Anadivine - Adding Insult to Industry

Blue Screen Of Death. Your problem could be based on any number of network or software issues. My own system occasionally gets an IE window just sitting there soaking up nearly 100% of the processor time, while not actually doing anything.

I'm not sure. You could check with Supercanuk, he's out there alot. I figure if I go, the tickets will be through him anyway.

-Early, small involvement with Sonic Mayhem (which I later found out was a Trent Reznor thing). -Late elementary school: First individual band I ever really liked was Matthew Good Band, after I got Underdogs as a gift. Spiraled from there. -Early high school, a friend of mine brought in a CD of random electronica/trance. Astral Projection, the kings of Goa trance caught my attention. Spiral again, to encompass most electronic genres, from chillout to psychedelic to deep house. -About a year ago, a formerly active member of this forum introduced me to Nine Inch Nails. -Progressively been getting into some punk rock type stuff lately...Anadivine most lately, Rise Against, etc. -A little of everything else, really...I grew up with my parents listening to alot of Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, and so on....so that's in there too. None of these have ever been 'phases'. I still like all of it.

The great thing about having too much Vodka is that it seems relatively sterile on the way back up. It may hurt like a mofo, but it doesn't taste rancid.

Good man.

Yeah, I get both from the LCBO here. Imported from Russia, both by the same company. A buck or two more expensive than Polar Ice as far as I remember...for 750ml I suggest giving it a try, but it'll also depend how you drink it. Mixed in another beverage, I doubt you can tell the difference unless there's a high ratio of vodka. I for one, like a shot of vodka straight from the freezer, in which case I can definately tell the difference. Azalroth knows the score. Ah, and when I said I hate Banff Ice, I meant 'for vodka'...I'll still take that over most har liquors.

Was all about the Polar Ice until I found Stolichnaya...and to a lesser extent, Moskovskaya.

Yeah, that's the stuff. I hate that stuff, but that's not to say I won't drink it if it's the only thing going.

Douse with vodka. fin. But use cheap horrible stuff like Alberta Ice. Don't be wasting no Stoli on that.

Uh, eighteen-hundred

Very well then...chances are none of this will make sense.

Indeed. True, if we had a perfect system, they would be not neccessary. But I guarantee we will never have that system.

Yeah, I saw that one the other day. Worst Bond movie ever.

There's the high-atmosphere blimps...they've had the same idea involving solar panels. And again with a space-borne solar farm, either enormous mirrors reflecting light 24 hours a day to a ground-based solar collector, or collection in space, and then microwave beam transfers of that power to a ground station. Which in my mind raises the military applications of a space-based, earth-striking energy weapon...or at least a shorter-ranged threat to other satelites, maybe an SDI defence kinda deal...ICBMs and such. But again, the issue is really figuring out how much other, less clean power is used to manufacture these solutions. They've got the same problem trying to figure out if Biodiesel and Ethanol fuels are actually cleaner - since they use so much fossil fuel during the processing, the conmtrustion of facilities, etc. Then of course you've got your tidal/wave generators, hydroelectric, and geothermal. In any case, I want an orbital weapons platform.

Corruption is the new Integrity. And by new, I mean it's been like that for a thousand years. Force is an unpleasent neccessity. Say it while you can, I guess, because the plague of politcal correctness is ever spreading.

We're all going to get prices on our heads.

Yeah, lame.

Department of soul collection, here. I spend most of my time (when I'm not working) on google news or reading about whatever the hell interests me that day. Today, it was nuclear fusion reactors.

Nuclear disaster and contamination seems to be pretty much always a direct symptom of mismanagement. Solar panel farms in plains/unused desert areas...particularly those which track the sun...seeme like a good idea. But it's hard to say what the cost is, really. At least not until it's been used fairly widespread for a while... Same with massive wind turbines, since those invariably get stressed into self destruction after a fairly specific number of years. That, and the wildlife people get to face off with the clean power people when the turbines chop up a flock of migrating birds. Ahhh, environmentalists at war... Now there's also the Tokamak fusion test reactor. From what I understand, they got the thing to work, too, some years ago...so I'm not entirely sure what the holdup is in building full-scale fusion plants. Thermally self-limiting, no chain reaction a la fission...etc. After a small amount of research, it looks like ITER is suggesting they could have a plasma fusion reactor ready in...ten more years. Bah. I want my cheap and limitless power NOW.

Death Eater? Neat.4 edit: Wait, it's a trick! Damn you itchy!

I wouldn't. It has its problems, but they all do. I've never had a problem with nuclear power in general...considering the number of reactors out there, the single catastrophic Chernobyl incident isn't all that bad a track record...percentage wise, anyway. That was an experiment gone wrong. I'm waiting to see nuclear powered civilian cruise chips... Oddly enough, Toshiba's been working on a miniature fission plant which allegedly cannot melt down. http://hyvin.nukku.net/no/toshiba.html
