No. Having families is what happens when there's nothing better to do. That's why the population booms whenever there is a power outage. You want to reduce the population growth? Give everyone a TV, and internet access.

Yeah, that's what it says on the tin. In reality they just eat up a lane of traffic that could otherwise be used to alleviate rush hour congestion. It might be different if they actually ADDED HOV lanes instead of taking one of the normal lanes and rebranding it. After all, who's going to get into a car with a bunch of strangers, and not have a vehicle when they reach their destination?

Yes, it is what you said. I apologize. I saw your "Yes it does" in response to the statement that this tech "doesn't exactly solve the problem of greenhouse gas emissions" and went from there. I didn't read your post thoroughly enough.

We don't know if holding at the current CO2 levels solves the problem, or not. We may plug all the holes in the boat and still be too heavy to float. Besides, diesel is only one slice of the fossil fuel pie. Can this blue crude form gasoline? And what about replacing coal? We have a long way to go before we can consider the the holes in the boat plugged.

No CO2 is being sequestered anywhere with this process. It may stop the greenhouse gas production, but it does nothing to reduce what's already there. It's like plugging the hole in the boat. Sure, the water isn't coming in anymore, but you still have a hull full of water with nobody bailing.

So THAT's what they're fracking with!

It's a small scale test plant, not a full, industrial scale production plant.

It doesn't matter what temperature you run your reactor at. They're not putting the water and CO2 into the nuclear core. They're just using the electrical power generated by the reactor.

Splitting a statement between the first line and the subject is bad form.

By posting "I'm fine", they clearly were not "people in a disaster". However, they could have been a block or two away from the disaster and thought it important to let people know their status.

Who says you can't make money from things in the public domain? Where do you think symphony orchestras get their material?

Italicised colon followed by a period to make the "therefore" symbol... clever.

I do miss the "swim across the Atlantic" bit they used to have.

But I miss far more, the old Google Calculator. You used to be able to stuff like "circumference of earth in football fields", but now-a-days it's not much better than a four function calculator.

Monsanto to the rescue, I'm sure.

Your perspective is warped. If characters performing behaviour that would get you thrown in jail were the criterion for making a movie bad, then we can toss Pulp Fiction; Kill Bill; Ocean's Eleven; Batman; The Usual Suspects; The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly; practically every western, actually; every crime movie; every vigilante movie; every horror movie; and a whole slew of others right on the trash heap.

So what you're saying is that your altitude is zero most of the time. Well, there's two options that fit.
