RTFA before you get so angry. The idiot is the one posting the slashdot story, not the original author. Your assaults on reporters is ill-founded in this case, bucko.
From the article:
"The United States is now enduring its warmest year on record, and the 13 warmest years for the entire planet have all occurred since 1998, according to data that stretches back to 1880."
I don't really agree with the conclusion that it always comes down to one monopoly or another. Be the BEST, and RESPECT your customer. You'll have continued success, guaranteed. If you start sucking *coughgooglecough* then you'll eventually need to turn to exploitation because your innovation and passion have left the building, and you've hired too many stuffy white shirts pushing an short-sighted monopolistic investor's agenda.
The #1 thing we can do to combat energy inefficiency, which is the only thing we really need to do, is switch from an economy that maximizes profit at all costs, to one that minimizes waste. It's THAT simple. Seriously.
The question is, how is this even possible? Well, we need a department of government that analyzes products and their life-cycles and somehow comes up with a waste quotient that takes into account production waste (this is where renewable energy use comes into play, and makes my post not off-topic) as well as product waste (so that companies will be incentivized to make products that last), and somehow work this into a tax scheme that eats into the profits. Boo-yah. Done
Do you really think, never in the undocumented history of earth at least, that beasts of the past didn't have the same level of consciousness as we do today? It's hard to imagine, but it seems you're putting a heavy link between the level of technology and consciousness. On the surface it appears to make sense. But I don't see why serpents couldn't have had a golden period with say... conscious flying dragon. Dude, who knows?
Perfect pitch: Yes, to some it comes naturally after years of making music, to some it doesn't. Perhaps to those in the latter category, their approach to making music was different than the approach in the former. And perhaps the approach in the former was conducive to obtaining that "perfect pitch" ability. So it's not innate, but nuture, if this is true. Which of course is your opinion against mine.:P
Warming back up? Are you suggesting the sun will warm up, on the whole, and provide more energy to earth? Where can I read more about this?
Also, I'm curious to hear your opinion on energy and consciousness. In my limited knowledge, it seems plausible that conscious activity has an affect on the Qi of the sun.
you make a good case, but the issue I have is akin to media and the freedom of speech. We US citizens all have the freedom of speech, and we're all told that we are all created equal. However, he with the most money, when you combine these two facts, has the most power.
So... in a world where knowledge is power, and it's only costing pennies on the dollar... why should he who pays more be entitled to more consumption of information? Because you *know* the usage tiers will be price-gouged.
Does anybody else get pleasant tingling in the head and down the spine during the climax of a symphony? It used to happen randomly in my past, and I never understood it. My mom gets it too. Latley I've been getting it more, and my karma has been good. Last night was the first time I ever thought to google it, and I found people sharing similar experiences here, and now this article randomly shows up on slashdot. It seems to be related to the sanskrit idea of chakra.
Um, are you sure it's legal to dress up as a bankteller and work as a bank teller, and get a customer to give you their credentials? Because this is the analogy you should be making. Not some bum on the street asking for your credentials...
You get better with tactical awareness. You could study it offline if you prefer, and it would probably translate well to the game.
Of course there's still the issue of handling the controller properly, which comes with practice and good posture (relaxed, with your right hand anchored so your thumb can move freely and precisely). Yeah it's tough to compete online. I noticed the competition gets a little easier around 4-6am, if it helps.
Or you simply didn't have the right teachers or the right mindset. I found that I wasn't able to play music particularly well either, until I altered my mind and talked to various professional artists/creators.
However, this brings up an interesting point. The whole point here is to scientifically study the human brain. So it doesn't surprise me that these concepts that can't be scientifically proven (yet) are being derided as liberal equality feel-good ideas that we all have the same brain capability.
Brains may form different physical properties as a result of their evolution/development throughout life, but most functional components in the brain all work the same way, and many people are capable of things they are not aware of. Or put another way, very few people reach their full potential, which is why we don't see van goghs or mozarts everywhere. Actually, these people were obsessive about their craft. Mozart probably analyzed more scores and sheet music than any other musician before. He was extremely dedicated. It didn't just happen.
Talent and vision can be gained. Physical height is different, which makes Wilt Chamberlain unique. Anybody can be Van Gogh. Only tall people can be Wilt Chamberlain. Got it?
I'm pretty sure the British government has been tracking domestic phone calls, and emails all along, certainly dating back to the cold war and UKUSA pact with the US NSA. This legislation allows them to legally collect the data, so they can do things "by the book" instead of breaking laws for things they will do anyway.
All you socialist European suckers don't realize the value in private enterprise. It may be free, but is it better? Okay, it may be better, but is anyone making money off it? Nuff said.
Don't speak if you don't know what you're saying. Otherwise be prepared for consequences. This is a life lesson. If you say "biblically sound" you should know that implies genocide, slaughter, homophobia, fear, and demonization. These are cornerstones of the faith that leads to real world cultural problems. I'm not checking the real world at the door just because I'm participating on a virtual message board. Quite the opposite. I read and chime in because I like to feel somehow involved in the world. I expect and prefer anybody to check me on anything I say. I think it results in a healthier community.
Sweet. Where do I get one of these deathtrap tango machines? I'll ride it after I do some macabre chacha vert on my skateboard. What's your point? Skate or die. Grow some balls, and stop pointing out the obvious.

Your boss doesn't allow headphones at work?
Dude, all I know, is my ass shouldn't be getting this sweaty in March (when I watch porn)
Haha, yea, I knew something was up with that summary.
"Mmmm, a wet t-shirt evaporating toilet and bathtub waste. The perfect solution! Is anyone else excited?"
I can't even beat Battletoads with game genie. Other notable feats:
They just don't make em like they use to.
that's a nelson laugh, a la the Simpsons.

hahah. LOL. That's a really fucking appropriate "random" slashdot quote at the bottom of this page. Who did that?

Is it about reelection or not going against the status quo and not getting shot? A veto could irk some powerful people.

Round 2. The NYTimes paywall already lost round 1. Will the broadcast tv corps follow suit? Stay tuned.

There should be 4 "quit it" 's to start off the last stanza, yeah?
