I like this answer. People who often complain about Windows just don't bother learning how it works. I like Linux just as much, but both have pros and cons.

I own a Jeep Wrangler. It is still very much the case that my windshield is covered in bug guts. It has the rake of a mid 80s american sedan.

Maybe the market is whatever you want it to be depending on the zoom level. Like a giant fractal.

A/C moves heat at some energy cost. It's not 1:1 with heating.

To add to that, you can't be a human being on this planet without some sort of management skills.

I'd posit that the stressor hormones released when worrying about the effects of cell phones cause more damage to your body than the small amounts of electromagnetic radiation that are given off.

If it's not ionizing radiation, near the excitation frequency of water, or extremely high power - it's total B.S.

Huh. Crazy. I never new that meaning of "career" and have only used careen in that sense. Which according to Google is a North American thing.

This is about 10-15 miles from where I grew up. There are several of these ghost towns that dot the area where mining, iron furnaces, or coke ovens once existed. There is one town not too far from this one that is now under 10-20 feet of w

This is why copyright is so messed up. If I take an photograph of a building designed by someone else, can I sell my photo freely?

It doesn't work for outlying areas. The further you get form a hub, the more varied the travel plans are. Express services work for connecting hubs. But it's the 30-60 mile out suburbs that are a challenge. Note, they are only

Ah. I missed the capacitive part. That said, from what I've read, the difference between the capacitive buckling springs and the membrane buckling springs is negligible. I used a Model M for years, and it was fantastic to type on.

Not if electric cars take over and we have clean abundant wind, solar, and nuclear power.

Your point about recession is interesting. As we came out of the previous recession after the crash in 07/08, I noticed commute times increasing in the DC metro area. My argument is and has been that highway lane miles have never met d

This. There are lots of studies that have pointed to slow re-starters as the prime culprit for traffic. And it's only gotten worse with cellphones because now there is something to longer distract people when the come to a stop.
173.
by rplst8 8y ago
Yeah, I think that saying more lanes means more traffic is just ignoring the fact that the current road system never met the original demand. Also, we obviously have to plan for growth. We do have more people on the roads than we did in dec

Nobody is entitled to a promotion. One is promoted based on merit. And the promotee is not the judge of merit. If someone commits suicide because they didn't get a promotion then I'd argue that person is likely to unstable to be

Wow, that's cool. I sincerely wish you the best of luck. I've long thought that a distributed, decentralized Internet (more the backbone and last mile replacement) could be a powerful and game changing thing.
