coming!
I would use it to purposely lose my phone somewhere where a thief would take it, then track him down and webcam the whole thing, then do a "dog the bounty hunter" session on the guy, come in with guns waving in the air, that would be so cool....I might just youtube this!
How much are they sliding to the judge under the table? They have money to throw at the judge, to make sure to set a precedent, they are fueled by the big music and even movie companies to make this case a precedent. There will be money exchanging hands here for sure...also there is an obscene lack of introspective insight into the technology realm, maybe they could site the judge awarding such an amount, is due to the fact he does not even know what the songs are really worth! Isn't there a law against that?
What about eHarmony, at least if they have an account on eHarmony, you know they are not computer illiterates. If they have a WoW account, pass me their number, I would want to meet them too!
Pass her the KY, I am sure that her butt hurts! Seriously, the judge has no real world knowledge of what songs cost, because if he did, he would have laughed at this, the fact he ruled in favor shows the judges need to be replaced with younger ones, because they are still old school, not even aware what mp3s stand for let alone what they should cost!
Actually someone was doing a study on these type of occurrences and was trying to concur that expanding a city's living plans might need a better decision structure in place. I always though to myself that the most efficient structure that can go up is a self sustaining apartment building with shops at the bottom floor for whole slew of services, not only for the amount of traffic it generates, but also for the economy as a whole...when you have a laundromat , a blockbuster, a subway, a loblaws all on the first floor and the rest is apartments on the rest of the floors, you can save alot of time from running around...also a certain amount of close proximity is needed for let's say next door's apartment contains a florist, a shoemaker etc... but with a repeating cycle of about 4 blocks before hitting another of the same service. This is exactly what happens in downtown new york....and it's amazing!
The only thing is that when a structure goes down, because of proximity, it affects others as well. Take for example 9/11 when a building went down, the adjacent buildings all suffered massive damages...some of which were too extreme to repair. We could limit the amount of floors this type of concrete "web" could be allowed to have...
Anyone remember those self sustaining bio-domes...well this would be a close precursor before actually bringing into the frey, biologicals, solar energy retention, water recycling etc...
I agree, like the power companies, have a certain level of responsibility towards the gov. to prove what they create use and sell, so should we, and not to the lame ass management that knows nothing about bandwidth numbers, but a real techie that can tell when the ISPs are double charging for stuff or doing certain "shady" practices to stop themselves giving more then they should really be giving.
Yes,yes,yes, you say the same stuff that most headhunters do when they try to help you find a job.
However, when was the last time you lost a job during an economic crisis, where everyone else was also losing your job, you did not have that much money saved up for the time in between jobs, and had a family to feed?
The last great depression was before you were born, this is a historic event taking place, where people are losing jobs by the hundreds of thousands...let's not even talk about the ones that were already looking for a job before this happened. And most companies have frozen their job hiring... so when I say be thankful to have a job....I mean anyone with half a mind to know what I mean.
Dude, you should not even dignify him with a response, he so just wanted to take a shot at how US is so crap, and his nation is so great because they don't use their weapons, they also sit on the side lines, when dictators are busy using the new genocide weapons they bought on their own population.
He forgets his nation went through a transition with the similar problem back in the dark ages, seeing as his nation is 1000s of years old, and ours hundreds.... I would say we did pretty good for ourselves so far, considering we have 60 times the population they do....and 60 times the possibility for crime, chaos, and gov. related disasters.
When a gov of 20 people find out they were tricked by one amongst them who is leader...not much happens other then...guess we wont be doing that again...when a gov. of 1200 people find out they were tricked, they will surely act more like a lynch mob then the 20 people..why...because of the numbers.
Many studies prove the bigger the number, the bigger the differences in a government. You can not apply to a government like the US, policies that would work in Okinawa!
Anyways...lame comment on his part if you ask me..... raise that US flag bud!
I agree so much...it hurts....! Not only if something like an asteroid was coming to Earth would the world not know about it because the gov. would not want to cause panic...so too about the earth going into a disaster like an ice age in the next year...or say the sun exploding etc...etc..
I for long always thought there was a 3rd axle we did not see or think about in terms of orbit, thereby affecting our climate and atmosphere, much like a coin being put on its side on a coffee table and spun, at some moments you can see 3 differing axles.
I do know we will not be made known if a disaster approaches, therefor, if someone is lying I would think this is the more probable of the 2 options you mention. If you look at the cycle you preceded with though, it is tough to guesstimate seeing as we are minute in the timeline you depict.
Our calculations are most probably wrong, but the overall jist is the same. Another ice age is definitely coming soon (in terms of timeline) but to use we might be extinct before this happens.
If the 3rd axle I declare (and want credit for when everyone realizes what I am talking about)... they will see this as a sort of twisting on the current axle thereby making something like Canad be turned on its side so that north is not pure north any longer, but the eastern Canadians have now warmer climates and the western have more brisk winters...
This can be calculated on all continents, coupled with the fact that continents are still changing, reefs expanding and faults collapsing and breaking...this is the earth expanding/changing its form based on the equator having a bigger mass of water to deal with.
Think yourself how lucky you are to still have a job, while you are working on a small personal project at home. Remember the times when all those people at work had problems using Outlook because it wasn't configured right. As you develop a little script that fully reconfigures Outlook to include personal Archiving and a whole slew of other things that seem to be repeated at your job as requests people ask from you, then you will see the light.
If you have to do something more then 3 times, script it. Then when you see something needing to be done more then 10 times, publish your script open source and let your work (careful of proprietary rights here though)...see that the script you created is posted on a site with lots of traffic.
Not only does it look like you are a part of another community (the dev forums), but it shows you keep up to date, and help keep others do the same....as well as think of innovative ways to improve performance at work...this goes a long way!
That's probably because they didn't need you anymore seeing as most of the client base you had was probably laid off too, no use keeping 20 support techies when the phones dont ring!
I agree that we should question these things, although they are more common sense then anything else, the gold/silver does not fluctuate the same as a country's economy, and all countries recognize gold in some way shape or form, where as money from one country may not be recognized in another country. This is the sole reason to keep a sort of balance between all countries.
If we in turn try to mess with that equation inside our country, because of a loop hole, I tend to believe that country will seek to discourage ( even make an example ) of such cases to deter this from happening. However nothing stops you from melting down the nickel in your basement then reselling it... except getting caught. He got caught, or was brazen about it.
They did not learn their lesson with Vista, and now they continue onwards with the same silly stance on license activation for their products, as well as making things difficult to no end, for no good reason other then to frustrate the user from ever trying to go to xp.
The problem is they do not understand windows microsoft ended AT XP! No one wants to go further with the line then XP, they should just accept this, and make things easier for those with XP, and enforce XP, secure it further, as it seems no one wants to move, even if you pay them to, or offer a free version of Vista (which they arent even doing)
Do they even have the right to just blast away at anything they want....what do other nations think of possibly crippling the moon should the explosion be too big.
What about this supposed crash into the earth, is this why they are really trying to nudge the moon off its course...
What if they had discovered something up on the moon, and wanted to destroy it (such as aliens) before we found out about it, or any other country (China) were to set foot on the moon, maybe there was an agreement with an alien life form to not divulge its existence to humankind.
What if this is really a ploy to hide the fact that we never went up to the moon, and by somehow disturbing or destroying the moons surface enough, to change any markers (footprints) left behind by our astronauts (supposedly), they would never prove otherwise that we never REALLY set foot on the moon, and that the whole thing was staged.
What if this back fires, and destroys the moon in half, and changes our whole magnetic field caused by the moon's pull, could we see a chaotic future with anarchy running a muck?
Maybe the "hacked" version of FireFox or IE you downloaded from what you thought was a great download site, does, as it has a built in auto clicker, to generate revenue for the guy that has adsense on his web page, and wants everyone to click on his ads...so he creates a bad version of each, sends it to his friends or family, and watches his revenue grow...although now he indirectly makes other people click on links that lead you to websites, then installs malware.Ooops.
However, I have a lot of speculation on any theory especially those about space where we have yet to really explore and travel, where someone assumes a few laws about existence of such an anomaly, and therefor think themselves experts on the subject. I tend to think it is a work in progress until we can provide 100% proof that wood floats in water, or ice melts into water, etc....we have no proof of anything concerning black holes, because we don't even have one near us to view and analyze......!
I agree with you 100% on this matter, it usually is a matter of decision by upper management, when to ship and if we ship with bugs or not. Regardless of if our testing team found stuff, they get the "I don't want to hear it" attitude, and it falls to the way side, until someone goes, "hey why didn't you tell us this,.....ahem ya that's right you DID!"...usually that's when heads roll in the admin department...lol.

That would be why I made sure to include in my post "unless they had a gun...." piece.
You remind me of a girl I once knew, she would always extract a small group of words

knowing that her kind is not endangered. O_O
I would think the parts being able to be charged this way...car battery would be changed to this, while other appliances like HDD or LCD etc... might stay typical old fashioned plug in...baby steps here.

Yeah, but how could you pass up a beautiful Tauren female...
nothing like banging a cow you know!
