Good point - but I think the amount of extra H2O we pump out compared to existing H2O in the atmosphere is vanishingly small, but the extra CO2 we pump out is significant compared to the CO2 in the atmosphere.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. But compared to water vapor, you know, clouds. It's barely anything.
That only makes sense if we were also producing large amounts of extra water vapour to pump into the atmosphere. We're not as far as I know.
However, we are producing large amounts of CO2 that may well be causing a temperature rise. But warmer air can hold more water vapour so the increase in CO2 can cause an increase in water vapour.
Although it's normally not recommended to use the gears for braking. For better control of the car, you should brake first and then move into the right gear.
Not just history but culture, language, attitudes, food, music, scenery (not all the marvels of the natural world are contained in the US), art,...
Yep, there's a lot of natural beauty to see in the US but there's a hell of a lot more of it outside the US plus all the other things that makes travel broaden the mind...

If you want me to buy "Megagame 2" but don't want me to sell my copy of "Megagame 1" in case it creates competition for your Megagame 2 sales, then offer me a voucher for my copy of Megagame 1 (you only need to match or slightly better the price places like Gamestop would pay me). Said voucher to to be used when purchasing Megagame 2 )or another of your product line).
Then when you have my copy of Megagame 1, you can destroy it so it never threatens your future sales again.
Wouldn't it make more sense to use your local library and just donate directly to the charity rather than using the charity shop as a pay-for-loan library ?;-)
They can't produce quality products as cheaply, as reliably, and as quickly as they would like.

Why use screen previews which are bound to be slow and cumbersome. if you need some sort of indicator, why not just use favicons and page title and have something more like ATL+TAB under Linux, Windows, etc.
"the mere fact that they were not realistic representations of human beings did not mean that they could not be considered people", said Justice Michael Adams.
The jury of peers, consisting of Popeye, TinTin, Andy Pandy, Bob the Builder, Elmer Fudd and Captain Caveman all agreed. Popeye was heard to say, "I yam what I yam, and if I yain't a person then what yam I? Just a cartoon figure? I thinks not yukyukyukyukyuk".
So, how bad does a drawing have to be before Adams considers that it is not a person? And isn't there something just a little worrying about the sanity of a Justice who believes that a drawing has the same rights as a person?

Either way, I find it all fishy.

Ba-da-boom!

That's why we need to know CO2 levels.
HR Departments are, quite often, your only route to getting rid of a person in a management position.
They're also, quite often, the reason that person was put into a management position in the first place!
Rubbish, the most efficient way to travel would be a perfectly smooth road going downhill so that we can utilise the power of gravity.
That is why the government should insist that all hills are built downhill and in those states that are flat, convenient hills should be built.

Of course, you might want to open the passport to, say, actually use it as ID. Or maybe just to let something read the RFID chip...

Most Americans never travel outside of North America and have no desire to do so.
Well, at least it's nice to get some positive news in this thread...!

As the US is making plans to send a few kilos of bacteria(*) to Mars, I don't see why a few microbes should cause such concern.
* Estimate of around 2 kilos of bacteria in and on the average human body.

The last time I drove my car into a lake the windows didn't last past 15 feet.
Two questions spring to mind.
Firstly, how deep did the windows last the other times you drove your car into a lake?
Secondly, and probably more importantly, why the hell do you keep driving cars into lakes?!?

He stands for the rights of toons everywhere!
