Just make it compliant with the standards. A lot of comments out here make it sound like you can't directly make it compatible both with Mozilla and IE from the start, but depending on what technologies you use, like ascii, it can be read in every browser ever invented (I might get a "-1, Dumb" for this), or HTML, or Flash, etc... I mean, mostly anything you see is meant to work fine with stuff like Firefox even if it's not meant to be supported, and with any recent browser that supports stuff like CSS, mostly anything works fine.
Reminds me of an article I read about a month ago in a magazine. It was about cooling down the blood of someone who had a heart attack to prevent brain cells from "commiting suicide", a process that normally starts when the brain didn't get much oxygen in the last 5 minutes. However, they said that they wouldn't get the body too cold, I think they said not under 35 degrees, or was it 33.
I wonder how this new technique might improve the own of saving the brain from destruction after an heart attack, as if now it could be safe to get the body much cooler for much more improvement.
Yeah, of course there's a difference between being proud of being white and proud of being irish, but is there any between being proud of being black and being proud of being of african ancestry?
I don't think so. I think you can be proud to be black, but not to be white.
My point was, take the speech of any black militant, turn stuff like "you know i'm proud to be black yo" to "you know i'm proud to be white yo", and you got something sounding real different, KKKish actually.
You see, I think that in America, even if whites and black get to have equivalent rights and powers, they will never have the same ones, and thus they will never be equal, even if none have any type of superiority/domination on the other. The simple fact that some can say things that others can't I think prevents the disappearition of the boundaries inheritted from history
"I still cringe when professors stumble over African-American to identify students that I know aren't even of African descent."
I think the worse thing about "African American" is that nobody would call arab americans of northern african origin that, because we all know that African American is the synonymous of black american.
And then, it's erronerous, because "African Americans" are not african anymore, and refering to them as africans in any way is erronerous cuz it's a bad mistake to make a confusion between a place and ethnicity.
I read the whole article, and well, I still don't see where's the news. We've heard about that debris thing for years on TV and all that, so what's new with this article, that they confirm that the situation is bad, or that they consider fixing the problem, although it has already been considered?
I don't mean to sound like a asshole but that "Be proud of your heritage!" thing reminds me of something... ummm... oh yeah! The KKK!
Example : "Black officers can freely join the Black Police Officers Association without being called prejudiced, but White officers cannot join an organization devoted entirely to White Race without being called racist. Is it a crime to be proud of your heritage?" http://www.kkk.bz/cop_news.htm
Not that I get on this site really often, but once try listening to the X-Clan and visit kkk.bz at the same time, you'll see, you'll have the feeling of hearing a kind of echo of what you're reading.
Just wondering, what's gonna happen to me if I look on Google how to impeach bush, how to make a bomb, how to order flight simulator, how to manage to get weapons through security checks at airports, if i look for child porn, if i look for beastiality, if i look for the little red book, i mean if i search all that and that the NSA or whoever else you want knows it, what's gonna happen to me anyways? Why should I care? Why should I clean my cache or even care about my privacy? Can you or anyone else out there who seems to be concerned by this type of stuff explain me why I should care about the government knowing the kind of shit they can know about me on internet?
Dude, I don't know what you're friend does, but I have.. I mean a friend of mine has a pirated version of XP SP2 Pro took off eMule and it updates very fine and all that. But I don't even, I mean my friend doesn't even update, cuz that's useless. Firefox and some shareware antivirus and anti-spyware is all you need
I do that much more often than twice a year. Whenever I accidently pee on the "seat" (or whatever you wanna call that) then I wipe it off with toilet paper. I call that cleaning.
Damn, why can't i find something smart to say right when I need. Ummm.. ummm... oh yeah! Why are Microsoft's Mac products better than the same products on Windows (example, Internet Explorer, I guess we can say Office too)?
Are you guys trying to make us like Macs better even through your products? oh wait, that has nothing to do with security:-(
"I give 1 month for them to figure out how to get OS X to run on normal PC hardware, and Vmware."
lol wtf. I hope you mean you give them minus 6 months to do that, cuz we've been running OS X on normal PC hardware and VMware since like july/august with Mac OS X 10.4.1 leaked from dev kits. http://www.osx86project.org/
Oh ok ok thx I didn't know. but come on, who cares about that lil' leak thing? Did it kill anybody? That's why I was making reference to Chernobyl, ain't that the last significant nuclear incident?
"where you put the waste for the next few thousand years."
um.. as I said in another post, 300 years from now (and yet that's quite pessimistic) we'll drill a whole down to the core of earth and dump the nuclear waste in it with the rest of the radioactive core etc... And then, it's not as if nuclear waste was taking so much room, I mean, we got way bigger concerns than *that*.
And I don't know about the rest of the people, but global warming scares me much more than the lil ass leaks like in Thrope so personally i'd like to see all the coal power plants replaced by nuclear ones, and fuck the windmills
The only way to bring such an OS to life, is either to make it be re-deved by Apple, like Amiga re-deved AmigaOS after about 10 years of death, or have a company to start developping an OS based on NewtonOS, just like Zeta did with BeOS.
Otherwise, how could an outdated OS come back to life like this? When was the last time that an emulator brought an OS "back to life"? You can argue that such emulators as Mini vMac or Basilisk II or even SheepShaver brought back some interest and even some use to pre-X Mac OS, but did they bring it back to life in the way that people starting developping for that old OS again?
It's worse that just noise actually. Infrasounds, mostly ones around 7-10 Hz are quite harmfull to all animals (you can find about these effects on pages that talk about infrasounds, like on wikipedia, it's reported that it even has been used in movies to make the viewers feel kind of bad).
How do you generate a sound between 7 and 10 Hz with a windmill? By having your mill rotating between 2.3 Hz (140 RPM) and 3.3 Hz (200 RPM). Other frequencies under that range may make you feel bad too, particularly it may make it feel hard for you to breathe. The site http://www.saveupstateny.com/ is a good source of information for all the negative effects of windmills.
"I know farm families that are making enough money from having turbines but on their farm land to retire. Sounds good to me.
Not everybody is against wind energy."
Funny, reminds me of Business Deals in SimCity 3000 and 4. If I was a farmer (or a mayor), I'd be glad to host a big jail on my lands or a hazardous factory provided that they pay me enough;-)
Not everybody is against it, that's right, I didn't say so. Just a bunch of hippies and other people involved in the windmill madness.
Yup. "[Energia] had the capacity to place around 100 metric tons in Low Earth orbit (LEO), although it could have been (but never was) upgraded for heavier payloads comparable to (or even greater than) the LEO capacity of the Saturn V". Saturn V could place up to 118 metric tons in LEO.
Comparatively, Atlas V at the maximum only could place up to 25 metric tons to LEO
"Town board members surveyed the population and found that only 5.5 percent of townspeople are against the wind farm, while 58 percent are for it.
Of COURSE the news outlets are going to interview the squeaky wheels. Sells more copies.
I imagine in any population, you can find 5% who are against something, no matter how good an idea it may be.
That 5% will get pushed aside, so that the rest of us can get on with things."
Score:5, Insightful my nuts. "Opponents are suspicious of the survey because one person who conducted it is a landowner and stands to profit from the turbine project."
How are you gonna consider this survey reliable if obviously some of those who conducted it had something like a conflict of interest? I like that survey much better:
" * A survey of the impact of 22 turbines on citizens and landowners in the Township of Lincoln, WI asked 'How close to the wind turbines would you consider buying or building a home?': "61% stated they would not build or buy within one-half mile of turbines, 41% would have to be two or more miles away from turbines in order to build or buy, and 74% would not build or buy within one-quarter mile of turbines." Additional conclusions were: "Sales within 1 mile away prior to construction were 104% of the assessed values, and properties selling in the same area after construction were at 78%, a decrease of 26 points. Sales more than 1 mile away prior to construction were 105% of assessed values, and sales of properties 1 mile or more away after the construction of the turbines declined to 87% of the assessed value, an 18% decline."

Oh no you must be right, it has to be a consipracy theory of the medias secretly involved with the coal energy industry to make us think that people don't want no windmills as they trully do.
I'm afraid that by replying to posts like yours i'm gonna end up modded with Flamebait, but damn I can't stand to hear the kinda shit you just said.
"When the Eiffel Tower first went up, people said it was an eyesore and demanded that it be removed. Who wanted to live near a bunch of scaffolding? No doubt, they argued, it would destroy the character of the city and destroy property values. Now we can't imagine the city without it. "
Are you kidding me? Does the Eiffel Tower produce infrasounds that make you depressed? Does it throw ice away? Does it make the light of the sun blink when it goes through it? Does it kill birds? Does it scare some wild animals away and fuck up the ecosystem? No, it's a monument, a static one, plus there's only one like that, not fields of it in the countryside. Plus, you can get up on top of the windmills to eat at their restaurants and so that you can't see the windmill no more (cause the top of the Eifeel Tower is on of the rare place around where you can't see it, in case you don't like it..)
"people will discover they like lower taxes and cleaner air."
You can't be serious! Lower taxes, ok. Cleaner air??? How are you gonna have a cleaner air if it will never even make up 5% of the nationwide energy production? Aren't you gonna have a cleaner air if you replace all coil plants by nuclear plants? Can you even replace a fifth of the coil plants by windmills?
"I have no idea how a bunch of rotating blades could do as much damage to the human body as the fumes from coal and oil burning. (Note: I assume the human body does not actually come into contact with the blades)"
http://www.saveupstateny.com/he/, look at the other sections of the site as well, and tell me which you prefer between windmills that can't even get you rid of coal plants, or nuclear power that in many countries such as France totally replaces the use of fossil fuels.
"Agreed, but until we at least get the political will to deal with the existing waste we should be cautious about creating more."
You can't be serious, what kind of problem is nuclear waste compared to global warming? Not only windmills is a bad solution, because of windmills themselves, but they are hardly relieving from using coal, which is very bad for many obvious reasons. That's why nuclear power is such a good solution, because you can quickly switch from coal power to nuclear power, and nuclear waste is a joke compared to what coal use generates.
And fuck that, who cares that nuclear waste won't be gone in 10,000 years, cuz in like 300 years we'll be drilling a hole down to the core of earth and we'll dump that nuclear dump with the rest of the radioactive core of earth, or something like that. But a replacement to coal power in america is needed quickly, we can all agree on that, and nuclear power is actually the only solution, just because you can't get enough out of wind power or any other renewable source of energy.
I don't want to sound like i'm flamming, and i'm nothing close to a republican, but I got a serious beef with windmills and the damn hippies that wanna put them everywhere, over nuclear power plants.
How bad does it fuck up a landscape? Nobody seems to care (well besides the republicans from http://www.saveupstateny.com/), I mean, how can you be against nuclear power plants, as they hardly polute anything, and want to put the mills everywhere? Because nuclear power plants can explode? Correct me if i'm wrong, but last time it happened i wasn't born yet.
I really can't understand that windmill madness, if anyone can explain me, why does these damn hippies who are supposed to love nature want to see everywhere, and why do governments think they really must get into it, as if it was the solution of the future? Personally I really don't want a future with a countryside full of that shit, aerial power lines are already bad enough, it's yet nothing compared to that.
It is to be regretted that 40 years ago we had a rocket more powerful than any of the ones we got now. Actually I've been quite surprised to hear that we had nothing as powerful as a Saturn V, it's like, going technologically backwards, although if you look at the problem from close, we were lucky not to have any problem with Saturn V's and the context was much different (and allowed such gigantic rockets to be invested in).
And yeah as you said, big rockets like Saturn V ain't all about manned missions, they could be about sending much bigger probes. Who knows, if we had tried to develop really more powerful rockets, maybe we could have sent a probe to Pluto with some much energy in it to slow down enough to get in orbit around Pluto, but you can imagine anything that you could send to space with bigger rockets.
Btw, as for Bush's plan to return to the Moon, are we going to have to make rockets as powerful as the Saturn V?
