So now show me the proof that carbon dioxide is a (I won't even stoop to claiming it's "the") direct cause of our current global warming. Without a computer model. And by the way, your model better also accurately explain "The Little Ice Age" and the big warming spike in the middle ages, both of which were larger fluctuations in temperature than the one we're seeing right now.
You seem to think that despite my commentary to the contrary that I am against reducing CO2. Here's a hint: I'm not. But your argument "The CO2 is growing so it's obvious" makes your own bias pretty apparent too--you are a Believer and therefore anything I say to demand rigor in your results is just "bias or ignorance".
You do a masterful job of providing an example of what I was talking about in my original post.
I'd go even further, as a GW skeptic, and say that I accept the fact that this warming we see is unprecedented in our RECORDED history, but since that's really only a few hundred years when you're talking about significant climatological data, that doesn't mean much about whether 1) it's unprecedented at all ever and 2) whether we can say anything meaningful about its causes. And #2 is the damning one for the global warming chicken littles.
It's also worth noting that there are plenty of good reasons to reduce our omissions of all kinds of pollutants. The problem is more about the GW zealots claiming to have found the one true answer and treating everyone who disagrees or wants more proof than a computer model as a moron, trying to shut down debate because they're RIGHT. Hm. How often does that behavior get projected negatively on the right?
Can you imagine they make it into another Men In Black?
Complete with Men in Black music in the trailer. Dunno if it's all the way through, but the end definitely is. Jury's out. I'm not going opening weekend though.

You missed the part about "rent it, dupe it, burn it, return it", right? THAT's the BIG problem, especially now with even Sony making a dual-layer DVD burner that you can find street priced at about $80. Don't even need DVDshrink with that bad boy.
More patches can actually be BETTER, because it means that problems are being found AND FIXED. Now, if there are more issues to begin with, then it's not better, but I'd say a stock linux box on the net without patches will run a lot longer than a stock windows box in the same situation.
"It seems grunge music has fizzled out after being hyped as the next big thing in the 90's"
Come on. Mega-popular genre music comes and goes all the time. It doesn't mean that the core isn't still out there and still making music, waiting for their next go round in the "big big big" sphere. Other responders have pointed out plenty of electronica that is current, so I'll leave it to them.
you have to continuously remain connected even when playing the single-player game.
Bullshit. I played HL2 all the way through on my laptop. My laptop connects to the net with wireless, which has a manual switch on it, that I sometimes forget to turn on. If I turn it off and forget it, when winders boots, I have NO internet connectivity at all.
Nonetheless, the game played just fine. It prompted me to say "do you want to play in offline mode"? And I said "yes" because another reboot wasn't necessary.
Try talking about something you actually know something about next time.
Those fuckin bastards at Valve have been stealing my rights for too long. It's about time someone gave it back to them. It's been too long since they sucked my life away with the original game, and I'm damn tired of it!
You said in three words what the author took an entire article to say. You, sir, must be a genius. Either that, or the article's author (not to mention someone who'd bother to submit it here) is an idiot.
Hey kids! Guess what? Gnu tar doesn't interoperate (reasonably) with "normal" tar! Maybe Gates has a point, despite being the pot calling the kettle black.
the bloodthirsty savages who roamed these lands and fought battles against settlers where they killed men, women, and children indiscriminately.
Good thing he wasn't talking about Europeans either. You know, those people descended from a bunch of bloodthirsty savages who roamed Europe for hundreds of years fighting and killing each other indiscriminately.....You've heard of the thirty years war and similar things, right?
Nice try, but a misspelled nick and clear and deliberate misunderstanding of the difference between "The FSF" (an official organization) and "FSF zealots" don't really rise to the level of any kind of point.
Either the OSI did a really sloppy job in proofreading licenses before they approve them; or their agenda is questionable.
Or perhaps it's y'all with your hippie communist attitudes that have the agenda that is questionable. "We hate Sun, therefore nothing they propose short of complete capitulation to our license and our goals is going to be good enough." That's what I keep hearing from the FSF zealots.
All the "wireless speaker" solutions I've tried (about 3? been a while now) sucked ass. Too much interference, even from just where your body is as you walk through the room. Just do the wiring, as you say.
Maybe if the editors were doing their JOBS that they get PAID FOR, they'd have recognized this fact and only let one story through--the one that would best meet the expectations of their audience.
Oh wait, we don't have any expectations, because they behave like morons 90% of the time.

It's TUESDAY, Tucker!

The physical process is legit. That doesn't mean it's mass produceable, something with the JAP probably doesn't give a damn about.
Sun (the celestial body) rises in the east, and sets in the west.

if they laid off ALL their employees, their liabilities would be zero and their profits infinite!
Because after all we know it's a sin against RMS to run a business.
Of course, because nothing is ever good enough unless it's the full on kool aid.
