this is the kind of anti-black, anti-muslim racist drivel that serves as the engine for the interventions and depositions that create the vacuum that groups like ISIS fill because we've eliminated their moderate (but still "scary") opposition.
congratulations, you support ISIS/IS/ISIL.
Birds are not so much the concern these days, its migratory bats. Bats that move across the southern border are keystone species for pollination of many different plants, including agave, which is obviously the cornerstone of the tequila market. more windfarms == less tequila.
Also, the way the bats are killed is pretty gruesome. They dont get chopped up, rather the rapid air pressure change from outside a windfarm to within it causes their fragile lungs to explode.

This is how I've resolved this question to myself every time someone brings this question up. If scientists who believe and scientists who do not can get closer to agreement on, for example, the way our neurons operate than "P" or "-P", I'm comfortable choosing to believe what I read in Science than The Book.
No matter how much you like it, don't try to convince those not emotionally attached to it that NOLA is of a piece.
The slums add no charm nor endearing culture. There is no logistic necessity for ANY of the parts below sea level, they are a result of bad planning or no planning.
This smacks of latent racism and blaming the victim. Poor, black residents of new orleans have functionally no control over the elevation of their homes. To indicate that these peoples homes are somehow entirely devoid of value is the same kind of logic that justifies forced relocation of oppressed people anywhere anytime in history. you say that its a free country and all those living in the projects can simply move, but the same argument was made by fools after katrina: "those who lost everything in the hurricane should have simply packed up and left, they had 4 days warning." that probably requires the kind of capital and means of travel often shared by those communities, not individually owned and operated.
i think that if you want to analyse the relative importance of parts of the oldest and most historic cities in the united states, you should consider that living in and maintaining that historicity is not simply a privilege but a civic duty to the living memory of the united states im sure you hold so near and dear to your heart.
OTOH, i think it would be pretty baller to live on a floating city, so...
About portage: except for recent kde-3.5 fiascos, portage has been pretty damn stable since I installed in early 08.
Admittedly, it may well be that things have changed significantly. My Gentoo experience was in 2004-06 - I've seen the 2.4->2.6 kernel transition, the adoption of udev and hal, and other similar "let's break it and make it anew, with blackjack and hookers" kind of fun
this.
my experience with gentoo ran from 2003 -> 2005 or 2k6 and while it was good fun, making the transition to fedora was the greatest improvement to my productivity using linux.
I think that being 'closer to the hardware' to learn was significant in my early linux days, I prefer being a little 'further from the hardware' now that i have 'real' work to do.
OSS is designed by people who want to design software, not by people who want their software to be widely used.
Wow.
Thats a distressingly narrow view of the nature and intent of FOSS.
I mean, really, firefox is for developers only? open office is for developers only?
I wouldn't be shocked if sometime in the next 24 months google bought out another enterprise search developer to make it work. Ive tried pointing that shiny black box at so many projects in the last 12 months, and it has never worked well. I think their world-famous, multi-billion-dollar search algorithm doesnt perform so hot with !www resources.
I just dont think there's any way they would sell. Not after that embarrassing, highly publicized, chair-throwing, im-going-to-fucking-kill-eric-schmidt moment.
This is a remarkably well put together decision. It takes into account the security concerns that could arise from allowing folks to study the db schema (including but not limited to the files being leaked to the public).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying Plaintiff's request for.... every file with the extension of gbf or mdb. Such denial is without prejudice to the Plaintiff to re-urge the record request after address[ing].... the security concerns raised.
Im not sure if they can, given the atmosphere of lame duck surrounding the administration right now. Approval ratings in the 30s and a hellacious economy going into the xmas season, it would seem like a battle not worth fighting... for right now at least.
But then again, the likelihood that any action will be taken before the end of the administration seems slim; I can see them just playing out the clock for 417 days...
No, They're not.

Not sure how this would play out, in that an encryption key/password is put to "paper" when you utilize it.
