2) Correct, Mars isn't Earth. It is free of human influence and yet still experiences drastic climate changes.
3) Correct, and yet a majority of the proponents of global warming on Earth point to Regional changes (in this case at the poles). Why is this ok for showing global warming here, but not there?
Those were not good talking points to be flinging about.
It's that simple. I'd rather play C&C Red Alert with it's circa 1996 graphics or Alpha Centauri (1999) than a similar 2007 game with awesome graphics and crap content.
Short of Guitar Hero, there aren't any games on the other systems that are as incredibly fun to play at parties or with groups of people. That's what sets the Wii apart. If Microsoft is looking at it's graphic capability for the answer to its success, they're blind (pun intended).
"Two children on a school yard today were found playing cops and robbers. During the exchange, the virtual officer was forced to use his side arm to halt the fleeing virtual robber. The robber has been charge will virtual theft under $5000 for stealing a virtual sum of money from a virtual bank, and the officer's use of virtual force is under investigation by Internal Virtual Affairs."
I hate the idea of child porn as much as everyone else, and think that the work on the distribution ring should be commended. Where does the line get drawn on role playing though? It sounds an awful lot like a witch hunt.
Just because something -can- be detrimental doesn't mean it always is, or that the opposite is necessarily the solution. Being able to forget that time I went out with a real weirdo is great. Forgetting about my wife's birthday... not so great.
The same goes for computers. I'm sure that people wish their questionable forum posts from when they were teenagers spouting nonsensical crap could be automatically deleted, but what about useful information such as technical forums discussing hardware issues. Who decides what will be forgotten, and when?
Creativity and attention to details are both qualities that are valuable. Being creative can help you solve difficult problems that require "out of the box" thinking, while being good with details is valuable for managing time and repetitive tasks.
I doubt I'm going to have an auditorium to do deep thinking in, or a cage to do my routine work in so how is this useful in practical terms?
... Can't we just teach people to take colder showers?
NEVER!!!! I'll compromise. I'll still take hot showers, and I'll have my wife take cold ones. Everybody wins.
I haven't gone through the site with a fine tooth comb, but AFAIK all the information on it is factual. They just cast the information in a light that makes water look evil.
The cablecard makers have vowed that it will NEVER work with linux or regular unblessed MCE pC's. Yeah, because those Linux types are never able figure out how to bypass media company's attempts to control the way we view things. cough
Ok... they think he made a map of his school so he could do terrorist training to attack it... with a hammer?!?! Come on.
Next they're going to go after Microsoft because they're flight simulator is an obvious terrorist training program. Did you know you can crash planes in it? Good God! And their programmers that made the maps of realistic US locations were found with letter openers at their desks. Everyone panic!

He's already having trouble keeping up, and he gets slashdotted.

1) Solar intensity does fluctuate noticeably, and in a known pattern http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/17jan_solc on.htm

It's not a hoax. It's gotten so bad that our blatant disregard for the environment is even heating up mars http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/07 0228-mars-warming.html It's obvioysly us that's doing it. Not that giant orb of fire we orbit.
I don't know what the viewership numbers on the series' are, but I'd hazard a guess that Voyager and DS9 had more simply due to name recognition.
Didn't notice the > missing when I previewed.

2) Change the name of roses to see if it affects the aroma.
...without a single mention of porn. I call shenanigans.

That was not what initially came to mind when I saw Silicon Heaven. I pictured more Pamela Anderson, less Commodore 64's.
...I wanted to be... a LUMBERJACK! And that's ok!

Magazines and newspapers don't force you to stare at the ads for X seconds before allowing you to turn the page.
That's funny, since most pirates I know have more copies of Windows than anything else.
Skynet nods approvingly

So true. Someone told me that breathing leads to death. His empirical data showed that everything that breathes eventually dies.
