but I still disagree with the behavior on moral grounds, regardless of other factors.
What does disagreeing with something on moral grounds entail exactly? If something does no harm to anyone, what possible grounds are there to consider it "wrong"?
Alcoholism is a bad example because even if you don't hurt anyone around you (which is rare) you are hurting yourself, so on some level you could arguing that self-destructive behaviour is bad or wrong.
But being homosexual (which is not a choice anyway) doesn't hurt the person, or anyone around them, in any way.
The irrational aversions of people around them probably do cause harm as a consequence, but you can't be held responsible for other people's shortcomings.
Walmart says it has no plans to produce the WAVE concept,
Then why make this prototype? I suppose it might have been more expensive to make than they thought or something, but it seems a shame to waste all that work.
If you're wrong, and one of the other religions is right, you're just as fucked as an atheist. We're all disbelievers to almost every religion. Some of us just go one further than you. My odds of getting some punishing afterlife are barely any different to yours, which ever way you look at it.
I mean the generalisation is unjustified. To know that is a trivial matter of meeting any single mother that doesn't deserve to be dismissed as a "disease".
That's a fascinating rant about nothing the OP actually said. He wasn't claiming that old cars are more resilient than new cars. He was merely pointing out that if you want to, it is possible to maintain any car indefinitely.
Depends what you mean by better tech. Betamax traded picture quality for running time. VHS had longer running tapes that you could fit an entire movie on from day one. Betamax didn't get that till later. Sony probably made the tapes too short for a movie deliberately as a form of DRM (that's a joke)
Once a year, in the spring, if I have a net surplus, SRP credits my account and resets the surplus to zero. And I generate about half again as much as I consume -- enough to power my not-yet-purchased electric vehicle -- so they credit me a fair amount every year. It's enough to pay the basic connection fee for about half the year, in fact, so I only even pay that for about six months per year.
But.
Rather than crediting me at the $0.12 / kWh typical residential retail rate, or the $0.25+ / kWh they purchase peak summer power (which is when I'm generating most of my surplus electricity), they pay me about $0.02 / kWh.
I don't understand how it's even possible to text while driving. I can't look away from the road for more than a couple of seconds without feeling like I have a dangerously outdated awareness of my situation. And I'm usually drifting into the middle of the road...
I would imagine cache isn't addressable via CPU instructions. I think you would have to modify the CPU to use the L4 Cache as if it were RAM. But then my understanding of how CPUs work comes from reading a book in the mid 90's that had probably been in the school library since the early 80's.
Ouch, the hostility. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. I have read the studies, and this isn't an open and shut case. Also if you're going to be unnecessarily snarky, it's "effects", not "affects".

Is it worse for your lungs than flying sharpnel?
A bold statement.

You don't understand the meaning of the term "non-sequitur".
my slashdot looks like that too.
That's a syntax error resulting from a typo, not a non-sequitur. Non-sequitur much?
there's a post in between these two that slashdot hid because the rating was too low.
Hey! I love ARM because Acorns were full of ARM. Apple indeed...

The universe includes everything that exists
Never heard of the multiverse?
If you see a single mother, stay the hell away from her. She's a disease. I know that sounds completely awful and it is.
You don't need to indulge in unneccesary and irrational dehumanising generalisations to justify your anger at how you were treated.

The vast majority of Cops in the UK aren't allowed to carry guns either. Absolutely none of them are after they retire.
I like star trek 3

You sir, have never played a Yamaha CS-80.
It's entirely analogue, it makes the most mind-meltingly beautiful and organic sounds and is impossible to mimic.
I'd love to watch a TV news report where they expand that abbreviation. "The CUNTCUNTCUNT today detained a woman..."
