If your "simple" hypothesis is that temperature rises with CO2, you've got to explain why we can have increasing CO2, but not monotonically increasing global average temperature.
What worries me is that if I put a glass on my table here, with a cold drink and ice cubes in it, the temperature of the drink will not rise until the ice has melted away. Our "ice cubes" are currently melting.
You're not counting Voddler? It's available in Finland (and Sweden, Norway, Denmark.) Voddler's catalogue is very limited, though, so I guess in that sense it's not anything close to Netflix or Amazon...
I have found my self going down roads where if my GPS quit I would only have a vague idea of how to get home from that location.
Since the GPS makes it so easy to navigate from A to B, people might embark on a journey without really considering what could go wrong. False sense of security and all that. It could be your car that broke down, leaving you knowing where you are, but with no practical way of getting out of there.
Better accuracy (phones probably won't need to ever be as accurate)
Smaller / more durable
There are some things my Garmin eTrex does better than my Nokia E66, but the eTrex is twice the volume and unlike the E66 doesn't get a fix indoors.
I also absolutely love the ability of my phone to determine my position within a couple of seconds from "cold", using A-GPS. Nice when I'm checking out a new city by foot.:)
And the dirty little secret Nokia and the other phones won't tell you... leave the data network.. and your phone GPS doesn't have as much functionality. It can tell you where you are, but without the ability to download maps, it's not much use.
Well, Nokia's Ovi Maps lets you do just that; pick and download maps via your computer. Personally I have opted to install maps covering six whole countries plus bits of three more.
Signal wouldn't be a problem in Europe, but the roaming charges would.:)
Hm are you sure? I don't deal with negative masses on a daily basis so I might be wrong, but the gravitational potential with respect to Earth goes E = mgh, where m would be negative and neither g nor h would change sign.
Also in the universal equation: F = G((m1 * m2)/r^2) only the one m would be negative. The attractive force is negative *because* the mass is negative.
Further, with F = mg you get g = G(m/r^2) and so the acceleration should be negative if m is negative.
If there is something I'm missing (or Newton, for that matter) do let me know:)
I think the point with a balloon of negative mass, is that the Earth's gravity field would in effect expel it instead of pulling it in. It would therefore be buoyant even in a vacuum.
I can only speculate, but one reason the UK and other countries might see the benefit in keeping their own Loran stations running while the US does not, is that unlike the US, they do not own and control GPS.

Istanbul too.
Maybe I'm just lucky, but Google let's me define a custom range.

Northern airports also use actual flamethrowers. Action shot from Evenes Airport, Norway in this forum post: http://forum.flyprat.no/showpost.php?s=7562a4e68a7a1dcfbf71de30dec0af1b&p=23882&postcount=9
Actually, it's a typo.
Typosats? I guess you're talking about the Mars Climate Orbiter ;)
*Wakes up* ... uh... that a deadline or something I missed?
Nah. Dust devil.
Switch off the lights?
So the calling phone needs to be GSM too, and then it should work, right? :)
The Flying Slime Mold? That IS a scary thought!

The OP point stands: we are directing energy at the Earth that wouldn't have otherwise got there.
But are we directing more energy than the energy all those satellites in orbit are blocking from us?
Yes, there are "holes" in the IR as well. These are used for Earth-based astronomy as well as Earth observation from orbit.

I bet you're popular with the girls, you pendant!
If a pedestrian gets in the way of a cyclist it's because they're in the cycle lane, likely a tourist and need to be taught a lesson ;)
