I'm not convinced that's the right question. whether it is man-made or just natural climate cycles, it still looks like it's on track to fuck shit up and cause major problems for us in the future (seas rising and all that jazz).
the real question is can we do anything to stop it.
if reading things in cursive was beneficial, we'd all be using cursive fonts all over the place on computers. I dont think I've seen anyone use a cursive font on a computer that made things better in any way ever, so I can only conclude that reading cursive sucks compared to a nice clean (preferably san serif) font.
now there's the personal preference aspect, that you may prefer to hand write something; but having established that reading cursive is inferior to pretty much any decent font, you're not doing anyone any favors by opting to handwrite things.
in short, good riddance.
Ares2 was overzealous in attempting to block ads
bullshit. Ares2 was doing what he's supposed to do, blocking ads. people use adblock because they dont want to see ads. the slimebag running noscript was being a cocksucker trying to subvert the users of adblock's wishes so they'd see his ads and he'd make money from the ridiculous number of do-nothing updates he releases that send users to his site. if users wanted to make an exception for noscript's ads for whatever reason, they'd do it themselves. that is not noscript's decision to make.
this doesnt really affect me since I dont use noscript, because when I did it just found it to be nagware. it seemed like everytime I restarted firefox it was updating and sending me to their site, but this latest behavior from the developer doesnt surprise me in the least
Ever since halogen incandescent bulbs were invented, about a hundred years ago. These are twice as efficient as ordinary incandescents, and run at higher temperatures to boot. Heck, they do an okay job of offsetting your heating bill, in the winter.
I cant stand halogen lighting for this very reason; I'm quite sensitive to the heat they produce. other people dont even seem to notice, but I feel the heat from even the small downlight ones. my parents redid their house with halogen downlights; maybe if they were somewhere cold I would appreciate it, but where they live is on average 30-35C so halogen bulbs just meant I would rather sit in the dark and than have the lights on. if you want heat, I'm sure a ceramic heater would be more efficient than halogen bulbs anyway
The scarcity of lower-priced tracks may reflect the fact that the labels themselves decide which price tier they want to pursue for a given artist; and they are mostly ignoring the lower tier.
that's ok, I'm just gonna "mostly ignore" the legal alternatives to bittorrent
Personally, I choose the best work, not the "native" language.
how do you judge that without having already played through them in all languages?
