you aren't thinking in terms of how the real world works. The cops will kick in *your* door, play drum solo with their nightsticks on *your* body, maybe shoot your dog or loved one, take all your electronic gear.........and then someday later you may have a chance to "clear your name" or "prove something" in court, if you have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a defense (or you take the "state will provide" drunken sot who got C average in law school night classes). Your notion of "the truth will ultimately prevail" will be of small comfort while Mongo the 300lbs. body building homosexual rapist with AIDS is taking liberties with your anus in a holding cell.
But the jack booted thugs of the entertainment cartel will still kick in your door first and take your shit and maybe shoot your loved one. you're only proposing something that will come out and be of some help after months in court.
I'll agree the "green revolution" is nonsense, symbolism over substance. But, we can't run a tractor on hydrogen? or fuel cells? or high efficiency batteries charged by a nuclear plant? we can't turn plants grown on scrubland (cellulose) into diesel fuel or butanol? we can already do all but one thing I mentioned, batteries aren't quite there yet.
oh yes, Microsoft Source Safe can scale upwards to a planet-wide kernel development effort. If I remember from my employer who used it, it only started showing problems at over twelve users......bwhahahahaha!
ignorant alarmist nonsense. the resources such as "rare earths" didn't fly off into space, they are still here. Plenty of other resources such as phosphur based ones can be synthesized rather than the current mining. There is coal supply sufficient for centuries, even without using the 4000 supply of thorium. Three is enough soilar power striking the earth to supply the 8.5 billion and *shrinking* population we will have after 2075.
nonsense, human population will peak and then decline by 2075, this "exponential growth" is bullshit. There is more than enough energy striking the earth to power a civilization of less than 8.5 billion people living at middle class standards. end of argument, there is no problem except solvable engineering ones.
Tom Murphy is an idiot. He ignores the fact that the human population will peak in 65 years and then decline. He ignores that energy harvested in space can be used in space to refine metals so the waste heat doesn't affect the earth's heat budget. what a short sighted moron, he would predict a pregnant woman would be the size of a house in 18 months.
we have thorium for about 4,000 years of fission power. that should give us a wee bit of time to figure out fusion or just harvesting the Sun's energy with greater efficiency than the present. As for time needed to perfect thorium reactors, all that so-called "spent fuel" lying about can have 7x the energy extracted from it that we have thus far obtained. there is no shorage of energy on this earth, that's hysterical bullshit.
treat a 16 year old like a baby (like our society) and you get babies. other places they're a young man. if a young man wants to make some money, let him. now a ten year old, that would be a problem, but maybe that's not the issue here.
you are ignorant. hunters and former military alone would have the chops to do real damage in the near term, and in the longer term in hard times human's survival and killer instinct would be awakened. your pasty faced keyboard jockey with weapons and tools would transform into something else.
that's nice, out in the open. in a big city or industrial area full of heat sources, people, aint' going to work out for your flyboy. needle in a haystack problem
two words for you, tank trap. anything over 60 degree grade your m1 is fucked. pour some fuel in the trap and light it for more entertainment. for that matter, the expanded molotov cocktail would still work, put enough flammable material on a tank and it becomes too hot inside for anyone to survive.
you're the clueless one, there are time tested and proven ways of attacking, killing, imprisoning those portions of a country's populace that are deemed troublesome. And the rest of the people will believe it their patriotic duty to make sacrificies of time, energy, money, means of production to support that government. need a few links to get a clue?
"They're also armed with an irrational belief that God is on their side," yeah, that's totally different from our leader's beliefs when they destroyed a country that was no threat at all to us, caused hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths (more than your militant islamists) and turning it from a place with no Al Qaeda into a recruiting ground for all kinds of terrorists. Get a clue, you're not on the side of the good guys either.
eh, Mint also has Debian-based releases besides the more well known Ubuntu ones. still rougher and packages tend to break more often, bcause Debian just isn't even desktop-base ready
and 4. windows 8 - going one step further to cripple the crippleware, non-discoverable UI, single app focused (rather than multi-app task focused), throwing away years of proven and evolved menu/windowing system design. I just *bought* two licenses of windows 7 pro for myself and family member to run necessary windows apps in vm, because windows 8 is so very bad and uesless

we have centuries of coal supply, and those can be turned into any liquid hydrocarbon fuel by processes known 100 years ago.

My "time to move fast" prothesis accomodates 7 humans comfortably and has a 150 hp engine and goes 180 kph
the Federal Reserve is made of banks like Chase, Morgan etc. you believe executives of those are not lining their pockets?
you are confused, we are talking of alleged "overwelming evidence" of global climate change
and those soldiers won't be bullet-proof, armed citizen == real threat.

I don't have any problem with a 16 year old doing hard labor for money.
you are ignorant. hunters and former military alone would have the chops to do real damage in the near term, and in the longer term in hard times human's survival and killer instinct would be awakened. your pasty faced keyboard jockey with weapons and tools would transform into something else.

and one of those rebels had jets fly into some U.S. buildings 11 years ago. yup, very costly for U.S. too

how old were they, if poor teenagers want to help their families by earning some extra coin, better that than being punks in a street gang
