Oil has never been economic, it has only existed because of massive tax breaks, military-industrial complex income tax injections and petro-dollar cartel machinations (trade for reciprocal purchase of U.S. debts)
You'd need to cool the water (thermally) before re-injection. normally that's what happens, cooling system recirculates water. However, these cooling systems and containment have leaks. So you're saying build an alternate cooling system, splice it into reactor vessel, plug any leaks......
and she's not giving head either. Bet they do it missionary style under the covers in the dark, every time. Could put their sexual encounters in a PG-13 movie....
My job is totally undeserving of the pants I have to put on before I go to work, but this still is a bit over the top. Clothing on most people is out of consideration and respect for others. No one should have to see the typical coder naked.....the horror, the horror.
militaries do a fine job of using their lethal weapons on civilians too, with complete impunity and immunity. Warring for power and money means the civilian body count is of no import
no problem, look at how Taser International's massive legal team can get all the maimings and deaths by electrocution swept under the run by buying off judges and doctors and county coroners. The military-industrial complex can steam-roll over peons, it's just operating costs and part of the business plan.
nope, the original ones had motorola 68000, so forget *BSD or Linux. The WE-32000 used in some of the later models had demand paging and were basis for some Unix systems. But then even later models of the Blit terminal went back to the 68000.
high oil prices are only the result of speculation and are not driven by supply and demand between suppliers and users because we let banking cartel scum and their Wall Street minions play.
I hate pollution, so would be glad to get away from non-polluting sources. However, and sadly so, there is no shortage of fossil fuels on this world, there is coal sufficient for centuries which can be turned easily into any type of liquid fossil fuel desired (kerosene, gasoline, diesel fuel, etc) by processes invented in the 19th century. At high prices, tapping into non-sweet crude becomes viable, and once again there is supply sufficient for more than a hundred years.
The use of the right kind of nuclear power would be a wonderful solution, but instead the world's reactors are mostly generation I and II reactors which require constant cooling, and eject spent fuel (mostly into spent fuel ponds requiring constant cooling, that if any one of them were left un-cooled would release the contamination of several Chernobyls)
The sad reality is we are locked into dirty fossil and wrong type of nuclear power.
Water vapor is too complicated to model, the fact that useless and meaningless models are made doesn't change the truth. I've been following the nonsense of climate modelling since the mid 90s, it is a complete waste of billions of dollars and yen and euros that has not once generated anything useful or actionable.
The internet warns that the Vatican is head of a global brainwashing organization that has committed millions of heinous acts of genocide, torture, and murder over its history, to say nothing of theft, extortion and corruption.
Funny no one ever talks about what happens at the world;s hundreds of nuclear power plants after a war. Forget the reactors, they'll just mostly melt into containment, but the spent fuel ponds have tens of megaCuries of contamination. The little fission pits of nuclear weapons are nothing next to those fuel pools.
and how would they "just fix the problems"?
See things in perspective. This contamination is nothing next to what decades of above ground nuclear testing put all over the globe, nothing next to the radioisotopes centuries of coal burning has put into the environment. The level of contamination that has reached the US from this zero for purposes of breathing and ingesting food, the minute amounts are a marvel in that we have so sensitive instruments we can detect, for example, a Xenon atom every ten seconds decaying per meter of air (which is what the measured "contamination" is in California for Xenon. For any effect on you or any Californian, it's same as zero)

The do it at home too, e.g. waco, tx

some facts: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste
hint: the problem is in ingesting it, not in making concrete blocks
Coal indeed does have radioisotopes that are a concern for the smoke (such as thorium, radium and uranium)

you forgot the bad hygiene. clothing helps mask shitty-ass-sweat odor

the Alto system is from 1974.
you don't believe we have one, with lawmakers in their pockets?
the only "specialized equipment" needed would be two cheap convex lenses, "annoying" would become "blinding"

just buy and misuse a photographic strobe, much more light output too

the blit seems lame after watching the 1974 Xerox Alto video, though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYlYSzMqGR8&feature=related

Nah, that first TOS was useless, and the multitasking wasn't until TOS 4 in 1992

my apologies to all Roman Catholics, I forgot the thousands of child molestations.

The "first computer designed by and for geeks" would be in the 1970s. We could argue about which one that was, I'd go with the MITS Altair 8800
died? First version in 1974, to version 3.1 in 1982, then it evolved into DOS PLUS in 1985 and then DR-DOS (1988 - 2005)
31 years is a pretty good run
