White roofs? Really? That's the closest you could get to insulation? You've got a long way to troll before you troll, troll.

With a little more insulation than usual, you can do that pretty much anywhere in the USA. Oddly, California has higher standards for insulation than pretty much anywhere in the USA. We would very much like the rest of you to catch up sometime.

Right, just the majority of available coal. We've used up the most convenient deposits of it, just like everything else.

Which suggests the question, is that actually that wonderful? Also, whether it's being collected. Maybe in Germany. Not in the USA or China, though.

...make poisonous drywall out of it, as they have done in China?

Assuming you believe those figures.

You can mostly thank our massive population. There are more people living in and around Los Angeles alone than the population of at least half the states in the nation — probably far more if you count illegals correctly, something the census can never possibly accomplish.

Indeed, California is 49th in per capita energy use, no doubt due in large part to having the largest population in the nation.

Right, the government said so, so don't worry, taxpayer!

You just cited a document that relies on arguments like " Radioactive elements in coal and fly ash should not be sources of alarm. The vast majority of coal and the majority of fly ash are not significantly enriched in radioactive elements, or in associated radioactivity, compared to common soils or rocks." That's nice. We're not burning common soils or rocks and dispersing them into the atmosphere. The whole fucking article is like that, and you are a useful idiot at best.

If it also replaces chromecast by accepting screencasts from Android devices, then I'm in. I was going to buy a Razer Forge, but that was supposed to be out already and it isn't, so I guess Razer just sucks eggs like usual

A number of the kids from the Potter movies have actually gone on to get work, and meanwhile pretty much everyone else in both movies was famous before they were in either picture.

A bunch of creepy guys fell in love with her when she was a child, and she's riding on that. HTH, HAND.

It doesn't seem like you're particularly familiar with movies. Try watching a few and get back to us on how much talent you have to have in order to get a part. It's not based on talent.

Predicting the end of College isn't based on the high value of MOOCs so much as the low value of college. You can take your degree straight to McDonalds because there aren't jobs and/or they aren't hiring Americans.

In Germany, maybe not. In the USA and China, they certainly do.

There was nothing wrong with Trumpet Winsock for modem users. For 10b2 users, the official microsoft stack was adequate. TGV Multinet was a high-performance stack for Windows 3.x which was more than adequate. Sure, you had to have third party software, but there was nothing particularly hackish about it. At the time, you had to deal with equally hacky software to get SLIP (let alone PPP) connectivity on most platforms. Only Unix-based and Unixlikes seem to have come with TCP back then.

Warp cost more than Windows plus a TCP stack...

The killer feature of OS/2 was multitasking that worked. Problem was, nearly nobody had enough RAM to really take advantage of it.

The problem is, any time you use anything else, Chrome is only better if it's wide open. If you want to lock your browser down a bit, that's possible with Chrome, but it's not quite as secure and configuration is a bit more annoying.

So uh, don't watch NASCAR? Even they have two races per year (or so) worth watching... they turn in both directions.
