I think Islay malts used smoked peat, so at least some burning is needed.
Sequestered carbon being ADDED to the atmosphere is the issue - coal, oil, gas, peat.
Wait a minute...If saving the planet means no more peat then fuck the planet and pour me some Islay whisky.
MDSOLAR why do you post links from that biased site every time climate comes up? Do you work for them? Post from respectable sources.
Wikipedia says it will be 75 degrees (F) and sunny for the rest of time! [citation needed]
Climate has always changed, the concept of "Damage" is only relevant to those affected by it.
You mean, the same way as asteroids of various sizes have impacted into the Earth throughout the history of the planet, and "Damage" is only relevant to those affected by it?
Yes, I agree.
Sure, why not? And it is only "damage" to the species that die out. Think of all the evolutionary opportunity there will be in the Next Phase!
I suppose nationalism will be the last religion to die.
Nationalism is practiced as much in Europe, if not more. In the U.S. we think Europe and other languages and such is cool, even if on the outside we're all "BALD EAGLES AND SHIT!!!" (https://www.facebook.com/theoatmeal/photos/a.10150413121115078.628758.220779885077/10154378963025078/?type=1&theater). In Europe, each country thinks their's is the shit that stinks the least. True, we've possibly worn out the "You're welcome regarding that thing we did to keep you all from speaking German...Twice" badge, but seriously, if you are European then you're welcome.
CERN isn't filled with scientists, it's filled with retards that can't think of a better way to probe the universe than to smash stuff and see how it breaks apart. It's the physics equivalent of a "doctor" trying to model the inside of the nose throat and lungs by looking at the pattern produced when someone sneezes. It's tard-science, plain and simple.
Alright, I'll bite: How would you do it, then?
That's obvious: Just ask God.
The problem isn't people coming here on H1-Bs, but their difficulty in turn that into a green card. The "apprentices" would mostly stay here if they could. And does anyone really want to argue that immigration of well-educated, highly-skilled engineers is bad for America?
All the focus on the political immigration debate seems to be on low-skilled workers, and the answers aren't so easy there. But anyone who can come here and work a job that pays $100k+? Keep em coming, I say.
I work for a company that had at least three if not four H1-B workers (as programmers), and other than paperwork and a couple grand for the lawyer getting a green card was not a problem for them. That's an admittedly small sample size. What roadblocks have you seen?
Non-hispanic whites are 64% of the US population, but only 57% of Facebook's employee base. White people are under-represented.
Or not. I'm sorry, I don't trust kick starter campaigns.
Right? I gave Toad the Wet Sprocket $50 for their new record. Then it arrived as double LP with four bonus tracks! If I wanted bonus tracks I would asked for freakin' bonus tracks! And don't get me started about that photo essay book I bought into. It was so good I almost cried. If I want to feel stuff I'll give to an Indiegogo campaign!
Microsoft can and should be a huge driver for innovation in the industry.
Google (via Chrome) and earlier Mozilla (via FF) are the driver for Microsoft to innovate, since without that outside pressure we would still be using IE6. Maybe the Dev Channel is the start of Microsoft spinning off (well, not actually "off") innovation groups that aren't encumbered by the 800 pound corporate gorilla?
'In August of last year, a Microsoft spokesman confirmed that the Xbox One controller will be compatible for PC users sometime in 2014. That time has finally come. Windows gamers can now use the Xbox One controller to play games on their computer. If a game supports a USB gamepad or the Xbox 360 controller, it will also support the Xbox One controller.'
That is interesting given that my brother and my cousin - both big into gaming - use PC-style controls with their Xbox because they feel it gives them an edge over users of the Xbox controller.
...communication with the satellite?
*The satellite that serves a given area.
yeah, where everyone is in a few insurance groups and gets the same basic benefits
obamacare has variable pricing based on history, finances, where you live, etc. lots of business rules to properly price the policy
Actually, no. We can program a high amount of variability in pricing and eligibility based on whatever data is required. And we own a private exchange, so we do that, too. Also, we can implement such a project in 6 months, sometimes less, including the entire reporting requirement.
