more than a hypocrite, with his home that has 20x the carbon footprint of average Americans (221 MWh / year) and his use of private jets that spew 4x the carbon per passenger than a normal jet, he wishes to surrender American sovereignty with his "cap and trade agenda" and cost us trillions of dollars in the next decade. He is an un-american traitor, thief, and liar who is only promoting a power and wealth grabbing agenda for himself. Yesterday he had the stupidity in the New York Times to say the heavy winter this year was due to global warming (never mind the below average precipitation of previous years he said was due to the same thing, the moron)
In short, Al Gore is unfit to be a politician, unfit to be an American, unfit to be walking free.
anyone who has suffered the misfortune of listening to the aged Elmers prattle on about their maladies and the most inconsequential banalities for hours on end over the aether will know the brain of the ham is indeed baked. The Elmers killed ham radio, not the internet.
and no, it is not our moral obligation but their future one. for now, it's good thing they can take in money from us and other countries, it's the *only* long term plan to getting better standard of living.
their culture allows teens to work. also to drink or smoke or have sex. hmmm, kids over here doing same thing but not working.
anwer is she was so happy as teen to be making more money than her mother who sold groceries at street market. she had plenty of food to eat for the first time in her life and good clothes and could go to dentist. For more than eight years prior, hungry, bad clothes, sore teeth and other problems. "job better than school", she says.
actually, there are trillions in dollars in "cap and trade" that are to funnelled through world bank and to enrich markets that institutions like Goldman Sachs have set up. AGW backed policy is the new pig trough. The hypocrite Al Gore with his carbon footprint huge house is oinking for his slop.
The truth is carbon dioxide is a very minor greenhouse gas compared to the dominant one which is water vapor. And it is hopeless to try to model that, for either the new future or far.
Meanwhile, the datasets of the GSS are being attacked by real scientists, who point out most of them are located in heat islands, cities (and the wimpy rebuttal for that contains laughable claims only address their placement in relation to aiport tarmacs and a/c condensers when its the city itself!)
But there is a whole mindset of large portion of society, that imagines some penance must be paid for our prosperity, and so they believe the useless climate models and doom prophecies. Never mind that the climate models have been regularly re-cooked to conform to whatever the recent weather is doing. Climate change will cause drought! Climate change will cause flooding. Climate change will cause bigger hurricanes. Even today I read climate change is causing the huge snowfall this winter!
AGW is a religion, as is carbon offsets. CRU is a propoganda machine for those who will benefit from the Cap and Trade fraud.
*shrug* my wife is from Cambodia, she had 8 hour job at 14 selling cigarettes, umbrellas and fruit juice in restaurants. Eighth grade education normal for fortunate women there. For that matter, even my grandfather in USA had eighth grade education and went to work after that, normal at the time in part of country where he lived. How about we quit ramming our stupid culture down every other culture's throat?
this isn't "child labor", it's teenage labor. if a 15 year old can earn some money, let him. in our culture we have 15 year old babies that can't do a thing for themselves, high school is doing nothing for them.
of course open source has bugs. some might even kill people or has killed someone already. but closed source is extremely difficult to audit, check, do forensics. thousands of eyeballs might or might not make a bug shallow, but it betters the chances.
yes, and could go even further to testing on private roads and property. If your code kills you and knocks over your pole barn in the back forty that is entirely your problem.
ok, mr. anonymous, I work with all those wares, and the differences aren't *that* big, some percentage points in certain situations with certain hardware and certain transactions. and the very fastest way to run databases doesn't involve open source software, tpc.org will tell you all about that. it happens Oracle or DB2 on a big HP/UX or AIX is going to whoop open source ass with usual business needs on mid and large systems, but at huge cost and with vendor lock-in and limitations to customization and integration with other systems.
but mars is a dead planet. lack of plate tectonics means no replenishment for carbon dioxide that gets bound to rock in carbonates. low gravity means rest of atmosphere mostly lost. most water lost. The planet is a dud. Where is a colony going to fuel and raw materials for daily life except from Earth? it's not a replacement for Earth.
you have me thinking of ways life could exist. and if we'd "see" it right away.
chemical life uses information storage in patterns of atoms, and has to assemble parts of itself. Not too many atoms can form chains: carbon, phosphorous, silicon, and sulphur. I think we would recognize any life made of any of those.
how about electronic life? we know electricity can effect certain types of crystal growth, how about an electro-chemical beast that is something like self-modifying circuitry with switching elements and substrate that can be grown or re-absorbed based on current ebb and flow. Detectable, but yeah could be standing on it before detecting it.
that reminds me of light bulbs that have burned continuously for a couple decades, people might think "wow, they really made them well back in the day", but of course it's just the very very tail end of a bell curve that's been hovering a nanometer above the time axis for years, most all the other millions of units popped after the normal 1500 hours.
American cars don't rust out after five years with the piston rings worn away blowing oil...even with the cracked iron rods and sleeves in aluminum blocks and disposable modules it's actually higher quality. And the damn stuff starts when it is below zero degree F at turn of key, used to be trying to get engine to start without flooding or draining battery after sitting in extreme cold for two days could be a real challenge.
receipts can be a mixed bag, good idea to make copy at the time for any that are used for record of taxes or in business dealings. especially true for thermal paper
nope, a business would just apply for and get a stack of as many free (as in beer and lunch) Solaris licenses as it wanted for testing. Individuals can do it too, I have licenses to run Solaris 9, 10 and it cost $0 and you can download as DVD or CD ISO.
was being melodramatic for fun,but I've had photos butchered by subsequent moving from one jpeg software to another.
Yes, Windows XP will choke on your little ~52 megabyte TIFF. Real operating systems won't, Mac OSX with sufficient RAM and good software and there's no problem at all. Linux does ok too, though available free software not as high quality.
Sun's output is nearly identical to blackbody at 5800 degrees C. In atmosphere near ground, about half the energy is in visible light spectrum, half in near-infrared. Energy falls quickly from peak in yellow-green to essentially zero at 280 nm (ultraviolet C) and shorter wavelengths. Energy slopes gently to zero from peak in yellow to nearly zero at 3000 nm (which is infrared C). Anyway, parent post neglects fact that concentration by lenses or mirrors is common practice, typical CPV setup easily works with several hundred Suns worth of energy per square unit measure.

what, you don't enjoy getting puking drunk and a day-long hangover to follow? geez, what's the point then?

You are confused, total ham bandwidth is miniscule. The entity with the properties you describe is the U.S. military.

or -1 old fart talk. being near half-century old makes for quaint if not archaic phrasings.

closed source software model so much more fascinating when there is a body count, no?

history is always distorted and often fabricated, and the ramblings of millions of manipulated ignoramuses won't help the matter

yes
"If the JPEG looks good enough on your screen"
no way, screen only has one or two thousand pixels on a side, anything more than 4 megapixel image can't be accurately represented.
