I didn't mis-spell anything, I however used the wrong word. I'm not a native English speaker, although my grammar usually surpasses most americans.
You present very valid arguments as to why we should drop the theory about human induced global warming since the predictions made in the 80's haven't been fulfilled. We now know better.
Oh I am doing my part:) A certain company in the US wants me to hold some lectures for them. I won't. My employer might not like it, but they'll have to deal with it.
Regarding "majority" and scientific research grants. Read up on the subject.
Try putting "global warming myth" into Google - and then revise your opinion on whether the "ENTIRE" scientific community thinks it's caused by humans or not.
I think I'm repeating myself for the third or fourth time now. Don't, for a second, think that what's written in the popular press represents the scientific research.
There are lots of climatologists with PHDs who _don't_ think humans have much to do with the current warming trend.
However, your research only gets funded if you think we do, atm.
Interesting sig. I'm one of the millions of highly educated western citizens who protest against this war weekly. I see no reason why I should support the US conquering oil and lucrative re-building contracts, when the US is the biggest terrorist state there is.
Hey - I'm all for the building of new nuclear plants (after all - we can build them today not to produce radioactive materials with a half life of more than ~1000 years) - I see no reason at all to stay with oil. HOWEVER - that still doesn't mean that I will accept various non-factual statements about humans causing global warmings.
Cows are more likely to cause any effects compared to cars.
(Not to mention that 65 million years ago the mean temperature of the earth was 10 degrees celsius higher. I guess the dinos drove a lot of SUVs...)
Ah but you see - the only way to get funds for research on global warming is if you indeed say that humans cause it:) This is well documented - try looking outside the current WellKnownSourceOfJoeDoeInformation(tm) to find it.
There was a huge consensus just a few centuries ago that we were in for global cooling - why do you think the current consensus is somehow more accurate? There are _still_ no factual evidence whatsoever.
Actually - I guess the people who believe in the evidence of human induced global warming (when the increase in radiation from the sun is a much more logical cause) are the same who believe Saddam has weapons of mass destruction..
How can we fight something we don't know anything about? We don't know why the earth is warming up. We do know that this has happened many times before - and has always been followed by an ice age. Maybe what we're doing to combat the warming will increase the cooling? Maybe not?
So - tell me - how do you fight something when you don't know what your actions will end up causing.
Asthma (aswell as allergy) has risen since we live in homes that are too tightly sealed, and we have no contact with the outdoors as we used to have. Read up on how to NOT have kids with allergy against pets... (answer: give them pets).
Evidence of global warming caused by humans? Where?
All I see is the same thing that has happened on a regular basis since a million years back.
And before you start jeering and making stupid jokes about it, remember that only 30 years ago the idea that human pollution could affect our athmosphere and the seas, was regarded as utter nonsense and hysteria.
It still is. As it turns out in reality, the 20th century was the one with the least chaotic "earth weather" and we now try to use _that_ as a baseline for "how it should be".
It won't work. The earth has a weathersystem totally independent of what us tiny humans do. Read up on the "small ice age" just a few hundred years ago, or where the "dark middle ages" got the nickname from.
"Global warming" is a myth. A popular one, but a myth nonetheless. "Global cooling" - which was popular a few centuries ago - is actually more likely to happen.
Neither the PS2 nor the GC lacks any hardware to do any of those things. Maybe you should read up on what companies like SEGA and Gamespy are offering developers for other consoles?:)
All those XboxLive things are done in software, and can be done on the other two consoles as well. The difference is that the developers have a CHOICE on the PS2 and GC - on the Xbox they MUST use what Microsoft offers.
There are and will be totally free online-games on the PS2 and GC. No monthly fee, no "XboxLive" fee. You do know that most of the games on XboxLive are hosted by other players? Yeah that's right. You're paying Microsoft for the privilige of having someone on DSL host a game for you..
On the other hand - maybe you're just an Xbox-fanboy. If so, don't bother replying.
GEMDOS was first used in Apple's Lisa computer, and later, as homecomputers came up, in Atari ST series. In both GEMDOS were the base for Digital Research's GEM graphicle user interface, which became very popular with the introduction of the Atari ST.
If you, like me, knew that Symbian implemented its own try/catch _before_ it even existed in C++, then you might understand why.
(Several of the constructs in Symbian (Epoc) predated their equivalents in C++)
Since I've developed on Symbian since 1998 I have no problems with what you describe, but that might be to me being a Symbian employee for a few years also;) (Nowadays I'm consulting.. )
Symbian-greg? Anyway.. I actually do consider Symbian OS to be that good. Sure - I haven't developed on _all_ systems, but quite a few.. and I'd take Symbian OS any day if I could choose.

The US needs the world more than the world needs the US. Look it up - you might be surprised to find out that it's indeed the truth.
Bush said he lied.
The inspectors didn't find any.
Bush said it didn't matter.
The UN said the inspections should continue.
Bush started a "war".
The 3650 runs Series 60, the P800 runs UIQ. The base in the 3650 is Symbian 6.1, the base in the P800 is Symbian 7.0.
Lots of similarities, but also lots of things different. I myself appreciate the increased resolution and touchscreen of the P800.

Umm
If you really believe that - boy are you in for a surprise.
Think about it.
(and yes, the USA needs the world more than vice versa - that's a fact and please verify it before responding)
I'm also seriously doubting the story about placing a phonecall via external connection over bluetooth.
Then let's wait for Bruce having to admit he should've read more about it first :)
There's nothing wrong with the security of bluetooth. Frequency-hopping and encrypted, just as a start.

Who else should do it?
I have one - you should have one too.

I'd say it looks pretty Motorola, not Sharp.
