    I have CDs in perfect condition from over 20 years ago. CDs outlast vinyl by any possible metric. Similar storage and care CDs *ALWAYS* last longer. Even better you can play CDs as often as you want. Vinyl, not so much. What are you vinyl heads smoking. Cus it is really strong shit.

  6. I think i found it via pub med. I can't find the magic words and there is a lot of work on this stuff. Either way evidence of neurological damage *caused* by sleep deprivation seems absent. While some neurological problems do however result in poor sleeping patterns often to the extreme detriment of the patient.

    And often recycling is *worse* for the environment. I don't know if this is, probably not for heavy metal reasons. But just assuming recycling is green is factually incorrect.

    And they only spent 100M recovering the said gold. Bargain and twice the price

    The Greeks viewed "parties" as a corruption of democracy. Of course they had plenty of corruption anyway. We call it representative democracy, i prefer the to call it limited term dictatorship. Once elected officials have no legal obligation to do anything in line with their election promises.

    Read the PGP story. It is a great read. The classified encryption as a munition for some time in order to try and control it. It didn't work. One workaround the export restriction was to print all the source code and post it overseas where it was scaned/OCR/typed. The rest of the world doesn't have restrictions on encryption (then or yet).

  11. LOL, also it means you can recover *more* data from the file than the original. It is like anti encryption.

    Why is your political system designed around campaign contributions? Why the hell do you think that is the deciding factor?

  13. What the fuck are you smoking. You need a lot more than 100C to convert carbonates to CO2 with heat. By the time much of the surface of eath is +150C we aren't going to be here. So in summary heat the earth somehow to crazy temperatures, cooking all life, and then we can get a runaway CO2 thing from carbonates.

  14. My argument? I posted a like to futurerama for fucks sake.

    You know most of the diet advice we get now is not based on any science either. A huge chunk of mainstream is made up. And even worse very few studies be honest with the statistics.

    Lies, Dam Lies and then there is Statistics.

    Fuck ethics. I want to watch a move. Hmm not on Netflix in my area? Oh look bittorrent is, thanks for playing.

    If Hollywood ran out of money and shut down tomorrow. The world would probably be a better place anyway. After all there are always lol cats on youtube :P.

  18. To end up live Venus we would need to import many times our entire atmosphere of pure CO2 from somewhere. Probably Venus. Honestly comparing global warming to Venus is about as useful as comparing our climate to the sun. They just don't have anything to do with each other.

    WTF? What is it about /. and magic brains. Our brains are not magic, they are not in tune with the force, they cannot see the future. Conciseness is not fucking magic. Computers already do better most of the time. In a very short time they will be better ALL OF THE TIME. Already they are better than any human in snow and rain. Humans are just to fucking arrogant to admit they can't see shit and stop driving. Causing accidents and killing each other.

  21. Real jails are torturous (unless you count male rape and just boys having fun or something). We all know it, and yet expect people to come out the other side "reformed".

  22. Err The DJ incident which i have read about, seems to have a different ending than that one i am familiar with. In fact it was cited in a journal once on how quickly we recover from such things and that there is no lasting damage. You have a cite for that?

  23. Yea cus people with the mental capacity of a toddler are so honest and reliable. Please. It has been show time again that these methods just don't work. They are carried out because there are a lot more sadist in the community than we like to admit. People like being arseholes.
