    Nope. I can't reach their nameservers - it's not that they are pretending the sites within don't exist. They are not listening at all.

    That might have mattered back when SOPA was still a thing people cared about.

    This right there is why this stuff is so insidious. We have to be vigilant.

    The only people pointing this out are themselves clueless.

    They are talking about those red "map light" type of lights, that are designed to let you see but not effect your dark-adaptation.

    I'm OK with that. Expecting such things to be done altruistically is cute, but not realistic.

    In a place like New York, you shouldn't have to dig. Shouldn't there be plenty of space and pullcords in the existing conduits?

    Hell, tie the fibre to the copper and yank the copper out.

  10. Re:I had the exact opposite experience on The Problems With Online Math Classes · · Score: 1

    I agree with the cautions on trusting an instructor, yet at the same time a student is not a good judge either. If I am learning something for the first time, how am I to know that what I've been taught is good until I have a chance to put it to use?

    The same way teachers check you? Provide a problem, and check that the solution matches. Repetitions with different problems increase certainty.

    Most textbooks perform this function on their own.

  11. You've got it backwards.

    The 'shop certainly makes it look more insane, but in the spots where you can see the original colors it's still discolored. It's more of a ruddy brown, but it's still reddish.

    Nevermind. You weren't talking about the current gradients, I guess? Perhaps this?

    Differing water temperatures, idiot.

    Or would you try to tell me a cloud front was "photoshopped in?" It's the same phenomena.

    I will continue to block ads until there are no such ads as that "try this 1 weird trick to lose abdominal fat" bullshit.

    Unfortunately for sites that need ad revenue to survive, this means they won't ever get it from me.

    Advertisers shat where they eat the moment they forgot about things like "standards."

    "I don't want to pay for heating oil" - "Then move to Nevada!"

    I could go on and on with examples as to why that logic is flawed.

  20. Re:Evacuation test run next year ??? on Mt. Fuji May Be Close To Erupting · · Score: 1

    Large enough explosives wouldn't do the job? Something like a bunker buster might well trigger a fault movement, and may cause enough disruption to the rock to trigger a magma chamber breach?

    Eg, I'm sure you could drill down to a point, and plant a suitable device. No need to just deploy an existing munition like my example bunker buster.

  21. Re:Drill a hole, relieve the pressure? on Mt. Fuji May Be Close To Erupting · · Score: 2

    Well, you could nail the side with a bunker-buster or something and just blow it open. Less controlled, but more controlled then just letting it do it when/where it wants.

  22. Re:In Olde English units on Mt. Fuji May Be Close To Erupting · · Score: 1

    Can't they measure seismic as well? The velocity a wave travels through would be effected by the medium's pressure, no?

    There are tons of earthquakes going on all the time that seismometers can pick up. Compare what others receive vs what those that would be occluded by the magma chamber and you might be able to deduce something? (especially in comparison to normal behavior)

  23. Re:Evacuation test run next year ??? on Mt. Fuji May Be Close To Erupting · · Score: 2

    Hell, you'd think they would move everyone away and do something to TRIGGER an eruption, when they are ready for it.

    Probably the best way to go about it - you can do it on your terms, or you can do it when the mountain wants to do it.
