But even if it started out at 10 x the cost of NAND, a 150GB unit for my databases would definitely be worth it.
The sentence in the summary is a bit ambiguous certainly. CO2 is measured as an aspect of air quality in a specific location, not because it is a pollutant in itself. Or if you like, a sound is not necessarily noise, but put a lot of sounds together and you get noise pollution.
Nice try, but no. You're comparing the feel of apples to the smell of oranges.
In anything like a real-world outdoor scenario (see the other post on this page about Mexico City), CO2 levels aren't going to vary enough to have much of an affect on anything locally.
So lumping it together with "pollutants" that do makes no sense at all.
It is no more political reason then it would be political to measure the amount of rain that is falling.
Utter nonsense. Even if you assume that CO2 is a "pollutant" (and that's a pretty huge assumption not backed by actual science), it wouldn't have any effect locally unless large areas were covered with hundreds of thousands of PPM. And then it would be easy to tell, because -- the only serious local effect possible -- people and animals would be keeling over en masse.
Rain, on the other hand, has immediate and very local effects.
And as for
pouring into the atmosphere at a rate of more than 100x what nature produces
... man, go back to elementary school. That hasn't happened, isn't happening, and isn't going to happen.
You brought the "party politics" into a Snowden discussion, "bro." Nice projection.
Bullshit. I repeat: I was speaking of POLITICIANS, not of parties.
That's the third time I've said basically the same thing. Has it sunk in yet?
The only reason I used the word "butthurt" is because that's the way you've acted.
No, TFS has it correct. It's classified as "Commercial Spaceflight," and the Federal Government deliberately moved jurisdiction from NASA to the FAA.
It must have been relatively recent, then. Even so, I repeat that I doubt the "usual rules" apply here.
Having said that, FAA would seem the logical organization, given that its mandate is about interstate commerce.
Math and methodology only works if you know how and where to apply it. Not being an expert in any of the fields you are discussing, you wouldn't know.
That's hilarious. Data is data.
It doesn't matter where you apply your math or methodoloy, if you're doing them in an obviously incorrect way. A point which you keep seeming to miss. Scientists are not gods, they deal in the real world with real data just like so many others do.
Oh, the irony of you making that statement.
You don't seem to know what irony means either, Mr. Coward. Do you think I am not (or never have been) a scientist? On what do you base that assumption?
Creationists only have to know a couple of things to call out a good number of biologists. Anti-vaxxers only have to know a couple of things to call out a good number of medical scientists. Moon landing crackpots only have to know a couple of things to call out a good number of NASA scientists. 9/11 Truthers only have to know a couple of things to call out a good number of materials scientists. Obama Birthers only have to know a couple of things to call out a good number of forensic scientists, etc.
The Dunning-Kruger table has been rather turned. Have fun.
Since it has been clearly explained to you many times that I am not any of those things, no they're not.
The only logical way to put those statements together is that you claim I am those things. It's not just an implication, or your final sentence would make no sense.
But making potentially damaging false claims about people in public, when you know (or reasonably should) that they are not true, is called libel. You know that, too.
So no, the tables aren't turned. They're right where they were before you made that ridiculous libelous comment. If anything, you have locked the tables firmly in place. That was a real dumbass thing to do.
I have to wonder why you keep doing it.
You are a pathetic human being but whatever helps you sleep at night, bigot.
Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess, person-who-doesn't-know-bigotry-from-economics.
Thanks for taking a Snowden discussion off onto your tangent of "Hillary sucks!" Real helpful. Did you vote for George W, too?
I didn't bring politics into it. I was only talking about certain politicians. And I clearly stated Hillary wasn't the only one; I only used her as an example because she's an easy example.
So... usually I would tell you to take your questions about my votes elsewhere, but I don't mind saying: no, I did not vote for George Bush.
Now take your butthurt party politics and go away.
In this case, most of the blame appears to fall on the FAA.
I would expect that it's classified as some sort of "Experimental" vehicle at this point, for which the usual rules do not apply. So I doubt the FAA has much to do with it either.
Even so: given the known design of the craft, how could he possibly NOT know that unlocking the tail section prematurely was dangerous? I mean, seriously. "Oh, sure, let's just let it flap in the breeze at a few thousand miles per hour. No big deal."
Sheesh.
The big difference with all of the above is he does not accept the consequences of his actions.
No, that's a false statement. If he had any realistic expectation of being treated like a citizen rather than a terrorist, and get a real "trial by his peers", he wouldn't have had to go to Russia. (Remember: he didn't go there first, the U.S. chased him there.)
Realistic thinking says he has almost no chance of a real trial. He would be treated as a terrorist. Government has said so more than once.
So no, he's not hiding from his actions. He's hiding from ridiculous OVERREaction on the part of government. This is the reality:
He had no realistic means of coming forth with the information from within the United States.
He didn't want to go to Russia, and did not at first. That was a last resort.
Government has (yes, really) called him a terrorist and strongly indicated he would be treated as such.
So no. As long as government is being crooked and dishonest, he's not refusing to take responsibility for his actions. He's evading unconstitutionally harsh treatment from his own government.
So get a cheaper 4th Gen Core i whatever. Or go with an AMD APU or CPU and get a discrete GPU in the mean time.
I think you missed the point. GP expressed a wish for a 5-gen chip with more cores, and no graphics.
There's a lot to be said for that.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
