And in terms of being able to fight the military... yes, that is part of who we are too. Government oppression is always something we are acutely aware of and prepared to defend ourselves against. bullshit. If this were the case, you would have started fighting a long time ago. The fact that things have gone so far points to the fact that Americans generally are a bunch of slovenly pussy bitches (military personnel excluded altho not entirely)
"As a result of the loss of water, the geological evolution of the surface of Venus slowed right down because it was unable to develop plate tectonics like the Earth."
this article has to be the worst and least scientific ever linked to on/.
awful, just awful.
anthropogenic sources constitute less than 1% of CO2 emissions
therefore the idea that humans are driving or even contributing to "global warming" or "climate change" (a redundant phrase, since climate is in a continual state of flux, more likely due to factors beyond our control) is sheer arrogance at worst and delusional at best...some of the posts here remind me of that Tom Cruise scientology video.
Venus is not the Earth nor is it even a close approximation
What rubbish. So many know-nothings on/. say "Linux is a server OS" when they really don't have a clue.
Linux can be whatever you want it to be.
Debian is a great foundation for how many distros I lost count. Ubuntu is not really advertised as a server OS and every PC I have tried it on works better than whatever MSOS it had before. Even when I go back to XP, it is so much slower and buggier that Ubuntu makes it look like a real dog, which really opened my eyes coz I thought I had stripped my XP install back to the bare minimum and got it going as fast as it was possible to get that computer to run. Even my download speeds have increased 150-200% since using ubuntu and this is a consistent factor, not a transient connection issue. I know linux is not for everybody, but it's mostly those types that think because they know how to work the OS, they know "all about" computers.
What I say to these people is "You think they use windows to run the space shuttle?" hell no, but they have used debian in the past;o)
just try telling them you're running ubuntu on your macbook because you think mac OS sux...they don't know what to do...you...acknowledge the hardware...but...not...the...software...damn...this...person...is...making...me...THINK!! make it stop NOW!
Puts them in an infinite loop...and they feel like they're in the twilight zone
CAn't wait to tell the next one I run vista on my macbook air (which i don't and don't own) just to see the reaction
Same here...why the fuck do I have to keep ringing them up to activate something I already paid for? Oooh that's right, I'm only leasing a license or some such semantic bullshit. I've learnt a shitload more about OS's and computers in general since I ditched windows and ubuntu is so easy to get going I bet MS are crapping their pants that their days are numbered. IMO MS will go the way of the dinosaurs and linux based os's will be the future. They certainly seem to have caught up a lot in last year or 2.
What? Our oceans are nowhere near 1300deg.
To sum up, gas giants are places of extreme violence and danger to anything living. The force of gravity alone is many times larger than here on Earth and the weather puts the Earths weather to shame in terms of violence. Then theres all the radiation from charged particles trapped by the magnetic fields that such planets produce (at least in the solar system) that would fry most things as soon as they got a start. Chances there are life on any of these types of planets is there, but it is vanishingly small.
IMO there is a better chance of life forming in the near vacuum of space and we all know how likely that is and if we don't, then we need to read more.
My Japanese wife says that if they stopped selling it in Japan, no - one would notice or even care...it's more of a curiosity than anything else, and it was the damned americans who suggested and helped them get their whaling practices underway post WW2
There is only 1 village in Japan that has whaling as a tradition. That's right... 1.
yeah true, christians just invade sovereign nations based on lies and kill and displace many innocents based on more lies
that's much better than islamics who kill a few thousand in one event every 100 years, yes, I see your logic...you think 1 + 1 = 10^24
do any undergraduate study of the atmosphere
the fact is "my fact" that you point out isn't just my fact, it's scientific consensus
Look it up before talking shit, especially to someone who obviously knows more than you
the idea that human emissions of CO2 is responsible for any kind of effect in the global atmosphere is sheer arrogance at worst and delusional at best....i hate reading peoples concern about "global warming" and "greenhouse gases" here on/. or anywhere else that is supposed to be being read by informed people.
the most important "greenhouse gas" is water vapour so maybe we should cover up the oceans so that all that nasty greenhouse producing water vapour will not reach the atmosphere?
Stupid, stupid , stupid.
Get the facts before you get on the bullshit bandwagon.
I studied at Auckland university physics dept and the HOD said that all that G.M'ers found where errors in the data that they ASSUMED were planets. The amount of microlensing attributable to a planet is indistinguishable from noise in the data...most of the blips we saw in the data were smaller than the error bars.
Slashdot Mirror
Improving the quality of TV is like improving the quality of shit...at the end of the day it's still shit.
stupid fucking question
perhaps the largest pile of idiotic shit ever to appear on /.
Gravity polarized light? You need to shut up and do some research.

So for you 3,000 is "a few" I'd hate to hear your idea of a lot I nominate this post for the most retarded thing ever said on the internet.
Probably about 5 at the rate the US govt is losing money over there
I agree.
And surely this fungus has been in existence for a while before we discovered it and would have wiped out crops by now at least.
I have a feeling it's some bio-war project as one may notice that many of these new strains of this and that tend to originate in africa

all religions use intimidation to get their way whether it is by law suits or by threats of hell and eternal damnation.
yeah some of us got ours GIVEN to us maybe if you spent less time in your parents basement or under a bridge, you might get more presents :oP
ha! some of us got ours GIVEN to us
:P
maybe if you spent less time in your mom's basement (or under a bridge) you might get a few more presents...

Gravitational microlensing is bunk.

The amount of microlensing attributable to a planet is indistinguishable from noise in the data...most of the blips we saw in the data were smaller than the error bars.
meh
I was gonna read your post but it reeked of tedium after the first line.
