you can mod this up or down, it wont matter. what does matter is how reliable our predictions are. in a perfect world we would know exactly what the weather would be everyday but even with our gobs and gobs of data we still cant tell what the weather will be. sure, we have "70% chance of showers" but what about the weather in a month? no idea at all. i think it's incredibly arrogant to think we can tell what the earth is doing when we have so little data. even thousands of years of data is a blip and cant be used to reliably predict how the earth will be in the next 10 years.
in all honesty, i think this panicking over global climate is going to be looked on the same was as we view the Red Scare.
I used to be on linux for the longest time because it's was terribly hard to use had poor drivers, WINE wouldnt work on anything,.NET was completely inaccessible and all the GUIs were poor. GIMP was my favorite, you could barely figure out anything and it would drive you nuts. Those were the days. Unfortunately, they started improving things slowly. They even made GIMP slightly better... but i can get that on windows too and it's even slower. Before you had to manually mount the CDROM drive so you had to memorize commands, maybe add yourself to sudo or try to install kernel drivers. But now it all works when you plug it in and even remote ftp and scp data transfers are simple. But hey, I had RPM dependency hell still... until they fixed that with Debian and even unified the installation and uninstallation process. I finally had it with the simplicity of it all and switched back to windows. I never knew it before but Windows 7 takes a huge amount of resources any my poor 1GHz and crap video card go slooow a big thanks to Aero. How awesome is that? Oh yeah, I have 1GB of RAM so there is a shitload of diskswapping. I don't have enough space on my drive to hold Windows and my applications so I have to uninstall all the time. With it hanging sometimes during uninstallation, it gets all messed up and I have to remove the files and registry entries manually (sweet!). However, I've heard all this bitching about how Gnome 3 and Unity make the whole desktop impossible to use and Gnome 3 needs hardware acceleration which my graphics card cant manage well, so fingers crossed on having to go to software rendering. It's all so exciting, I might just switch to Linux and when i must, run Windows 7 on QEMU.
Thanks Gnome team for bring back the suffering to the Linux Desktop!!!
dont upload anything you dont want retained. remember when people understood what sayings like "the cat's out of the bag" and "you let the genie out of the bottle" meant?
what i'm really getting at is: DONT UPLOAD IT IF YOU DONT WANT EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING TO SEE, READ AND ANALYZE IT.
An Israeli Court rejected the appeal of a prisoner who requested to have an Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 stating, "there is no possibility to remove the internet connectivity apparatus from the device because we are too fucking stupid to do so"
send it to a guy that repairs PS3s and i'll bet you they can harvest all the networking components just fine.
i've used mozilla stuff since 2002. i used mozilla then pheonix then firefox. i was around for the good and the bad but this tears it. seriously, it seems like 2011 is the year of bat shit crazy decisions over at mozilla. nay, 2011 is the year of bat shit crazy decisions at mozilla. all mozilla has done lately is follow everything chrome does and now this! what is this, google envy?
the people steering mozilla need a swift kick in the pants because they are acting like a drunken bard out on sunset boulevard. (i would like to apologize to all the drunken bards on sunset boulevard that i may have offended.)
Google has lots of APIs to let you do most anything. If you need to embed an entire page from google then you are doing it wrong. This is a security issue and frankly I'm glad they are acting responsible.
DOING IT WRONG:
I am designing a web site and I wish to make extensive use of google.com via iframing.
Lets see them try to judge someone who lives on less than $35 a day for downloading copyrighted material instead of buying it. Now that its going to be endorsed by a political party, all hell will break loose in the polling booths and maybe we can see a Pirate Party in power in Australia. This will also endorse the behaviour of riots against American corporations, and could affect more than just sales of music or movies. Thanks for shooting yourselves in the foot fellow majority political parties!
An exercise is when you pretend something is happening and react according to instruction/protocol. Jamming GPS is kinda like breaking your sparing partners arm, completely uncalled for.
if they are having power issues with TVs...

i do reserve the right to be completely wrong.
sounds like a job for Anonymous. ;)
GAO, you have just won a FREEEE AUDIT!!! :)
is gone.
this time with an artistic twist
everyone says product X is a huge mistake until it starts selling like hotcakes.
that said, i think google tv is a huge mistake.
caused high power usage for many Intel Linux systems
it really is a simple fix. ;)
The proper term is Little Stars.

these devices can save a lot of money for drug testing in the judicial system like the rapid DNA comparison project will with immigration.
not everyone is happy about this technology but there is no denying it can save us money.

new UI, a new graphics engine, and a redesign of all current maps.
reminds me of Anchor Man that is "based on a true story" and "only the names, places and events have been changed."

so... what planet do you live on?
i think requiring them to report breaches with details of just what was compromised would be a lot better than a shitload of logs of port scanners.
someone yells, "delete all my porn!"
a decent solution to a butter face.
the adolescents could add 11 pounds in weight in a single day. The adult was found to be 30% heavier than earlier estimates at more than 9 tons.
isn't anyone concerned about this dinosaur obesity epidemic?!

they should also give up on cell phones
thanks captain obvious.
has anyone else noticed almost every patent suit is filed in Eastern Texas? it's like there is something pulling them there. very strange indeed.
