It ain't done till Lotus won't run.
I guess it's done.
Interestingly, I think you're right, Windows is done.

People said the same thing after Vista, though as far as I can see, Windows 8 is far worse for end users than Vista.
as he came over you could tell that everyone stiffened up and our attitudes changed. It changes how you respond to people's questions, how you act./quote
In other words people behaved the same way they would if it had been a video camera.
So if this were both widely deployed and effective it would just force these hypothetical dirty bomb enthusiasts to line the bomb container with lead. Lead which would become toxic shrapnel on detonation. The potential for many false positives has already been mentioned, but this system could be easily defeated by a thin lead lining. Lead lining has the further benefit of shielding a non-suicidal bomber from his own radiation.
That's easy, we just ban well shielded dirty bombs. *rimshot*
we do understand atmosphere, and yes that does make sense becasue it's trapping the heatr. OCntrary to what the media, tlaking heads, and ignorant politician tell you its a fact.
You don't have to understand every single fact of something for it to be true.
That would be akin to saying gravity isn't real.
We know, for a fact, we are increasing CO2.
we know, for a fact, that CO2 traps heat.
We know, for a fact, the heating is occurring in the lower parts of the atmosphere
We know, for a fact, that there is a trend happening on top of normal historic cycles.
Exactly. The point was, even if we didn't know all that, altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere is a mindbogglingly stupid thing to do.
It does feel good to have it stated though... a nice warm fuzzy feeling...
Regardless, we should focus on cutting pollution even if global warming is not man-made.
I wish this was more obvious to more people.
If there is no relationship between atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperatures then that means we have absolutely no idea how planetary ecosystems work at all.
If we don't understand our atmosphere does it make any sense to be modifying as a side effect of industrialization?
My only hope is we actually figure out how all this works and become environmentally neutral before it's too late.
Firefox just comes with the Social API, as with addon APIs, you have to install something, otherwise it's just potential.
There you go again, bringing logic and reason to an emotional argument. Won't somebody think of the delusional paranoids!
Consuming one alcoholic beverage does not make a person an unsafe driver, therefore making the limit so low that consuming one beverage is illegal is wrong.
I disagree.
I think we have proven that there is a point at which all people are "too drunk to drive", the only question is what is that limit.
I think that's it's high time we considers zero tolerance.
A single beer could put someone over
I realize that my own physical alcohol tolerance is quite low, and that one person does not constitute evidence, but that said:
If I consume any normal serving of alcohol, a pint of beer, a glass of wine, a shot of something stronger, I am probably not fit to drive immediately. I must consume food and plan any driving carefully. Can I have a beer at lunch with the guys? Yes, ONE... if it's more than one drink it's going to be a long "lunch".
Everyone is different, however the standard being bandied about is four drinks in an hour, even with food that leaves me incapable of driving safely. I have observed myself and others in these scenarios and as a result I do not believe (and again this is about belief and personal experience) that driving with 0.08 levels is safe, consequently I would be strongly in favor of reducing the legal limits.
For me the calculus is very simple, either restrict consumption to a bare minimum or just don't drive.
(Now this may make me sound boring, but when I don't have to go anywhere, say a nice cottage party where the stagger home is 200 feet, I do drink enough to make the most alcohol resistant at least tipsy... )
The upside of low alcohol tolerance? Drinking all evening is very cheap if you're only downing a drink or two per hour.
Yeah, because this is the first time any of us have ever heard it mentioned. (Rolls eyes)
Ah well... like dey sey, de nile is not a river in Africa...

If I wanted something as reliable as Bitcoin I'd do all my investing in Las Vegas.
Or beanie babies? Anyone? Anyone?
I may be overly cynical today, but my guess is that the Bitcoin crowd are so clued out that the tulip reference goes right over their heads.
Additionally, this is the person in the credits who edited it, also a Canadian, and doesn't work for any space agency. Let's try not to think everything is a conspiracy, please.
The only conspiracy coming from up here (canada) is a push for more maple syrup for breakfast, and bacon in every meal. We're winning on one of those fronts.
Let's not forget about operation Poutine.
Its a market like auction houses or friendship networks: there basically isnt no reason fro a #2 or #3. Bitcoin may not be the winner due to it flaws, mainly speed.
I may be a cynic, but I expect Bitcoin to have spiraled into the sun long before more than 1% gives a flying anything about virtual currency.
My 6 year old loves to doodle with his crayons. Lately, I've been having him draw money. So far, the good ones are really rare. So I figure they are probably worth a substantial amount of money. I'm going to start releasing them as currency soon. I'm also working out a deal with Paypal to accept them.
You're my hero today. Perhaps my growing supply of nieces and nephews can get me in early on this game.
(I wonder if we could get seashells back on the international currency exchanges.)
That's why our organization uses a custom server software written in 68K assembly running on MacOS 7.6.1 on a cluster of Quadra 610s.
Well played sir, well played indeed.
