I'm pretty sure that Australians don't have any actual law given rights at all. i suspect we might be able to legally refer to the Magna carta but after that NADA
Does anyone else have any ideas how we might go about solving the population problem should we obtain the ability to keep people alive much longer and fight back death? A solution that can realistically be achieved in at most, the next 91 years.
Parent's choose to have kids. One child born means the father is then killed. Next child would be artificial insemination by saved semen from the father. Upon birth of second child mother is terminated. Stable population. In cases of triplets or greater then the one with the least weight is killed. Really very simple and humane.
How about this one for a home experiment. Get a big sealed container(try 160 litres) half full of seawater. measure the CO2 concentration (everyone here claims to be an expert so instructions not included) in the container (measure the gaseous part). Increase the temperature of the container 2 degrees over ambient and measure CO2 concentration. Keep temperature 2 degrees over ambient and measure CO2 concentration again at three hourly intervals over a period of 24 hours. This experiment PROVES that if there was no CO2 in the container(and that if it wasn't miraculously increasing(possibly through a wormhole)) the temperature wouldn't have increased at all. it's just so clever and supposedly fabulous science.
I'm pretty sure that is because their computers have already been taken into custody. I am sure you can find the data online to support this. I think the warrants were approved on Tuesday. Check out the CRU website as opposed to the google cache links for website published data it's truly hilarious.
I must apologise for the nine minutes comment before. It actually took you half an hour to prove to the world your breathtaking hat size. The above comment really does show you have a big hat.
So you infer originally that all sceptics are dickheads because the data is so hard to obtain and unwieldy to handle that it would be a nightmare to obtain/whatever with.
Then nine minutes later after your first Google search on the subject proves that you haven't got a clue about that which you write you have the exact same attitude. Have you made your prayers to Al lately?
Funnily, you really need to be beaten with a clue stick as they have already admitted that they have THROWN OUT the original data before they applied adjustments to it all. So good luck with replicating their results from their results.
The problem with the AGW believers and their attitude to anything that doesn't agree with their mindset is perfectly encapsulated by you in just two posts. It's a fucking miracle.
With your reasoning some of the planet's greatest people would never have been ALLOWED to advance science the way that they have. I will take my ability to call bullshit when I hear it over someone standing knee deep in data telling me that I am too stupid to analyse it because a couple of my mates haven't signed off on my work before we hit the pub for a few coldies.

They have actually not used the tree ring data after 1960(1940?) as it has proven to be inaccurate when compared with real instruments. They didn't throw out all the tree ring data though! They are still using it for a couple of thousand years worth of climate reconstruction. So apparently it WAS accurate before the mid 20th century so everything is hunky-dory there.
They seem to not have used the satellites much at all. That's understandable as they were launched to measure the severe global cooling of the 1970s which was plunging us all into a catastrophic ice age(lucky that changed as we were meant to be under three miles of ice at the turn of the millennium).
All ice core reconstruction seem to be proving (for the last twenty odd years) is that CO2 increases follows the rising global temperature with a several hundred year lag between the two (as it takes a while for the ocean to warm enough to release all of that evil and awful pollutant).
And all thermal radiation and sunspot anti-science has done is to prove that climate change appears to have direct correlation to measured solar activity(damn people without the right connections/qualifications).
I agree let's believe the scientists. Starting with the soon to be billionaire who's one qualification to be world climate guru is that he has a degree in the manipulation and adjustment of people's minds.
Hooray - let's all drink the Kool-Aid on the count of three.
I'm getting my i7 and new Mobo in 3 weeks time. Will of course be running Win7(haven't even seen it yet). is that much memory normal? or is it overkill for the average user? I only ask as DDR3 is just so damned cheap at the moment.
I was using virtualbox under latest mandriva. i did a small system upgrade and dropped the hard drive onto the concrete floor so I'm not doing it at the moment.
I am doing a major major upgrade in a few weeks so I am not bothering to set anything up at all bar a couple of games in a windows partition(seperate to work machine) until the goodness arrives.
If you actually bother to boot up and try VirtualBox you will find it very buggy compared to VMware, to the point of being not very usable.
You do realise that you are posting that VirtualBox is crap on/. don't you? Do you have a pecuniary interest in VMware? VirtualBox is brilliant and it performs usually flawlessly(some of the experimental stuff plays up but so what?). Labeling it as buggy to the point of being unusable is an outrageous and untruthful thing to say.
I spent several days trying to get VirtualBox to work for me but there were just too many problems.
I play Left for Dead in a 1024x768 VM on my Linux desktop using experimental D3D on Open Source. Should I be using OpenGL? Am I failing some sort of 1337ness test?
Let's make the car analogy... In Indy car racing, you are not allowed to smash into your opponent over and over again until his car is a smoking pile of metal and then run him over as he leaves the flaming wreckage. This is against the rules.
You could even program his Engine Management System for him so as he might even win the race.

Your C++ info is so 90s.
Just like your birthdate

Why does no one ever seem to get my name?
Your nick is well picked.
Why thank you for noticing.

How about "Why the fuck does it need to be prepared?"
How about "Send me the same data file with the raw data in that you used prior to your doom-laden adjustments?"
How about "Why would you throw out the original data-sets (but not the ones with your adjustments)?"
How about "I don't believe that you didn't have the room to store the original data so try telling the truth"

That would limit my ability to watch family guy, compile a kernel(why do ppl climb Mt Everest?), and frag aliens all at the same time.

VirtualBox is also free to use, it understands VMWare images
and it is a fantastic and efficient virtual machine as well.
there's no sense in playing a game while running 2 operating systems at once.
Why not? Please explain?

What the fuck is it that you american's live in such state of paranoia?
Alexborges, are you suggesting that 9/11 didn't change everything?
No they wouldn't. They would have been chemically lobotomised and put back into society so others could watch them dribble and tremor.
Didn't Intel invent SSE?

Get under the desk you will be safe there. Damn the communists, full steam ahead.
