Should be hit with a penalty. I mean heck, 1.8% instead of 15%? Any accountant should have spotted that one. I'm sure they'll simply write them a check. Here you go. Don't spend it all in one place.
Signed up yesterday in fact, for my chromecast. Now I wonder why anyone uses netflix. I didn't see anything that I wanted to watch. Simpsons - nope, goldrush - nope...(repeat ad nauseum).... Oh they had breaking bad. Star Wars? They have a kids animated version. Woop de doo.
Maybe there is a hidden button where the good stuff is?
I'm considering dropping them unless I can find something worth while.
I have also moved to FreeBSD, but may move to CentOS 6.7.
FreeBSD is awesome in many ways - seems perfect for servers.
You're kidding right? The 1990s called and they want their OS back. BSD is so far behind in so many things it's almost like riding a bicycle instead of using a car. However if what you want to do only can be done by a bicycle, that's the tool to use. Don't use it for a real server. It's simply not up to the task in the way a modern Linux kernel is. Much better filesystems, there is no mandatory access controls in bsd... and so much more. If it weren't for the BSD people giving away their time to port it Apple (considerable effort to get it to even work right), I have a feeling BSD would be dead by now.
What do people say when Canada slavishly follows America? "Screw those foreigners, they have nothing to do with us, we will make our own decisions, and if those foreigners think we've made the wrong decision, then they can go screw themselves."
Need to be kind to the Canadians. After all, their country was founded around a conference table. They're probably compared to the US all the time. I imagine it's really old by now.
Besides, this is silly anyhow. We don't have pennies. The US makes Cents. A penny is a bloody British denomination.
I hope they keep it the same. Otherwise they weight will change. While the US Mint will save around 40 million, it'll cost billions to change machines.
Wow, fricking wow. Almost like a nightmare. What the hell are we teaching our kids!
Sounds like I need to become involved with my grand kids education.
I'd like to think the nightmare would end when say Obama leaves office. Something definitive happening soon. If only it were that simple. Sounds very systemic. It'll probably take decades to stop this.
This whole thing is just crap. From the age of 6 (First grade), I was expected to walk to school on my own. Most parents would do the first week or something. From then on, do it yourself, bud! We're not talking a long way, school was less than a mile for everyone at my school. No problem, we could do that for fun.
My personal opinion from observation seems to be the women doing it. They are concerned so they complain. They need to shut the hell up and let people live their lives.
Could recycle like the rest of the world does. The US not recycling dates back to one of the many stupid decisions Carter made when he was President. He felt that if the US didn't recycle the waste, nobody else in the world would and that would help stop materials from falling into the wrong hands. Of course this was a very egotistical view - as if the US can tell everyone else in the world with a brain what to do. It didn't fool them for even a minute. It did however fool a lot of the crazy anti-nukes in the US. Reagan tried to reverse the decision, however it never did get any traction.
Recycle, let's process that stuff that's been sitting around for many decades. It's around 99.9% efficient I understand.
You know what, I owe you an unqualified apology. I got pissed off with you and implied that you were a moronic skeptic and that was uncalled for. Since you have decided to be the better man in this discussion, let me see if I can briefly put the facts in front of you.
I come to expect it with GW. Seems people all the way around are sick and tired of this subject. I think I know better, it's really hard to not say anything. Ok, let me continue.
No, the 1930s were not the warmest in the last century and not by a long shot. The information you based your claim on is profoundly flawed as it ignore ocean temperature changes. Given that the ocean covers the overwhelming majority of the earth's surface, I have no idea how any credible researcher could make that horrific a mistake.
Oh yes, the ocean temperatures that we can't quantify like surface temperatures. We simply lack data to be useful in this area. As for the 1930s, admit I'm right. Even Hansen himself admitted he was wrong on that one. If he admits it, you should too. I wasn't at the conference where he did that, however I was at Goddard later that day. They were still talking about it years later. Jim's stuff at Goddard doesn't seem to be online anymore. However I found this without a problem - http://www.breitbart.com/londo... . This should trouble you.
Damn, did you really just do that? Seriously? And you did this after verbally lambasting me for stopping to lump you in with the people who call Al Gore, Algore?
I'm sorry if you felt I was lambasting you. That wasn't the intention. I threw in Algore for a couple of reasons. The funny factor (especially if you hear his name on TV from now on - was it Al Gore or Algore?) and I don't think he deserves respect in this area. He's nothing more than a used car salesman to be honest with you. This stuff is way, way, way above him. If it weren't for his father, he'd be just a newspaper reporter in Tenn. Nobody would know who he is. In fact, he probably wouldn't have even made it out of Vietnam if it weren't for his father.
It isn't that we have a lot more to learn, we certainly do. And you are most welcome to be skeptical, but only if you can actually present more than some guy's blog who ended up being shown he was completely inept.
Ok, now I have to do some work in this area. For the first time in years. Great - let's look at the data. Try as I might, I can find the article cited, talked about, I can't find anything about the data itself, how it was collected, method, anything. You know, where's the science? We have just their word for it. Can you find the technical details of it? I'm a big hungry data guy. Feed me. A big clue in the article is they say clouds and water vapor can't be to blame. Really big flag, we CAN show water vapor heats things up. In fact water has almost everything to do with our weather. To dismiss it like they do is very troubling, however that could simply be the reporter. What the reporter writes is often a whole lot different than what really happened, sometimes to the point that you wonder if they were even there at all. I don't seem to see anything after that article came out (except for a few repeats recently that were just about verbatim.. which is suspicious, was it really an advertisement made to look like a science article?) and it's been years. Sounds fishy.
I have admins that keep telling me they can't keep the OEL machines up to date more than 3 months because Oracle releases patches on a 3 month schedule. Even then, we have to have a patch set made just for us.
My apologies, this ended up being way longer than I anticipated it would be. However I think it's all important.
First let me start of by saying - yes, things are getting warmer. They've been getting warmer for over thousands of years with some brief cold spells. Check out sea water rise here - http://www.giss.nasa.gov/resea... . So this is far and beyond man if you look at the scale in years. Another sign they're wrong - put people in jail - http://www.newsweek.com/should... . Some might call this typical leftist fascism. I was a bit surprised, I googled - "global warming skeptics in jail". No free speech, other than what they want. Where have we heard that before?
Bullshit. There is a mountain of proof - even though because you can't even begin to understand it you are suspicious.
Mountain of proof. So you should have no trouble showing me this mountain. Science isn't hard. There's the scientific method. I have no doubt you're familiar with it, I'll include it here for other people just as my comment before about moding me down was to other people - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Here are recent co2 levels - http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/c... Here we have them trying to explain a decade of problems - https://www.climate.gov/news-f... Then we have the hottest decade in the 20th century - the 1930s. This was embarrassing to Mr. Hansen (Mr. MMGW himself) as he had to admit he lied, of course he blamed it on a y2k error (it was a mistake, not a lie!) - when he claimed the 1990s where the hottest decade of the 20th century. I called full BULSHIT on that. I don't understand how a y2k bug could change his data and I'm a guy that used to fix those problems.
Don't say I don't understand it, it's likely you don't understand it. The above concerns break the scientific method, therefore it's almost certain it's not CO2 causing it. Not with a big rise in CO2 and when temperatures stop rising. Remember Algore's prediction that we'd be roasting in Washington DC in 2015 with desert like temperatures? Yea, not so much. Same old hot summers we've always had. Remember his predictions about more and stronger hurricanes after Katrina? Yea, not so much either. I bet he would be howling if Hog Island happened today - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Remember "Super Storm Sandy", yea, what crap. It was just a run of the mill hurricane. Nothing super about sandy.
As for the scientists - good luck conducting a study that disproves MMGW. Right now you're about as likely to get a grant proving that as say (not that I believe this, to illustrate the point - ) white people are superior to black people. That is, forget about it and don't come back. Only people that look at the data and say - hey, wait a minute. The bitch is, I may convince you and I've convinced hundreds over the years. They are making true believers every day in schools.
We do, for example, know that CO2 is a gas which does cause heat to be trapped in our atmosphere. As far as I know, aside from you and a small group of moronic skeptics, no one is saying otherwise.
A lot of people conclude when you resort to name calling, you've lost the argument. Otherwise, you'd state your case instead of calling someone names. Just so you know. Did you know there are definitions of what a moron, idiot, imbecile are? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
It's not a small group, otherwise Kyoto, Paris, etc would have proceeded a whole lo
Something's wrong. We know the 1930s was the warmest decade of the 20th century. It made Mr. Hansen look like the fool he is when he had to admit he was wrong when he said the 1990s were the hottest.
Same time, ignore all of the scientists with decades upon decades of experience that disagree with the ones that say CO2 is causing GW. Even though there is absolutely no scientific proof that CO2 has anything to do with warming, other than a symptom. You see warming, later you see an increase in CO2.
There's a huge motive to say CO2 is causing it - people making trillions off of carbon credits. They then fund those saying it's causing it. Buy politicians to see to it no government scientists disagree with them, if they do they're fired. I've personally seen it done in the 1990s.
Before you mod me down or flame me, show me. Where is there ANY proof that CO2 is actually the cause of GW. Show me that even though water levels have been rising for at least the past 1000 years, somehow it's man's fault now. Look at Venice Italy - we know they were trying to keep the Adriatic out in the 14th century.
US System he probably would have been out in 5 years. When there's an excuse like alcohol they bend over for them unless there's a political reason not to.
They still don't admit the truth about the second orbiter. It failed because the environmentalists made them stop using CFCs for the foam. It wasn't tested properly, just like the hubble mirrors and it caused a catastrophic failure. No mention it was because of the environmentalists. The mirrors was really stupid. Instead of checking on the ground, they let it fly. Saving about $30,000 is memory serves me. The money to test them on the ground. Well it cost us billions to save that $30,000.
Can you use the calculator to figure out wind differences without the circular slide rule? Too error prone. I just use fltplan.com. My last flight, it had me at the airport within a minute of when it said. Figured out the VORs, wind, speed (I fly at 140 kts) over 400 NM. Not bad, eh? I probably couldn't have done that good.
I used it back in the day too. Recently I took my IFR written. I'm getting weathered in too much lately. Since they allowed me to use a calculator that they provided, and it has sin, cos, tan, I used it instead. I was smart enough to figure out how to replace it entirely with a real calculator having never done that. Well except for back in grade school 40 years ago with word problems.
Never the less, if you don't have a calculator a slide rule is excellent. Even helped figure out that we'd miss the moon when we went there the first time. It was a rounding error with Fortran that caused that. They needed more than 6 places.
I used to sell PCs way back in the 1980s. Sold a machine to it turned out a Dentist. 20 meg drive, 386/33. In the early 2000's he tracked me down. I had moved way away from that stuff. Said the hard drive was dead. Wanted a new 20 meg drive. I said go to the Smithsonian. They might have one. I had him go to a vendor and just get an entirely new system.
I understand he was using it for his business records all of those years.
One day, if they work really hard, white people will rise up our of this slough of discrimination. But they have to convince everyone else that they sincerely want to be productive members of society.
What the hell are you talking about. Whites made US society what it is today. The best society the world has seen. They lost their way in the 1960s. That's why it's on the decline and will probably be gone in 5 years. It's almost there now. We'll be back to a feudal or slave system soon. Unless they wake up and do something rather than just worrying about the next facebook post.
Free societies usually last for about 200 years. Then socialism gets in there and they forget why they're free. Let everyone else participate (unfettered immigration), and then it's ruined for good. No society can afford to fix the world.
Glad 10 worked for you. It threw my HP laptop for a loop! Had to reinstall 8 and upgrade all over again... after I think it was 2 weeks I finally had 10 on my laptop working. What a PIA. I'm really glad I backed everything up.
No trouble with Fedora going into and out of sleep mode. Just saying - you might want to upgrade to Fedora. I ditched ubuntu years ago. When it wouldn't even install on a new laptop I bought. Fedora had absolutely no trouble with it.

Oh my. Sounds like a terrible experience. Sounds like you have a handful, sort of like I did. She's still a pistol today, however in a good way.
Stuff I'm reading here... sounds like we're becoming stupid as a society.
Wow, fricking wow. Almost like a nightmare. What the hell are we teaching our kids!
Sounds like I need to become involved with my grand kids education.
I'd like to think the nightmare would end when say Obama leaves office. Something definitive happening soon. If only it were that simple. Sounds very systemic. It'll probably take decades to stop this.

I found dozens of similar reports, some from universities, others from Youtube and the like. You know what I didn't find, a single credible study that even tried to claim CO2 doesn't trap heat. As far as those in the scientific community are concerned, this isn't even up for debate, no more than the earth being flat or that angry humors cause upset stomachs.

Well the context is lost. I said it with a kidding laugh. Got the point across though.
Due to the self driving car not getting the hell out of the way fast enough.
