Eh, I was never a big fan of the series, but I would think that if the original game has something "special" to it, it will retain that quality no matter what happens in the future. If you don't like what gets released in the future, just excise them from your fanon- barring non-Novikov-compliant time travel, the original games can't be ruined.
Annoying, yes. Especially when they can't get their stereotypes straight- ask any evangelical if decimating humanity would be an effective method of conversion.
Hey, I'm an evangelical. No, it wouldn't be. And trying to force God's hand isn't a very faithful act anyway, is it?
Never? Not sure how old you are, or your health conditions, but I'd guess you could expect at least forty more years.
Sure, may be wildly optimistic, but, as the elementary school motivational posters say, "Shoot for the Moon- even if you miss, you'll land among the stars!".
Until they identify the mutations leading up to something that was absent before, there's no evidence of innovation- how does one know that the line didn't originally have the ability? The ancestors could have had it disabled by a rare mutation or two, and then outcompeted their non-streamlined cousins in a citrate-deprived environment. X amount of time later, the corresponding counter-mutation or two occurs, and the ability is reenabled.
The Raiders of the Lost Ark example, while derivative, is also a substantial transformation/reimagination of the original, as well as falling under some people's definition of parody.
From what I understand, the Lexicon is mostly paraphrases and direct quotes with a smattering of annotations.
Money's an issue, but perhaps it could be offset by growing crops. Or, to sink the carbon better, lumbering.
The stability issue could perhaps be handled by turning it into a money one- the surrounding countries may be willing to sell their claim to a chunk of desert if the price is good.
Hmm... now I'm thinking about desalinization. Solar energy should work quite well- especially if one applies it directly by focusing sunlight into a black tank with a vapor guide heading for your crop canal.... Depending on the temperature, humidity, and how far from your crops you're performing the desalinization, the vapor guide could be your canal.
Ah. Fell into one of my own peeves there- the vagueness of the term "evolution".
Natural Selection is science, as is mutation. No contest there. Viruses "evolve" in the sense of generational change, but I am unaware of any innovations; the coat proteins shuffle in ways that may be harder for the immune system to detect, but they don't gain any function. Similarly, certain bacteria get protection against antibiotics, either by lifting code from another bacteria or by dumping the system that the antibiotic targeted.
So, one chapter out of at least 20? That is a small section. If it were truly the core of biology, it would be mentioned in Chapter 1 (maybe 4, at max), then developed throughout, tying everything to it or a derivative of it in some detailed way.
While technically this is a fallacy, there's no reason to believe otherwise,
Until somebody can propose a genome-level mutation chain leading to, say, a sparrow, (just needs to be plausible; no need to prove it's the actual series of events), there is no reason to believe in the validity of the statement either.
Maybe you've found better resources, but every phylogeny example I've seen goes into no further detail than describing a mutation's effects; it never says what genetic change(s) could produce that effect.
and certainly no reason to believe there's an omnipotent being controlling things.
Many people have personal experiences that they would consider reason to believe such. Such reasons may not be applicable to others, but they are definately applicable to one's personal viewpoint.
Really? In the biology books I've seen, evolution gets a small section; in the few sentences referencing it elsewhere in the text, you could replace "evolution" with "God" or "Chuck Norris" and have an equally useful statement. "The flower's thin neck and the hummingbird's bill are adapted to each other's shape through evolution." "God designed the flower neck and hummingbird bill to fit together." "The hummingbird once mouthed off to Chuck Norris. He pulled its lips so hard, they're still like that. Good thing for it that Chuck Norris doesn't like flowers either."
A few of the better examples will have a section on how the distribution of a population with a spectrum of traits can shift in response to external forces, but take it for granted that such a spectrum is indefinitely malleable, as though you can just flip a bit in the genome and change a "1 ft neck gene" to a "1.2 ft neck gene", or nudge a vertex somewhere, leading to a skin depression around the photospots.
Sure, I believe that there exist beneficial traits that can be derived by mutation chain from other traits, but it would be a logical fallacy to then assume that every trait in existence can be so derived from an original set.
They copy and paste the agreement from another product- it's easier than having to rewrite the legalese, and if any embarrassing mistakes like this are made? Like you said, the Internet(tm) will find them for you.

Yeah, I'm using Vista. Cascading and tiling both work; I'm guessing it has something to do with different window APIs being used on each OS. (On Vista, the space around the tabs has the same glassy look as Explorer.)

The only case where that says the URLs you send are sent are when you use the suggest feature/usage stats. Disable those, and all that is sent are the URLs that failed to reach anything.
Yeah, 3D may take a while, but I now see a path to it- 3D support for the canvas has already been faked; I did a simple (if dirty) 3D Globe once, and the Wii Opera SDK has worked hard on more optimized stuff.
Now, here's the neat part- the Wii SDK has been focusing on the rather low-memory, somewhat inefficient Internet Channel, but it is compatible with other browsers... including, at least according to some quick experiments, Chrome.
And with V8, it runs blazing.

2016 certainly wouldn't...

Salt doesn't evaporate; it would have fallen out of the clouds while they were still in the ocean.
Not to mention that the irrigation of the Sahara would be a ridiculously awesome piece of engineering.
Look on the bright side- you can surround your house with a firewall and have a barbecue! Just like in the movies!

Evolution is archeology. Natural selection is biology.
One's history, one's science.
Err... it already does that- under "Weather", there are checkboxes for cloud cover (worldwide) and radar (limited to U.S & Europe).
I'm looking at Hanna, Ike, that splotch that may become something, and Josephine right now, and can see Gustav's remains in Canada. Pretty cool.
