  1. Re:Past the boiling point of water? on Iranian City Soars To Record 129F Degrees: Near Hottest On Earth in Modern Measurements (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Not for the same reasons you hate America, which I am certain you will delve into if given the opportunity.

    That is not a glass of water. It's a saline solution.

    Calling it a glass of water is the same thing as calling a glass of wine a glass of water.

  3. Nowhere in that sentence did I see it mentioned that the "53.7C" mentioned was a temperature. Perhaps 'the city of Ahvaz' is actually a large capacitor that was charged to 53.7 coulombs. Depending on the voltage involved, that could make it a particularly large capacitor.

  4. Then the law of physics must make it impossible for refrigerators to work, because they usually exist within environments where the temperature inside is reduced due to a mechanism that transfers the heat to outside the refrigerator. The human body obviously doesn't by necessity use the same mechanism of heat transfer as a refrigerator, but come on, you were talking about general rules governing over all laws of physics.

    Didn't the Obama administration send pallets of cash into Iran which disappeared without a trace?

    It is turning more and more into the net depicted in 1975 in John Brunner's book The Shockwave Rider.

    Also elements from Pohl & Kornbluth's 1952 book The Space Merchants.

    The unfortunate bit is that the Republicans touched the steaming turd that is Obamacare in any fashion. It is and was set to collapse entirely due to it being a failure at healthcare reform. If the Harridan had been elected President it would still be doomed to collapse in the near future. But because Republicans are now 'In charge' they are saddled with the shitstorm that is emerging.

    It's kinda the same deal as Obama inheriting the Iraq Occupation shitstorm that Bush set in motion.

    You're saying that 'businesses moving out' bit over and over. Almost like you're spamming the discussion.

    When a story completely contradicts your theory about institutional racism, cite racism anyway.

    Do you have a one-track mind??

    The only innocent victims are the people who didn't pay the ransom and won't get their files back.

    The people who paid are financing the criminal's next operation.

    (Many of my most capable co-workers have been Russians who were able to leave, and man, we their talent working for us, rather than against us, for both our sakes.)

    I would change that to 'working with us.' They are not subordinates.

    To teach K-12 in the US, you need a degree in 'Education' which is for the most part a cultural indoctrination.

    I welcome him to the Sahara, where coming face to face with some of its four legged inhabitants [without protection], immediately invokes the question, "Could you be my next meal?" in the animal's mind.

    To heck with going all the way to the Sahara. I can walk five hundred feet from my house, out back into the pasture at night, and find coyotes asking that question to themselves.

  17. Words from a human are going to prevent a dog from mating with a bitch that is in heat??

    It will listen. But that's the limit of it's response.

  18. So, how about just not collecting the money and letting the people, locally, decide how to spend it themselves.

    Lots of people feel their 'job' or whatever they primarily do is their life's work.

    My microwave oven has a microcontroller with an 'opaque binary blob' in it and it heats up oatmeal just fine. I wouldn't want it to do anything else.

    I would hope that these things will be open, but I don't expect it.

    Really, the Raspberry Pi hackers need to reverse engineer the stuff in the 'closed' controllers and replace them. Perhaps that will be more and more possible as time goes on.

    I could get to like being able to dig into the controller on my Microwave Oven and adding functionality that would like (which wouldn't include the oatmeal company keeping track of how long I cook my oatmeal.)
