and saw a translation of Cory Doctorow's Little Brother, which I read in the original some time ago.
And I thought, reality is actually worse. I could tell from the tone that the author was angry when he wrote that book - how does he feel now?
Thank you. That's the precedent I was thinking of. From TFA, it looks like BlueWave said something like that, probably put in more polite terms. Anyway, the troll did as requested:-)
Other than Alaska's armpit (to coin a phrase), pretty much all going up, mostly in the 0-3mm/year range, but a hell of a lot of yellow and quite a bit of red. What exactly makes you claim it in some way debunks TFA? It appears to support it at first glance.
It certainly does. The sea level is decreasing where there is still a significant land rise since the previous glaciation - i.e. the continental plate is bobbing up from where the ice pushed it down. Note especially in the bay between Sweden and Finland.
Almost all measurements in mid-ocean show data consistent with TFA,
Who knows, it might even bad enough that we notice some of the effects within the lifetimes of our grandchildren.
Come out of your cave and look around. We're already seeing the effects now.
Spring is earlier year by year. Glaciers are retreating. The entire surface of the Greenland ice cap shows melt in summer. Plant and animal species are moving north and towards high country (because they can, not because they are afraid).
Nope. Stupidity is not a good foundation for understanding or predicting reality.
Although it's true there are parts of the world that won't be hit as hard as others, and those of us who live there won't have to worry about camping out.
No, but we'd have to dig in and stock up like survivalists. We probably couldn't keep a few hundred million displaced people out anyway. Right now a trickle of Africans are trying to cross the Mediterranean into Europe. When Europe south of the Alps becomes uninhabitable, the North will be overrun. As will Canada and Siberia.
There are indeed waiting lines here in Norway, at least, not for emergency procedures, of course. But we're still trying to reach a goal of no more than 60 days of waiting for an operation. Reorganizing the public hospitals was supposed to help - it hasn't, so far. The press and TV are pushing, it looks like the bureaucrats may be losing - as they should. Also, lots of patients don't know that they can now freely choose which hospital to go to for operations and other procedures.
Microsoft's customers aren't regular home users. Their customers are OEMs and large corporate users (think five-digit numbers of desktop PCs). MS real customers are able and allowed to create custom Windows installs, in the corporate world those can be fine-tuned, secured and more reliable than the PC Joe Sixpack buys.
You are assuming that Microsoft actually cares about Windows' image. MS' customers are the OEMs and the corporate buyers, not the end users. Actually, I don't think MS could care less about what the end users think, as long as they can keep a death grip on the OEM market. They have suffered lots of PR setbacks without batting an eyelid.
that there is no training. There IS training for FOSS products available, but you may have to actually look for it... of course, the MS reps and shills deny it.
Redpill Linpro here makes money giving FOSS courses in several cities. The ad supplements to the IT journals carry course schedules. And no, the courses are not free, similar price per day as other computer courses.
Exactement. And besides, a Moroccan is unlikely to use Canadian French.
(I understand some of la langue métropolitaine, but spoken Canadian French just bounces off me...)
You are sounding more and more like the wintrolls on c.o.l.a.
Wipe the foam off your mouth and go to the rear of the class. You may come forward when you have gained some understanding of what you are talking about.
Agree with all of the above, and also:
I once had a motorized table that could be raised and lowered at a touch of a button. It was wonderful. I could raise the table and stand up to stretch my back and legs, it had room for two monitors. The "desktop" PC was actually hanging under the table, but out of the way so I didn't bang my knees on it when sitting down.
Professor Giæver's specialty isn't exactly climate science... but he ought to be qualified to judge the evidence for AGW, assuming he ever looked at it. Somehow it reminds me of the geologist professor Ivan Rosenqvist, who - if I recall correctly - denied that the acid rain over northern Europe was due to gases transported over long distances. He did have other valid points, but later events have shown that it was indeed sulfuric and nitrous gases from central Europe that gave (most of the) acid rain over Scandinavia.
And I wanted so much to come visiting again. Right now the exchange rates are such that I could afford an extensive trip around the places where I've been before, and to new places.
(The US was a great place to visit, but I don't want to live there. )

Of course you did. Just as you heard that global temperature is dropping, not rising. Doesn't mean it's true, though.

Last two chapters of Judges - these are probably the "worst". Of course, Ezekiel 23 would have the parent throwing a fit.

And how does this relate to an incident at Heathrow Airport, London? You know, London in the UK?

The fries would have to say like Hercule Poirot does: "I happen to be Belgian!". Now isn't it time to forgive the French for being right?

When security is involved, the question is "are you paranoid *enough*". BTDT.
