Crop rotation wouldn't have stopped the dust bowl. The native plants (mostly grasses), which had evolved to fit that environment where there were frequent droughts, were plowed under and crops planted. When the drought came and the crops wouldn't grow the dust bowl happened.
From your own link:
Deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains had displaced the natural deep-rooted grasses that normally kept the soil in place and trapped moisture even during periods of drought and high winds.
During the drought of the 1930s, without natural anchors to keep the soil in place, it dried, turned to dust, and blew away eastward and southward in large dark clouds.
I think it's good and interesting that you actually follow the discussion about your company on social media.
Why? Its to their benefit, not ours. I agree with the earlier poster, how the hell do these "people" sleep at night? They belong in prison. Too bad there are no laws in place to put them there. Too bad congress won't pass laws making such abuses as costly as copyright infringement, as this is far, far worse. Also, I find it disgusting that three minutes and fourteen seconds of silence is copyrighted, let alone birds singing.
The only thing good is the fact that he admits working for them, instead of anonymously shilling and pretending to be a neutral party.
...American beers like Bud, Coors, etc. really are.
Coors and Miller are British. Anheuser-Busch is headquartered in Leuven, Belgium. These are not American beers.
Sam Adams is American beer, and it's a fine brew. I find the Europeans trashing "American" beer that's produced by Europeans hilarious, and wonder how many Europeans have ever tasted a real American beer.

Odd that the rumblefish we're discussing doesn't have a wikipedia entry. I'd never heard of them before, are they really a legit company?
As to the class action, you don't get any more of a cut than any of the other harmed parties. The only one who wins a class action lawsuit is the lawyers.
Why doesn't the DMCA require proof that you actually held the copyright before issuaing a takedown notice? It's fraud to issue a notice to a work you don't hold copyright to.
My advice to the OP (TFS) -- register the copyright on your work. It's only $35, and you have proof that you, not the big corp, are the copyright holder.
Oh, and a pedantic nit to the AC FP -- it's bald faced lie, not "bold faced lie."
Writing the head of the MPAA to try and sway him about the internet (to misquote former MPAA head Jack Valenti speaking of VCRs in the eighties) -- "The internet is to movies what Jack the Ripper was to women."
ESR ir right, but I think he sent his letter to the wrong Senator. It should have gone to the 100 corrupt Senators who actually legislate, rather than former corrupt Senators.
It's not that "being gay" is a hate crime, but otherwise I'd agree. What if it was a married woman being filmed having sex with her illicit lover who killed herself afterwards? It would be exactly the same thing, yet wouldn't be a hate crime.
Outing someone is a hate crime? That makes no sense to me. However, the invasion of privacy is horrible in any case.
The only example of a literary work that I think might be improved by hypertext is the Bible.
I've been working on that very thing for years and I'll probably never get it "finished". In the one I'm working on (KJV because it's public domain) if you mouse over an archaic word like "divers" it displays the modern version (diverse, varied, many). Just getting started on links from prophesy spoken to prophesy fulfilled.
I used to have it on the internet, but I let all my domains lapse.
But I don't see how hypertrxt would help something like this except perhaps a link to wikipedia.
We're still locked into the classical style from inertia by the big media companies that don't want to do any work to package 6 endings into a book.
Some of us get immersed in fiction and just want to read it passively. There are text adventures and novels, and videogames and movies. There is room for everything.
Jus befause you have a tool in your toolbox doesn't mean you need to use it, or even should use it.
I have an old HP tower sitting next to the TV, using the TV as a monitor, with a wireless mouse and keyboard. I hardly ever use the keyboard with that computer, the mouse sits with the remotes.
Possibly. But we'll never know, will we? The amount of piracy going on gives them all the ammunition they need.
No, but you can be pretty sure of it since the studies all say that the pirates are their best customers, spending more on media than non-pirates. Attacking your best customers is pretty stupid unless you have an ulterior motive.
I think they fear competition from independents and are using piracy as an excuse to quash competition. The RIAA labels are already an anachronism, and when desktop CGI is cheap enough and good enough, the MPAA will have the same problem. They attacked TV when it was new, you know.
So how much would YOU tip for a $1.25 draft beer? Sheesh, everybody's under the impression I'm buying pints of Guiness downtown instead of "American" beer in the ghetto!

The Terminator was fiction. Computers are nothing like brains.

Fodder for science fiction, too.

Have you ever had a pat down? Obviously not. It most ceratinly IS groping and should not happen, period.

I took issue with TFS's title, "YOU WILL use a tablet".
presumpyuous... damned fat figners!
A TV remote cost $5-$15. A tablet costs as much as some TVs. So I'll have to buy a $250 tablet to change channels on a $200 TV? I don't think so.
I don't have a tablet, nor will I until I can get one that's not tied to a phone contract.
If it's a scientology site it's certainly bogus.
Boy, I'm going to get a lot of "redundant" mods today replying to all you assholes who live in high-rent cities. A beer costs $1.25.
Fuck you and your moronic conclusion jumping.
Possibly. But we'll never know, will we? The amount of piracy going on gives them all the ammunition they need.

It's about competition. Piracy is a smokescreen.
So how much would YOU tip for a $1.25 draft beer? Sheesh, everybody's under the impression I'm buying pints of Guiness downtown instead of "American" beer in the ghetto!
Draft is $1.25. And you should have been modded "insightful" as you added good reasons for cash.
A beer is $1.25. Do you normally tip 50-100%?
Informative, thank you.
