No it doesn't. But the report does say that the main way the process uses up water is in cooling. Ever try to use salt water as a coolant?

Yep, so it is (according to ZDNet). And you know something? I never heard of it before. Maybe that says I'm not paying attention — or maybe it says that nobody cares about desktop Linux any more.
You want us to care? Tell us why.
Hey, I said I was stupid, didn't I? And we stupid people have trouble keeping up with stuff.
OK, curiosity got the better of me. And guess what? Seawater is not suitable for F-T processes.
You right wingers and your magic technofixes.
Maybe everybody but me keeps up with all the strange little Linux distros. But I don't. So just for stupid people like me, could all these breathless distro update announcements take just a little time to explain why I should give a shit about their distro? What does it have to offer that better-known distros do not?
You don't like code names? Then WTF are you doing on a geek web site?
A little more care with your URLs?
From the site: "CCD probably is caused by multiple contributing factors including pathogens, parasites and pesticides. Honey bees parasitized by Apocephalus borealis abandon their hive, a behavior associated with CCD. One of our goals is to determine how big a role, if any, the fly plays in hive losses in various parts of North America."
My bad. When you talked about "changing the amount of daylight" I thought you meant literal day.
My first reaction is always DIY
So, when you got your first car, you first thought was to build it yourself?
The first rule of building stuff is, Don't Reinvent the Wheel. That is especially true in software development, a field that has more than its share of really great wheelwrights.
Go back and read what I actually said. I never used the word "fuel". I merely pointed out the fallacious thinking behind the title of this thread.
I confess that I didn't bother to look up your Fisher-whatever. Provide a link next time.
Could you read my post all the way through? It's not that long.
And fix your stupid link.
So fine, in the context of cosmological curvature, "almost infinite" makes sense. In the context of natural resources, "almost infinite" means "I'll be dead by the time it's used up."
That joke was microscopic!
The sources I've read say otherwise. We can have a link duel if you want, but I find them boring.
I think the "alarmism" comes in when the data sharing is unintentional.
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
