    Yes. You know kids tomorrow. I have to walk uphill through three feet of snow to get to school. Kids tomorrow won't understand that.

    True. They'll probably be talking in metres.

    Mate. I understand there's racists found everywhere. It's just the US seems to make it so acceptable in public forums, TV, radio.

    Just call people people. Stop this rubbish where you refer to them as their skin colour. I feel so happy that in Australia we don't refer to people as "Oh that black baseball pitcher" or "this white such and such. If someone wins a race or has a job and are citizens of Australia then they are Australian regardless if their origins are from Lebanon, China or Europe.

    The US reckons that they are culturally diverse but they all seem like a bunch of racists.

    Yes. Mod me down. Show even more of your ignorance

    and there's a fork in the road. If they see that 99% of people go left and 1% goes right then they'll know 99% chance I'll go left.

    So. Then I think they think I'll go left, so I'll go right.

    But they think that I think that they think I'll go left to go right so they go left.

    But I think they think that I think that they think .... I'm confused.

  13. Re:waste power on Distributed Computing on Next Gen Consoles · · Score: 1

    Uhmm... You cannot simply transport power without wastage. Putting up solar panels even 100m away will generate quite a bit of loss as the power generated will be DC current. You will need to convert to AC and then transport it. Even this is not perfect at 240V.

    Also, last I heard was solar panels cost more energy to manufacture than they actually produce in their lifetime. The reason they are good is for farmers living on properties far from any power source.
