hawaii says its gonna create an electric car charging network.
the fecking article suggests 'hawaii is more suitable for wind power generation'.
has the world gone mad in the last 2 hours i've been playing wow ?
what relevance does an electric car charging network and wind power generation have, in regard to CHARGING CARS ?
so according to article hawaii should ditch car charging network, and install wind power generation instead. and HOW ARE YOU GONNA CHARGE CARS EASILY ?
In a lot of industries many people are doing very hard jobs and making world go around. its not the problem.
the problem is feasibility. up to this point, from what it seems, mainstream computer users and even non-niche I.T. world didnt have the need for multi cores' increased performance. what do they do daily runs on existing stuff already.
and if multi core programming takes longer time, which is the main cost in programming and development projects, its a no go. huge time, small efficiency gain that little number of people care about -> infeasible.
check out games. its one of the most cutting edge areas of mainstream computer usage, and what ? crysis uses 2 cores and its still the most loaded game in demand for performance. how many 4 core games are there ? none ?
there.
this may work for supercomputing, and then again a niche part of it, but i dont see it for mainstream computer usage or i.t. industry work.
thats what berlusconi is. a total monkey, who grabbed the power with the help of his wealth, and press, and thinks that such stupid stunts can be pulled in civilized world.
you may ask whether i do not consider italy a civilized country.
well, in a civilized country monkeys or clowns do not grab power, and attempt insolence to the extent of trying to control entire WORLD's free speech.
They are cheap bastards, used to shipping unfinished items to the market, and i really didn't think they would stop on this bullshit behavior for a new game. And while everyone was laughing at me then, look at them now. " Oh, wow just came out with an expansion, I'm going back". Yeah yeah, go kill six snow mooses now [penny-arcade.com], go.
please dont bullshit without having an idea on what you talk about, just like the jerk in the article.
im playing games since 1982, zx spectrum. i've seen c64 days, 486 days, golden age of gaming, mmos. i played swg, wow, aoc. and therefore im VERY hard to please.
and i can say that northrend is like nothing you speak of, its clearly a labor of love. the mere content in wyrmrest temple in dragonblight, which supposedly constitutes 1/4 of that SINGLE zone out of 10, is much more than the content in previous wow expansions. and quality too. there are many zones like that -> if you forced, you could make small expansions out of them.
again, dont bullshit like the article - dont talk about something you havent seen yet.
just examine how linux, despite being totally decentralized effort, is able to make gains into the total monopoly a corporation like microsoft had, and you'll see the superiority of communal defense.
note that microsoft has much more budget than many government agencies. and even many countries.
so this article is practically a blatant attempt to make people believe into letting some jerky government control the internet. whomever wrote and propagated this article should be beaten with a thick stick - only that can beat sense into them.
No, we don't know everything, but we have roundly disproven almost everything that people used to believe, including whatever hokum you have in your mind about this.
VERY scientific, pioneering talk. just like the journals that claimed 'everything that can be discovered, is discovered' back in 1850s.
Modern science may be a long way off from what was accepted 500 years ago, but the fact is that 500 years ago there was some kind of consistently observable phenomenon that somebody made note of. Somebody studied it, and thought about it, and theorized about it, and new conclusions were established. Somebody else carried the work a little farther, or maybe new technologies allowed greater insights than previously possible. But eventually, science advances.
please refer to comment below for response to above :
And comparing modern science to any church just proves your stunning ignorance. There's nothing scientists love more than tearing down old theories and replacing them with something new, and there's no quicker way to get your name in the history books. It may take time for new ideas to catch on (as it should--it takes time to build evidence and persuade people) but valid concepts don't get buried just because they're inconvenient. Spend some time with any real scientists and see if you're still willing to make such an inane statement.
and the above paragraph proves your stunning lack of perception.
no scientist tears down anything that is not allowed to be torn down by the established academia community.
its just like how a believer, or how a mental patient is not aware that they are fixated in some belief or behavior pattern. the current academia IS in a pattern that is established during the last 500 years, and as all perception is immersed in it, it is taken as the absolute and complete truth, and the right way to behave.
it is a complete church with all tools in it - instead of inquisition, you have 'getting discredited' today. instead of burning at the stake, you have 'cutting the research funds' today. instead of demotion, you have 'losing a chair faculty' today. all the other behaviour sets are there. it is demanded that you try to explain EVERYthing with the CURRENT set of tools available, current belief system, current sciences. just like when chemistry got despised, and even prosecuted at its dawn despite mathematicians were teaching in church universities, today anyone that is trying to open up a new field is totally crucified.
thats nothing less than a church.
dont err in thinking that this behavior set is something belongs to distant past. it is a group behavior of homo sapiens sapiens, and it has been here, and will be here. it is just foolish to ignore that it doesnt exist.
The problem with 99% of the so-called supernatural is that there's not the slightest damn bit of evidence to support new fields of study.
evident that you dont know anything about the supernatural you are criticizing and debunking. there are loads of observations, but all of them are refused and discarded, and the undeniable ones are just ignored.
There was a lab at Duke University for at least 20-30 years for the study of psi phenomenon like ESP, telepathy, etc. Now, granted, I'm sure they weren't the most highly funded department, but in all the time they were active they never found a damn thing. If these phenomenon were real, wouldn't you expect to see SOMETHING? And if you found solid evidence of some hitherto fantastic phenomenon, wouldn't you trumpet it from the rooftops even if mainstream scientists ignored you? Yet no good evidence seems to exist.
no you cant observe ANYthing in a lab, before you have a basic understanding of the mechanism you are trying to observe, and have the right tools for it.
its simple - its just like some person setting up a quantum physics lab back in 1850. you know that something is there, you know that it has to be something, but you dont have either the knowledge to make controlled experiment and even manifest the phenomenon, or even the tools to do it. before you make a breakthrough and at least catch a usable clue, you wont be accomplishing anything with that kind of lab. but, you cant do even that with the constant state of denial and despise in current scholastic academia.
That's a load of horseshit, and the fact that you'd make such a claim suggests to me that you have very little contact with people doing actual science. When I was a grad student hanging around the bio department, the folks in the department are some of the cleverest, most engaged individuals you're ever likely to meet, and they're all hungry to dig out new concepts and ideas. Imagine being the guy who creates an entirely new field of study--even if you died penniless and unsung, you'd be a legend. Many, many scientists would be willing to pursue long shots for such an opportunity.
and the fact that you are posting above paragraph suggests that you are an individual that talks with half assed opinions and knowledge.
your bio dept folks are open to new ideas WITHIN the boundaries that modern scholastic church of academia defined. just like how churchmen of 16th century were open to many ideas WITHIN the boundaries catholic church defined. anyone who suggested anything that went out of untold borders, got tagged as heretic back then, and today, 'kook'.
what we know as 'science' today and what constitutes its 'grounding', were total superstition and fairytales and rumors just 500 years ago. imagine trying to explain a Muon, quark, or a gluon, or hell, the mathematical dimensions to someone of average or higher education back in 1564.
but today's science has become almost like the catholic church of 1500s. it has become a religion that has strict belief system in itself, and denies anything that doesnt fit in it. god forbid if you try to open up a new science field -> you are going to get marked as a kook.
it is evident that today science tags stuff it cant yet explain with established mathematical and physics models with the label 'supernatural' and tries to dismiss. its too much an effort to establish a new science branch and its calculation/measurement medium anymore.
nothing comes out of nonexistence, and nothing goes to nonexistence. they only transform.
this is a universal rule, dont err - it does not only relate to electricity, heat and whatnot, it is valid for EVERY kind of thing. you have to go a bit theoretical and philosophical here.
a human is also an entity and a form of energy, in addition to the body mass and the heat it generates.
but the effect of an entity (any living entity) is much more greater than its bodily production - imagine cities around you, machines, works of art, music, anything -> every existent thing is a part of this universe, and they are various forms of energy themselves.
the simple point is this, if a human entity complex's total energy had been as much as the bodily heat it generates and mass it contains, physically it should have been impossible for 20 of them to combine and create exponentially higher impact on their environment. therefore, their power should not be limited to their bodily complex's heat and mass, there has to be more, some form of energy which we dont know about. this is not too far fetched when you think that at the time bohr introduced his atom model, we didnt know that that atom nuclei contained energy that could destroy cities.
therefore, philosophically, according to conservation of energy (existence actually), nothing comes out of nonexistence, and nothing goes to nonexistence.
this tells that when a human complex dies, there is some other form of energy released that equals everything that human complex did in his life minus his body mass and heat.

where does the google's search service pull the data from ? out of thin air ?
are you stupid, or you dont know that it is mandatory to crawl web pages and create a current index so people will be actually able to FIND stuff ?
no joke. american healthcare industry would take everything except your soul to treat a mere sneeze.

read some science history for god's sakes.
Everything we know says it isn't so.
unbelievable. what is that 'everything' ? like conservation of energy ? like dewey larson's physics ?
we have had discovered many things back in 1850. there were even scientific journals claiming 'everything that can be discovered, is discovered'.
then review the last 150 years.
what we know as 'science' today and what constitutes its 'grounding', were total superstition and fairytales and rumors just 500 years ago. imagine trying to explain a Muon, quark, or a gluon, or hell, the mathematical dimensions to someone of average or higher education back in 1564.

it takes time for a soul passed to the other side to adjust to higher frequency and eventually become unperceptible for us.
alien now means 'out of this star system'. like, as in, if some entity from mars appeared out of nowhere and landed, they wont be aliens no more.
yay for star system comradeship
it is evident that today science tags stuff it cant yet explain with established mathematical and physics models with the label 'supernatural' and tries to dismiss. its too much an effort to establish a new science branch and its calculation/measurement medium anymore.
science grown too stale and complacent. lazy.
the 'love' you are speaking about is not love. its obsession.
conservation of energy.
nothing comes out of nonexistence, and nothing goes to nonexistence. they only transform.
this is a universal rule, dont err - it does not only relate to electricity, heat and whatnot, it is valid for EVERY kind of thing. you have to go a bit theoretical and philosophical here.

or, when you did, you should have done it controlled, with you waiting on top of him and keeping him in sight at all times.
and couldnt be anything else.
because, as mankind, we have discovered all secrets of existence up to this point.
18th century bliss ?
agrarian bliss ?
BLISS !?!?
duuuuuh.
