I don't care what you can do with your pocket camera (which, due to using film, cannot take thousands of pictures and upload them straight to your favourite web service) - I was simply pointing out that there exists products on the market since a while back that works perfectly for the situations you describe.
The issue has more to do with your technophobia than with reality.
Other chemical reactions, caused by other chemical reactions, caused by prodding on your skin, inhalation of some air-mixture, signals coming in from your eyeballs etc.
No one has ever shown something NOT completely deterministic in the chain above. Ask yourself whether you think a molecule in your brain suddenly can decide to go left or right.
No. I think you need to stop treating your Bible as gospel when it comes to science. There's no limit to the amount of possibilities - and thus "one perfect match" is not an unlikely answer.
If you believe in AGW you should know that the troposphere is where it would manifest itself most clearly. Apparently it doesn't.
I do not understand why you think my opinion is based on satellite measurements since 1979 btw. Other interesting things to look at is the PDO shifts compared to the known periodic cycles in temperature during the whole 20th century - or the solar cycle intensities since the 18th century.
Fact is, there's very little scientific support for the AGW hypothesis.
Maybe if you actually read my post you would save yourself from typing that much irrelevant text?
Calculate the number of years just (just!) thorium will provide in the terms of energy. Add advances in solar. Even if you really believe that no other technolgical advances will be made - how much time will that give us?
In theory a lot can happen. I agree with the arguments being pretty convincing though, and I don't doubt for a second that thorium cycle reactors will keep us busy with energy until other forms are successfully harvested:)
Oh what I'm writing is well grounded in science:) One of the points made in the link I gave you was also that we've indeed seen events as "extreme" (which they aren't at all) naturally just in the last few hundred years.
Regarding the so-called warming, you'd probably want to look into the work of Watts et. al. - mapping the different temperature sensor networks and trying to find out why only one of three points to any increase in temperature at all, and the others point to cooling for over a decade now.
Many scientists believe that storms are caused by global warming, but these were came during the so-called Little Ice Age that affected Europe from about 1600 to 1850.
The records also suggest that Europe saw a spell of rapid warming, similar to that experienced today, during the 1730s that must have been caused naturally
Umm no, that's not the meaning of what you wrote. You're free to interpret your own sentence that way if you really want to get away from any form of true assertion.
We're one of those countries that knows that rehabilitating criminals work a lot better than locking them up together with teachers in crime and then depriving them from all forms of normal work when they get out...
(We're a bit worried that things are starting to change due to US "boo terrorists!!!11" propaganda, but... )
As far as I know, Teh Web is using us to do the development. The whole Web 2.0 movement connecting easily made and easily discarded selected-for applications is basically creating a net-intelligence.
Self aware? Sure, why not. We're just under the illusion that we're aware anyway so it doesn't really mean anything.

But what caused those chemicals to be released?
Other chemical reactions, caused by other chemical reactions, caused by prodding on your skin, inhalation of some air-mixture, signals coming in from your eyeballs etc.

Hats off to an excellent post. Much appreciated.
I thought this discussion was about this universe, the one we are in.
No, and that was my point.
If there are an infinite number of universes, there will be atleast one like ours.
No. If you believe that it can be calculated (it cannot) you simply don't know enough about the subject.
(You only need to be unable to answer one single question: How many universes are there?)
No. I think you need to stop treating your Bible as gospel when it comes to science. There's no limit to the amount of possibilities - and thus "one perfect match" is not an unlikely answer.
No it's not "tuned". Out of a quadrillion possibilities ...
I really hope you don't work in anything with "science" in its name.
I live in georegia but i dont see rusia no where not even sound but they says theres tanks should i be worrie

Please go visit the Apache Harmony website, then re-post.

Great - since everything I've posted is about "known or highly probably advances".
(Yes, I've read "Collapse")
Why on earth should we not build our strategy on technological advances? That's the basis for our whole society and it's worked pretty well.

Maybe you should read his book before pretending to know what's in it?
It is.

You do know that the number of scientists who disagree with the IPCC findings by far outweigh the number of signees I hope?

The current warming cycle topped out in 1998 btw, we've been cooling since.
No, they don't have that capability. Please read any beginners book on crypto.
"where that has ever" and "where that has always" are not equivalent. Now go look up which of the above phrases you used.
(You're right in that English is my second, of three, languages. You're still wrong on the actual topic though)
