What do waves and tides have to do with it? Why don't we start talking about deadly world pools and sea monsters?
No, it's just you that don't get plural forms (or have a sense of humor, apparently)
The Oxford Dictionary would disagree with you (too)
I didn't see BasilBrush mentioning the Oxford Dictionary in any of his posts, so I think it is you that are failing to comprehend (*snicker*) a comment thread.
It seems you have some trouble with nuances English, so let me enlighten you. Weather is a non-countable noun, like paper or water. So many instances of weather is still weather, and so, climate being many instances of weather, means that, in fact, climate is weather.
So you're calling out Oxford Dictionaries... Huh... *shrugs*
You can look up weather by different time periods. By the hour, the day, so why not the week, the month, the year, or even the century? As per the definition, there is no time period where weather ceases to be weather. Therefore climate is just weather over a longer period then we normally use, but that doesn't mean it is no longer weather.
Which is why climate is weather but weather isn't (always) climate.
climate
noun: climate; plural noun: climates
the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.
So, climate *is* weather.
Free Speech Zones? That's a new one
I didn't say oil is getting cheaper. I said it is cheaper, e.g., oil is cheaper with this technology than without it.
Your math is off. The cheaper oil is the more we rely on it as an energy source as opposed to less dirty alternatives.
There's actually over 100,000 characters according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... which would reduce the length to 8 characters.
While the threat of a 51% attack may be blown out of proportion (a pool sells their cut of the coins that are mined and it is in their best interest that the coin remain as valuable as possible - attacking a coin would be counterproductive)
Why don't we just let ghash.io own the "official" copy of the ledger, and do away with mining entirely, then? After all, according to you, it would be against ghash.io's best interest to do anything to harm the value of bitcoin...
The corruption of the taxi industry is humanities last hope.
In the future, when robots and AI has taken over every available job a human being could do, the one remaining bulwark that saves the human race from destruction will be the taxi lobby. At that time, the only job for a human will be a taxi driver, and we will drive around robots (other humans will not be able to afford it).
The best book on programming for the layman is "Alice in Wonderland"; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.
