lol i got only 35lines but i dont think it was due to screen spinning. It lagged a little when i rotated. and when i sped blocks down it lagged as well. though something might be up with my computer...
Please don't use mph and fps on the internet. I thought/. had at least moved to metric... Plus, fps means frames per second for most of us... I thought you meant he was going to break the fourth wall and realize he was in the matrix then apparently start to lag down to 120fps (which is more than enough for people anyways...).
Err... its only been 10 years, hockey stick graph covered 420,000 years... The stick is still growing w/e but the graph just doesn't look much different than it did 10 years ago. (The stick part is like 150 years old)... http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/ trends are generally continuing, unless you think the last 4ish years are particularly damning to a 150year trend.
Also Its called global warming not american warming... But there is a graph for that towards the bottom. It shows a big drop the last 2 years, we'll see if that holds up... Again I think we need a few more years (not that AGW is affected if any particular country cools...)
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/ some of these have been updated within the past week. The 5year average shows increases.... So maybe you mean the trend for the last 5 years? But you know what, when it comes to meteorological data a 5 year trend means fuck all, like saying we've been having a cooling trend the last 5months (in north america anyways).
Also the arctic sea ice is melting faster than ANY of the 18! (not a factorial, just emphasis) models the IPCC used. The arctic is losing 3% per decade, the south is gaining.8%. Antarctic ice is also more prone to fluctuation anyways, each year it gains then looses a greater % of its ice than the arctic does which is generally stable. This is akin to saying you are doing ok this term in school because your gym mark went up as you fail all your other courses.
Erm if we had people there.. I assume it would entail us having the science and engineering required to put people there... Unless you meant we fired meat popsicles into a martian impact... which while interesting would be less useful. (I'd do it if i died just so i could be the first man on mars due to a technicality)... Anyways, I do agree that robots are a good 1st step in most cases.. like scouts. But humans are the next step and if we were there already that'd be dandy.... My vote is for humans and robots in space, aka more funding rather than some weird idea/.ers have that we have to choose.
This won't tell us anything about twitter or facebook. We are aware these aren't valid news sources.
What it does highlight is if the stuff they come up with is the same as regular journalism... then regular journalism has been proven to be completely worthless.
PS: I don't know why people read anything who's citation is anything other than scholarly papers, news wires...... that's it. And they should all link to their source... in case I want to read the paper or listen to recordings taken by AP/Reuters. If you are citing a newspaper in your blog or another blog you are playing a horrible game of information telephone. And your product is shit.
BS, there were no links (meaning mutual support, in cahoots or w/e you want to call it) between Saddam and Bin Laden. Just cause they were aware of each others existence doesn't mean anything. I could probably look up kim jong ils number but it doesn't mean i have links to the guy in the sense meant.
BS again, you said yourself none were found. 22% of people said they were, they were wrong, we agree. Then you apologize for them on something separate.
Yeah like Iceland who deployed 2 troops... I'm not so sure how much that was support as it was acceptance.
Similarly:
Norway - 150
Portugal - 128
New Zealand - 61
Denmark - 540
Japan - 600
And so on.... Lots of countries accepted the war. But very few supported it. Oh and the US bribed many countries to lend support. Giving Turkey 8.5BN$ for example... And again you are apologizing for something different. Its a yes no question. And the support was pretty lame. If you took it to a planetary referendum the percentages would have been pretty horrific. Maybe in the 20:80 range.
Significantly less flashy... Firing machine guns at a car brings a good deal of attention.. shutting off their car, not as much. And I doubt all 'criminals' can be lumped in with cold hearted killing machines. Most criminals are people that have made some wrong turns or fell in with the wrong people.... Not condensed evil.
Also it wouldn't be harder to get if it becomes normal for cops to use them. Hell as a corrupt cop I'd be giving these out like candy, much nicer having your car break than getting shot at.
Additionally if you don't live near the equator you can write outside during the winter. Typing on a phone sucks since you can't wear gloves.
Also a note about the hands... though you can write one handed you need the other hand to hold the pad or be sitting down. QWERTY takes two hands (phones) and you often need to be sitting (laptops/pcs). Touch screens are one hand only! Which is an advantage. (My phone has a pullout keyboard and a touchscreen, i type much faster in qwerty but i resort to the screen on buses or w/e)
As well writing is more flexible. You can add symbols, underline things and circle things. You can stick in a therefore symbol, have arrows pointing to parts. Italicize. Make up your own symbols. Super efficient shorthand. Math input. Diagrams. You may not need all of that but if you need any of it your speed will cut horribly on a phone...
All of this makes handwriting much more efficient for note taking.
"We have robots on Mars, which I would argue is far better than having human feet there."
No... Having humans there would be way fucking better since that would clearly be harder to do... But having robots is better than nothing. But yeah, NASA isn't totally incompetent, they are horribly over priced true. But they have no competition, no one to look to (aside from the secretive Russians), no body to take ideas from and they are getting stale. With all that I still think the main gimping factor is that NASA gets way too little funding given what its asked to do.
You picked those axioms. Other believers pick their own axioms:
1. God hates queers
2. I can keep slaves
3. Kill/Stone those who go against us
4. Godless people are akin to devils
5. Women are objects
6. I don't have to worry too much about doing bad things, so long as I ask forgiveness
7. Abortion is even worse than queers
And so on. Note that both sets of axioms can be taken from the bible. Because your beliefs come from the bible and therefore God himself you know with certainty that these are truth. You have no reason to question them and anyone that hold different beliefs is plain wrong. Can you see how this might cause problems?
Also if we were to give a certain list more weight it'd be the commandments I mean its friggen god giving orders pretty much. But if you go through that whole list and follow it absolutely there ends up being problems anyways.:/
Also it was a survey where you filled out Computer and video games... given that games was nearly as high as computers (i doubt console use is that high), I think there was unintentional overlap there as well.
Lithium batteries are recyclable.... Also I imagine it'll force you to land before it runs out, unless you mean the batteries falling out of the vehicle or something.... Then yeah that'd be a problem.
Work....:/ I think if I had a personal flying machine like this I think it'd be my personal duty to watch over the city and fight crime from the skies.
It only sorta says that... I mean it does but it says what the flight ceiling is in the same line, obviously they meant they don't succumb to oxygen starvation like regular choppers/planes. Which they say later in the paragraph....
I don't think this was a scientific error or reporting error but rather an English error.

Because credit card companies are trust worthy right?... I wish online bank payments were the norm... fuck credit cards. And fuck paypal.

Onstar is hackable, and you can shut off cars untraceably from the comfort of your mom's basement.

Not when you count britain and australia :p

Nah its a bunch of people whining about search results including /. posts.
I though it was ... "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you can't, can't fool me again."
If you do go with MS' cobbler then google does out of biz and you get your just desserts?
Also it was a survey where you filled out Computer and video games... given that games was nearly as high as computers (i doubt console use is that high), I think there was unintentional overlap there as well.
Each man... each.
:/ Does that make Canada the 52nd? ... lame that we are moving down the list.... Ah well Australia is still below us at 53rd.
Don't fly it that high? ... I know everyone on /. thinks they are ironman or something but seriously it probably isn't a good idea.
Lithium batteries are recyclable.... Also I imagine it'll force you to land before it runs out, unless you mean the batteries falling out of the vehicle or something.... Then yeah that'd be a problem.
