I guess Theo van Gogh was meddling in their affairs as well and was not an infidel exposing them. As well I guess Salman Rushdie is only out to get their oil. Come on guys at least offer up some evidence to your argument.
You god dammed, leftist, commie, hippies need to get out of your parents basement and get a clue and most of all stop using this event as a forum to expound you ill informed and illogical views. Now, I am not saying that I agree with the measures that have been taken to stop the violence but this is neither the time nor place to puke up your garbage. Rather the correct and polite thing to say is:
Thank you Brittan for standing with us in theses dark times whether right or wrong and we greave for you loss. You are true friends and have stood by us as an ally, you remember our losses in your great wars and now we remember yours in our war.
I can't believe you actually site Amazon as an example. They flung money and business plans at that company until it had to work. EBay on the other hand was a real and new service that offered value to the customer and a new way for small business owners to compete in the electronic marketplace. EBay is a great example of a company that was bound for success on the net. Amazon just proved that if you throw enough money at something you will find someone to buy your crap. That is a rule of old economics, I believe PT Barnum was the conceived it.
Anyone who goes out of their way to make their hunting trips 'fair' is seriously fucked up.
Though possibly true, there are times when a man must truly see what he is made of and sometimes confronting nature 1 on 1 and a severe disadvantage, has not only the ability to change a person, but also allows someone to not see hunting as senseless killing but true survival of the fittest it allows one to understand our role and how delicate our climb to that role was.
For instance, I am one of those seriously fucked up people as I have faced many, many wild boar in bare handed combat and won (as well I once fought a panther and won but that was not by choice, and by won I mean I got out with my life it was more of a draw). To me the Internet is no different than the gun or the slaughter house it is all technology to give man the advantage. The men I hunt with as well as myself kind of just chuckle when we see the men from the city come out to the grounds with their modern rifles and there new camo outfits, all used in vein to become the great white hunter.
Conversely, I asked myself what was man greatest asset in hunting and how without guns or knifes or speed did we ever survive being so frail and the answer is deceptively clear, by intelligence and intelligence alone. By using intelligence man was able to overcome his limitations by training other animals to help him in his assent to the top of the food chain and to fill in the gaps that man lacked. Man's best friend has also been his oldest friend and the two have had a symbiotic relationship since the dawn of man. Man saw that the dog possessed the speed and power to track and take down prey and the dog was thus guaranteed the role of the second hand man on the ladder so to speak. It was then that I realized that true hunting for me was to use the assets of man and dog to track and hunt with only the assets provide to the two.
I for one find it far more offensive to lack the courage to hunt but to eat the animals. I mean farming animals is pretty much the most efficient means of hunting, far more efficient than the internet. So to me the more one remove ones-self from the process the more they are relying on technology to hunt for them. At least the hogs I hunt have a chance; they can easily kill me as they are over 400 pounds and have razor sharp tusks. I have only my reactions and thought as well my 70 lb bull dog only has his speed and agility together we work as a team to out maneuver and outsmart an animal that could most assuredly kill either one of us alone. But as a team we know that one another's life depends on the assets of the other. My dog must know the absolute times to catch and release in order to allow me the ability to maneuver around the hog in an effort to flip it and tie it up. As well I must be able to maintain control of the hogs head at all times so that neither I nor my dog suffer a mortal wound by the hogs tusk.
One might ask why someone would chose to do this to which I can only say that it is not about being macho or being tough but rather it is about enlightenment it is about self realization and it is about realizing that we as humans are capable of amazing things with only the use of our minds to orchestrate the capture of an animal that is far our physical superior. To me this is far more noble than getting your hunt at McDonalds those that would be sheltered from the kill have lost the drive that makes us human and that drive is curiosity. (as well, hogs are a nucence in Florida and are destroying our ecological system as we have no large natural predators left. So I catch as many as I can and usually give what I cannot eat away to poor communities)
As for those that argue we should not eat meat well I cannot really logically argue a illogical argument with the exception of saying that the loss of humans at the top of the chain would only mean that we would be replaced by something else maybe the wolf maybe the mountain lion; but nature always puts something at the top.
No doubt, I posted the almost the same exact thing less than a minute after you and you submitted you post while I was composing mine. Obviously those mods have never watched South Park or you post would have been +5 funny as opposed to off topic.
As I said before I am currently paying $2.10 for non-yellow grease (all virgin soy and rapeseed) bio-diesel at the one store in town that sells it, compared to the local rate of 2.30 for dino-diesel. So it really does not matter what happens to yellow-grease as with the current spike in crude it has passed the cost to market for virgin B100. The literature I provide is a few months old so does not reflect the current situation it was merely provided to show that the market is relatively close, but even then they where stating that the price is only a slight premium and that yellow grease was almost on par at that time. Currently B100 is cheaper in my area at retail so arguing that it is not cheaper seems nonsensical when I was just standing at the pump today pumping cheaper B100 than across the street where they were selling it for $2.30 at HESS.
Just to get started, the vegetable oil costs 2.50$ a gallon. In bulk
That depends on what oil you are using pure vegetable and peanut oil are very expensive and are not the best choice for bio-diesel. Soy and rapeseed are far better choices and are cheaper that 2.50 in bulk. It averages in the $1 per gallon area in futures trading.
Add the costs of processing to turn it into bio-deisel and you've got a very expensive solution.
Methanol and lye are both very cheap and used in small amounts in the process as well most of the methanol is recovered to use again. Blending is a fairly automated process for the manufactures just pour in all the ingredients and out comes bio-diesel pretty much. Refining Diesel is as much if not more labor intensive.
And that's not taking into account of the skyrocketing price when large numbers of people start buying up the oil.
No actually there may be a small spike at first but what will happen is that farmers that are now sitting on crops that they cannot move will start to migrate to producing oil out of them not to mention that many farmers would love to have a new cash crop to grow. Right now the ability to produce far outweighs the demand for the product in fact as production ramps up you may actually see a decrease in the price as it does not require the farmers to grow a special crop for low demand. If the roles where reversed and bio-diesel where the main fuel source diesel would be very expensive as there would have to be special refineries to produce diesel for what would amount to a limited demand hence the refineries would have to charge a premium to cover the increased cost to produce a fuel with limited demand. Right now that is bio-diesel and that is the only reason that bio-diesel is expensive but with the current skyrocketing diesel prices there is now no reason to by diesel fuel. I currently purchase B100 at a local supplier for $2.10 a gallon well under the $2.30 a gallon that they are charging for diesel. The bio-diesel they are selling is soy and rapeseed derived and all virgin so they are not sucking out the local McDonalds vat to reduce their costs. The alternative fuel tax breaks have made it competitive with regular diesel.
Take a look at this it has some good info on cost to produce bio-diesel.
That is funny as it was my understanding that many of the big diesel manufactures are now blending bio-diesel at a rate of 2% to reduce sulphur emissions to meet the 2006 EPA standards. Hmm, I must have just pipe dreamed that as well as the Iowa state agricultural department because they say it is lower in sulphur as well.
You should do a little research (a quick Google for "Bio-Diesel sulphur" would have keep you from looking like a fool) before you just start spouting off nonsense like Bio-diesel is quite dirtier. Without facts your position is useless and you misinform the public about solutions to which you have no idea. The fact remains that currently Bio-Diesel is the best solution we have readily available.
P.S. if you wanted to argue that bio-diesel was dirtier you would have had a better case by arguing that it has more NOx emissions which would be technically correct but has been addressed and there are easy workarounds already in place to reduce the NOx emissions from Bio-Diesel.
No the hybrid engine is a hack and always will be. It is a way for the car companies to act green, while not really doing anything, meanwhile adding more components to a car and charging a you premium for a status symbol. The oldest off all engines is still the best and that is a diesel. Diesel built his engine with the intent of running it on vegetable oil as well as diesel fuel and it can do just that as well it can run on bio-diesel a totally renewable energy source that is now on par with the price of diesel to manufacture and the beauty is that the infrastructure already exists for this technology.
The problem is that all of these tiger huggers at the EPA don't have a freaking clue as to what they are doing. The EPA emissions test are all done by particle weight and nothing else, they only test how big the particles are that come out of your exhaust and not what those emissions are made of. This means that because gas particles are smaller than diesel particles the gas engines are considered to be cleaner engines by the EPA never mind the fact that the diesel engine is a far more efficient engine and has a more complete combustion cycle resulting in fewer emissions. Who cares if the particles are a little bigger and you can see a little black smoke from them just because you cannot see the gas emissions does not mean that they are not there. The fact that you burn 40% less fuel alone offsets the supposed emissions problem. People need to get their heads out of their ass and start thinking about better solutions like bio-diesel. Its here it's ready and it's clean.
Google does not care about ethics. I have been trying to tell everyone that Google is the Microsoft with a friendly face; they are a saber toothed puppy dog. Their evil knows no bounds and this is just one more piece to their diabolical puzzle for world information domination it is far more ambitious than anything bill could have ever conceived. Hence this guy going to join them. Expect to see more and more Microsoft employees leaving as Google discloses there true nature to them to get them to join allegiance. Look at my post here and here for more info.
Yeah and it's unfair to taunt the people of Slashdot with the idea of a girlfriend even a psycho one. You know there are some that have to just go without.
And the day democracy falls, I will go out and buy several assault rifles.
The problem is that they may not be for sale at that point. It may be one of those use'um if you got'um scenarios.
Call me a nut, but I choose to believe that our country will not be taken over by a lunatic dictator.
Some would argue that it has already happened; in all seriousness though the chances are that eventually it will as all other governments to date have eventually fallen into a dictator's control. Even the ones that we modeled ourselves after fell to dictator's. These people seemed to think that there may be cause for concern.
And I can't believe you're actually using genocide as an excuse for Americans to bear arms.
Why, I wish those people would have had arms to defend themselves. The Indians had some in the begging but the arms embargos placed on the manufacturers saw to it that they did not get the guns of the day. The Jews however where not so fortunate as gun control measures where slowly enacted to see to the disarmament of the general populous. Genocide is the natural evolution of tyranny. I know there are a few groups that would love to put a person like me in a camp if they had their way.
If you are radical enough to die for the right to hold a gun in your hand, god speed, my friend.
You may very well die not holding a gun by the same people that take them from us when they pry them out of our hand. The Jews found that out the hard way, and I for one am not going to learn that same lesson. That is the problem with people they become detached and start to think, well that cannot happen here, well it can and it has. History repeats itself and I for one will not play the part of the Jew, or Indian and my gun insures that because I will surly die with it in my hand, before I go to the gallows or the chamber.
I know these god damned gun manufacturers need to stop producing guns so I don't kill someone. Oh yeah and tell Faberware to stop making knives too as I don't think I can be responsible with an instrument like that. Please oh please wise government of America save us from ourselves as you are so much wiser in your decisions like social security. Please ban our guns and remove our rights to bear arms so that you can solidify your monolithic federal control over the populous. Yes please take our last single defense against all enemies of the people foreign and domestic. Please I and the oh so wise Anonymous Coward beg you. Also could you tell the tobacco companies to stop making me smoke I think I may get cancer and it's not sheik in Hollywood anymore.
Jesus, you dirty hippies would still be getting kicked around by the empire if it weren't for guns. Get out of your moms basement and do something constructive with your life.
What does Google have a monopoly on? There are other search engines I can easily use. Maybe you should look up the definition of monopoly?
It is not that they have a monopoly now, but rather that they are slowly gaining a foothold as the only information source and they seem only be gaining momentum in that area. They are divisive and are slowly getting people to rely on them as their only source of knowledge, such as Hitler was trying to do by burring books that refuted his line of thinking, only Google is not burning the books they are becoming the single point to access the information and when you control the access you control the information. Google is evil, I tell you now loud and clear their evil plan will come full circle and I would be able to tell you "I told you so" but I believe that I will be silenced by then. Beware Google is the wolf in sheep's clothing. Watch they will silence me by controlling the moderator's opinions of this post that is how powerful they have become.
There are quit a few limitations to VR which make it unsuitable in most cases for games. I worked for a long time in the simulation industry and let me tell you head mount based VR is hardly ever used. The reason is that it is very hard to fool the mind into an immerse environment. When the body is not in motion and you eyes are seeing things in 3D and your ears are telling you that you are still standing still, it causes a few problems. The most sever is motion sickness as well as headaches. Even individuals that do not get motion sickness will eventfully succumb when fully immersed for extended periods of time. Now if you look at flight simulators (what I mainly designed) you will see that this does not happen the reason being is that you eyes and your body are experience the same thing. In reality headset based VR is more of a gimmick than anything practical in saying that though I have seen some pretty cool equipment that does not do total immersion in which it can augment reality by displaying things onto your retinal that help in certain situations. Such as I once saw a headset that projected all of the vital organs onto a person so that a surgeon could see a person internals without making an incision. It worked in conjunction with MRI technologies, and was about the most freaking cool thing I think I have ever seen.

Yeah, its already available it is called biodiesel and you may be more on target than you think.

I did not say they where first, I said they where a new service.
