There were 3 projects all up, but anyway - we must make cable while the sun shines. I want 6 x 1.6 Tbit/s from my house to OnLive.Froggy wrote:no, no it doesn't. It does smack of a publicity exercise though about how they are the only company who can lay this cable thats never been done before.
So how about that global warming?

Re: So how about that global warming?
My friends dad is a geological engineer.
He says him and all his geological boffin friends laugh at claims ice has receded.
It seems any time there's anyone who would know, they think 'climate change' is bullshit.
My experience is any time it's a media darling/liberal crybaby/product of the trendy academic institutions they're alarmists.
Go figure.

Earth Hour. A gesture launched as a vehicle by commercial and non-profit organisations for marketing and awareness. Similar to cancer awareness days, clean up Australia days, gay dance party days. Where it's suggested at the time your actions will 'make a difference', moreso collectively and over time through ongoing awareness and cut-through vs on the day.

Fixed.Earth Hour. A willfully misleading gesture launched as a vehicle by commercial and non-profit organisations for marketing newspapers and promoting an issue with questionable merits.

That's like saying "Advertising cracks me up. So amazingly useless."
The "use" is in getting people to think about their energy consumption.

I think my soaring electricity bill makes me think about my energy consumption.

Read the Crikey link, it was a Leo Burnett-led branding exercise for Fairfax that grew legs. You can disagree with the sentiment of the article but turning shit off for an hour hasn't exactly ushered in a new dawn of responsibility.

People may think about their energy consumption, but they then do nothing about it. At least advertising does something.

LOL, temp-banned from Ars.You have been banned from this board until Sat Apr 07, 2012 6:56 am.
Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.
Reason given for ban: Substance free trolling
A ban has been issued on your username.
My offending post was: "It was a pretty crap article in the first place and this hasn’t made it any better IMO.” regarding an article that accused the CSIRO of being a patent troll and basically never having done anything beneficial ever (the author seemed to be very pissed about their recent win over WiFi patents and they might have had a valid point, but wrote the article as a giant girly bitch fest).
