not only that, but i would have thought that driving the copper pipes into the water table would do much more for cooling than surrounding it in concrete.
agreed. i would much rather view real coverage by an average person on the street, than a made up fake barbie doll "talking in the sTRANGE NEWS REporter voicE We ALL KNOW. back to you, gerald."
not so much laughable as depressing imo.. the last thing we need are delays in this sort of thing, we should be out there exploring by now. so this is good news.
apparently for you, it is. opinions about nuclear energy are not tied to ones belief in doing whatever we can for cleaning the environment.
i believe what you mean to say is: "there are some people out there that hate nuclear energy, and they are making environmental change harder for the rest of us. these people are likely to be the same people advocating for environmentalism, but this isnt always the case, as i suspect even some of the most diehard truck drivers abhore anything nuclear."
who said anything about saving the world? thats a side effect. the main point i was making was to relieve a struggling centralized energy grid system, and to save money (in the long term).
"junkies" exist now because there is not enough readily available and unbiased information out there for people to make an informed decision about these substances. thank god for erowid.org - unfortunately, not something the average street person might have access to.
drug labs exist because there is a lucrative underground market for the substances that society has left untapped and available to anyone who wants to risk prosecution and give it a go, and potentially make a ton of money.
your argument isnt valid im afraid. if drugs were obtainable over the counter, perhaps via prescription as a withdrawl treatment, or even at the supermarket, there would be no need to seek out criminal elements, and the meth labs and junkies on your corner would cease to exist. however, random loners with no jobs nosing through your rubbish will always continue, drugs or not.
so the question is: if a user is sitting at home minding his own business, enjoying some prime buds that he picked up on the way home from his job as a policeman, what right do you have to tell him to stop?
it is in New Zealand. our parliamentary chambers have designated areas for the press to setup shop and record the goings on. we even have a tv channel called Parliament TV, screens every tuesday when there is a session in progress. not very exciting, i admit, but its a damn good thing it is there.
the canadians could learn a thing or two.
sorry, i patented death around 6000BC and have held it ever since. the pending patent infringement lawsuit and subsequent damages award will be newsworthy, let me tell you..
..to all those other FPS war games where simulated humans get shot and killed. Clearly.
Seriously tho, this is a case of someone feeling like the game is somehow directly targetting them and having a moan about it. Should we be mindful of veterens families? Sure. But just because a game is set in a warzone that someone you know happened to be near or involved in, doesnt mean said game is intended to slap their faces.
the point you are missing is that the isps are intentionally overselling their capacity because they can get away with it.
instituting data caps are a way of lowering the traffic usage of the heavist usage customers, leaving more data to be used by more paying customers,for more profit. its as simple as that. this would be reasonable, if the previous unlimited plans actually had mention of a "reasonable" amount of data usage. however, its not as black and white as that in reality. i would bet money that they didnt specify "reasonable" data usage, and now all of a sudden theyre crying because people are using a lot of data. or should i say, using their internets, that they paid for, the way they see fit..
its just greed, combined with poor business sense. i guess its easier to screw with the paying customers rather than negotiate a better backbone deal for the customers.
as someone who has a parltry 10gb data cap, per month, i can tell you that its not nearly enough.
im not a huge downloader, but we regularly approach the limit every month. i watch youtube somewhat heavily (in low detail), game often, and browse the web like any other geek. ive had to hold off downloading linux updates on a fresh install (300mb all up) until next month because, extrapolating, it would take us over our cap. ultimately i would LOVE to stream videos HD quality videos over the net, as my connection speed would definitely allow, but right now it is totally out of my grasp because is the ridiculous data cap.
i think its absolutely disgraceful that the technology is there to allow us to take full advantage of what the internet has to offer, yet its impossible in my country because greedy companies would rather make a ton of cash. unfortunately, theres no other alternative a this stage.

are you serious? watched fox much, lately?
not only that, but i would have thought that driving the copper pipes into the water table would do much more for cooling than surrounding it in concrete.
great idea. now if only we could fix the moon in place, so that the dark side is always pointing towards the probe...
The price for my country was going to be twice that in the US, let alone the UK. I dont remember any outrage about that.
Yea, it sucks, but other people most probably have it worse off than you do. Or they use linux.
agreed. i would much rather view real coverage by an average person on the street, than a made up fake barbie doll "talking in the sTRANGE NEWS REporter voicE We ALL KNOW. back to you, gerald."

Sometimes they occur together, but this is not always the case.
as much as youd love to believe that, i actually think its probably both countries that would be in a great deal of pain.
apparently for you, it is. opinions about nuclear energy are not tied to ones belief in doing whatever we can for cleaning the environment.

and you would be correct in saying so.
who said anything about saving the world? thats a side effect. the main point i was making was to relieve a struggling centralized energy grid system, and to save money (in the long term).
it all depends how much you want to spend, what your requirements are, and what resources are available to you. the options are out there. even for large scale applications.
but from the tone of your post, you dont seem to be the type of person willing to generate your own power.
i think he covered that with the "not get fired" bit.
Are they actually serious?
a smoker complaining that non smokers live too long, and burden the health system... now ive read everything.

sorry, but the grandparent is entirely correct.

yes.. drink up! how could water be bad for you?
sorry, i patented death around 6000BC and have held it ever since. the pending patent infringement lawsuit and subsequent damages award will be newsworthy, let me tell you..
really? i certainly do.

more importantly, does this mean that xp will finally be given directx 10?

And so believable too!
