You're being ridiculous. I have a 50 Mbps connection and that is absolutely broadband. I could get a faster one if I wanted it, but why the hell would I pay more money? So that my Debian ISO can finish downloading in 2 minutes instead of 5? Don't be retarded.
My home network runs at 1 gigabit and I can't even saturate that unless I really try. Sure my file server can technically push out files at 3 times that speed, but what's the point when none of the hard drives on the client machines can write at faster than about 0.8 gbps? And you're telling me that the average home needs a connection that is faster than that? Fuck off. Maybe in 20 years we will actually need gigabit speeds for every house; until then it's just a nice-to-have.
Why the feds? You would think the profits from a single casino would be enough to roll out broadband to half the reserves in the USA. How in the world is this a federal responsibility?
That's the geopolitical equivalent of yelling "hey, look over there!". Cute little trick to misdirect the simpleminded, but absolutely devoid of any substance.
You think that because you watched Dances with Wolves and now believe that you're an expert on American Indians. It's the soft racism of the western left; making broad generalizations about the lives, beliefs, motives, and desires of a large group of people based on nothing other than their genetic lineage.
Well if you want to go that far back, you'll have to be more specific about which bits of history you're referring to. French militray assistance to varuous Viatnamese royals in the late 18th/early 19th century? The French kicking the Chinese out of Northern Vietnam? The Vietnamese royalty requesting that Vietnam be a French protectorate? The Cambodians requesting the same thing? The Japanese conquest of French Indochina? The defeat of the Japanese and reestablishment of French control?
Are you under some strange delusion that the region was some kind of pacifist paradise with the French just stomping around randomly and killing people for no reason? If so, you certainly have no business lecturing anyone else about history.
Look at some of the shit France did in Vietnam during the colonial period. No wonder they fought for their independence and reunification for like 40 years until it happened.
That's a cute way of putting it. Meanwhile, in reality, the war in Vietnames starting with the French involvement was very much a civil war quite similar to the one in Korea. Communists in the north vs a democratic republic in the south, with Russia and China supporting their commie brothers while France (and, later, America) tried to prop up the democraric south.
Sure, the French did some horrible things. So did the Americans. Any brutality displayed by either of those participants pales in comparison to what the Vietnamese did to them, and to each other.
That's a cute story, but there's no way that any such system was actually used "under battlefield conditions". It seems like you're just retelling a story which is a corruption of a much earlier story, all of which are almost certainly apocryphal. Original story can be seen here:
It's funny because I think physics became a religion with physicists worshiping Einstein and Bohr and ignoring the basic flaws in the model they are presented.....
It's funny because that's exactly what Gene Ray said....
I'm not at all surprised that you are, once again, lying about this contents of a political article. Should I be? You want me to look surprised, try telling the truth for a change.
Because the oil business is complicated. The US imports and exports oil. It is also has one of the largest oil refining industries on the planet. Not all oil is the same, so refineries will often get oil from multiple sources and then mix it together to make it easier to refine.
When you take into account both imports and exports, the net difference is about 3.7 million barrels per day imported into the US. Consumption is at about 20 million barrels per day, so the imports are still a significant chunk of that. The main reason that the US is a net importer rather than a net exporter is the low price of oil on the global markets; as long as the price remains low, many of the American oil fields cannot be profitably operated. If the price went up significantly it would not be long before the US became a net exporter.
Yeah, science found that other people are forcing you to eat. Sure it did.
This article is crap. I've been to places where the diesel fumes in the air are only slightly less anoying than the smell of raw sewage and burning garbage. Places where the particulate count on a good day makes Los Angeles air seem absolutely pristine in comparison. This article would have us believe that their obesity rates should be off the charts, and yet the number of fat people I saw in any given day could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Why? People eat less, and exercise more. But that's not really their decision, right? It's all just fucking magic.
Nothing. Musk has said from day one that tunnels are boring. Maybe if you would pay attention and stop asking stupid questions you wouldn't get modded down.
Because you're not going 1.5 miles, stupid. You're probably going 50+ miles, out of which 1.5 is severely congested, 5 is moderately contested, 15 is lightly congested and the rest is smooth sailing. You want to walk 50 miles? Have at 'er. I'm taking the car.
The fact that companies like Zerolemon exist and have consistently made a profit for years now means that there is definitely a viable market for bulkier phones with significantly better battery life. You would think that at least one major phone manufacturer would have the balls to at least try and court that market.
I like it! Very postmodernist! Hell, if people post online that the earth is flat... maybe it is!. If I say that you're a rapist and a pedophile... maybe you are! Who needs silly things like facts and evidence; reality is subjective anyway!
Wikipedia is unreliable. I use silly things like research papers.
Well that's wonderful! While you're fixing wikipedia you better also go sort out those idiots at ITER, who say the same thing:
"Plasma energy breakeven has never been achieved: the current record for energy release is held by JET, which succeeded in generating 16 MW of fusion power, for 24 MW of power used to heat the plasma (a Q ratio of 0.67)"
It's almost as if wikipedia actually is pretty reliable, and cites credible sources! But that must be an illusion, right? Clearly those assclown scienticians at ITER are just a bunch of ignorant bastards who have never read any papers. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to have your input! Imagine how much progress they'll be able to make once they know that they've been wasting their time trying to get to break-even when others have already done it!

Right? China is even better. A fiber connection in every rural hut. They'll get the clean water thing figured out afterwards; gotta have priorities.
So you're saying you think it's OK to just grab anything you happen to see in public?
I'm not a woman, so no, I obviously can't do that. Instead I just wear a banana hammock in public and have them grab me.
It still is.
Feel free to start your own robot lab and give away the results for free.

No problem; by the time they get here our Starship Troopers will be ready and waiting.
That's where he was wrong; it turned out very well.
How often do you stop to talk to ants? Do you even treat ants as intelligent? That's what we might be for intergalactic spacefaring civilizations.
If an ant shone a fucking laser beam in my eye, yeah, I'd stop and have a chat with him ...

It's a reusable tunnel. Shut up!
