| fewa | its a inequality of governments | Oct 18 00:00 |
| fewa | if you have free flow of capital, but not labor you have capital voting for the most opressive regimes | Oct 18 00:00 |
| fewa | thats why they always talk about China | Oct 18 00:00 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | its about money, the powers that be, the rich shifting wealth and control | Oct 18 00:00 |
| fewa | what about India? Russia? Brazil? | Oct 18 00:00 |

| fewa | no, because they want all those countries to be as opressive as China | Oct 18 00:01 |
| fewa | Brazil is doing it well | Oct 18 00:01 |
| oiaohm | Brazil is ahead in a lot of things. Including the use of biofuels. | Oct 18 00:01 |
| fewa | India understands anglo-american propaganda and control | Oct 18 00:01 |

| fewa | which is only used due to massive protectionism and subsidizes | Oct 18 00:02 |
| oiaohm | Cars in Brazil lot of them can run on anything like the old model T could. | Oct 18 00:02 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | so NAFTA took away the good manufacturing jobs, which left mostly service jobs for the middle class. Illegal imigration caused those jobs to stay at the same pay rate for many years | Oct 18 00:02 |
| oiaohm | People forget the first car 100 percent biofuel compadible was the Model T | Oct 18 00:02 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, no, immigration is good, if there was free flow of labor then people would have a state in economics' | Oct 18 00:03 |
| fewa | the people would move to the best government | Oct 18 00:03 |

| fewa | (now there are alot of other problems) | Oct 18 00:03 |
| oiaohm | We have just gone down hill since then. Law should simple past word wide if car cannot run on the same ranges of fuel as the model T it cannot be sol. | Oct 18 00:03 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | No the people will not always move to the best government. They will move to the country that provides the highest standard of living | Oct 18 00:04 |
| fewa | the mobilization of people was highest in the 19th century | Oct 18 00:04 |
| fewa | it is _way_ down | Oct 18 00:04 |
| fewa | and this is a opressive form | Oct 18 00:04 |
| Diablo-D3 | I wish people would quit saying biofuel | Oct 18 00:04 |
| Diablo-D3 | its like its special or something | Oct 18 00:04 |
| Diablo-D3 | its not | Oct 18 00:04 |

| fewa | Diablo-D3, yep | Oct 18 00:04 |
| fewa | everyone tries to pretend things are new | Oct 18 00:04 |
| oiaohm | What I am refering to is not diesel its petrol replacement | Oct 18 00:05 |
| fewa | ethanol | Oct 18 00:05 |
| Diablo-D3 | I dont know why people would used oil diesel though | Oct 18 00:05 |
| Diablo-D3 | its rather inefficient | Oct 18 00:05 |
| fewa | but biodiesel is better | Oct 18 00:05 |
| Diablo-D3 | and it tends to ruin diesel engines | Oct 18 00:05 |
| Diablo-D3 | all the filter changing and cleaning shit and shit | Oct 18 00:05 |
| fewa | biodiesel much better than ethanol | Oct 18 00:05 |
| oiaohm | Ie petrol style engines that can run on ethanol and methanol. | Oct 18 00:05 |
| Diablo-D3 | algea biodisel is the most efficient shit out there for that kind of shit | Oct 18 00:05 |
| oiaohm | If they are designed right. | Oct 18 00:05 |
| Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: problem is ethanol sucks | Oct 18 00:05 |
| oiaohm | Methanol is lot simpler and can be produced in larger ammounts | Oct 18 00:06 |
| fewa | electric | Oct 18 00:06 |
| fewa | we have the batteries for it these days | Oct 18 00:06 |
| fewa | and with an extensive wind deployment it would work very well | Oct 18 00:06 |
| Diablo-D3 | electric doesnt seem like the right answer | Oct 18 00:06 |
| fewa | and geothermal | Oct 18 00:06 |
| Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: and btw, no | Oct 18 00:06 |
| oiaohm | Methanol also can be used in fuel cells for electric | Oct 18 00:06 |
| fewa | electric cars are powerful | Oct 18 00:06 |
| Diablo-D3 | methanol and ethanol doesnt seem like the right answer | Oct 18 00:06 |
| fewa | and much lighter | Oct 18 00:06 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | anyone else old enough to remember when they took out the trolleys? | Oct 18 00:06 |
| Diablo-D3 | and fewa, why bring up geothermal | Oct 18 00:06 |
| fewa | and they dont need repair | Oct 18 00:06 |
| fewa | Diablo-D3, cause its a big potential source of electricity | Oct 18 00:07 |
| fewa | the US has lots of it | Oct 18 00:07 |
| oiaohm | You can produce disel from wood. | Oct 18 00:07 |
| fewa | in Idaho and Wyoming | Oct 18 00:07 |
| fewa | oiaohm, wood, wtf | Oct 18 00:07 |
| oiaohm | Early stage of that process you get Methanol | Oct 18 00:07 |
| fewa | wood is valuable | Oct 18 00:07 |
| fewa | maybe hemp or something | Oct 18 00:07 |
| oiaohm | Basically anything with cellouse. | Oct 18 00:07 |
| fewa | but word is really valuable | Oct 18 00:07 |
| amarsh04 | queensland premier wants to produce aviation fuel from algae and waste co2 | Oct 18 00:07 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | wood is a renewable source, but not clean burning | Oct 18 00:07 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, not very renewable | Oct 18 00:08 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, _much_ less efficient than hemp | Oct 18 00:08 |
| oiaohm | fewa: even old degraded wood can be put threw the process. | Oct 18 00:08 |
| fewa | and it destroys streams, rivers, and biodiversity | Oct 18 00:08 |
| Diablo-D3 | fewa: I think you misunderstood | Oct 18 00:08 |
| fewa | ever seen an old growth forrest? | Oct 18 00:08 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | cut my own firewood too | Oct 18 00:09 |
| fewa | Diablo-D3, tidal and solar I havnt seen much promise | Oct 18 00:09 |
| oiaohm | The process for produce desile from wood can be used on like the waste from suger production... yes the junk from production not what we want to eat. | Oct 18 00:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | erm, fewa | Oct 18 00:09 |
| fewa | but i could be mistaken | Oct 18 00:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | in ireland they have a commercial tidal plant | Oct 18 00:09 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | but I only cut dead cured trees that produced less pollution | Oct 18 00:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | they love it | Oct 18 00:09 |
| fewa | cool | Oct 18 00:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | its not experimental, its an actual commercial plant | Oct 18 00:10 |
| fewa | well then i am mistaken | Oct 18 00:10 |
| fewa | would work here | Oct 18 00:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | tidal obviously only works in areas that have high tides | Oct 18 00:10 |
| oiaohm | You cannot get ethanol out the process to produce desiel from wood. | Oct 18 00:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | but all ares on the planet fits something | Oct 18 00:10 |
| fewa | Diablo-D3, is it ponds? | Oct 18 00:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | fewa: no, the ocean | Oct 18 00:10 |
| fewa | and then a dam? | Oct 18 00:10 |
| fewa | thats what i mean | Oct 18 00:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | ponds dont suffer from tides | Oct 18 00:10 |
| fewa | a giant pool | Oct 18 00:10 |
| fewa | that has a dammed gate | Oct 18 00:10 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | wind farms seem to work here, except for the birds that fly into them | Oct 18 00:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | fewa: no | Oct 18 00:11 |
| fewa | to the ocean | Oct 18 00:11 |
| fewa | Diablo-D3, how does it work? | Oct 18 00:11 |
| oiaohm | Diablo-D3: How much food does current day bio desiel destroy. | Oct 18 00:11 |
| fewa | oiaohm, ummm | Oct 18 00:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: it should be zero because I do not recognize corn biodisel | Oct 18 00:11 |
| fewa | look at corn ethanol oiaohm | Oct 18 00:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | corn products are worthless | Oct 18 00:11 |
| fewa | totally worthless | Oct 18 00:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | corn sucks at producing anything | Oct 18 00:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | biodiesel or ethanol | Oct 18 00:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | its shit | Oct 18 00:11 |
| fewa | it wouldn't be grown if not for subsidizes | Oct 18 00:11 |
| fewa | and its only subsidized cause it raises food prices | Oct 18 00:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | algae can produce ten thousand times more per acre of both | Oct 18 00:12 |
| oiaohm | That is my problem most biodiesel and ethanol is too food consoming. | Oct 18 00:12 |
| fewa | electric | Oct 18 00:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: btw, this is a false argument | Oct 18 00:12 |
| mutx | only because oil is so cheap to dig up, wait until there is none left, | Oct 18 00:12 |
| fewa | electric makes sense | Oct 18 00:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | they're not consuing food | Oct 18 00:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: the corn is not grown for food | Oct 18 00:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | its grown for this | Oct 18 00:12 |
| fewa | no engine to maintain, ligher vehicles | Oct 18 00:12 |
| oiaohm | What do they do with the celeouse from the corn Diablo-D3 | Oct 18 00:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: dispose of it | Oct 18 00:12 |
| fewa | and you can get rid of the trillion dollar petrol distribution network | Oct 18 00:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | its shit | Oct 18 00:12 |
| oiaohm | That is usable. | Oct 18 00:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | corn is not worth anything but food | Oct 18 00:12 |
| Balrog_ | oiaohm: what about biodiesel from waste cooking oil? | Oct 18 00:13 |
| fewa | Diablo-D3, not even for that | Oct 18 00:13 |
| oiaohm | methonal production Diablo-D3 | Oct 18 00:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | hey, I like eating corn | Oct 18 00:13 |
| fewa | if you have ever grown it you know | Oct 18 00:13 |
| fewa | corn eats nitrogen | Oct 18 00:13 |
| fewa | and a very small percentage is food | Oct 18 00:13 |
| fewa | very inefficient | Oct 18 00:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | that isnt it | Oct 18 00:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | its food people ot | Oct 18 00:13 |
| fewa | most corn is grown for cows | Oct 18 00:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | *eat | Oct 18 00:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | its not food cars eat | Oct 18 00:13 |

| fewa | its really earie | Oct 18 00:14 |
| Diablo-D3 | algae is the best at producing biodisel | Oct 18 00:14 |
| oiaohm | Not exactly Diablo-D3 | Oct 18 00:14 |
| Diablo-D3 | you cant beat it | Oct 18 00:14 |
| Diablo-D3 | period | Oct 18 00:14 |
| Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: dont not exactly me | Oct 18 00:14 |
| fewa | Diablo-D3, what goes to waste? | Oct 18 00:14 |
| Diablo-D3 | its more efficient per dollar and per acre than anything in the world | Oct 18 00:14 |
| Diablo-D3 | fewa: in algea processing? nothing | Oct 18 00:14 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Is it next week the next quarterly profit statement come out from M$? | Oct 18 00:14 |
| oiaohm | wood conversion base produces equal if not more stable biodiesel. | Oct 18 00:14 |
| fewa | o whoops Balrog_ what goes to waste? | Oct 18 00:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: wrong | Oct 18 00:15 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, yep | Oct 18 00:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | algae basically has no waste | Oct 18 00:15 |
| Balrog_ | waste cooking oil | Oct 18 00:15 |
| fewa | wood is not good | Oct 18 00:15 |
| oiaohm | Neither does wood based Diablo-D3 | Oct 18 00:15 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | should be revealing | Oct 18 00:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | it almost literally turns sunlight into biodiesel | Oct 18 00:15 |
| fewa | yet, you can use wood for heat, ive done it | Oct 18 00:15 |
| Balrog_ | Chips_B_Malroy: and Apple profit statements too | Oct 18 00:15 |
| fewa | but not everyone can | Oct 18 00:15 |
| oiaohm | Its a power plant. | Oct 18 00:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: exceot it has a carbon foodprint for just processing it | Oct 18 00:15 |
| fewa | hemp if you need land based fiber | Oct 18 00:15 |
| oiaohm | Both techs used toeghter have there advantages Diablo-D3 | Oct 18 00:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | and we should be using neither | Oct 18 00:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | we should be using solid state electronics | Oct 18 00:16 |
| fewa | god, wood is useless, do you people know how long it takes to get a loggable forrest? how much demand there is for the wood? how much logging exceeds production? | Oct 18 00:16 |
| fewa | and you have to hand plant | Oct 18 00:16 |
| oiaohm | fewa: the wood line is celouse base production Ie wood is simpler to type. | Oct 18 00:17 |
| fewa | wood is good for construction | Oct 18 00:17 |
| oiaohm | Lot of things have celouse. | Oct 18 00:17 |
| fewa | but not anything else | Oct 18 00:17 |
| fewa | then say hemp | Oct 18 00:17 |
| fewa | thats the best cellolose producer | Oct 18 00:17 |
| oiaohm | Anything that is cellolose can be put threw the process. | Oct 18 00:17 |
| fewa | or hay for places without water | Oct 18 00:17 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | The thing about wood burning being poluting is over done. If you leave the dead trees in the forest, at some point you are going have a forest fire. This have been proven time and time again in the USA. Its better to burn it for heat and decrease the need or other fuels, as its the same amount of pollution from woodburner or a forest fire | Oct 18 00:18 |
| oiaohm | Basically garbage reduction. | Oct 18 00:18 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, that wasn't my point at all | Oct 18 00:18 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I know | Oct 18 00:18 |
| fewa | The problem is that demand for cutting far outpaces growth | Oct 18 00:18 |
| fewa | and that every time you cut, you destroy alot | Oct 18 00:18 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | so you limit to dead trees only | Oct 18 00:18 |
| fewa | much better to use actual farms | Oct 18 00:19 |
| oiaohm | algae does not help with our land fill problem. | Oct 18 00:19 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, no loggers do that | Oct 18 00:19 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | lot of national forests out here do that | Oct 18 00:19 |
| fewa | _none_ | Oct 18 00:19 |
| mutx | our demand of oil and coal also vastly outpaces our growth, so should we keep doing i t? | Oct 18 00:19 |
| oiaohm | I have a good story hear I guess you hear that logging on fraser Island Australian was stoped. | Oct 18 00:19 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | you are correct, commerial loggers do not, but the public mostly has to | Oct 18 00:19 |
| fewa | hem, ive never seen it | Oct 18 00:19 |
| fewa | even in "public" loggins | Oct 18 00:19 |
| fewa | as in the school's parcel | Oct 18 00:20 |
| fewa | they did a good job and left some seed trees | Oct 18 00:20 |
| oiaohm | The stupid part about fraser Island is you could grow a tree on that island in 20 years that is the size of that same tree on the main land that is 70 to 80 years old. | Oct 18 00:20 |
| fewa | but just taking downed logs really doesn't happen, at least around here | Oct 18 00:20 |
| oiaohm | Ie grown in sand. | Oct 18 00:20 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | that was in Colorado | Oct 18 00:20 |
| oiaohm | Hydroponic trees. | Oct 18 00:20 |
| fewa | hydroponics are awesome | Oct 18 00:20 |
| fewa | you can grow without using excessive amounts of water | Oct 18 00:21 |
| oiaohm | Natural Hydroponic trees. | Oct 18 00:21 |
| oiaohm | And we cannot log them. | Oct 18 00:21 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | anyway, woodburner is not the anwser, it would only help a little | Oct 18 00:21 |
| fewa | the so-called "green revolution" was based on polluting the soil, the environment, and using lots of oil-based fertilizers | Oct 18 00:21 |
| fewa | and hydroponics is the solution | Oct 18 00:21 |
| fewa | no run-off | Oct 18 00:21 |
| fewa | its great | Oct 18 00:22 |
| oiaohm | Basically careful selection from the information from fraser we could reduce the area we need to log. | Oct 18 00:22 |
| oiaohm | And have the area recover faster. | Oct 18 00:22 |
| fewa | main thing is just to plant after you log | Oct 18 00:22 |
| fewa | thats what most deforrestation comes from | Oct 18 00:22 |
| fewa | those that dont plant | Oct 18 00:22 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | but even here, the gov is being used by special interests, where only the commercial companies can cut, and permits are never handed out to other (general public) in some areas | Oct 18 00:22 |
| oiaohm | fewa: 20 years same size tree as 80 year old. | Oct 18 00:22 |
| oiaohm | Since it grew a lot faster. | Oct 18 00:22 |
| fewa | oiaohm, ahh, great growth place | Oct 18 00:23 |
| oiaohm | You only need to log 1/4 the area to get the same ammount of wood. | Oct 18 00:23 |
| fewa | yeah we have places like that around here | Oct 18 00:23 |
| oiaohm | There has to be other areas the same. | Oct 18 00:23 |
| fewa | pacific northwest grows fast | Oct 18 00:24 |
| fewa | near the sea level | Oct 18 00:24 |
| oiaohm | Areas that grow slow should be off limits to logging. | Oct 18 00:24 |
| fewa | oiaohm, agreed | Oct 18 00:24 |
| fewa | but they usually dont fallow that | Oct 18 00:24 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I almost had to leave my house twice because of forest fires, that were caused by the creation of wilderness areas that were closed to the public for cutting of dead wood | Oct 18 00:24 |
| oiaohm | Over hear we are going back to yearly burns in wilderness areas. | Oct 18 00:25 |
| oiaohm | At the correct times of years so its not scary. | Oct 18 00:25 |
| fewa | oiaohm, what type of trees do you have in australia? | Oct 18 00:25 |
| oiaohm | Part of the USA problem is the complete fear of fire. | Oct 18 00:25 |
| fewa | firs deciduous pine? | Oct 18 00:25 |
| fewa | oiaohm, the US has changed | Oct 18 00:26 |
| fewa | at least in the west | Oct 18 00:26 |
| fewa | controled burns | Oct 18 00:26 |
| oiaohm | We do have pines. Most of ours are gums. | Oct 18 00:26 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | would it not be more sensable to let home users cut the dead trees for firewood than to set the fires? This would save on fosel fuels to heat in winter | Oct 18 00:26 |
| mutx | Eucliptious, very oily and very fire prone, we have very very bad bush fires here. | Oct 18 00:26 |
| mutx | All the time. | Oct 18 00:26 |
| oiaohm | Basically most of our trees are designed to burn and burn fast. | Oct 18 00:27 |
| oiaohm | And live. | Oct 18 00:27 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, most of the places where this is happening there are not many locals | Oct 18 00:27 |
| fewa | but yes, you are right | Oct 18 00:27 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | pines and aspens in colorado where I used to cut | Oct 18 00:27 |
| amarsh04 | eucalyptus oil will run a petrol internal combustion engine fine | Oct 18 00:27 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | they were locals | Oct 18 00:27 |
| fewa | they need to allow locals to gather brush | Oct 18 00:28 |
| oiaohm | There is not one eucalyptus oil. Each tree type produces different oils. | Oct 18 00:28 |
| fewa | like they did in 17th century Japan | Oct 18 00:28 |
| oiaohm | The most nasty one I have seen smells nice but is highly crossive. | Oct 18 00:28 |
| fewa | oiaohm, any old growth forrest there? | Oct 18 00:28 |
| mutx | trouble is in Aus there are massive forests, and a few people. | Oct 18 00:28 |
| fewa | *their | Oct 18 00:28 |
| fewa | there | Oct 18 00:28 |
| oiaohm | We do fewa | Oct 18 00:28 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | the gov was evectively being lobbyed by the electric companies to stop home firewood gatheriers | Oct 18 00:29 |
| oiaohm | Some areas humans have not fully explored here fewa | Oct 18 00:29 |
| fewa | Obama has announced that they will allow logging the Alaska wilderness | Oct 18 00:29 |
| fewa | where the forrest grows slow and there is no roads | Oct 18 00:29 |
| fewa | the roads will cost more than the profit | Oct 18 00:29 |
| oiaohm | Some areas of Alaska might be fine. | Oct 18 00:29 |
| fewa | but while the profits are to logging companies, the roads are paid by the public | Oct 18 00:29 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | firewood is too expensive unless you cut your own | Oct 18 00:30 |
| fewa | oiaohm, but not if there isn't roads | Oct 18 00:30 |
| oiaohm | But most of it could be bad growning. | Oct 18 00:30 |
| fewa | its too expensive | Oct 18 00:30 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | its a very backbreaking work too | Oct 18 00:30 |
| oiaohm | Boats fewa | Oct 18 00:30 |
| fewa | and that far north the wood is pretty fragive | Oct 18 00:30 |
| fewa | *fragile | Oct 18 00:30 |
| fewa | you cut the trees and they wont grow back | Oct 18 00:30 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | its why I only cut dead fallening down trees | Oct 18 00:30 |
| fewa | will hurt caribou | Oct 18 00:30 |
| oiaohm | You would have to survey the area fewa | Oct 18 00:31 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, yeah thats cool | Oct 18 00:31 |
| oiaohm | There could be a pocket of two like fraser. | Oct 18 00:31 |
| fewa | oiaohm, has been done, after heavy public pressure Clinton did not log it | Oct 18 00:31 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I am mostly against the commercial loggers, the way they do things | Oct 18 00:31 |
| fewa | annouced the great compramise that if roads are not there, it wont be logged | Oct 18 00:31 |
| fewa | which is a fiscally sound decision | Oct 18 00:31 |
| fewa | logging a unroaded area costs more than it provides, even in the short term | Oct 18 00:32 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | they close the roads in the national forests all the time | Oct 18 00:32 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | and create the forest fires here | Oct 18 00:32 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, if there were built once, they are still repairable | Oct 18 00:32 |
| fewa | ohh, diff | Oct 18 00:32 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | the federal gov closes them | Oct 18 00:32 |
| oiaohm | It depends on the loggers. | Oct 18 00:32 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | not only to loggers, but to everyone | Oct 18 00:33 |
| fewa | if they plant right after, and plant a local species, then its OK | Oct 18 00:33 |
| oiaohm | By law here the loggers are required to replant. | Oct 18 00:33 |
| oiaohm | And get sucuessful regrowth. | Oct 18 00:33 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | they are not allowed to clear cut | Oct 18 00:33 |
| fewa | and local species? | Oct 18 00:33 |
| oiaohm | And replaint must be same species that were there. | Oct 18 00:33 |

| oiaohm | Not something you want to spreed. | Oct 18 00:34 |

| fewa | esp when they are old growth, you should see the pictures | Oct 18 00:35 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Had to cut some that were too close to my house | Oct 18 00:36 |
| mutx | we have some of the oldest species of trees on earth, and I think also the oldest tree as well. | Oct 18 00:36 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | oldest tree is, trying to think, thislecone pine, not sure i have that right | Oct 18 00:37 |
| fewa | wood is _not_ renewable | Oct 18 00:37 |
| oiaohm | That is the problem fraser 20 year old tree over 2 metres across. it was stupid 1 photo of goverment officals standing under a so called old growth tree was standing in the middle of a area that had been cleared completely 20 years before. | Oct 18 00:37 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | it grew in colorado I know | Oct 18 00:38 |
| oiaohm | Cutting down a tree 2 meters accross is scary if it does not go where planed. | Oct 18 00:38 |
| fewa | is that the biggest youve seen? | Oct 18 00:38 |
| oiaohm | No there is bigger over there in the true old growth. | Oct 18 00:39 |

| DaemonFC | lmfao | Oct 18 00:39 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | trees are renewable, but only if done right, and in the right places. Areas that are under enviroment pressures, like sub saharia, NO | Oct 18 00:39 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, yes, but if you look at that picture you realize that they have been used far faster than they have grown | Oct 18 00:40 |
| fewa | and we have far more people on the planet now | Oct 18 00:40 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | But wood is not the anwser to the fuel problem, it could only help just a very small amount with a better plan from our gov | Oct 18 00:40 |
| fewa | believing that we can use wood willy nilly, for example for such stupid things such as paper fiber, is silly | Oct 18 00:40 |
| fewa | and it is not for fuel, at all | Oct 18 00:41 |
| oiaohm | And the bad part most of the areas where trees are renewalbe also look so nice that dumb greenes get up in arms and stop logging there. | Oct 18 00:41 |
| fewa | oiaohm, meh, most of those lands would be good agricultural land | Oct 18 00:41 |
| oiaohm | So forcing loggers on to worse land. | Oct 18 00:41 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I am for the use of firewood in the cutting of dead trees | Oct 18 00:41 |
| oiaohm | Not fraser is a sand island | Oct 18 00:41 |
| fewa | ahh | Oct 18 00:41 |
| oiaohm | agricultural would destory it. | Oct 18 00:42 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, agreed, its just not what usually happens | Oct 18 00:42 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | that is the problem of equating all logging with cutting of all trees, dead trees are a fire hazard, and we need people to cut and remove them | Oct 18 00:43 |
| fewa | but asphaulted over | Oct 18 00:43 |
| oiaohm | Best stuff for trees to grow fast in is sand. With a nature pool of water under it with lots of bird droping or other sources to provide nutruants. | Oct 18 00:43 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, meh, dead trees not much of a fire hazar, brush is | Oct 18 00:43 |
| fewa | but much better to use than let rot | Oct 18 00:43 |

| fewa | "We’re trying to make the case in this book that that era is over. We now have to move in a very different direction. And key to that will be basing the US economy not on credit cards, but based on clean energy and the clean energy revolution that would put literally millions of people to work, putting up solar panels all across the United States, weatherizing buildings so they don’t leak so much energy and put up so much carbon, building wind f | Oct 18 00:50 |

We argue you could put Detroit back to work not making SUVs to destroy the world, but making wind turbines, 8,000 finely machine parts in each one, twenty tons of steel in each wind tower, making wind turbines to help save the world. | Oct 18 00:50 |
| fewa | So we think that you can fight pollution and poverty at the same time. We think that you can actually power our way through this recession by putting people to work, but we’re going to have to start building things here and re-powering, retrofitting, retooling America, and that that’s the way forward both for the economy, for the earth and for everyday people." | Oct 18 00:50 |
| fewa | "And when you look at, you know, what should you spend that money on, last time we had a stimulus, we gave out a bunch of checks to people who ran out to Wal-Mart and bought flat-screen TVs, so we stimulated the economy—it was just the Chinese economy, not this one. The smart way to do a stimulus is to invest in infrastructure. And the smart infrastructure that we need right now is infrastructure that gets the price of energy down, that gets us mo | Oct 18 00:50 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | but the problem here with wind farms is storing power for when there is no wind | Oct 18 00:52 |
| fewa | also solar panel require lots of metals | Oct 18 00:52 |
| oiaohm | Now if you are using reflectors to push more light into solar panels you may recover it. | Oct 18 00:52 |

| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, you can build a supercouducting electric grib | Oct 18 00:52 |
| mutx | thats not true, ive done the full energy cost of it, and solar panels are about as efficient as a petrol engine. | Oct 18 00:52 |

| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, this is one of the sins of patents | Oct 18 00:56 |
| mutx | yes, standard silicon solar panels, have a greater than 25 year operational life and they easily give back far more energy than it takes to make them. | Oct 18 00:56 |
| oiaohm | At that point solar panels are green. | Oct 18 00:56 |

| oiaohm | If cells were simple to replace and upgrade in panels people would not take the lazy path and drop the full panel. | Oct 18 01:06 |
| mutx | well I for one would not like to hold my breath waiting for a solar system to fail, ive put in alot of systems, and you dont see solar panels fail. | Oct 18 01:06 |

| oiaohm | Damaged ones are another cat. | Oct 18 01:12 |
| oiaohm | Again could be recycled far better than schreding. | Oct 18 01:13 |
| mutx | well if they didnt work, or do the job as required, telstra would not use them, and they would find some other way, but as they do use them, and replace them with the same thing, it must be working for them. | Oct 18 01:14 |

| DaemonFC | bacteria can feed off the sugar residue on your teeth for hours | Oct 18 02:00 |
| fewa | I just drink water | Oct 18 02:00 |
| fewa | I dont like fake stuff | Oct 18 02:00 |
| amarsh04 | the phosphoric acid in coca cola isn't good for your teeth either | Oct 18 02:01 |
| DaemonFC | I'm taking a liking to Diet Rite | Oct 18 02:01 |
| fewa | ugggghhhhhh | Oct 18 02:01 |
| fewa | its just caffeine | Oct 18 02:01 |
| fewa | and unregulated water | Oct 18 02:01 |
| fewa | and alluminum | Oct 18 02:01 |
| DaemonFC | Diet Rite doesn't have any caffeine or sodium | Oct 18 02:01 |
| DaemonFC | or aspartame | Oct 18 02:01 |
| fewa | unregulated water | Oct 18 02:02 |
| fewa | water from your tap is regulated to make sure it doesn't kill you | Oct 18 02:02 |
| *Balrog_ has quit () | Oct 18 02:02 |
| DaemonFC | aspartame is seriously bad stuff, especially if you drink a lot of diet soda that contains it | Oct 18 02:02 |
| fewa | bottled water has no such rules | Oct 18 02:02 |
| DaemonFC | the more you drink of it the worse you'll feel | Oct 18 02:02 |
| DaemonFC | fewa, Yes it does | Oct 18 02:02 |
| fewa | Nope | Oct 18 02:02 |
| fewa | its not tested | Oct 18 02:02 |
| DaemonFC | bottled water is regulated by the FDA which has the same standards as the EPA does for tap water | Oct 18 02:02 |
| fewa | they dont test it | Oct 18 02:02 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Oct 18 02:03 |
| mutx | every product sold as a food stuff, is tested and regulated. | Oct 18 02:03 |
| fewa | and it doesn't fall under the clean water act | Oct 18 02:03 |
| DaemonFC | it's at least no worse for you than tap water | Oct 18 02:03 |
| DaemonFC | doesn't mean you're smart to be buying bottles of water | Oct 18 02:03 |
| fewa | the vast majority of bottled water _is_ tap water | Oct 18 02:03 |
| fewa | It is essentially a sham industry | Oct 18 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | of course it's a sham | Oct 18 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | Coke was fined by the UK when it came to light that Dasani was nothing more than tap water | Oct 18 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | they had advertised it as "spring water" or something | Oct 18 02:05 |
| fewa | lolol | Oct 18 02:05 |
| fewa | most bottled water in the us is marketed liek that | Oct 18 02:05 |
| fewa | which is a lie | Oct 18 02:05 |
| fewa | but they are not prosecuted | Oct 18 02:05 |
| fewa | again, consumer protection law need qui tam provisions | Oct 18 02:05 |
| DaemonFC | Just get a reusable water bottle and fill it yourself if you want to take water with you | Oct 18 02:05 |
| fewa | otherwise they are politically prosecuted | Oct 18 02:05 |
| fewa | also, PETE is not a good plastic | Oct 18 02:06 |
| fewa | HDPE is the right type of plastic, milk jugs | Oct 18 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | well, people throw millions of plastic bottles into landfills every year | Oct 18 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | those never break down | Oct 18 02:06 |
| fewa | HDPE is the most recyclable | Oct 18 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | even styrofoam eventually decomposes, plastic bottles never do | Oct 18 02:06 |

| fewa | I have read editorials in chemistry journals | Oct 18 02:10 |
| fewa | ... | Oct 18 02:10 |
| fewa | was originally used as an estrogen replacement until it was discovered it caused cancer | Oct 18 02:11 |
| fewa | ..then the y figured they could make a plastic out of it. yipee! | Oct 18 02:11 |
| fewa | using a hormone to make plastic! | Oct 18 02:11 |
| fewa | which are then used in baby bottles, water bottles, etc | Oct 18 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | I just turned on two of my heaters :P | Oct 18 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | that should get this place warmed up nicely | Oct 18 02:12 |
| fewa | how powered? | Oct 18 02:12 |
| fewa | NG, propane electic? | Oct 18 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | I don't really need the heat on unless it drops below about 45 outside, cause the neighboring apartments bleed heat into mine | Oct 18 02:13 |
| DaemonFC | electric | Oct 18 02:13 |
| fewa | ouch | Oct 18 02:13 |
| fewa | esp in the midwest, where it all comes from coal | Oct 18 02:13 |
| DaemonFC | electric is much cheaper to heat with than gas | Oct 18 02:13 |
| DaemonFC | my cousin's house took $400 to heat last December with gas | Oct 18 02:13 |
| fewa | wat | Oct 18 02:14 |
| fewa | gas is cheaper | Oct 18 02:14 |
| fewa | far cheaper | Oct 18 02:14 |
| fewa | must have a leak | Oct 18 02:14 |
| DaemonFC | I went and installed electric radiator style heaters and the January electric bill only jumped about $150 | Oct 18 02:14 |
| fewa | or heating it to 80 or something | Oct 18 02:14 |
| oiaohm | Depends on where fewa | Oct 18 02:14 |
| DaemonFC | so it's more than twice the price to heat with natural gas | Oct 18 02:14 |
| fewa | gas is 95% efficient | Oct 18 02:14 |
| oiaohm | Some places gas prices are high. | Oct 18 02:14 |
| DaemonFC | gas is too pricey to even bother with | Oct 18 02:14 |
| fewa | coal-->electric-->heat is probably only like 50% | Oct 18 02:14 |
| oiaohm | Envorment yes fewa | Oct 18 02:15 |
| DaemonFC | if you have a gas furnace around here, you should rip it out and put in electric heat | Oct 18 02:15 |
| fewa | oiaohm, geeze why so pricy? | Oct 18 02:15 |
| fewa | to subsidize the coal industry? | Oct 18 02:15 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | considering that most of the electric companies are now using fossel fuels to make electric | Oct 18 02:15 |
| DaemonFC | Indiana is far ahead of the other states with wind power btw | Oct 18 02:15 |
| oiaohm | Transport into some areas can be problem matic fewa | Oct 18 02:15 |
| fewa | But midwest is based on coal | Oct 18 02:15 |
| DaemonFC | we currently have about 5% of our electricity provided by it | Oct 18 02:15 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Hoover Dam here, but no break anymore on the bill | Oct 18 02:15 |
| fewa | unlike pacific northwest, which is based on hydro | Oct 18 02:16 |
| oiaohm | ie not enough users to make it cost effective fewa | Oct 18 02:16 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, Hoover dam hardly generates any electricity | Oct 18 02:16 |
| DaemonFC | fewa, Indiana is mostly nuclear and coal | Oct 18 02:16 |
| fewa | ahh | Oct 18 02:16 |
| oiaohm | So the small numbers with it get billed high. | Oct 18 02:16 |
| fewa | nuclear | Oct 18 02:16 |
| DaemonFC | I like nuclear a little better than coal really | Oct 18 02:16 |
| fewa | out of the measly 10% in the US | Oct 18 02:16 |
| fewa | yes, i do too | Oct 18 02:16 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: really you should back it both ways have gas and electirc | Oct 18 02:16 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I am against Nuclear power | Oct 18 02:16 |
| oiaohm | and use what ever one is cheaper over the years it changes. | Oct 18 02:17 |
| fewa | nuclear does get a massive corporate welfare however | Oct 18 02:17 |
| fewa | even bigger than fossil fuel companies | Oct 18 02:17 |
| oiaohm | Nuclear produces a insane ammount of waste | Oct 18 02:17 |
| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy, I'd be much more afraid of what burning coal will do to the environment | Oct 18 02:17 |
| oiaohm | That we still don't know what to do with. | Oct 18 02:17 |
| DaemonFC | nuclear is nasty but it doesn't lead to global warming | Oct 18 02:17 |

| mutx | and it's all fully controlled, not just released. | Oct 18 02:17 |
| oiaohm | Coal waste we have ways of dealing with mutx | Oct 18 02:17 |
| mutx | like what ? | Oct 18 02:18 |
| mutx | and where. | Oct 18 02:18 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | the waste from Nuclear is a problem. The main reason for Nuclear which the gov does not mention is a byproduct to produce the bomb | Oct 18 02:18 |
| DaemonFC | fewa, The scrapping of those 500 US / 800 Russian warheads should provide a lot of nuclear power | Oct 18 02:18 |
| DaemonFC | they can be used as reactor fuel you know | Oct 18 02:18 |
| fewa | DaemonFC, the ones that didn't go on the black market | Oct 18 02:18 |
| fewa | ... | Oct 18 02:18 |
| fewa | but yes | Oct 18 02:18 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | also think 3 mile island and chernoble | Oct 18 02:18 |
| oiaohm | Even the CO2 can be stored under ground. mutx and processed off over time. | Oct 18 02:18 |
| fewa | however wind is the best | Oct 18 02:18 |
| oiaohm | High CO2 areas grow plants fast. | Oct 18 02:18 |
| fewa | +geothermal, tidal | Oct 18 02:18 |
| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy, The US is not the Soviet Union | Oct 18 02:18 |
| fewa | oiaohm, noone knows where the CO2 goes after you pump it underground | Oct 18 02:19 |
| DaemonFC | we've never had a meltdown and certainly not for such stupid reasons | Oct 18 02:19 |
| mutx | there is alot of talk about clean coal, but no examples of it actually working. | Oct 18 02:19 |
| DaemonFC | let me say again, STUPID STUPID BRAINDEAD reasons :) | Oct 18 02:19 |
| oiaohm | Underground is storage if it done right fewa | Oct 18 02:19 |
| fewa | for all we know it just escapes back up all the holes that were drilled to get the oil | Oct 18 02:19 |
| oiaohm | Not if it is done right. | Oct 18 02:19 |
| fewa | these chasms have thousands of holes | Oct 18 02:19 |
| DaemonFC | they'll store the waste in modified abandoned salt mines in Utah | Oct 18 02:19 |
| oiaohm | The CO2 is stored in water. | Oct 18 02:19 |
| DaemonFC | Who gives a shit? :) | Oct 18 02:19 |
| oiaohm | It don't just leak fewa | Oct 18 02:19 |
| fewa | oiaohm, that increases the acidity | Oct 18 02:19 |
| oiaohm | I know. | Oct 18 02:20 |
| fewa | if the pH of the ocean raises, it will kill the coral | Oct 18 02:20 |
| fewa | *lowers | Oct 18 02:20 |
| mutx | yea, store the co2 gas in limestone cavaties, water leaches in, soda water = acid = disolving limestone, = release of vast amounts of co2 gas. | Oct 18 02:20 |
| DaemonFC | well, as long as they can store it where it won't leak and even if it does, it doesn't leech into drinking water or something, we're good | Oct 18 02:20 |
| fewa | pumping is a joke | Oct 18 02:20 |
| oiaohm | But there are orginsimes down in some of those areas that process the co2 as well. | Oct 18 02:20 |
| DaemonFC | it will take about 20,000 years to break down though | Oct 18 02:20 |
| fewa | nuclear is much better | Oct 18 02:20 |
| fewa | but wind, tidal, geothermal are king | Oct 18 02:21 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | also, most of the uranium ore is extracted by open pit means | Oct 18 02:21 |
| DaemonFC | But good luck with the billions of tonnes of CO2 you get from coal | Oct 18 02:21 |
| fewa | DaemonFC, not to mention sulfur, mercury, etc | Oct 18 02:21 |
| oiaohm | Right areas coal power station could operate for 40 years have a gap for about 50 years and be able to fire up again and repeat the process. | Oct 18 02:21 |
| DaemonFC | that will wipe out hundreds of millions of people and thousands of species of plants and animals by the middle of this century | Oct 18 02:21 |
| oiaohm | Do to the orginses under ground using earth heat to deal with the CO2 | Oct 18 02:22 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | there was only supposed to be a 25 year supply of uranium | Oct 18 02:22 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | that is the good news | Oct 18 02:22 |
| DaemonFC | so given the bad options, nuclear power is probably the least bad choice they can make | Oct 18 02:22 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, breeder reactors | Oct 18 02:22 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, you can make all the P239 you want | Oct 18 02:22 |
| mutx | we have nuclear fuels to last us thousands of years. | Oct 18 02:22 |
| oiaohm | No you cannot fewa | Oct 18 02:22 |
| -BNc/#boycottnovell-[davidgerard] Dodgy #wikipedia editing from UK Parliament PC ... again http://bit.ly/IdIls no comment from WMF, but these stories don't seem to need it | Oct 18 02:22 |
| oiaohm | Australia has the largest reserves of nuclear fuel. | Oct 18 02:22 |
| mutx | yes | Oct 18 02:23 |
| DaemonFC | nuclear power will continue for at least hundreds of years or until something better comes along | Oct 18 02:23 |
| oiaohm | Problem we have some if it is not usable. | Oct 18 02:23 |
| DaemonFC | and we'd be doing the next several generations a favor by transitioning to it from fossil fuels sooner rather than later | Oct 18 02:23 |
| fewa | France prooved that it is doable | Oct 18 02:24 |
| oiaohm | The waste from nuclear will be around for 10 000 years . | Oct 18 02:24 |
| mutx | we have alot of a type that is used by a different type of reactor, one that cannot reach critical mass, and that you can just turn off the switch to shut it down. | Oct 18 02:24 |
| oiaohm | At least DaemonFC | Oct 18 02:24 |
| fewa | 90% nuclear, unhit by OPEC and Russia politics | Oct 18 02:24 |
| DaemonFC | oiaohm, 10,000 is the half life | Oct 18 02:24 |
| DaemonFC | it won't be safe for 20,000 | Oct 18 02:24 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | St Vrain was built in Colorado, it was the same basic model as in Russia at Chernoble. using carbon | Oct 18 02:24 |
| oiaohm | 10 000 is safe | Oct 18 02:24 |
| DaemonFC | fewa, That's where we need to be | Oct 18 02:24 |
| oiaohm | If its in a particular form DaemonFC | Oct 18 02:24 |
| fewa | nuclear better than Fossil, woorse than wind, geothermal, tidal | Oct 18 02:24 |
| mutx | very very small volume of waste, that can be safely converted to rock and stored safely. | Oct 18 02:24 |
| fewa | wind is really where it is | Oct 18 02:24 |
| DaemonFC | as cut off from the Oil Producing Peckerheads as possible :) | Oct 18 02:24 |
| oiaohm | Its a natural form that exists in australia DaemonFC | Oct 18 02:24 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | it never was able to operate at 100% during its tests | Oct 18 02:25 |
| oiaohm | We just have not worked out how to produce it effectively DaemonFC | Oct 18 02:25 |
| DaemonFC | or is that Oil Producing PECkerheads? :) | Oct 18 02:25 |
| fewa | you could produce the whole nations power of wind | Oct 18 02:25 |
| *Balrog_ (n=Balrog@166.196.133.8) has joined #boycottnovell | Oct 18 02:25 |
| oiaohm | The insane part is it might take more power to contain the waste at 10 000 years than the power we got out of nukuler. | Oct 18 02:26 |
| DaemonFC | the middle east oil cartels would crash if we got the US on 90% nuclear power and hybrid cars | Oct 18 02:26 |
| fewa | electric cars | Oct 18 02:26 |
| DaemonFC | most of those countries don't have anything else to sell us | Oct 18 02:26 |
| fewa | or plug-in hybrids | Oct 18 02:26 |
| mutx | containing the waste takes about zero power. | Oct 18 02:26 |
| DaemonFC | the arabs are lying about how much crude oil they have left anyway | Oct 18 02:26 |
| oiaohm | Chemical alteration to stablise it mutx | Oct 18 02:26 |
| DaemonFC | they don't want us to panic and look for ways to transition off of it | Oct 18 02:26 |
| fewa | DaemonFC, watch that "who killed the electric car" movie parhaps | Oct 18 02:26 |
| mutx | and far less than trying to pump co2 into the ground. | Oct 18 02:26 |
| DaemonFC | so they're fudging the amount they have and frantically hunting for more | Oct 18 02:27 |
| fewa | Its the US oil companies too | Oct 18 02:27 |
| fewa | and car companies | Oct 18 02:27 |
| fewa | and anyone that wants an excuse for invading Iraq, etc | Oct 18 02:27 |
| oiaohm | Co2 into ground done right is using earths heat to disposed of waste mutx | Oct 18 02:27 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | nuclear power very clean, unless you have a 3mile island or chernoble. And the low grade waste, can be stored underground, where it becomes part of the water supply | Oct 18 02:27 |
| DaemonFC | fewa, Invading Iraq is/was a futile gesture | Oct 18 02:27 |
| schestowitz | Heh. Someone flies fireworks outside | Oct 18 02:28 |
| DaemonFC | if we came for oil, I think they have a lot less than they have let on | Oct 18 02:28 |
| oiaohm | Basically storage and disposal in one mutx | Oct 18 02:28 |
| mutx | what goes in eventually comes out, but with geosequestration it will certainly come out. | Oct 18 02:28 |
| fewa | DaemonFC, Iraq has a _massive_ amount of oil | Oct 18 02:28 |
| DaemonFC | I think the upper management in our government knows it now too | Oct 18 02:28 |
| oiaohm | As oil mutx | Oct 18 02:28 |
| DaemonFC | fewa, They're lying | Oct 18 02:28 |
| fewa | its the last great field of untapped oil | Oct 18 02:28 |
| mutx | why not convert it to carbon and mix it with soil ? | Oct 18 02:28 |
| schestowitz | Maybe they opened their Vista7 'party' pack a week too early | Oct 18 02:28 |
| oiaohm | or other reletated mutx | Oct 18 02:28 |
| DaemonFC | so is Saudi Arabia | Oct 18 02:28 |
| fewa | DaemonFC, its prooven reserves | Oct 18 02:28 |
| fewa | "reserves" | Oct 18 02:28 |
| oiaohm | It costs power to turn it into carbon you have to get the power from somewhere mutx | Oct 18 02:28 |
| DaemonFC | fewa, 25-30 years as an optimistic outlook | Oct 18 02:28 |
| fewa | yes peak oil is coming | Oct 18 02:29 |
| fewa | but Iraq has alot of oil | Oct 18 02:29 |
| fewa | and the US wants control over it | Oct 18 02:29 |
| oiaohm | Either deep under ground and use earths heat or sun and plants mutx | Oct 18 02:29 |
| DaemonFC | that gets us to where? 2035 before we have no choice but to ditch oil anyway? | Oct 18 02:29 |
| fewa | DaemonFC, yes, but rulers do not think long term | Oct 18 02:29 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | we need wind farms everywhere, too bad about the birds it will kill | Oct 18 02:29 |
| DaemonFC | by that point we'll be out or so low that the price for what is left shoots up 20 times | Oct 18 02:29 |

| fewa | short-term profits | Oct 18 02:30 |
| fewa | its just the way they think | Oct 18 02:30 |
| fewa | its wrong | Oct 18 02:30 |
| oiaohm | Wind farms are not exactly safe. | Oct 18 02:30 |
| fewa | it destroys the countr | Oct 18 02:30 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | true | Oct 18 02:30 |
| fewa | wut | Oct 18 02:30 |
| fewa | wind is the way to go | Oct 18 02:30 |
| fewa | what is wrong with them? | Oct 18 02:30 |
| oiaohm | Australia could solve it power problems complete simpley if we were prepard to destory a wonder. | Oct 18 02:30 |

| mutx | big, ugly, enviromentally bad, | Oct 18 02:31 |
| oiaohm | Basically huge hydro tide driven fewa | Oct 18 02:31 |
| fewa | wind is soo clean | Oct 18 02:31 |
| fewa | so cheap | Oct 18 02:31 |
| oiaohm | Creature lost would be nothing. | Oct 18 02:31 |
| fewa | wind is cheaper than coal! | Oct 18 02:31 |
| schestowitz | Seems like the FLOSS show raised the # of visitors temporarily by about 10% | Oct 18 02:31 |
| oiaohm | We would just lose a 100 percent unquie water fall. | Oct 18 02:31 |
| mutx | and so ineffective if it's not windy. | Oct 18 02:31 |
| fewa | if it wasn't for the subsidies | Oct 18 02:31 |
| DaemonFC | oil and coal are so bad and dirty and such a short term answer, that anything else that produces power is a good idea | Oct 18 02:31 |
| oiaohm | Ie it water falls two directions. | Oct 18 02:31 |
| DaemonFC | that's what I think | Oct 18 02:31 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | wind has been proven to be ok. But seriously, California has these big wind farms and turns them off (at least the ones by Palm Springs) because they were killing too many birds | Oct 18 02:32 |
| fewa | mutx, we dont have that problem here cause hydro can even it out | Oct 18 02:32 |
| fewa | really | Oct 18 02:32 |
| oiaohm | There are tides and currents we don't tap. | Oct 18 02:32 |

| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy, Shoot the birds before they can fly into the turbine and damage it | Oct 18 02:32 |
| DaemonFC | of course, duh | Oct 18 02:32 |
| fewa | cause they are so big | Oct 18 02:32 |
| fewa | oh wait | Oct 18 02:32 |
| fewa | i guess at the tips they are turning really fast | Oct 18 02:32 |
| oiaohm | wind is taping air currents. | Oct 18 02:33 |
| fewa | meh, they killed the salmon with the hydro | Oct 18 02:33 |
| oiaohm | water currents are more dependable. | Oct 18 02:33 |
| fewa | oiaohm, which is powered by the spinning of the earth | Oct 18 02:33 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | you need them in places where you get 30mph winds mostly | Oct 18 02:33 |
| fewa | and coorealis effect | Oct 18 02:33 |
| oiaohm | But you get carms in wind fewa | Oct 18 02:33 |
| oiaohm | Lot of water currents are tide driven. | Oct 18 02:33 |
| oiaohm | So are predictable as lock work. | Oct 18 02:34 |
| oiaohm | lock/clock | Oct 18 02:34 |
| fewa | yeah | Oct 18 02:34 |
| fewa | what about waves? | Oct 18 02:34 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | The times without wind you have to have backup plants to produce power | Oct 18 02:34 |
| fewa | how does it work? | Oct 18 02:34 |
| fewa | ive seen a number of models from a long way back | Oct 18 02:34 |
| fewa | locks and dams? | Oct 18 02:34 |
| oiaohm | Waves are wind driven not as predictable | Oct 18 02:34 |
| *_goblin has quit ("Ex-Chat") | Oct 18 02:35 |
| oiaohm | Advantage wind does not have to be near you to get wave. | Oct 18 02:35 |
| fewa | what about inslets? | Oct 18 02:35 |
| fewa | like fjords | Oct 18 02:35 |
| fewa | you could damn fjords | Oct 18 02:35 |
| oiaohm | There is a lot of power in the water ares we don't touch fewa | Oct 18 02:35 |
| oiaohm | Way more than what we need if done right 100 percent clean. | Oct 18 02:36 |
| fewa | oh yes | Oct 18 02:36 |
| fewa | totally possible | Oct 18 02:36 |
| fewa | and possible right now | Oct 18 02:36 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | but it doesn't matter even if the USA had wind farms everywhere. Yes we could become energy independant, but do you really think that the electric companies would pass on the savings to us? | Oct 18 02:36 |
| fewa | only thing holding it back is politics | Oct 18 02:36 |
| fewa | and corporate welfare for incumbants | Oct 18 02:36 |
| oiaohm | Wind farms have major issues with noise and vibrations. | Oct 18 02:36 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | not really | Oct 18 02:37 |
| fewa | Chips_B_Malroy, yeah | Oct 18 02:37 |
| oiaohm | It is possiable to generate power from water with no moving parts. | Oct 18 02:37 |
| fewa | at least here where the electric company is a government program | Oct 18 02:37 |
| fewa | BPA, very similar to TVA | Oct 18 02:37 |
| oiaohm | Ok not 100 percent effective. | Oct 18 02:37 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | they locate they away from people | Oct 18 02:37 |
| fewa | and its not all costs | Oct 18 02:37 |
| oiaohm | Ie coil of wire and send water threw it. | Oct 18 02:37 |
| fewa | alot is getting away from coal pollution | Oct 18 02:37 |
| oiaohm | That the ammout of water in tides | Oct 18 02:37 |
| oiaohm | Is so high non moving might generate enough. | Oct 18 02:38 |
| fewa | "electric companies" is ca misconstruction | Oct 18 02:38 |
| fewa | many corps | Oct 18 02:38 |
| fewa | bonds | Oct 18 02:38 |
| fewa | private investment | Oct 18 02:38 |
| oiaohm | Air cannot be used to generate power without moving parts that effectively. | Oct 18 02:38 |
| fewa | main effector of electric is wall street | Oct 18 02:39 |
| fewa | Enron | Oct 18 02:39 |
| oiaohm | Lightning is not fun stuff to go after. | Oct 18 02:39 |
| oiaohm | Basically we are swiming in power. | Oct 18 02:39 |
| fewa | no and there isn't much power in lightning | Oct 18 02:39 |
| oiaohm | Supprising a lot. | Oct 18 02:39 |
| mutx | and yet we have to dig up dead trees to burn, | Oct 18 02:39 |
| fewa | not that you can capture | Oct 18 02:39 |
| fewa | ltos over lots of space | Oct 18 02:39 |
| oiaohm | Japan worked out if they could aquire 10 pecent of it. | Oct 18 02:39 |
| fewa | just like solar, wind, etc | Oct 18 02:39 |
| oiaohm | They would not need there reactors. | Oct 18 02:40 |
| fewa | you would have to build a massive grid in the sky | Oct 18 02:40 |
| oiaohm | Problem is aquiring the bugger. | Oct 18 02:40 |
| fewa | far harder than solar | Oct 18 02:40 |
| oiaohm | getting the lighting to come is simple. | Oct 18 02:40 |
| oiaohm | Laser guided lighting. | Oct 18 02:40 |
| fewa | and more sporatic | Oct 18 02:40 |
| fewa | much more sporatic than wind | Oct 18 02:40 |
| oiaohm | Being able to store it when it comes. | Oct 18 02:40 |
| oiaohm | That is the problem. | Oct 18 02:40 |
| oiaohm | Its too much power too fast. | Oct 18 02:41 |
| oiaohm | With huge alterations in ammout as well. | Oct 18 02:41 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Roy, that Allen link of yours would make a good story, if you have not already done one | Oct 18 02:41 |
| mutx | very little energy in waves, very little energy in tidal, very little energy in wind, nothing except gas, coal, or nuclear can provide the base load for industry. | Oct 18 02:41 |
| oiaohm | So yep opps bomb. | Oct 18 02:41 |
| oiaohm | mutx: there is more in tidal particular near the equator. | Oct 18 02:42 |
| oiaohm | You are talking 10 metre tides. | Oct 18 02:42 |
| oiaohm | + | Oct 18 02:42 |
| mutx | yes, thats the only place, and how long does a tide change take, 2 or 3 hours tops 2 times a day. | Oct 18 02:42 |
| oiaohm | Its move like a sign wave. | Oct 18 02:43 |
| oiaohm | Move/more | Oct 18 02:43 |
| oiaohm | It is the full day its changing mutx | Oct 18 02:43 |
| mutx | you even been up north and seen the tides up there ? | Oct 18 02:45 |
| mutx | watched harry buttler ? | Oct 18 02:45 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | The only thing I can see about the energy situation here in the USA is this. We are in a depression, and the price of gas is still far too high for the economic times. There is plenty of supply right now, so its monopolies in the form of cartels and corporations controlling the price | Oct 18 02:54 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | And the gov is controlled by these corporations | Oct 18 02:54 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | even if the wind farms came in, these corporations would buy in and control them | Oct 18 02:55 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | until the gov starts to enforce antitrust, and sends people who try to control the markplace to jail, nothing will change | Oct 18 02:56 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Its the same problem somewhat with M$ | Oct 18 02:56 |
| fewa | you could pull this country out of recession by putting detroit to work on wind farms and tide farms | Oct 18 03:03 |
| fewa | and not giving $700 billion to criminals | Oct 18 03:03 |
| fewa | because they are criminals | Oct 18 03:03 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | wasn't that 700 billion x 2 ? | Oct 18 03:05 |
| fewa | $350 X 2 | Oct 18 03:06 |
| fewa | + a few other bailouts | Oct 18 03:06 |
| fewa | *$350 billion X 2 | Oct 18 03:06 |
| fewa | $350 is already gone | Oct 18 03:06 |
| fewa | and the fed wont even tell congressmen who they gave it to | Oct 18 03:06 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I thought both Bush and Obama did a 700 and a 800 one between them | Oct 18 03:07 |
| fewa | oh , maybe | Oct 18 03:07 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I could be wrong, but don't think so | Oct 18 03:07 |
| fewa | well, enough that they could pay off every person's morgage | Oct 18 03:07 |
| fewa | but they wont do that, no | Oct 18 03:07 |
| fewa | cause they have to preserve the system of control | Oct 18 03:08 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | also Bush did a 25 billion bailout to detroit, which staved off the problem till Obama had to deal with it | Oct 18 03:08 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | airlines should need a bailout soon | Oct 18 03:09 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | if unemployment does not improve soon, expect more foreclosures, and therefore more bank loses, the bank will be back for another bailout | Oct 18 03:10 |

| fewa | every foreclosure is a huge loss to a bank | Oct 18 03:12 |
| fewa | they banks would make money if they just renegotiated the loans | Oct 18 03:12 |
| fewa | yet they dont do that | Oct 18 03:12 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | if you don't have income, you cannot pay anyway | Oct 18 03:12 |
| fewa | every person you kick out of a home is a loss to the economy | Oct 18 03:13 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | so only real alternative it to postpone the payments | Oct 18 03:13 |
| fewa | Its jsut an attempt to force a landlord tenet feudal society | Oct 18 03:13 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | we are already slaves to the system | Oct 18 03:13 |
| fewa | The "system" is a joke | Oct 18 03:14 |
| fewa | any system that takes | Oct 18 03:14 |
| fewa | the public's money, and uses to take away peoples houses | Oct 18 03:14 |
| fewa | thats a joke | Oct 18 03:14 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | agreed, but the correct word is corruption | Oct 18 03:15 |
| schestowitz | [02:41] <Chips_B_Malroy> Roy, that Allen link of yours would make a good story, if you have not already done one | Oct 18 03:15 |

| fewa | state governments are far better | Oct 18 03:15 |
| fewa | and might I say, sane | Oct 18 03:15 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | you think? | Oct 18 03:16 |
| fewa | although there are some strong attempts to corrupt them | Oct 18 03:16 |
| schestowitz | [03:08] <fewa> cause they have to preserve the system of control | Oct 18 03:16 |

| schestowitz | Y'know, to dodge bad reputation | Oct 18 03:16 |
| fewa | kinda smells of conflict of interest | Oct 18 03:17 |
| fewa | schestowitz, blackwater changes its name every week | Oct 18 03:17 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | so Blackwater might change its name? Sounds like a page out of the Microsoft manual of renaming failed products | Oct 18 03:17 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | as well as Muslims and other religions | Oct 18 03:23 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | no religion, group, has control of all crazy | Oct 18 03:24 |
| oiaohm | At least insane buddhists normally not a worry to anyone other than budhists religion leaders lifes. | Oct 18 03:25 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | was probably was some crazy budhists at one time, but the examples elude me right off | Oct 18 03:26 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | maybe some of the buddists monks that set themselves on fire in vietman | Oct 18 03:26 |
| oiaohm | See normally not risk to others. | Oct 18 03:27 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | the memory is going, but sometimes I due remember | Oct 18 03:27 |
| DaemonFC | I still wonder what planes the Christians hijacked and flew into buildings | Oct 18 03:27 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | risk to others? fire hazard | Oct 18 03:27 |
| DaemonFC | or what buses they blew up | Oct 18 03:27 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: could happen. | Oct 18 03:27 |
| DaemonFC | or what embassies or ships they bombed | Oct 18 03:27 |
| DaemonFC | etc. | Oct 18 03:27 |
| DaemonFC | oiaohm, But has it? | Oct 18 03:27 |
| DaemonFC | no | Oct 18 03:27 |

| oiaohm | Just not for a long time. | Oct 18 03:28 |
| DaemonFC | seems like with Muslims, it's always some damned thing | Oct 18 03:28 |
| oiaohm | Lot of the Christian crazys hae been terminated. | Oct 18 03:28 |
| DaemonFC | not a day goes by that they don't murder people right and left | Oct 18 03:28 |
| oiaohm | Also Christians have not had moviation to go nuts recently. | Oct 18 03:28 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | like the Sudan | Oct 18 03:28 |
| oiaohm | If you don't watch it sections of christians will turn as bad as the Muslims. | Oct 18 03:29 |
| oiaohm | Miss quoting texts and all. | Oct 18 03:29 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | yes, hate is a virus that spreads | Oct 18 03:29 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | more like 1400 years | Oct 18 03:30 |
| DaemonFC | There's probably been more people murdered in cold blood by Muslims in the last 10 years than by Christians in the last 1,000 | Oct 18 03:30 |
| oiaohm | There have been points were Christians have been worse. | Oct 18 03:30 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | true, the crusades | Oct 18 03:31 |
| oiaohm | There is a big population now DaemonFC | Oct 18 03:31 |
| oiaohm | On percentage of poplutation killed at the time. | Oct 18 03:31 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | but the crusades were a reaction | Oct 18 03:31 |
| DaemonFC | the Crusades were a war | Oct 18 03:31 |
| oiaohm | You are forgetting the taking of the ammericas. | Oct 18 03:31 |
| DaemonFC | the Muslims don't just kill as a part of war | Oct 18 03:31 |
| oiaohm | Where it was fine to kill the non christians. | Oct 18 03:31 |
| DaemonFC | they kill anyone they can | Oct 18 03:31 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | to the closing of the holy lands by the Muslim authories at the time | Oct 18 03:32 |
| oiaohm | Christian vs non Muslim has happened a lot. | Oct 18 03:32 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Most Muslims just want to live a normal life like the rest of us | Oct 18 03:32 |
| oiaohm | Christians are not squeey clean Like the bibble being use to justify killing witches. | Oct 18 03:33 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | how about the "taking of australia?" | Oct 18 03:33 |
| oiaohm | That was a mixture of things. | Oct 18 03:33 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | its all in the interpertation, isn't it? | Oct 18 03:33 |
| oiaohm | Relegion was not a factor. | Oct 18 03:33 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | same with the Koran as well | Oct 18 03:33 |
| oiaohm | Culture problem was Australian. | Oct 18 03:34 |
| oiaohm | The whites did not see that since land did not appear to be farmed that it was owned and cared for. | Oct 18 03:34 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | it was not a religious thing here, unless you mean the pilgrams leaving England because of religous perscution? | Oct 18 03:34 |
| oiaohm | Spanards at the time. | Oct 18 03:35 |
| oiaohm | took native amercians back to prove they were non human so they were right to kill them as animals under the bible Chips_B_Malroy | Oct 18 03:35 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | I will not argue with the Spanards for destroying the Aztecs religion | Oct 18 03:35 |
| oiaohm | Of course the case went against them. | Oct 18 03:35 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | in fact I say they did the moral thing | Oct 18 03:36 |
| oiaohm | Destroying Aztecs religion one thing. | Oct 18 03:36 |
| oiaohm | Killing the population to do it. | Oct 18 03:36 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | smallpox did 80% of that | Oct 18 03:36 |
| oiaohm | And treating the population as worthless slaves. | Oct 18 03:36 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | ah, okk | Oct 18 03:37 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | the "heathen" must be converted and taught | Oct 18 03:38 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | but in this case, taught means enslaved | Oct 18 03:38 |
| oiaohm | Or killed Chips_B_Malroy | Oct 18 03:38 |
| oiaohm | It was bad abuse of bible. | Oct 18 03:38 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | killing is the ultimate form of government control oiaohm | Oct 18 03:39 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | Terrior is a form of control | Oct 18 03:39 |
| oiaohm | Christians have been lucky. | Oct 18 03:39 |

| Chips_B_Malroy | and I do not know how others can help them do that | Oct 18 03:42 |
| cubezzz | a mixture of Science and Religion maybe | Oct 18 03:43 |
| oiaohm | Chips_B_Malroy: sections of Muslim all ready are. | Oct 18 03:43 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | they do not have any central organization, like the pope. | Oct 18 03:43 |
| oiaohm | Muslim is a highly splintered religion. | Oct 18 03:44 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | The Calipah (misspelled sorry) was the last one in charge of the religion, and the muslim empire | Oct 18 03:44 |

| DaemonFC | the chiropractor I go to did wonders for my back and neck, I was walking with a limp for a week and a half after the seizures before I got in to see him | Oct 18 04:23 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | hot tub would be good for that | Oct 18 04:25 |
| DaemonFC | my neck and back were out of alignment, majorly | Oct 18 04:26 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | so a lot more than just musle pain | Oct 18 04:27 |
| DaemonFC | you should have heard him going to work on me, it was like the sound of crunching a bag of potato chips every time he did something else | Oct 18 04:27 |

| DaemonFC | advertising doesn't pay the big bucks they want | Oct 18 04:44 |
| DaemonFC | Why cheapen the brand? | Oct 18 04:44 |
| DaemonFC | they can keep dumping cheap copies on students and teachers | Oct 18 04:45 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | yes, exactly. They would canabalize their own profits | Oct 18 04:45 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | but they are afriad of Google Chrome OS and google apps | Oct 18 04:45 |
| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy, When Vista came out they were giving away free copies of Vista and Office 2003 if you agreed to let them spy on you | Oct 18 04:45 |
| DaemonFC | they shitcanned that program within a month | Oct 18 04:46 |
| Chips_B_Malroy | just as well, they spy on users anyway | Oct 18 04:46 |
| DaemonFC | I really don't have much use for an Office program except on occasion | Oct 18 04:46 |
| DaemonFC | most of the time, it sits there doing nothing | Oct 18 04:46 |
| DaemonFC | Chips_B_Malroy, No, they ask you to join the Customer Experience Improvement Program ;) | Oct 18 04:47 |

| oiaohm | What is always missed with the Gnome and KDE compares is where they are merging. | Oct 18 12:55 |
| oiaohm | Like both are using policykit backends these days. | Oct 18 12:56 |
| oiaohm | Both are using a common sys tray format. | Oct 18 12:56 |
| oiaohm | Basically they are merging very slowly. | Oct 18 12:56 |
| schestowitz | Yes, exactly | Oct 18 12:56 |
| schestowitz | But... alas, it's old news, no? | Oct 18 12:56 |
| schestowitz | I could run gnome-panel over x-session in Windows even in 2001 | Oct 18 12:57 |
| schestowitz | And in gnome I could run KDE/Qt apps nicely | Oct 18 12:57 |
| oiaohm | Both back in 2001 had different incompadible systrays. | Oct 18 12:57 |
| schestowitz | I remember when nedit was my favourite editor, before I started using kate | Oct 18 12:57 |
| oiaohm | That use to glich up or look out of place. | Oct 18 12:57 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: yes, that I remember. systray issues sometimes | Oct 18 12:58 |
| oiaohm | People don't notice the small changes of the merge. | Oct 18 12:58 |
| schestowitz | I used notify icons like xbiff | Oct 18 12:58 |
| schestowitz | In Enlightenment mostly | Oct 18 12:58 |
| oiaohm | It would be better of we could focus on speeding up the merge. | Oct 18 12:58 |
| oiaohm | Common theming format would be really nice. | Oct 18 12:58 |
| schestowitz | I think it's being done. Seigo writes about it | Oct 18 12:58 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: Mandriva sorta does that | Oct 18 12:59 |
| schestowitz | Or maybe kde4 | Oct 18 12:59 |
| schestowitz | Basically, gtk stuff inherits qt settings | Oct 18 12:59 |
| schestowitz | You can see it in the new 'kcontrol' (it's no longer called that) | Oct 18 12:59 |
| oiaohm | That is a little more evil. | Oct 18 12:59 |
| oiaohm | GTK to QT bindings schestowitz | Oct 18 12:59 |
| schestowitz | It has something like "apply colour scheme to gtk apps' | Oct 18 12:59 |
| schestowitz | But kde3 had this too, it did not always work | Oct 18 12:59 |
| oiaohm | GTK does not have a reverse. | Oct 18 13:00 |
| schestowitz | In ubuntu 7.04 I had another phenomenon | Oct 18 13:00 |
| oiaohm | Ie QT to GTK bindings. | Oct 18 13:00 |
| schestowitz | If a GTK app appeared in kde-desktop it would be stripped from style initially | Oct 18 13:00 |
| schestowitz | After a while it would maybe load up the whole theme-ing (?) part and apply skins | Oct 18 13:00 |
| schestowitz | I don't know why | Oct 18 13:01 |
| schestowitz | Maybe a memory management thing | Oct 18 13:01 |
| oiaohm | Both GTK and QT are moving to like CSS based theming. | Oct 18 13:01 |
| oiaohm | Just wish they would put heards togther and design a single file for it. | Oct 18 13:01 |

| Diablo-D3 | all these specific things | Oct 18 14:54 |
| Diablo-D3 | instead of just writing shit in java | Oct 18 14:55 |
| DaemonFC | lots of users use Firefox to get away from Internet Explorer vulnerabilities and so Microsoft ports those vulnerabilities to Firefox with a trojan horse "plugin" | Oct 18 14:55 |
| DaemonFC | Mozilla should blacklist all future versions of this shit too until Microsoft pops up a dialog that asks for the user's informed consent to have it installed | Oct 18 14:56 |

| DaemonFC | I'm pretty sure there are anti-spyware laws in the US, at least in some states that Microsoft has violated | Oct 18 14:56 |
| DaemonFC | for some reason, Indiana has extremely tough laws against junk faxes and telemarketing calls if you're on the opt out list | Oct 18 14:57 |

| Tallken | Diablo-D3: if the plugin it's the one I'm thinking it is, it's installed system-wide and as such you can't disable it | Oct 18 15:00 |
| DaemonFC | Tallken, You can remove it totally | Oct 18 15:00 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft listed the files and the registry keys to delete | Oct 18 15:00 |
| Tallken | Diablo-D3: there was a patch to convert it from a system-wide install to a user installed plugin and then you could disable it/remove it | Oct 18 15:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | Tallken: no, you _can_ turn it off | Oct 18 15:00 |
| Tallken | DaemonFC: I meant using the Firefox Add-on manager | Oct 18 15:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | use the addons panel in firefox | Oct 18 15:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | click the plugin and click disable | Oct 18 15:01 |
| Tallken | Diablo-D3: and you can uninstall it as well? | Oct 18 15:01 |
| Diablo-D3 | Tallken: you dont need to | Oct 18 15:01 |

| DaemonFC | I don't want it on my computer | Oct 18 15:05 |
| DaemonFC | it can easily get re-enabled if you use multiple profiles in Firefox | Oct 18 15:05 |
| Tallken | since you're telling me I can disable it, I assume it was uninstalling that wasn't straightforward | Oct 18 15:05 |
| DaemonFC | or if you use a new profile | Oct 18 15:05 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz: gaming, directx, multimedia | Oct 18 15:09 |
| DaemonFC | forget what they called the category, but that kind of stuff | Oct 18 15:10 |
| Tallken | oiaohm: thx for the confirmation :) | Oct 18 15:10 |
| DaemonFC | at the time I had a pretty fast system, I needed Windows 2000 for it cause I had two processors and Windows 98 had no SMP support | Oct 18 15:10 |
| DaemonFC | so I was using Windows 2000 since it was alpha/beta | Oct 18 15:11 |
| DaemonFC | I kept Windows 2000 on its own partition for years after XP came out | Oct 18 15:11 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't get rid of it totally til like 2006 | Oct 18 15:12 |
| DaemonFC | I don't know if Linux supported SMP around 1999/2000 though, I seem to remember that it didn't, then when it did, it was awful til around the time 2.6 came out | Oct 18 15:13 |
| DaemonFC | bad SMP support was what kept me off Linux well into the middle of this decade | Oct 18 15:13 |
| DaemonFC | Linux is surprisingly scalable now so I have no idea what my excuse is now | Oct 18 15:14 |
| DaemonFC | I seem to remember Microsoft saying that Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Server 2008 support 128 CPUs/cores, and beating their chest that they've tinkered and managed to get Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 up to 256 | Oct 18 15:15 |
| DaemonFC | I think Linux goes up to 4096 currently so I have no idea what they are bragging about | Oct 18 15:15 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: Vista SP2 slipped in some undocumented SMP patches I think | Oct 18 15:16 |
| schestowitz | Yes | Oct 18 15:16 |
| DaemonFC | pre-SP2, it would peg a core before moving to the next | Oct 18 15:16 |
