On a debate on which the outcome is going to be framed on logic, tautologies, and proof... there is no way that a faith based position can prevail.
If a faith could be proven, it is no longer a faith. It is a fact.
I am not sure why God places so much emphasis on faith... my theory is that if one is incapable of faith then one is incapable of existing at a higher level of being. In other words, if one can't accept reality despite the fact that the nature of said reality is unprovable in human logical constructs, then one is incapable of evolving (interesting choice of words) to the next level of being. Many seeds planted, not all sprout.
I can accept such a thing.
What I can't accept is that an all loving God - who supposedly loves us far more than a doting parent loves their child - would toss his kids in an oven (forever!) simply because they didn't blindly follow (his) word. Which incidentally is spread by humans, some of whom are massive assholes.
Oh yeah another thing: how is heaven supposed to be a great place if a loved one, say a sister or child, goes to hell? Are you supposed to enjoy yourself up there in the cloud while your kid roasts while simultaneously being raped with a pitch fork? Just asking.
How about being able to hide - truly hide. Not instantly appear on local, or in an overview.
Collision damage. Mining laser dual use (should be able to cut a ship in half with a strip miner!), planets should be able to host giant missile batteries, the ability to orbit planets and moons..... jeez the list is endless.
Hell the ability to warp to the point of your choosing, forget warpables.
However I think that most (citation needed) climate change models that favor a warming earth show that the C)2 warms the atmosphere just enough to causes a viscous cycle of water evaporation coupled with subsequent warming.
An analogy - the CO2 is simply the match that starts the forest burning.
All that said, I don't believe the above comment is a troll. But what the hell do I know? I am an embedded developer not a atmospheric scientist.
The concentrations of O3 in question are quite small. Would manufacturing (or capturing surface ozone, which is a pollutant when here with us surface dwellers) O3, lofting tanks on high altitude balloons over the poles and releasing it help?

Well, my first question is somewhat subjective... your take is as good (or in my opinion, bad) as any.
However the second one has never been directly answered by anyone I have ever asked.

But I don't like Unity.
Classic Gnome or KDE are fine.
I wish Ubuntu was stable on my Dell Vostro 1400. Locks up constantly. THAT is what I am concerned with, not the desktop of the month.
Redhat is accredited to run on classified networks, so I guess it will be easier to get Android in the door.

If they are passionate about it it is a fun and rewarding career, with lot's of job opportunities.
They won't get outside much, they will need to stay active after work to not get fat, and that programmer != sys admin.
Heavy parts being optics, benches, batteries, flywheels, gyroscopes.... basically everything that is not reusable.

Resources. Perceived threats. Taiwan.

As in the liberation of France.
They had a BBx operating system as well, it think BASIS Intl bought it from them.
Having used it, I can tell you is was pretty horrible, not that this is a factor.
The trojan uses the exact same mechanism as Stuxnet, and has the same compilation date stamp.
This proves that the authors of Stuxnet are behind this? Really?
That stamp would be one of the first things I spoofed.
I know! Even Tang wasn't invented by or for NASA! They just threw a few packs into the space capsule because the water tasted crappy.
Oh really? I thought we didn't go back because the rocks up there are alive.
Not to mention that initially they were thinking that they were going to be enjoying these things.... in India.
That's true... but it should be ubiquitous.
Local should be something one subscribes to.
My thoughts exactly.
It was a reference to Firefly.

Stuff like that.
Instead we get captains quarters.
Nothing changes until the vast majority of it (oil) is gone.
But essentially (weasel word) correct.

Sort of like a land mine (invented by the Chinese).
An amazing technologist, RIP Steve!
So true. After all, that agreement really put the brakes on China stinking up the planet.

I realize how insane this sounds.
Venus stratosphere ranges between 385C and 75C.
This is abnormally cold to you?
