Why'd I get modded down when it is 100% true. THE reason sc2 is crashing is because he's on an imac. Feel free to look it up. Or just realize that it was pretty obvious to begin with.
Why would it? People following twitter feeds and bored enough to follow google trends are probably an ok-good demographic. The ads were all relevant. And if someone wanted to melt a bunch of candy together the ads were right there. Seriously, all the ads were on various types of candy and one party favours shop.
Money can also be valued differently given different amounts rather than a flat line. 10,000 dollars is worth more than 100x 100 dollars. Depending on what you do with it. If for example you want to buy patents to troll people for millions of dollars. There is a really good one for 10k then a hundred dollars does you no fucking good, you can buy a new video game. Because of this effect, lotteries become valuable before they reach the break even point.
Bush was informed that there was a high chance of an alqaeda attack on us soil probably in the form of hijacked planes. So no, he wouldn't have been shocked when the WTC got hit. This is freely available information.
Your console is probably bugging out. After character creation the game is supposed to wipe your memories so you don't know anything about the real world while playing. Makes it more immersive apparently.
"When you get old, meh, Death? Can't wait to meet him. As we get closer we will come to realize it all ain't that bad."
Thats called rationalizing. Old people if they had the option to die or swap into a young cadaver and live healthily for another 50years would take it. And they would not like the idea of death all over again.
You need to sex these things up to sell it to the general public. They are fairly stupid sheep. Think about fox news viewers. Remember them proving agw didn't exist because there was a snowstorm? Stakes are high. I say let the scientists do what they can to sex issues up otherwise they won't get looked at til it is too late. They aren't lying or making shit up, just making it sound more impressive. If there world were logical than cute endangered animals would get the same amount of funding as creepy ones. I can't believe i'm saying this but don't hate the player yo hate the game.
OTOH building a symbolic island seems sort of stupid. There is probably another way it could be cleaned up and still get people on board. But remember the PR board thought of the island, scientists merely said t was workable.
The waste in many cases seems avoidable and its upsetting that to get people on board it has to be there. In my highschool we raised money for Haiti with a fundraising blitz, running starving and baking up a storm. What did we get? A school (good) that gives out food (bribery for education also good). But it was also a god damn church. Effectively doubling the cost of the building. It wasn't for the Haitians, it was for the donors. Bringing god to these people was as important to many donors as was education and pulling them out of their horrible strife ridden 3rd world situation.
And if you truly virtuous and truly wealthy and really wanted to good for the Haitians you had the option of buying a plane ticket flying down there, rolling up your sleeves and help build said church. I hope while there they noticed that to 'help out', a starving Haitian construction worker likely more experienced than them could have died.
Anyone aligned w/ socrates is bound to piss off the drone producing drones known as teachers. Least it likely won't get you killed:P (And I'm sure you wouldn't have done anything differently even if you'd known the teacher was going to kick you out, so fuck em)
Coal total production costs: 2.97
Nuclear total production costs: 2.03
So nuclear is the cheapest day to day energy producer (obviously it has large upfront costs) even compared to coal. And it is by far the cheapest of the clean energies. As for the subsidies, Nuclear produces 14x as much energy as Wind and 1000x as much energy as Solar.
And even given all that I was unable to find data that showed total Nuclear subsidies so high compared to 'renewables' subsidies. According to the EIA's site in 2007 renewables got 4.9billion and nuclear got 1.3billion in tax breaks and subsidies. Gas and coal each getting more in subsidies as well than nuclear. http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/servicerpt/subsidy2/pdf/execsum.pdf
Could you get some numbers to back up the claim that solar or wind comes even remotely close to nuclear power in terms of costs per kwh without any subsidies? Because I'm pretty sure there are no such figures from unbiased reputable sources (IEA/EIA/OECD). (FYI all of my info was from eia).
I agree it is a cultural thing. But it isn't that the culture generally changed which filled the internet with asshats. It is that back in the day the only culture online was one of intelligent and reserved nerds. Letting everyone in caused two issues.
One, nerds don't tend to be assholes as often as non-nerds. Perhaps our being exposed to assholes repeatedly from a young age taught us to be good. Or it might be that nerds are more likely to think things through and not be assholes. (There are a wide variety of reasons people do asshole-ish things but being a nerd cuts some of them back).
The other perhaps bigger issue is that we used to be homogeneous in culture, less risk for clash. With people with all kinds of views there is a greater chance of clash. I mean, Sarah Palin can use the internet. If someone that stupid were online in IRC/Usenet days we'd have been brutal to them... It was just less likely.
Perhaps, back when nerds still had some power over the internet (when we were petitioning to have it made public) we should have made some rules as to who could get on. ‘Write one page each about your favourite mathematician, philosopher, scientist and political activist.’. It is too late to impose any such test now. Even a test to write a paragraph on a subject of your choosing without any glaring errors would be far too stringent.
I think he was saying that assholes would be burning relatively OK people...
"Blizzard's confidence is effectively the only thing keeping people from setting you on fire." Anyone that is willing to set fire to someone and kill them over ANY action in wow has problems and is almost certainly worse than whoever they might be burning.
People are used to assholes enough that they lose less customers to the assholes than the revenue the assholes bring in. So it wouldn't be worth it. Repeated 2-5 day bans would be more likely.

"iMac" ... Found your problem.
Thats stupid. WSJ != Fox news. And Murdoch fucking hates Google to the core. Seriously.
I thought OP was making an elegant argument against unfettered capitalism.
That or car jackers are stupid and or not thinking straight at the time.

# To transmit a message or signal via radio waves or electronic means
# To transmit a message over a wide area
Seems to fit... The definition by the FCC will obviously be different than the average person's thoughts.

Given the attacks on the biosciences it isn't that big of a hyperbole to say there might be attacks on climate scientists.

Nuclear power makes up 20% of energy production in the US. 49% of it coal, 22% gas (both dirty energy).
From EIA:
Coal Maintenance costs: 0.67
Nuclear Maintenance costs: 1.46
Coal Fuel costs: 2.30
Nuclear Fuel costs: 0.57
Coal total production costs: 2.97
Nuclear total production costs: 2.03
So nuclear is the cheapest day to day energy producer (obviously it has large upfront costs) even compared to coal. And it is by far the cheapest of the clean energies. As for the subsidies, Nuclear produces 14x as much energy as Wind and 1000x as much energy as Solar.

In new jersey they just stole gas from other people's cars.

EJ has a policy of insta-banning people that are stupid. A policy I imagine blizzard cannot enact.
