Well there's nothing radical in saying that as population increased so has lifespan and living standards, we have seen a decrease in starvation and lack of clean drinking water, more people have energy for things like refrigeration, heating, phones and computers. Humanity has never been better and if the next 100 years go like the last 100 we will have solved most of the problems associated with poverty. The modern day Malthusians are just a bunch of luddite pessimists who refuse to look at the empirical facts.
Yes, they share a border. Yes, among the safety and rescue service of each country, including firefighting, there is a strong cooperative effort. I am not too familiar with that, but I know that in Australia we all respond when our neighbours are in crisis. For example, the recent Victorian bushfires saw firefighters from all neighbouring states plus Tasmania, Western Australia and even internationally from New Zealand. What I can't understand is the pathetic obidence to authourity those firefighters diplayed. I know an Aussie firefighter would tell the chief to go fuck himself if put in this situation.
They might be fundamental limits to our present day knowledge, yet we still can't explain over 90% of the apparent energy and mass in the universe (or reconcile classical and quantum forces) which seems to leave plenty of room for optimism.
Australia has had record levels of rainfall in the last year which could explain the lack of dust from the desert. Dust is a large factor with these small particulates, look at the Sahara for instance.
You don't even need that, just go from 'no preferred refrence frame' to the refrence frame of your choosing. I chose Earth, and just proved what that guy did in his 700 page book. Take that Galileo!
Why? Sure, in the vicinity of earth it would be going too far but once you reach an acceptable distance using conventional means what is wrong with the bomb propulsion idea? I assume we're talking interstellar travel here.
Not only that but if you fail in your mission as a virtual American soldier you should be tried and prosecuted for treason and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It's only logical.
It's almost as if there was more than one reason to own an R4 card and you've selectively used a single illegitimate case as a strawman to dismiss all the legitimate uses, which would be humourous given the thread you are replying to if it wasn't so sad because you are serious.
The whole 'press not allowed near it' is bullshit, they don't allow people not involved in the cleanup to get within 10 metres of cleanup operations for saftey, not censorship. If you can't photo something ten metres away you don't deserve to call yourself press.
"At first I thought it would be a complicated procedure to fit the pieces," he said.
"But as it turned out, the bigger plastic pieces were compatible with the smaller ones, and the Lego held itself in place without any glue whatsoever."
But despite their sturdy construction, the artworks-cum-repairs aren't meant to last forever.
"I tried to apply some glue, but, on the dusty patina of the stone, it would not stick," he said.
"So I decided to just put them up like this, aware of the fact of erosion and the influence of weather.
"I like the aspect of temporariness that comes into play."
Parent is not a troll, just outdated. If you RTFA (hah!):
In the 1960s, Nobel Prize winning research by Drs. Hubel and Weisel came up with a critical period during which the optic nerves learn stereopsis – the time up to 7 years old. Doctors thereafter used this critical period as the point-of-no-return for treatment of lazy eye. The old way of thinking was that lazy eye can’t be treated after 7 years old.
However, recent medical science indicates that the nervous system never stops learning and re-learning. Doctors today will tell you it’s never too late to try to treat strabismus – or re-teach the optic nerves the trick of binocular vision. The chances of success may be diminished beyond seven, but there’s still a chance.

Nice way to ignore the fact that he paid every other year he was there. I'm sure you've never forgotten to pay a bill in your lifetime.
Time means money in the world of intergalactic business.
From a man wiser than you: "The only thing I know is that I know nothing".

In Kiribati for starters.
Well did you know islands such as Kiribati have been growing larger despite rising sea levels? http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/03/2916873.htm. It's the warming alarmists who have taken the knee-jerk reaction here.

I would, but then I would be promoting processes and tools over individuals and we can't have that now can we ;)

They remind me of Clarke and Dawe, another great pair of satirists.
They're also not afraid to stand up to pressure from the yanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand's_nuclear-free_zone

There's no glue. From the artist:

Because every single other ISP offers it and more.
