Short and Sweet: * An increase in carbon-dioxide uptake does not cause emissions from burning coal, oil, and natural gas to fall. * Emission units are kg/s not ppm. * Primarily should be followed be ONE cause not TWO
Having hiked the Flume, I'd never go _DOWN_ the slide trail. As an avid hiker, the synapses in my brain do everything possible to avoid steep descents.
H.G. Wells is a brilliant writer, and arguabley the greatest Sci-Fi writer. He is also my favorite author. Unfortunately, his stories have a long history of being butcherd by hollywood, although I haven't seen some of the early adaptations from the 30's (and an Invisible Man from the 60's)- which seem to rate fairly well. Please let him rest in peace. Here is a partial listing:
I heard the theory that Spock is actually the central character on Star Trek. When viewed from this perspective, the show's meaning is enhanced. Any comments on this theory?
A master programmer passed a novice programmer one day. The master noted the novice's preoccupation with a hand-held computer game. "Excuse me," he said, "may I examine it?"
The novice bolted to attention and handed the device to the master. "I see that the device claims to have three levels of play: Easy, Medium and Hard," said the master. "Yet every such device has another level of play, where the device seeks not to conquer the human, nor to be conquered by the human."
"Pray, great master," implored the novice, "how does one find this mysterious settings?"
The master dropped the device to the ground and crushed it under foot. And suddenly the novice was enlightened.
This is exactly what I did after playing Half-Life life non-stop for about 8 hours. I was "master of my domain" and shattered the CD and uninstalled it from my system. Haven't touched a video game since. They just don't go well with my obsessive personality.
Try oc12hosat.com. I use them, and a friend does, too. Super cheap. Runs Linux. They have a personal package for $4/month, and a high-end business package for $40/month that should meet your needs. They also have a simple, useful web-based interface to manage your site.
A law preventing curbside disposal of TV's, monitors, and computers just passed here in the people's republic of Assachusetts (with no advanced warning). The officially advertised way to dispose of them is to give them to good will, whether the stuff is working or not. This just doesn't sit right with me, as now The Salvation Army has to find a way to get rid of all this junk. But, hey, that's the goverment for ya.
This discuasion just came up in my Philosophy class, and I'm more convinced than ever that one company owning so much of the net is a Bad Thing. But the other scary thing I learned was that AOL now owns part of the very backbone of the net, through an acquisition. The prospect of AOL limiting access and content over the net itself doesn't put a smile on my face.

What about Progress Software?
I thought it was:
CVS vs. Subversion
Is it a coincidence that The Hitchhikers Guided to the Galaxy is soon out in theaters?
I don't think so....

The Food of the Gods - misses the point
The Empire of the Ants - a disaster
The Island of Dr. Moreau - 96 - aaaaagrh!
The Island of Dr. Moreau - 77 - fair
The Island of Dr. Moreau - 33 - haven't seen, might be good
The War of the Worlds Tv Series - Why?
The Time Machine - Fair
The Invisible Man - too horrible to contemplate
Oh, the pain...
Isn't euphemism just another word for "bullshit"
