"more people die in cold weather"? Wouldn't that depend on location? A mild warming of the average temperature would probably feel great for most rich nations (why are wealthy nations mainly rather cold?), but what about the extremes? How does 52,000 dead compare to very few?
It's expected that extreme weather conditions may become harsher with global warming. That's consistent with recent evidence.
Your final point is a cliche. I don't understand how you can claim it's "always missed"; people like you are a dime a dozen.
Not only that, but the linked ExtremeTech article shows that the Radeon 4890 is faster than the 4870 in all cases, and in many cases faster than nvidia's offering as well.
If the Gulf Stream turned around, you'd see far worse effects on the climate than some snow in October. I'm @ 60ÂN on the coast of Norway, so I'd expect temperatures at least below freezing for most of the months between November and March. No monthly average has been below freezing for a few years now. Technically, we don't have winter.
The reason why you've stopped hearing about the potential reversal of the Gulf Stream is that it's been thoroughly researched and found highly unlikely to happen.
The reason is, of course, that these people are massive wankers and wish to spend their time promoting the wanker cause by posting comments to web sites demanding that everything should look like everything else and that conformity is the only way forward.
Standard? No. And as there's no standard way for how a web page should be organised, there's no standard way to find such articles, and no guarantee that they won't disappear tomorrow. Would you take the chance to cite a paper that's not even properly published?
MIT's decision will hopefully mean that you'll find the electronic version through the library's database, with persistent links that don't disappear when a professor moves to a different university.
Porting K3b to KDE 4.x is difficult enough, apparently. They even had to modify Qt. It's a very nice app, though; fast, reliable, no configuration needed, and with a good GUI.
Wrong. There are obviously such things as internal stimuli, e.g. hunger, thirst, itches, etc.; one might add that external stimuli become internal as they enter the senses and perception (you can't see with your ears, after all). Free will, although subjective, isn't an artifact of "the limits of our perception", but an artifact of subjectivity as such. It's not so much about complexity as about the unknowable (in a way similar to how the subject can know about a physical object, but not from the object's perspective, and the object, unless it's an animal, probably doesn't know about itself; although the subject can imagine itself).
Yes, free will is an illusion, but approaching it through objectivity and logic is a silly exercise, as it isn't an object you can study: it is an aspect of what studies, just like logic and objectivity themselves, including the assumption that "all things happen because of something else".
And you base the assumption that it won't be 10-20 years this time on that it has been wrong in the past? Without realising this is fundamentally absurd?
Gimpshop is a disgustingly stupid attempt at reimplementing Gimp in an MDI. It's like a bicycle with a helicopter interface: awkward and doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Also, it's several years outdated.
Are you high? What other industry do you get paid over and over again for work you have already done?
In any industry based on mass production in which you own the product you make. Stop complaining; most writers aren't nearly as well paid as your average code monkey, even though they do get to keep ownership of their work.
The copyright is owned by the studio anyway, with Ellison being paid royalties as specified by contract. The contract probably didn't specify DVD sales and such, so he might have a case. Or not. We'll see.
Why would you think I disagree with them? I entirely agree that correlation isn't causation, and anyone who doesn't hasn't understood what either word means. It's trivially true. That means pointing it out is redundant. Sadly, the comment also guarantees karma points if you're quick enough, so any karma whore with nothing on their mind will try to post it. But it's never, ever, an actually insightful comment.
NRK have offered streaming for years, both live and for older content. The main difference now is that bittorrent allows for higher resolution and bit rate than streaming does, and that the streaming is based on shitty Microsoft solutions that depend on either Silverlight or WMV (the user can choose between the two, and WMV works with Mozplugger + mplayer in Linux).
Joe the plumber and Howard Stern are both in the "... or commercially viable" category. At any rate, the fact that a lot of garbage gets published (true) has absolutely nothing to do with what Lumpy wrote, so you must be really fucking dumb.
Not getting published is failure. But if you follow the GP's homepage link, you'll find links to his books, photo books without much text. You can preview them. Nice photos, pity about the lack of proofreading and editing. Most traditional publishers know that "it's" isn't the possessive form of "it", for instance.

To be fair, it might be good for us. Then again, it's certain that not everyone is one of "us".

Yes. And like KDE4, OS X only became usable with the second revision, 10.2. Hopefully, KDE 4.3 will be what Panther was to OS X.
Yes, everyone who are wrong are wrong in the exact same way. That means you are a racist, too!
I can't tell whether that's satire or just plain retarded.

KMail is a lot better. The desktop has more funtionality, if you like plasmoids (SuperKaramba doesn't compare).

'Correlation is not causation' causes stupidity.

Not only doesn't that make sense, but it's also wrong.

What a shame I spent all my modpoints yesterday downmodding infantile "correlation is not causation" comments. I'd mod this up.

Nice to see the reality distortion field still working fine in Steve Jobs' absence.
Using Qt 4.5-rc1 from Debian Experimental and the Arora browser, I get 98/100 on Acid 3. It renders pretty fast as well.
