so all you've done is delay warming AS LONG AS YOU KEEP POLLUTING.
And that's exactly the point isn't it? The article is about how as we stop polluting so much, the temperature will increase some because the pollution won't protect us from it anymore (I feel like "protect" might be the wrong word). Am I missing something?
I didn't see anyone saying that we should start pumping aerosols into the atmosphere again. They're just saying it will have an effect. Would you prefer scientists that pretend nothing good ever has a downside?
Unless Bing starts behaving like Apple and delivering what I don't even know I want yet, I don't see it heading much anywhere.
Interestingly, Google does tailor your results based on previous searches (if you're logged in). At this point, I think it's the reason Google works so much better for me than Bing. If I type the name of an open source project, the first result is always the project, even if it's a common English word.
I didn't notice this response until just now, but I already responded to the "how about I inject you with stuff" argument. It's a straw-man. No one would go to that bar, and it would go out of business. The problem is that non-smokers aren't willing to go to any effort to make non-smoking bars exist, but they are willing to stop everyone else from being able to go to smoking bars (through legislation). If it's such a big problem, stand up for yourself and refuse to go to to a bar that allows smoking. I keep seeing comments like "I used to go to smoking bars since (my friends wanted to / there were no other options)". If you don't want smoking bars to exist, stop patronizing them. If you can get legislation passed to ban smoking, then there's obviously enough people to cause a non-smoking bar to get decent amounts of business without the use of force.
Like I've mentioned in my other responses, it just shows that people are perfectly willing to inconvenience everyone else (by banning smoking), but not willing to inconvenience themselves at all (by refusing to go to these places). Smoking bans were passed relatively recently where I live, and I remember plenty of places that didn't allow smoking, but I guess not going to Perkins is too much for most people.
You're welcome to open a "We'll inject you with random chemicals" bars. I don't think you'd stay in business very long though (even if it was legal). The difference is that people are so opposed to being injected with chemicals that they wouldn't go somewhere where they know it will happen, but they're not opposed enough to smoking to completely avoid bars and restaurants that allow it, so instead of doing the responsible thing and not going to places that they don't like, they change the law so no one can go to places they don't like.
It basically comes down to this: You wouldn't inconvenience your smoker friends by telling them "We have to go to the non-smoking bar", but you will support legislation that ensures that there aren't any smoking bars. Kind of a dick move.
I think it's completely fair to bother people with your smoke if they choose to allow it in their establishment. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. (note: I don't smoke)
Ah I see. I think you're missing the part about how by "new class" they mean "new player class". Although, they'd don't explicitly say that. A sarlacc as a boss would definitely be entertaining (and I bet they already exist).
Was I wrong about it? The thing I thought about after I wrote that was that certain games (FPS genre) need the kind of optimization you can't do in a cross-platform way, but that would just be optimization within certain methods.
I'm definitely interested. I like computer games, but gaming isn't worth the pain of using Windows, or the annoyance of dual booting.
I don't really see why developers don't make more games cross platform. Aren't there OpenGL libraries that will work with no changes on Windows + Mac + Linux? I know I've seen sound libraries that do that, so take those two together, and don't write crappy code and your game will be cross platform by default.
I was under the impression that licensing couldn't be changed retroactively, so couldn't someone still take Open Solaris's current version and make their own OS with it? I'm guessing it's just not worth the effort though since its fairly similar to the other Unix-like systems.
I think the major thing is that in the U.S., our government is owned by big companies, so corruption like this is expected. If someone who wasn't elected managed to stop this, they'd be fired for stopping the corruption. If someone who was elected stopped this, they wouldn't be elected because their sponsors would stop giving them money.
I'm even more confused about what people are angry about. The nv driver sucks and always has. They probably stopped working on it because nouveau is better in every way.
The first two would be pretty simple on a table (and add the ability to instantly send someone else a copy).. that is, if you had a tablet with a stylus. I'd like to see someone use their fingers to write notes/annotations on a document. Of course, then you still have the problem that it's around 5x more expensive than just buying your own laser printer;)
I like to understand how math works, I just think teaching it with the hardest way first doesn't make any sense. It's like using a library and starting by reading the code instead of the documentation. You might want to read parts of the code, but they'll make a lot more sense if you understand the system in general before trying to understand the small parts.
I found that the major problem I had (and still have with college math classes) is that they start with the hardest way of doing something (something you won't possibly understand like the definition of a derivative) and then move forward to the easy way (a bunch of simple rules), when it would be much more helpful to start the easy way and then explain why it works.
Yes if there was a decent package manager for Windows, it would be far less painful to use. Coming back to Windows after a month and having every program complain about updates is incredibly annoying, especially when they're all updates you have to apply manually, one at a time.

I didn't know that toys were measured in calories these days.

There is no need to steal Apache's code since its already available.
They didn't steal the code, they stole a bunch of passwords.
Last time I checked, it also takes far longer to encode a video with Dirac. I assume that would be a problem for Google..
Hm.. Banshee is using 28 MB of memory, but I guess I only have 2,500 songs.

You would've believed that an MMO would offer a class that's incapable of movement? Actually, you're right, that's not that implausible..

Yes, except there's only around two internships available for the thousand people in your class.
