The ocean level will not be affected by this, as referenced this article. The salt concentration is a lot different between the ice and the ocean, as the ice is composed of fresh water from precipitation. Like the majority of the Antarctic cap, it's already floating.
Look, I keep trying to explain this, but nobody wants to listen to reason. Google's engineering population contains a high percentile of gamers, and they're not taking Gmail out of beta until Duke Nukem Forever is released. Geez, it's the second Slashdot story today I've had to comment in to point out these obvious parallels to the sinister ties between extreme gaming and our everyday lives.
Nah, they're obviously morally opposed to shutting down before Duke Nukem Forever is released, meaning they're going to be around until the heat death of the universe.
Let's cover this one more time. It's not the government's job to protect your public property from being photographed. It's simply not illegal. If your stuff is outside your residence or place of business, it's fair game. Now, I can't physically intrude on your private property, nor would any reasonable person have a desire to. That's a completely different proposition. It's also a bad idea to specifically target any one person on a continuous basis; that would indeed be considered stalking in many jurisdictions (there are some exceptions, in cases where the person in question is a public official or a similarly famous individual).
Rolling past every house in your city and photographing everything visible from the street is a perfectly legal activity, no matter how much you appear to wish it weren't. Again, neither you nor any of your neighbors are special, and you aren't entitled to any sort of special treatment under the law with respect to anything visible from the street. Don't want something photographed? Don't stick it on your lawn. You don't like the law? Work to change it. While I don't support your views, I do support a democratic legislative process.
That's laughable. Good luck getting your local prosecutor's office to agree with you, especially in a case where a company is doing what Google's doing. In other words, you're not special, you're not being singled out, and you have no protection under the law against your public property being photographed. Deal with it.
insure you don't feel you have a right to put pictures of it on the internet
There's no "feel" involved here... I absolutely have the legal right to put pictures of your public stuff all over the Internet. There's not a damned thing you can do about it, either, unless you decide to go the assault route. Which probably wouldn't go very well for you in any event.

You should see what submariners get paid. Sounds about the same lifestyle-wise, aside from the addition of little things like knowing you're cruising around the under the ocean with nuclear ballistic missiles.
You just caused me to have tubgirl flashbacks, and what's worse, it got all mixed up in my head with Captain Picard. Thanks a bunch, I'm off to get a towel.

I assure you, fusion does exist, and it's in everyday use in thousands of homes across America.
The OP was being a bit sarcastic :). I remember times like that; his story brings back some memories of the late 90s.

Does that go well with Coffee Mate?

Yeah, he really EBCDIC'ed it up all right. Especially the minor BITS. Maybe he should drink more JAVA before posting to avoid these BASIC mistakes.
What you need here is an application of New Math(TM).
People route around legislative roadblocks faster than legislators can build new ones. It's kinda what the Internet is all about.

Funny you should say that, it's exactly how I use the "tac" command.
Reminds me of an old submarine joke:
Q: How deep can the most advanced American submarines go?
A: All the way to the bottom*.
* Subsequent surfacing may be problematic.
Well, my boat wasn't filled with Russians; as far as I know, we only had a couple of guys of Eastern European descent :).
Good point, especially for the Russian crew members.

... information discovered in audits by the Inspector General ...
Now, how about the vast amount of information I'm quite certain wasn't discovered in these audits? Remember who we're talking about here.
