You can get a used i3 Win7 box that would chew up the chromebook for breakfast for about $200. I bought a used i7 laptop for $560. Computers are cheap, and Chromebooks make no sense. You get a slow computer with a defective by design OS for $200+. You might as well get a real computer with a defective by design OS for $200+...

FUCK YOU.

No one in Canada with any sense watches netflix.ca. Everyone runs a proxy and watches netflix.com, because the selection on netflix.ca blows chunks.

A communist spy? For what Communist government? North Korea? Cuba? You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Given the context of your post, I would think you're just another stupid troll, only one so stupid you actually use your name in a forum such as this, which, when combined with your imbicilic ranting, makes you more of an idiot than a troll.

FUCK YOU.

and put a vacuum in it?

So, you have condemned the human race and much of the biosphere to extinction. Billions dead today vs. everyone and everything dead in 1000 years. As I said - this is where priorities become plain.

How about we just stop dumping CO2 into the atmosphere and see how that goes? If not, why not? Then the real priorities are revealed.

Fuck You.

We call them COURSES.

based on Energy Return on Energy Invested. Our civilisation is doing a fantastically poor job of switching away from fossil fuel.

Fuck You.

Why is everyone so uncomfortable with the idea that something can be lost forever? How is that a problem? I'm perfectly sanguine with the idea that information can be lost or irretrievable. I'm perfectly sanguine with the idea that the universe will die of heat death. I'm also down with the idea that the Big Rip will swallow everything up in several billion years - talk about information loss... It just strikes me as fatuous and arrogant that humans think the universe has to work a certain rational, logical, way - like the universe gives a shit one way or the other.

Um, no. We're not going to the moon or anywhere like it. The economy will likely collapse again before the end of the decade. There won't be the money or the resources. Sending robotic missions makes more sense. Sending people is a dumb idea. We evolved to live here. We are expensive to travel and hard to settle. Machines are constructed to do certain things in certain environments. They are more capable than humans in that regard. Send them to get fried by coronal mass ejections.

No shit. I would have put it more like this:

"different approach to international diplomacy"

in other words: Ain't Gonna Happen.
