Note that the Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC), in its Article 1, defines climate change
as: 'a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to
human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere
and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over
comparable time periods'. The UNFCCC thus makes a distinction
between climate change attributable to human activities altering
the atmospheric composition, and climate variability attributable
to natural causes.
Could not find "Framework Convention on Climate Change" Link this time, but a year ago I could and if you Google enough you should be able to find it.

So, they made up some numbers or some else gave them some or they went against their guidelines.
I have no idea which of above it true, but their guidelines says they will only look for human causes of Global Warming. Tim S
The IPCCC was only looking at human causes of Global warming; if you do not look for non human cause you are not likely to find them.
But, I do agree we need to look into reducing CO2 because it is the easiest thing humans can control if Global Warming becomes a real bad problem. Therefore, I am for Nuclear Power plants they are known to work and can reduce CO2 levels by replacing the Coal Plants and maybe the oil plants.
(The Oil Power Plants are easy to turn off and on; this fact makes them hard to replace with Solar, Wind, or Nuclear Power plants. We really need better power storage systems to replace all Oil Power Plants.)

Windows 7 To Be 'Thoroughly' Tested For Antitrust Compliance
I for one do not trust "Windows 7" since it is really Windows version 6.1 or 6.2.
I say it passes my "Antitrust Compliance" test; because Antitrust means NOT trust, right?

I would like to know how much is an Technology decision and how much is marketing on the 64/32 bit Windows OS issue. Since WinXP 64 had little in common with WinXP 32; it was based on Windows 2003 instead of XP. Is it all marketing jargon? Tim S
Where the hell do you think that UN aid goes? Look it up sometime. And until you do, you've been too lazy to comment on the issue, so don't.
When it goes to help the people it is OK in my opinion; but, when it goes to help keep the corrupt leaders in power who created the problem through mismanagement or on purpose, I considered a waste of money. Tim S
"reduce our carbon footprint" (whatever the hell that's really supposed to mean, BTW; to some that means 'removing as many humans from the planet as possible')
This brings up an idea I had; should Assassins be allow to form an Corporation to sell carbon set offs? Tim S PS: I consider "carbon set offs" to be wrong thing to do.
FYI:
It looks like the White House IT Team was doing a good job. But, the transition team was not; note I am assumes the "White House IT Team" was not the "transition team". Tim S

Still, shouldn't TFA still mention that the process still DOES produce pollution?
If it is efficient enough it does NOT produce air pollution; carbon dioxide is not pollution.
Carbon Dioxide is a green house gas; but green house gas does not mean it is a pollution. Tim S
The pellets are dropped into the aforementioned downdraft gasifier, which breaks them down under high heat into a mix of methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Finally, this "syngas" is sucked into a generator or microturbine to make electricity, or piped to a furnace to make heat.
The summary has the idea that carbon monoxide is NOT an green house gas. While, this might be true the gas is then burned which should result in carbon dioxide.

I agree not much difference, but the left complained loudly about spending too much on Bush inauguration. I figure in 8 years the left will complain loudly once more. Tim S
34. Viewed together, three main facts indicate that Microsoft enjoys monopoly power. First, Microsoft's share of the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems is extremely large and stable. Second, Microsoft's dominant market share is protected by a high barrier to entry. Third, and largely as a result of that barrier, Microsoft's customers lack a commercially viable alternative to Windows.
Do they have to retain all spam messages too? If not, who determines what is spam and what isn't?
I do not like the idea of my e-mails on vital issues on various topics being considered spam; it is more correctly called unsolicited e-mail; except the emails I did solicited someone. j/k Tim S.
That is extremely doubtful. 99% of the time, you would not do that. It isn't like we used to run to the library every time we wondered, say, who "sarah palin" was. (Top search for 2008.) In most cases, we just remained ignorant.
That leads to the idea that ignorant people are more energy efficient; that does not sound right to me. Where am I making the flaw in logic?

While it may not be superior, it wouldn't be inferior, either. I'd point at Native Americans for a good example of respect for nature, while not starving.
The Native Americans sure "respected" the Woolly Mammoths; till they killed them all off.

I understand the "places of work" because they paid me money. But, if the universities has the right to my work, then I have the right to be paid minimal wage for my time for both the good and bad ideas I develop. Tim S
That is what is meant by some people when they say "integrated component" that it was linked in a way that they say violates GPL/NON-GPL code linking terms. It used to be that Dynamic linking of GPL and NON-GPL code was allowed as long as the GPL was not an required component of the software; I have no idea how the new GPL states it. Tim S
