My question is why paranoid parents opinions of their children is considered more valid than a head of medicine's. They are biased first off, and ignorant on the subject matter. Seems pretty silly, especially with the "Dr." jab.
That's fine. But misrepresenting themselves (re. lying) to look innocent is pretty shameful and I have no qualms calling them on that. And Europe has increased prices on pretty much anything electronic, something the free market hasn't solved. So they don't have a huge variety of choice. Sort of like the companies have the right to do w/e they want, and I have the right to moan and whine about it.
This could result in the merging of a lot of things and much saved pain in porting for programmers. Windows sidebars/gadgets, iGoogle gadgets and phone aps all supporting the same format? That would be genius. You could have the same todo list and clock and w/e anywhere you go. All this has lots of lovely standards and with a little effort all phones could implement them. The merging of markets would be a GREAT thing for aps because the quality (of the best) would rise dramatically. It would also allow for a much more consistent user experience.
Oh but companies hate this kind of disgusting working together. Oh well.
Nerds will download their own browser possibly as the only thing they ever do on IE.
Most regular people will buy from Dell or some such and never ever see this ballot screen anyways. So how does this help?? I think if they wanted to change what software came with computers they should go to the prefab guys and ban windows taxing. Maybe force them to throw in a ubuntu, FF and openoffice radio button. Seems like it would have way more of an effect than this ever would.
That said, windows has balls almost spitting in the eu rulings face by having warnings popup when you install other browsers, kind of amazing.
I wonder how much operating costs would be. Is the internet is the wireless net in Britain really a lot more expensive? They do realize that shipping a product online has the same operating costs anywhere on the earth... since you can do it from anywhere in the Earth. The whole thing is total BS.
I think the real reason is, Europeans are used to taking it in the ass from electronics industries why not do that too? Yay +40% on anything that includes a chip for no reason... apparently on files now too.
My day to day life more closely resembles WoW than the sims or GTA. I've never pissed in the hall or refused to go inside and slept outside because the bed is at a bad angle. And I have yet to jump off a 40 story building a few hundred times to see if i can land on a hooker.
But I can relate to WoW, I spend much of my time crunching numbers, working with spreadsheets arguing about calculations. I have a real personal hatred towards gnomes. And I hold as much contempt for the stupidity of people in WoW as I do irl. Though irl I do find myself hoping they raise the cap before I hit 80... Plus wow is helpful for life lessons, I bet the sims won't teach you how to save people from a rampaging moose.

If you have ever hung out with stoners EVERYTHING is a tool to make a bong. Buckets, bottles, cans of course... sticks, instruments, construction materials... fruits, blocks of ice, live plants, shoes, gas masks, handguns. I'm not sure there is anything I can think of that you couldn't make a bong out of... that is solid anyways.
You are forgetting the first rule of being a college student. Nothing free is EVER bad. If someone offers you free pizza and its 3days old.. well that's pretty nasty but its FREE you can't turn that down. I thought all the linux geeks on here would get this rule too.
I really need to cut back on the sarcasm online. I thought the award was hilarious. This is the first explanation I thought of. The more reasonable one would be that they are doing this in hope rather than any other reason. They even said they wanted to give it to someone who could really be a power for peace. And that's true. Much like them giving it to yaser arafat in hopes that he would be an end to all of the shit going on then, and that didnt really pan out either. But the peace prize is there to encourage peace, I don't know why that means it has to be used in a post deed format.
Though I do think GP is a bit of a dick for wishing millions die so he can say toldya so, I'd much prefer the award turn out to be genius and find the world united singing kumbahya by the end of obama's term. I very much doubt this will happen.
Wow its WORLD peace I didn't say I wanted your sovereignty god. And yes the world would get along better if the superpower has a leader that 90% of the world doesn't hate. Seems like common sense.
Wouldn't a shitty ap like that get rejected since it doesn't do fuck all? Plus they'll prolly get charged or lose their account if they are forcing apple to check aps that are obviously BS.
Lolllll to get 1/4 mile range and enough bandwidth for the area you need something that we can stuff into the already existing switch boxes for neighborhoods. There would be 0 effect. WTF do we need huge towers for if they only need a quarter mile range? Hell my N class home router can almost do that and it cost 50$ and is about 8x10x3cm. And the wiring is already all there. Ok ok my router does more like 50m instead of 400. But still I'm sure this is doable either way. 10x the range isn't crazy for signals.
Cool pics though, the 2nd one looks like Japan. They run tons of wires and do it all on posts rather than underground, that's why they can upgrade their infrastructure so easily.
Yaser Arafat was given it with the idea that their encouragement could help him turn a new leaf. It looked like he might have... he didn't really but that was the plan.
And talking while it may sound novel is actually a great way to bring people together. Bush made the war aside from Australia... and Israel hate America way worse than they did before. He waged two wars killing millions. You know what nevermind this.
Had Obama not won, Palin could have become president. Palin was near declaring war on Russia during the election process. By that win Obama saved the world from possibly vicious nuclear war. I think Obama is being awarded this simply because he kept the neo-cons out of power and the world is happy for that. Remember, if we took a world poll it would be surprising to have McCain come up over 10%.
I bet it'll be cost efficient when we start running out of spectrum. And yeah I agree it be expensive but much of the last mile is already in place all the infrastructure is there they just need to stick in wireless routers. The last 1/4 mile is a lot of the cost as well, wires to the houses and this would be dropped. Wire was put in before wireless existed. And wireless has been steadily increasing bandwidth. Also the demand for wireless is increasing at a pretty insane price, that demand will make it a necessity to do this.
Well, wireless I believe is fairly unavoidable. It is the way of the future. People will start having laptops and cellphones and e-book readers and wearable data w/e crap. And they will expect it to work full speed sending tons of data no problem. This could be a solution to that.
I think perhaps a cell 'tower' in ISP boxes could work (doing the last mile wirelessly), In my area I believe I share a box with about 4city residential blocks. It is something the ISPs already own and maintain, it has access and enough power. Doesn't even seem that horribly difficult to roll out.
Of course that is the case but I would do so with radically less power. Instead of ramping a tower up to have a strong signal for 30miles maybe a 1/4mile. While there of course would be more interference it would be manageable. Compared to a hub... instead of having a few giant ass routers I suggest having hundreds of tiny hubs which would reduce the collision issue. Not the perfect analogy but I hope you get my drift.
Have cell towers and data towers be much much closer together. Then have them all be short range. And transfer the data over cables. Done, If we make 30x as many towers (these would all be tiny cheap places compared to current towers) and made more fiber hookups... Then the problem is solved without anything particularly genius. We can probably keep doing this for quite some time before it becomes a major issue.
I heard that relatively small colliders were likely going to pass the LHC's top energy using a waveform collapsing technique. Or did that turn out to be bogus?
Dilithium is actually a gas. I believe if we compressed it enough into a solid it is possible it could form a crystalline structure. But this clearly wouldn't be stable and you couldn't pass it around in bars.
We have graphs going back 5million years. The satellite temperatures are just super accurate. Also the GP made a comment about specifically the last 10years. I was responding to that. I wouldn't make use of just this graph trying to prove global warming trends generally. Good job attacking something unrelated fallacious bastard.
A super volcano has a massive cooling effect, they throw up a ton, many tons of sediment and global cooling gasses into the atmosphere this basically shadows the earth and cools the earth, krakatoa is a good example. Next when volcanoes produce a lot of co2 they do not produce more than mankind does and they don't produce a lot of other greenhouse gasses we do. We make 120x the CO2 vs all the volcanoes (including underwater). http://environment.about.com/od/greenhouseeffect/a/volcano-gas.htm
Egotistical? Hell I bet if we set our minds to it mankind could cut down every tree on the planet in a half dozen years. We've wrapped the planet in wires. Built cities so wide spread that at night (on the dark side..) when you look at the planet from space you clearly see lights across the whole damn thing. We could easily extinct almost any animal we choose in a year. Saying humans can't have an impact because the world is so big is very 1800s of you but I assure you it isn't still true.
Propaganda? When is the last time 1000s of scientists got together and lied? Hell pretty much ALL scientists (over 95%) in agreement. NEVER.

Responding only cause you got modded up
Of course they considered it, the ice records to which you refer were constructed by climatologists. I mean... it was their idea.
The evidence doesn't show that, it shows temperature increases out pacing co2 but the co2 increases first according to ice cores. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/63/Co2-temperature-plot.svg
Calling it a psuedoscience is just name calling.
