Keep in mind with no viable storage method, we are basically asking the utilities to keep the same number of power plants open...in case of clouds...while getting a massive drop off in income.

What fraction of a bill currently is the plant and lines and personnel vs. coal or gas or oil?

I expect "game engine" demos to look the same as gameplay -- rendered cutscenes have been done with the game engine for years now, rather than playing pre-renderred video clips.

Procrastination isn't necessarily part of ADD (if it is at all.)

Procrastinators tend to see the entire job all at once, see it is a shitload of work, and just say fuck it.

Break it down into smaller chunks and do just one, and it's easier.

I know, fucking politicians!

It isn't just Google or Bing that does this.

Initiate countdown, T -60 years to "Oh my god, we're pulling too much CO2 out of the atmosphere! Plants are having a tough time growing! And it's getting too cold -- people are skating on the canals of Amsterdam again!"

A sarcasm or a prediction? You decide.

Commander Data: "AAA game? Ahhh, high-profile franchise game. A blockbuster. Star Wars: The Old Republic. DC Universe Online. The new Tomb Raider. Lord of the Rings Online. The Elder Scrolls Online. Guild Wars..."

Captain Picard: "Data, stop."

Data: "2."

A test, for you, and only you: Do you steal songs by downloading them illegally?

Security was decentralized on 9/11. After 9/11, the security was centralized, i.e. taken from airlines and private companies, to the federal government. Congress had to be seen doing something.

Had this been the state on 9/11, it would have been decentralized. Dilbert covered this management back and forth flip flop fraud in a more generic sense even earlier.

Damn. This attack required simultaneously balls and a lack of balls, ping pong.

"The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason."

We know the reason -- because Khloe wanted her ass to look like Kim's.

"Mr. President, we cannot allow an air gap gap!"

"the Spanish government passed a law that set extreme fines for protesters convening outside of government buildings. In response to the controversial Citizen Safety Law"

If anyone wonders why the Founding Fathers wrote in absolutist terms in the First Amendment, this is why.

They knew charismatic demagoguery and outright sophistry were easy tools to use to override rights.

"Congress shall make no law...abridging the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Astounding this is modded troll, but the GP is modded insightful, when the exact opposite is the case. People commit crimes, not corporations. Throw people in jail. And dragging corporations into a discussion of basic civil rigts shows trollish (and boorish) behavior.

Really.

Compared to what? Around here, it would hide any posts that said anything bad about Linux.

For that matter, much humor and mockery is funny but would also count as trolling, like teasing nerdage about female issue.
