People are quite toxic when you shove dead ones shoulder to shoulder hundreds to an acre. The land chosen for graveyards isn't usually the best anyway (to wet, to dry, too rock for crops) so it would become a problem.
Depends. If we didn't stick such toxic stuff in them and left them as they died it shouldn't be a problem. I can recall reading about battles from long ago where Romans battled. The land was very good after that because of all of those bodies. My point in fact. 100 years from now I should be totally recycled. My parents will probably still be around 2000 years from now. Buried about 8' down, in a big vault and pumped full of stuff to preserve them for a very long time. Where it is, it isn't likely to get a lot of water. So they're probably set unless at some point they dig them up and do something. My father didn't see the point either. Not much you can do if you want an open casket in most states.
That's why you are buried in a steel box, inside a waterproof concrete box... So you don't leech into the soil
The concrete box isn't waterproof. All a scam. No need to bury people in all that. Good old wood box is plenty, or better yet - nothing. Just stick them into the ground. After all, just who do we think we are? Especially Hugo. He's fit for the garbage dump. That's where I'd put him.
They wanted brand recognition and loyalty. They got it. I know a lot of managers that wouldn't even consider anything else - the Alpha that Microsoft supported, the Itanium that was a far superior chip, even the MC88000 of the 1980s was way better. So their followers were so loyal they won't even use another much better Intel chip.
They could easily work out a deal with Microsoft (and everyone else) to simply and quietly move away from it. Maybe they can call the next chip - IGS (Intel Great Stuff) chip.
Sucker. That's called not buying any modern car. Ford, Toyota, all of them offer those services now. Wonder how long it will take for/. to figure out that the progressive insurance thingy keeps track of that stuff. Maybe they figure it's just magic.
Highly unlikely given the likelihood of GPS-for-road-tax coming not too far down the line.
Not true. We should fight it tooth and nail. We already have a very effective toll system. Ez pass works well. We don't need to send the government our where abouts. It's none of their business where I am. Next think they will want to know why I was there. Even tax me because I stopped at the 7-11 or Duncan Donuts. You know, for my own good. If that fails - think of the children! Parade out some paid child actors.
Sucks that all our roads may be toll roads though. Somehow 1983 doesn't seem so bad anymore.
Look up pawn shops in your area. You might find some of your stuff. If you do, you might be able to track it back to the asshole that stole it in the first place. If not, offer them something if you see something you like. The price is a suggestion. I have a nice big honkin' Visio in my bedroom, $100 from a pawn shop. There are some deals out there. Don't get what you want, try another shop. Computers are often real hard to get a good deal at a pawn shop though. They think old crap is still valuable. Craigs list, ebay, friends sometimes. Some people have old outdated stuff just laying on their office floor at home.... like me. Plenty good to run Fedora.
Also understand that it's often the case that the burglar is someone you know. Sometimes your next door neighbour. Just sayin' Check out Chris Rock's niggas vs black people. It's funny!
oops we misunderstood the report - but they have "weapons of mass-destruction1!!!!!"
Oops yourself. They did have WMDs - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction#Chemical_Weapons_Recovered Then our friends at wiki leaks - http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/10/wikileaks-show-wmd-hunt-continued-in-iraq-with-surprising-results/ The majority of our debt has nothing to do with Iraq. It has everything to do with Obama and the Dems not passing a budget since BUSH WAS IN OFFICE! That's because when you cannot pass a budget they do a continuation of the last one that was passed - that included the 1 trillion bailout. That would seem to indicate that he's spent more money than all of the previous presidents combined. At least number wise. Don't blame the Republicans, the Dems controlled the house and Senate Obama's first two years and they couldn't pass a budget either. They didn't want to. BTW - let's dispel another myth - China holds all of our debt. In fact they don't. The Japanese hold almost as much or by now probably more than the Chinese.
She's getting paid. Will get paid next year, the year after that, the year after that... and so on for the rest of her life unless something changes. For doing nada, nothing, zilch! What about the stuff I did in the 1980s? There is some of my code still running. I don't and won't ever see a dime from it beyond the slave labor wage I was paid. Some of my colleagues wrote code that is in space craft. That will run for as long as it's running. Over 30 years so far. Suck it up, music can pay a lot of money if you're a rock star. Not so much if you aren't. Just another liberal arts field.
She can also make more stuff. Not everybody can be a rock star.
A lot of federal agencies are going to what is become known as big fix. Either the department or DHS will require crap to get fixed right away. Good thing is things will be fixed right away. Bad thing is a lot will break. So while this is probably a good thing, I can imagine I'm going to get beat up soon. How fast can we fix the code? In some cases probably never since the guys that wrote it are long gone now.
International students are the ones that are paying full price for our universities, and they're the ones that keep our universities funded.
These same universities that have been totally drunk with money? I visited my old University. When I was there pickings were scarce. Now I barely recognize the place. Gold plated side of when I was there. Professors making 200+K a year. Even dolts make 200K. Way overpaid and they indoctrinate rather than teach. Conservative view? You might as well walk into a den of lions. Cut down the pay. Make it affordable to US students again. Make is so US students can even get in. Seems so many college students - students my kids age have a hard time even getting in. Used to be if you have a B average and a 1000 SAT, you were in. No other questions asked. Now Maryland - 4.0 average and good SAT (i.e. 1600 with the new scores) and there is no assurance you're in. Unless you're black, woman or foreign. White male - pound sand. Never mind WE paid for those Universities.
To the west of Orlando. I think around Lakeland I stopped for some gas and the pump supported two prices. Cash and Credit. Credit it seems to me was about 10 cents/gallon more. I continued on to the Orlando area where they don't do that.... so far. It is just that we were using a phone app that shows local prices. Thought I saw a good deal.
You know about F18? I would have really appreciated it if I could have done an upgrade. The new installer didn't seem to allow that. I haven't tried to install this on a server, however F17 was unexpected in that it wouldn't allow me to use the old LCD screen resolution. I think it was 1280X900 or something is what I needed and it wouldn't rotate to new resolutions. I managed to get it installed, however that machine still won't use a gui with that old screen. It's a FW so I don't want to buy a new monitor just for that. Love it if you could provide some insight.
I think they're all wet. I've been using it for about a week. Different installation. Guts are different then RHEL, however they've been different for a few F releases now. I like F18.
It's rather unlikely that the lawmakers gave the bill much thought from a technical perspective.
Hit nail on the head! They were so stupid that there are no exemptions. Not even for law enforcement. So all of their nice new 9MM service pistols are illegal. Now they are trying to back track and fix the knee jerk reaction law. The responsible thing is to admit their error and repeal the law in its entirety. Better yet, eliminate "gun free zones" and require the issue of concealed carry permits. You know, common sense laws.
That's true for every gasoline engine that isn't specifically designed for alcohol. Alcohol makes rubber gaskets dry out and crack, it also does a pretty good job at taking the lubricating oil off of everything. Its a wonder that old motors last hours let alone years on the 10% stuff.
Ethanol melts natural rubber. It doesn't dry it out. Buy a Cessna 140 fuel sample ring. That's natural rubber. Put it into some 10%. Try to pick it up after just 10 seconds. ewww. After a few minutes it usually useless. Ethanol is bad news. It's destroyed many many engines. It would be nice if we could hold the politicians that voted for it accountable.
Any proof of that? I never had any trouble with MTBE gasoline, not even in my 1947 Cessna 140 that had natural and neoprene seals. One tankful of Ethanol by mistake and my tanks were leaking that liquid gold. Alcohol and natural rubber don't mix. It melts it. It destroyed thousands of lawn mowers, chain saws, boats and so on. I think it very well helped put some out of business. My understanding as it happened was water contamination sealed the deal for MTBE. Alcohol in gasoline should be banned and the politicians that voted for it run out of Washington on a rail (if only we could hold them accountable, instead the sheep vote them back in. Both parties guilty of this). You use more gasoline to make the alcohol than you get out of it from the analysis I've seen.
It's a gun debate so critical thinking is not required
Problem is, they don't use critical, sound nor even half way informed thinking. Usually won' t listen either. Though I'd like to think I've changed some minds out there. I have changed some minds of parents of some Boy Scouts. They went from thinking it was only ever used to kill to owning a guns. They love shooting now. Used to be many schools had a range in the basement or outside. Even in Washington DC. One of the most rabid anti gun places out there now. The old ranges are usually used for storage.
The new right fascists are bilingual. They speak English and Bullshit.
We can show that when communities arm themselves the crime rate almost disappears. That didn't happen in Australia. Other crimes went up. If they instead adopted common sense laws like more guns - conceal carry and such, it would have been far better than lying about it and saying it was somehow an epidemic. A disease to be fixed. Maybe you forgot about that part? Get the book - "More Guns, Less Crime" and learn a lot. It's all in there, with real numbers.
Whitespace used to be a big deal. Certainly with RG8, Fortran, lesser extent Cobol. Real languages it isn't so important. Standardizing how things is done is. So when I call something that was written by another group, I expect it to return something like our group has. Same type structures and so on. They should make sense. Otherwise it will introduce errors. Errors that can be exploited or errors that cause unpredictable things to happen.
Today I write my stuff such that any idiot could look at it and use it. That's because in 10-15 years I might be that idiot who needs to fix something. What was I thinking? Oh yea - here it is. Over the years I've been complimented for how clear my stuff is.
Whitespace can be fixed quickly by the way. Just use an editor like Emacs that supports ws macros. Set it up, tab and it's where it's supposed to be. Just set up a macro and Whoosh! It's right. I'm sure you could also use perl or C with the right program.
(Macro in emacs - control-x left paren. This example - escape (top of file), control-x leftparen (define macro), control-n (next line), tab, control-x rightparen (end macro). Control-u 5000 control-x e (execute macro 5000 times). Macros can be very powerful.
This tragedy was not committed by a CRIMINAL. Criminals don't generally use assault rifles, they use handguns. Rifles are really hard to conceal ya know?...
So you remove them from the environment and hey, how do you shoot someone with a gun that doesn't exist?
Obviously they do exist now and banning them takes time to take effect, but isn't removing assault rifles from civilian hands a good idea?
In a word, no. You don't give up liberty for security. You deserve neither. That's because that is what you'll have. Neither security nor liberty.
The point that I was making is the gun doesn't make a difference. The people did. As you point out, they weren't known criminals. Making a bomb as happened with the recent Colorado and with Columbine, they would have concentrated on making the bomb a lot more effective. Just like McVeigh did and he nearly knocked the building down. Not having an armed public is very dangerous because politicians feel free to do whatever they want. What are you going to do? Nothing. If you're armed and everyone is armed - we could do quite a bit. I know people think the military negates that entirely as they are so powerful. I'll point out even as restrictive as they are in Iraq, they were very effective against the very best the US Military could dish out. Imagine if they were armed as well as we are, the US military wouldn't have stood a chance unless they kill everyone. They know it. So did the Japanese in WWII, so did the Soviets into the 1980s that we know of.
The real answer is to change society so we give a damn again. We need better ethics like we used to when people went to church. You have some rights, other people have rights too. We should also make it clear that you don't have a right to some things - like an abortion for example. Think you do? Where is it in the Constitution or amendment. I don't buy the privacy bit. I think it should be legal, however it isn't a right. Being able to have guns was so important that they made it a right. They restricted the government from being able to take them from you. They felt it was that important, along with the first 10 amendments that are individual rights. Don't give them away so easily, we fought hard to have them. Concentrate on the real problem.
We should also not cover these as we do. Just tell us that a school was shot up, not who did it. That's what they want. Go out in a blaze of glory. Everyone knows them now. Should be nope - you're the same loser you were before. There is also this thought that because they were bullied it somehow excuses this behaviour. Well everyone gets bullied, even the bullies. Just the way it is, there's always a jerk. Sometimes that jerk is your boss.
Making guns patently illegal is simply the only option that works.
Please, tell me more how criminals obey laws.
Banning them doesn't work. That's been proven over and over again. These shootings are happening in "Gun free zones." They attract this stuff like a magnet. The only common sense thing to do it eliminate these gun free zones and allow concealed carry. Crime rates will plummet. Works every place it's tried. Check out Switzerland? Israel? Other very well armed countries? Check out places with strong "gun control" - they have the worst problems of course.
Even so, the dude in Colorado had a bomb in his apartment. Don't you think that if he didn't have access to guns he would have bombed something like Tim McVeigh did? Of course.
