not hard to imagine, seeing as his premise is utter tosh.
(unless that is mastercard is _a lot_ smaller and anon is _a-fuck-of-a-lot_ bigger that i previously thought)
and the stuxnet observation - hubris or what! i'd rewite it to say that the only people who didnt get what stuxnet really means are the idiots who wrote it, and Dave Aitel.
Real handy if you need to google, say 'ANFO', or get off on looking at pictures of little girs/boys/goats etc.
"potentially makes everyone a criminal"
no it makes criminals criminals.
" usually only takes 2 weeks to 3 months for their lies to be exposed for the deception they are."
lemmie guess... except for sarah palin.
oh! and best of luck pulling the plug on the web BTW
60 million and change populace....
sun and daily fail shifting a couple million copies a day...
need to get a petition to have the OED to alter the definition of majority methinks
(alright i hold my hands up on the x-fucktor thang... actually no i dont! they dot get 30 million odd fuckwits in everyweek do they)
your average fan of an artist in their 60's is probably going to be middle aged, have a massive mortgage - far greater than the value of the property, contemplating a significant increase in pension contributions and funding their kids through university, and little job security....
If people - fans care enough about the band they'll find a way to be there. Thats why wrinklies go to see the stones.
you are right,
if only wind could generate as much as that.
I have no objection to renewables, but wind and solar are too unreliable to use as a generation 'staple'
you need equivalent spinning reserve or pumped hydro for evey kw of wind, cos the wind sometimes stops (or changes speed by more than a few percent which renders wind turbines unuseable - same thing really) either that or a _radical_ reform of the operator licensing conditions for dno's
Big business is in wind for the subsidy. end of!
just look at the 100's and 100's of solar farm plans that suddenly got pulled when the subsidy went away a couple of months back.
blackouts - not because of lack of capacity - that is incorrect. just look at the sudden upswing of interest being shown in black start strategies by the DNO's just now, why do you think that is happening? thats a lot of money to invest in something you dont think is going to happen.
if the regulation is broke - fix it. sure it's hard, if it was easy then everyone would be doing it.
we clearly have to do something, having the lights go off would be a massive desaster, i just dont believe wind is the answer, it's politically more acceptable than nuclear, and as far as the politicians are concerned (remember what blair was like) when the strategy bites us all on the ass, they will be out of office and therefore, not their problem.
them solving their problems != them solving our problems
The coils dont make the noise, its the line output transformer.
an thats at about 17kHz, so easily audible to the young and or asthmatic (really!) or anyone with good hearing.
'Uncanny knacks' of all flavours tend to have more to do with the knackees failure to understand probability more than anything else :-)
motorways much worse, noise, flashing lights and air polution. of course only poor people live there, and didnt pay a premium for living in absolute monastic silence.
nimby's!
fuck em
that said windfarms are a joke, and we'll be pulling them all down in a few years anyways
evolution is a theory
a theory inspired by close observation
occams razor
and finaly backed by _countless_ examples.
stuff changes, slowly, very slowly
the key word is EVOLUTION
not CREATION
bags of evidence
even ID is proof of evolution!
scripture is bunk, and with each passing day more and more of the 'outragous jewish folk tale about a snake and an apple' is demonstrated to be hokum.
so to keep the meme going, some creative (lol) creationists came up with intelligent design, lamely trying to hitch their hotch-potch bunch of borrowed superstition to the 'scientific method' juggernaut.
they are fooling no one - excepting those who were terminally gullible to start with.
get thee behind me kiddie fiddler!
but BEFORE itv took it the beeb had F1 for decades and with the singular and notable exception of one M Walker the coverage was APALLING.
live races getting bumped for snooker
horse racing
even fucking bowls for crying out loud!
the only races you could guarantee seeing live from start to finish were the ones taking place on the other side of the planet.
so ad breaks were a pain for 5 minutes here and there(and a few breaks were horrendously positioned), better then 40 mins of edited highlights on monday night on BBC2 - and thats your lot, which is what we used to get.
It will be a shame to see it go to sky, like many i will not be following.
footbalists work for 45 minutes, then take a breater (cant have the poor dears getting out of puff) then do another 45 minutes stint.
F1 is 2 hours in which mostly nothing much happens, but sometimes incredibly exciting stuff happens, and no one can predict when.
which buggers up the advertising schedule
i do hope thats a euphamism for 'fucking useless', cos thats how i'd characterise my v+ box.
needs a reboot just about every day. lags like a bastard when you try to change channels Although, really helpfully it queues all the additional (is this working?, did i press it right?, are the batteries on the way out?) presses - so when the desired channel change eventually turns up, 10 minutes after the preogramme you wanted to watch has started, you are then treated to the UI (lol) going mental for the next 5 minutes.
VM router needs a reboot every time i log on.
and dont even get me started on their website or customer care.
come to think of it, why am i even a customer....
is me poking my lawyer.
it's all inadmissable :D
(yer know i thought about law as a profession, would have done so. but for the rigour of the exams, people come staggering out of exams saying 'god that was rigourous!' so i beame a coal miner, much less rigorous, in fact 1 question; 'what is your name?' I got 50% at mine)
