If we had a one degree annual increase for any length of time we'd all be dead pretty fast... I guess this is a troll but still I see people that really believe that a few degrees don't matter. It is hard to tell if people are trolling you or not when your opposition is so incredibly dumb.
Interesting that we only have climate data going back 200~500years yet I have a picture showing it go back 5million years. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/Five_Myr_Climate_Change.png Damn science, able to figure things out without people actually being there and measuring it at the time. Who knew that paleoclimatology was a whole science. Troll:/
That is just changed to down = outwards, right = counter-clockwise (starting from the bottom center). But they didn't show the 'staircase' and their colouring scheme is completely useless providing no additional information. So it is shittier than the standard periodic table and provides no new information. I think one thing we COULD do is use an ap like Seadragon to include much more information in the table. Obviously only doable with computers of course.
Anyways the one linked is terribad. I'm sure we can do much much better representing a bunch of data at once. This is missing all kinds of info that is available on a modern periodic table.
Parts of Uranus the Magician are quoted in star wars epVI. As well I heard that Star Wars originally hoped to use gustav holst's the planets but it was changed for some reason. I do know that they used some of the planets music early on before john williams made the track.
Oh I agree. And that is fine. But GP made it sound like Apple is superior by ignoring a sector of the populace. It is very elitist. And making eletist statements bugs me.
Like saying Honda can't make good track cars because they made the Fit which does 0-60 in 12seconds. Their selling a slow car has NOTHING to do with a race car. And clearly not true since they are competitive in formula one. (Yes I did have to work a bit to think of a car analogy).
I think this will actually result in an interesting curve in the quality levels. The boring pointless parts will be at a glance boring and pointless. With the cool parts that would suck to see badly done all... done well. A "worst of" version sounds like it could end up kind of painful. I think multiple ratings for funny or well done, high quality... could produce a variety of movies though.
Not cool to reply to myself and all but. Going to the site it appears you can do w/e part you want, I'm not sure how they'll pick which one to use for the final product. Totally not how I read the summary or the other comments. Since it is open I bet people will remix their own or indeed make it random. Yay~
I think passing this off to a team of really good video editors and special effects people when its completed would be a neat idea. But people already did their own special effects in the clips which doesn't help. I suppose they could try asking for the raw clips but people won't all have them.
The kid's a pussy, apparently he/parents sued everything and anyone that had anything to do with that video and he's been scarred by the horrific experience. I'd cut in the original star wars kid clip but again... sued into oblivion seems risky for a non profit joke movie.
If they let people do any part they wanted.... They could with a little bit of programming have it pick a random 15second clip of what is available for the time slot. It would be a bit different each time. Or people could vote on the best rendition for each time slot to improve the thing.
In any case it is a pretty cool project. And the first 'Open Source' over the internet fan made movie I've heard of. I've been in fan made anime dubs before but that was mostly to horrify anyone that downloaded it to the point of tears.
Sure, if the two and three were switched it would be a statistical problem. But this just shows there is a really big difference. The comparison could be more interesting...
I'm sure you are perfectly representative of the average American. I bet you are also thin and well read. And know how to program. Just like everybody else.
The more money you have to spend on a mac the more money you have to buy multiple computers? ~____~ Connection seemed obvious to me.
Or simply after getting a PC people are more likely to attempt a mac? Or mac users decide to try a windows box. I guess boot camp will be cutting into the mac->windows purchases as of late mind you. Since you can try the windows experience without a new computer.
Btw, Computer savvy people may use macs... But techies use windows or linux often both. Why would we spend extra money to have a closed source semi broken non configurable standard hating version of linux? Mostly windows/nix are more tweakable and have more tools/toys for us to use which makes them our targets. And mods, feel free to just read the first part of my post if you are a fanboi.
There have been studies on how far people travel daily/weekly/monthly. To do so, the study used thousands of people's locations based on cellphones. The participants of the study were fully unaware that they were being tracked for months. At least this one isn't scary...
Bloggers could soak up multiple 11k hits? Uhhh I was under the perception that blaggers made no money but occasionally whore themselves out for free shit.
Oh ignorance has never been a defense. We are expected to obey tens of thousands of laws, are it would be totally unreasonable for us to know all of them. The idea is that laws are supposed to be somewhat reasonable, NOT that be are supposed to know or god forbid understand them. Scary as the idea may sound... You are expected to follow the law and not expected to know it. If you want to change that then you truly want to change how law works in its entirety. It would be as fundamental a change as removing the senate. Good luck~
Well, most of the confusion in your example is from age, lots of those terms were developed hundreds of years ago and have limited use outside of law. Is it really surprising that any sufficiently complex field has jargon?
"The CDC 6600 had a load-store architecture with only two addressing modes (register+register, and register+immediate constant) and 74 opcodes (whereas an Intel 8086 has 400). The 6600 had eleven pipelined functional units for arithmetic and logic, plus five load units and two store units; the memory had multiple banks so all load-store units could operate at the same time."
"There are three possible fundamental approaches towards Davydov model:[6][8] (i) the quantum theory, in which both the amide I vibration (excitons) and the lattice site motion (phonons) are treated quantum mechanically; (ii) the mixed quantum-classical theory, in which the amide I vibration is treated quantum mechanically but the lattice is classical; and (iii) the classical theory, in which both the amide I and the lattice motions are treated classically."
I'm sure I could come up with more examples. Like I said a cole's notes version would be valuable but simplifying the actual law would make things worse in many cases. I gave a break down of why laws are complicated in another post some place. I understand the frustration. Also, this is a reason that we do not have a direct democracy. Laws aren't written with the goal of everyday people actually reading them. If you tried to actively learn the law just to avoid breaking it you would die an old man long before you came close to completing your task. Lawyers spend their lives in the profession and have to specialize because it would be impossible to learn it all. You simply have to find a news source or lawyer blogger or info source that you trust to disseminate the law to you. While this sucks and requires trust we already have to do this for tons of things. I doubt you manually research and verify everything that you hear.
The patriot act WAS written to be more confusing on purpose. It was a tool used to steal civil liberties from the US citizenry. Perhaps your complaint is towards broad bills and statutes. I believe while the Patriot act was criminal the thing without the deceit might have been shortened to 250pages. Still far too much dense material for a fraction of the populace to read probably still only a few reps. Again, citizens aren't expected to read up on the laws to follow them, it would be impossible.
I don't know why I'm feeding your strawman (though you are a bit right wing for my taste I didn't think you were particularly fallacious) but... my father is a lawyer. BTW, he hates lawyer mumbo jumbo too but outright simplifying the law causes more problems than it solves.
I like when sometimes they have two spots where they interrogate you with the same questions or similar ones. And if your story doesn't line up they freak out. Plane ones they treat you like super villians. Bus ones are interesting they treat you like refugees or cocaine dealers. Why would I be attempting as a Canadian citizen to escape to the states because I'm poor? That makes no sense at all.

Nope there has been a warming trend. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Satellite_Temperatures.png But don't let satellite imaging fool you I'm sure the devil is playing tricks on our billion dollar incredibly accurate satellites. And I hardly see any correlation between those three lines.

Wouldn't that make them good at this?

Lol you could put them REALLY out of order in any useful sense by arranging them by size.

And I thought suing anything dead or alive was a solely American tradition...

Well, that and the money. And the standards ... and the loss of function because it has been deemed from on high. And windows apps without bootcamp...
