What are your thoughts about the environmental impact of using polaroid film?
Not only the chemicals used in making the film, but also the plastic holder for the film etc. Is there any way to make it more environmentally friendly?
Well, it might have happened before. But it is true (from personal experience by me and other people here) that it got a lot harder to use gmail without proxy/vpn the past 2-3 weeks.
>A national firewall is clearly not going to block popular cloud storage providers.
eh, actually, I just noticed China seems to be blocking dropbox now....
Taken out of context, yes. But scientist do not really need to be pro or against global change to get funding (I speak from experience here). You just write a grant, in which you claim you will solve the key questions.
And anyway, in general, your resulting paper can usually be free of any possible unfunded claims you made in the grant proposal (contrary perhaps to public perception, non-private grant agencies nearly never make any attempts to get you to change your conclusions, and this is unfortunately sometimes worse with private funded research. Now guess where we find most research that rejects climate change....)
I do not go second guessing my doctors desisions, please also trust your local climate scientist a bit. There should be checks and balances, but that has nothing to do with the current witch-hunt like attitude of some people.
Ok, there is a lot of misconceptions here about the obsoleteness of nv.
The nouveau driver is based on 2 main information sources: 1) studying what the nvidia driver does, and 2) deobfuscating things the nv driver does.
The last thing has been very helpful in getting the newer cards to do modesetting for example. Usually nouveau could bring the card up just a few days after some quirck was added to nv to bring up the screen. Now, this info source is dropped. Reading mmiotraces from the blob can tell you similar things, but are a lot more difficult to make sense of and only 2-3 people can do this currently.
This will affect nouveau development, and may actually be a move by NVIDIA to hinder nouveau development (pure speculation this).
The network at my parents home is "Mirkwood" with an old desktop called "Bilbo" and a laptop "Frodo".
The printer is of course "Sting".
I doubt my parents will ever understand, since they never read the books and even fell asleep watching the movie:O
I don't have time to argue about some points. But:
"A high enough mutation rate, and a new mutation overwrites the last one before the first had time to be tested."
Do you have any idea what kind of mutation rate this would require? Eating plutonium sausage for breakfast wouldn't give you enough mutations to have a decent change of having 2 mutations that would cancel eachoter out. It's bullshit.
Second point is that if what you say is true, why do bacteria evolve faster than humans. Or are you arguing they do not?
