But don't try to tell any of this to the cult of global warming.
There are a lot of us in this cult (cult of reality is you ask me), who favour using less fuels, rather than supplanting them with differnet types of fuels. We recommend changing the way we live, rather than keep on going on this path of destruction. The fact is most people don't care, and want to ignore the facts.
All passenger airfcraft will be replaced by harrier jumpjets.
The advantage is that journeys should be quicker.
Disadvantage is that it can only carry one passeneger at a time, flying will be ridiculously expensive, airways will be really congested and we will need about 1000x as many airports.
This isn't lack of humour, rather a new form of humour I have started to see more and more. It is pretending you didn't get the joke, make some serious observation, and then laugh when the person believs that you didn't get the joke. It is supposed to be done in person, but to be fair it doesn't work out much better.
The fact and figures have unfortunately been bought by a private bidder, and are currently on display in his conservatory. Public is not allowed to view.
What is you are the only plumber in town, and refused to work on weekends, and then found out that people were fixing there own toilets, and started suing them.
Nobody said MBAs can't be tech savvy. However, the fact of the matter is, most of them aren't.
This isn't even the problem. There is nothing wrong with having no tech experience, and being in charge of a tech team, as long as you listen to the people in the team. It is when you start making decisions on your own that problems occur.
In some countries they have this new invention called a number plate, that goes on the back and sometimes the front of the car. These are unique to each car, and car owner is registered to that number plate.
More expensive yes, if anything else jumped in price the way gas has, you'd be screaming bloody murder. But with this you get to sit on your high horse and point. Lots of things are finite resources, water for example.
Water isn't a finite resource, it gets recycled, unlike Petrol. We are not running out of water in the world, despite location based problems.
But I take your point. I do feel smug in that I don't rely on a car, and have positioned myself deliberately so that I don't have to buy one. I have had to make sacrifices, paying more for rent, not living in as nice a house, living in the noisy city. You did not have to make these sacrifices, and now you are paying the price.
The first game I cracked was Mechwarrior, which invovled the genius technique of searching through the exe file for the code names needed, and blanking them out, so that you only had to press return.
I thought it was the easiest thing in the world, my friends all thought I was some sort of computer genius.
And not so much seething in rage, just found some more time to do non-computer related activites. Not being able to play HL2 hasn't seemed to affect me so far.
It is also amazing how much parents whinge, when they have to actually do a little parenting.
and several more hours doing homework and being online,
So what the hell are you doing during these times? Watching TV? Get of the couch, and start doing stuff with your kids, you lazy bum. Kick them of the computer, take them somewhere.
their peers have greater influence over their personality and decisions than their parents do.
The key here is the word GREATER, where you and a lot of parents seem to perceive that word to mean ALL. Just because you have dimished influence, doesn't mean you can not control your kids, and change the way they behave, but a lot of people seem to give up. It sounds like you are one of them. You hoping for the best strategy is not going to work.
He makes a good point. What the report on the media is the extremists, whereas most people don't really care, and do laught at them. But we see the extermists and think that the country (Iraq, Iran) is full of them.
Here is a little clue you might like to use. Gas is just going to get more and more expensive. Try to use that information in the future. People have only been warned since about the 1970s, and gas has been getting more and more expensive. You can choose to keep ignoring the warnings, and this will keep happening to you. Even if there is a respite in gas prices in the near future, it will only be short term.
Do you really think I or any other SUV/Truck owner drives over people on a daily basis or something?
No, but we do think that you care less about your fellow man, by driving these dangerous beasts around, and using up extra resources in the process. It is partly your fault that we have higher fuel prices. We do notice that you tend to care less about obeying the road rules, and drive more dangerously since you will more than likely come of ok in any transaction. We do know that you seem to have worse driving skills on average, when you should have better.
(Not you personally of course, but just in general.)
There is still a lot of stuff you will only find in the library. If you ever try to search for someone not big in IT or not obvious, then you will need to go to other sources. Someone famous 20 years ago but not nerd material, library will still have loads of information on them.
I'll go with waiting for science to get all the facts right and remove political/personal agendas.
Yes, this is why I choose to believe in Gravity, until they find some sort of graviton, or have all the facts explained to me in very simple language, I am just going to float everywhere.
You never get all the facts, you never get 100% proof. Waiting for that to happen, well, it never will.
Doesn't make your statement any more correct. But it does make it easier to argue about when you lie about a particular group. Congratulations. Being a rightist, you probably believe all that shit as well.
Way to misrepresent the problem. Ok, so maybe C02 can have some good side effect, but I don't see you arguing for the positive effect of pouring other sort of pollution into the air and waterways, dumping mercury and other toxic metals all over the place, filling the oceans full or trash, etc...
Yes, I can count the number of people I know who have i phones as about 5 as well. But I guarantee you, it is the most popular phone amound all the people I know, the rest mostly have cheap phones, or ones given out by their carriers. A few have HTCs (2 or 3), so the iphone is winning.
These are mostly to provide protection against laptop loses. You may be surprised but there aren't that many spies running around lifting people finger prints/getting thier pictures while stealing laptops, only in the movies really.
Now while I am sure this sort of thing does happen outside of movies, why don't you use your fucking brain and think about it for a second. Does it happen to the average person? NO.
I guess we should have locks, because someone can lock-pick/bump them.
Wow, mod me down all you want, but there are some stupid people around here.

A small price to pay for vigilance.

You analogy is a bit rusty.
What is you are the only plumber in town, and refused to work on weekends, and then found out that people were fixing there own toilets, and started suing them.
That is a more accurate analogy.
Nobody said MBAs can't be tech savvy. However, the fact of the matter is, most of them aren't.

Neat, huh?
Or do what the French and British used to do, and take it out to somebody elses backyard to test it. Much better idea.

I agree, I am the same.
And not so much seething in rage, just found some more time to do non-computer related activites. Not being able to play HL2 hasn't seemed to affect me so far.
floppy warranty.
Ha, that is one of the funniest thing I have ever heard of.

It is because we hate Microsoft, and like competition. Either you have only just arrived here, or you really are very thick.
I saw the same movie, and thought the same thing.

do cars make people drive drunk?
do purses make people thieves?
No, but cars do make people lazy and fat.
And poverty does turn people into thieves.
And purses do make it easier for people to steal.
So this is a reasonable comment, and your analogies might be proof of afore-mentioned stupidity.
