True, but we are taking the energy out before it hits land. This will decrease natural erosion, deacrease the amount of carbon absorbed by the ocean (it is a natural carbon sink) and possibly affect sea life in that region. Granted that the energy taken from the tide would be relatively small compared to the total kinetic energy of the waves. Nevertheless, over time it would be difficult to tell exactly what the impact would be.
I would have thought the fact that global temperatures have risen by a statistically significant amount would be evidence for Global Warming, but hey I guess it must be evidence against it if you say so.
The measurements you speak of are from ground stations. Sattelite measurements which are considered more reliable show that global temps have decreased in the past 20 years. The scientific community is still considering the complications to the Global Warming theory because of this. I will not disagree that there is regional warming, such as where this ice shelf collapsed. However as a geosphere, it has yet to be conclusively proven that there is in fact a pattern of Global warming.
Err... It broke of of Antarctica. Southern Hemisphere. Seasons reversed.
So that would put it late summer/early fall in the Southern Hemisphere. The equivalent to our September. Which means it broke off after three of the warmest months of the years, giving it pleanty of time to sever it's bonds to the rest of the ice flow naturally.
Not forgetting those other fallicies - acid rain, smog, asthma, polluted rivers, industrial waste, etc.
All made up to prevent George W Bush from increasing his personal fortune.
I agree that these are all bad things and that we are responsible for our actions. We should not pollute the earth. However, I think it is ridiculous to buy into any hype whether for or against Global Warming. Since there is "evidence" for Global Warming we should study it. However there is "evidence" against it and other theories that would explain a general warming trend on the Earth (assuming it is actually happening).
How do you really know they are running Solaris? That wouldn't be hard to mask.
Packet analysis. Almost every OS version has a different implementation of IP that forms their packets in a certain way. With a little knowledge of which OSes form certain packets, you can tell what OS a box is running, what version and sometimes what patch level. I know some people who have created books on this subject. It's only a semi-advanced hacker tool.
For many home audio enthusiasts, simple is better.
That's the problem with a large jukebox MP3 player. You can't efficiently manage 6500 tracks with 8 functions. You have to have some kind of menu system that lets you build and edit playlists. Otherwise, it's impossible to listen to what you want, unless you don't mind having 100 tracks on it at a time.
If you click the link and look at the ad in the lower left corner it says, "Free RioReciever plus $100 off when you buy the RioCentral". Since the reciever rocks more than the Central (it has ethernet) then this deal might actually make it worth getting. I get the whole enchilada for $1400. Need to cash in 401k...;)
No really, in general, in my experience, more liberal people will fight harder for the environment. For instance, would you recycle if it cost you $1.00 a time?
I've paid $5 to recycle yard waste, $3.50 to recycle aluminum and newspaper. Now I pay a fee to the city to pickup my recyclables.
Would you disallow businesses to set up shop in your town because they may pollute or they would build on open space
Yes.
Would you pay higher taxes to conserve open space?
Yes, if the government would trim down to eliminate waste.
Would you stop driving your car so we wouldn't have to destroy an arctic wildlife refuge?
No, but I would buy a more expensive car that got better gas mileage or used an alternative fuel. I am currently researching the new Hydrogen based zero emission designs that Chrysler has implemented in a test vehicle already.
Conservative citizens tend to drop the whole "I love the environment" act when the sh!t hits the fan, while liberals tend to hold on a lot longer.
A sweeping generalzation that gets more and more murky as you get farther from seats of power. The average joe citizen is more likely to have less party centric views like these than the average politician. Personally, I have more conservative views on issues like gun control and abortion, but more liberal views on the environment and education. It's all about personality, not politics. Too bad people have been forced to choose from a narrow list of options instead of a wider range. We might actually have some effective/efficient systems out there.
Wrong. Impeachment means that the House votes to send the case for a trial in the Senate. Just like a grand jury. He was impeached, but the Senate voted to not try him.
but i thought any nation that was amassing weapons of mass destruction was terrorist?
No only the "rogue nations" that haven't joined "the club" yet. You know the ones that Bush pointed to in his speech a couple of weeks back. Bascially, if you are a country without nukes and you try to bust into the nuclear club, you are a rogue nation and likely harboring terrorists... Nations who already have the bomb can do whatever they want with them. Assuming they don't break any treaties. Oh wait, we can just pull out of any treaties that are too restrictive.
Ahem. Have you ever considered that is the point of science? To factor in new evidence as part of a ever converging, successive approximation of the truth?
Absolutely. I am somewhat of a scientist myself and like to think I know a little bit about the scientific method. However, I believe that in God there already is all truth and that He has given us all the truth we need for our time on this earth. Finally, we will be taught the fullness of knowledge when we are able to bear it. I have a hard enough time with third order linear equations...
It's the nature of the thing, man.
Precicely my point. I don't trust man or his knowledge. I only trust God. Hence the motto of the USA, "In God we trust."
Earth's gravity still attracts towards the center of the planet.
OK, why? Science still doesn't fully understand gravity. Are there gravity particles? Is there another force that we don't understand, what about the GUT? God knows all these things and He will teach them to us.
All of that is already well pinned down by experiment, and will stay pinned down until disproven by even more experiments
What about on another planet, or near a black hole or in another universe? Granted the latter is unlikely, but still possible. The fact is, man knows extremely little about our universe and how it works. I may agree with observations, but I don't agree in man's ideas when they so clearly contradict those of God.
Isn't it possible that your God directed this evolution? He gave us brains, why shouldn't we use them to learn about how He worked?
Possible yes, probable no. My God (the God in whom I believe) created man in His image. There was no man before this creation and since God does not change, man's likeness does not change. Therefore, I do not believe in the evolution of man. Since science clearly believes that evolution encompasses the change of life from primordial soup to man (man included), I cannot accept any of it.
As for giving us brains, yes. He wants very much for us to learn all about how He worked. In fact, He has a plan for us to learn everything that He knows ("gain all the my Father hath" is the quote Jesus made.)
From the article: " The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon University is expected to release more information Monday afternoon"
It also says they "could not be reached for comment".
That's a pretty big sweeping generalization. If we are talking about all Creationists, then we cannot apply any explanation to their actions except to say they all believe in a creation. As for "passed by word of mouth for thousands of years", I don't see how that is relevant even if it is true (which it is not).
The theory of evolution is one of sciences most impressive theories which has withstood attacks both fair and foul.
Don't get too cocky there bucko. Just because it's the dominate theory now, doesn't mean it will always be so. To give some credit to the "wailing" Creationists, at least they don't change their story when new "evidence" comes out.
Of course, you have to identify which Creationists you are talking about. I don't adhere to "Scientific Creationism" or even mainstream Creationism, although I do believe in a creation. Bottom line is the "evidence" for evolution does not convince me and a very many other people that it is fact. Say what you will about religionists and science being irrefutable, I see science change it's ideas on a daily basis. My religion hasn't changed for eternity.
Liberal citizens generally want things to work nice (without compromising our environment), and have a nice world to grow up in, instead of a cement/oil palace that conservative citizens want.
I am a conservative citizen, it just so happens that my conservatism extends to 'conserving' the environment. Novel concept, huh? I recycle, take my kids to clean up trash on the side of the road and pee three times before I flush. But I also oppose abortion and laws making homosexual couples equal to heterosexual ones. Does that make me bad? More fodder for the Left/Right is getting blurry argument.
I would like to thank you for publicly announcing your intentions to "re-write the DMCA" and introduce legislation that would protect consumers right to make fair use copies of Digital Audio CDs.
I understand you have opponents as well in Ms. Hilary Rosen of the RIAA and Senate Commerce chairman Fritz Hollings, who has drafted legislation that would prohibit creating, selling or distributing "any interactive digital device that does not include and utilize certified security technologies." Please work with your fellow legislators and bring sanity back to our corporate-centric country. As a citizen who has seen too many of my rights squashed in the name of business interests, please make every effort to introduce these bills as soon as possible. Even if they are not accepted in the full House, the consequences will be on the heads of the Commerce committee, instead of you.
Heh. I submitted that article yesterday afternoon as the story. It think it is a lot more interesting than the nwfusion one even if it is lite on facts. NAI's homepage has absolutely zero on this development. Even the PGP product page is blatently small on details. PGP had the potential to revolutionize e-mail and digital signatures as a whole. Too bad corporate America drove another fine product into the ground again.
I didn't pay and I moderated yesterday. I have been able to M2 all week. If they revoke M1 and M2 based on $$ then I will be the first to leave. On the other hand, if the/. crew would have just asked for donations, instead of this page view crap, I would be all over it. $20 is nothing for a service that is worth somehting. Every day, it seems that/. gets worse and worse.
I think it is interesting that the pictures show the magnetosphere is parallel with the planet's rotation. This is opposite from Earth's. Do the magnetic poles of Jupiter then rotate with the planet? Like a giant spinning magnet. Makes for a very diverse magnetic environment for the entire Jovian system.

Their Analyzer product order page shows a drop down for Linux, Solaris and WIndows 2000. My guess would be they have a port already.
