1) the four bibles I own all have copyright notices
2) So does my trasnlation of Beowulf
3) If I spent X years traslating something and then some pissant goes and quotes, makes money off of it, and doesn't give me a dime i'd be pissed to.
4) There is a copy of the scrolls on Microfich @ USC.
there are 2 posibilities that Global warming could lead to global cooling.
1)is that increased temp would mean higher humidity leading to more clouds. Clouds reflect light. thus less light get to the surface, so there is global cooling.
2) is that the melting Ice caps will cause a shutdown of the currents in the atlantic & Pacific (Gulf stream etc) that moderate the costs of those contenets.
There was a show about it on PBS. Strongly suggest you find it and watch it.
Ok I can not accses the plot so I can not really comment on it. However
Does it say why (if there is global warming) by 1500 AD all farming comunities with in the artcic circle had been abandoned? (The last to go was greenland @ between 1450 - 1490)
Does it explain why Britan was once a major exporter of Grapes to the Romans.
Does it explain the Inuit abandonmened the upper artic islands by 1500 AD.
I don't think it was global warming guy.
the big problem with the evnviorment is that there is NO simple answer. yes the data on that chart may be accurate. yes it may show gloabl warming. but it may be out of context.
also since we (the human race) have only been consistantly recording weather data for the last 80 or so years so where did they get the data for the last 1000 years?
yea. In parts of Qubec you can order L'hamburger or le french fries. I have NO idea how the laguage commision feels about this.
I used to talk to some friends who did not speak English that well in a pidgion of French & English. However It is not real popular with people who don't speak french as well as english.
Actullly it has already been done. It s called the Card Catalog.
It is really hard to improve on the card catalog, manually or electonically. So what you would end up doing is just tramslating the card Cataloge to an Electronic format. Noble Work. But boring.
Oh bye the bye all the Schema has already been designed......
For a while One of our customer service guys was marketing to the chinese.
So they have me set up a Chinese writing pad. Cool no problem, but the instructions are in Chinese, that is except for the address of the importer, in Toronto. So I call 'em.
I explain that I am setting up this tablet and that I can not read the instructions. The guy @ the other end goes, "This is only good if you speak chinese" So I go "I don't speak chinese, but the guy who is using it dosn't know jack about computers." There was a silence @ the other end of the line So I say "He's in marketing"
Bubdy buys this and spends the next 1/2 hour talking me through the install. (It was a five minute install but my lack of chinese complicated the subject)

By the by it was never the Scientists or the church who said it was flat, it was the masses.
Scientists have known that the world was round from BCE, they just got the size wrong!!!!!

Also read "Cloak of Green" If you can find it.
"There is a lot of dirty money promoting your views and trying to make them seem acceptable and rational. Warning bells should be ringing."
That applys to both sides ace.
