That too. The Northern Hemisphere rewinders work the other way in the Southern Hemisphere.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Don't buy a cheap one off Ebay. The one I got simply turned the bytes around.

Well that's just stupid, you'd think they would use XOR, so much faster.

Well sure, that's how the Russians do it now, but this one uses an 8008 chip.

I suspect this will descend into a soapbox worthy thread ...

Yes, you are probably right.

Perhaps it would be better off there to start with?

That CO2 follows industrial production?
No, not contentious IMO. Just an interesting indicator of how globalisation has impacted the world.

Oh no it isn't!

Good that China is tackling pollution. It really has done a remarkable job, going from almost third world destitution to one of thee most modern countries in a matter of decades.
I didnt catch much of the Chinese leaders speech, but it seems to have gone down well, and the guy has had some kind of national 'sainthood' bestowed on him, only the third to have had, and the first while still in office, so it seems they are impressed with him.
Of course the benefit of a benign dictator. He can take these long decadal visions for CHina and implement them. In our democracy the governments vision extends to the next election, and consists of nothing but cheap headline grabbing soundbytes.

Are you suggesting other countries should look at doing the same?
I'm sure he would think it's a great idea. The best. Nobody ever thought of it before.

But Singapore is a single city, so the benevolent dictatorship actually works. I don't think it would scale to a real country

I don't want to add much to the soap-boxiness of the topic at hand. Just want to remark that adding nationalism to a socialist leader yields a national-socialist country.

The problem with dictators is that you also get the other kind.

Go back to that options page and click the 'Choose' button next to the text 'Choose which websites are allowed to send you notifications', then remove all websites, and when you go back to the sites that do this make sure to deny notification access.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Oh and - I don't see notifications in Chrome, so I assume that doesn't do them...or I don't visit the same sites you do...hem, hem.
