World is only running out of helium (one of the most common elements in the universe) because the USA holds half of all the reserves and is selling it off at an artificially low price. It may run out in 30 years time because this useful element primarily wasted in pointless things like balloons at carnivals.
By what theories? The indigenous peoples have many theories of the universe. The Mayans, Incas, Egyptians, Babylonians, Sumerians, and their intelligent progenitors have many more.
Hate to be fussy, but careful with the use of theory. It's misinterpretation in this context is what people who believe in the supernatural cling to when discussing such things as the theory of evolution.
Theory: a well-established principle that has been developed to explain some aspect of the natural world. Theories have been typically tested repeatedly in many ways and have become widely accepted truth.
Hypothesis: Testable and informed predictions with supporting facts. What is expected to happen during a specific study.
The Mayans, Incas etc were more at the early conjecture stage, which is more of an opinion and without supporting evidence.
That was my first reaction. But if you listened to the speech, Obama made very clear that the work is not done yet. Whether a person agrees or not, the armed forces are going to be engaged in Afghanistan for a while yet.
This is a symbolic victory only and sadly this will likely just be another inspiration for terrorists. Expect raised global terror alerts and new risk big retaliatory attacks on major Western cities. It may be decades before we can truly look back at all this and decide if it was worth it.
And if we get one every 9-1/2 years, the war will only last... forever.
I wonder how many recruits we've generated by killing innocents with our bombs and drones.
It's true that the war on terror has been the biggest cause of global terrorism in known history, but cunning use of fear did get ole George re-elected that one time.....
Shame they didn't get him alive and give him a trial. Ironically life imprisonment would have been a far harsher punishment for him, denying him martyrdom and potentially preventing his death from becoming a unifying cause that enlists more naive youngsters into team evil.
If you see muzzle flashes, then the rules of engagement has been broken. Commando's then unleash such fire power we do not care if your wife, children or pet gets hurt as collateral damage.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU STARTED THE FIGHT!
Lets put this into some metaphorical perspective.
Mommy he threw the first punch during lunch time at school, so I burned down his house and killed his family.
Seriously though, If you want to stay in the stone age and use a mouse for the rest of your life, don't hold the rest of us back.
Problem with Razer is they cash in on making things look futuristic. This may be a great new technology, I am no expert. What I do know is that Razer has a nasty habit of covering something with fancy looking LED's and then tripling its price.
So indeed. I cannot help but feel that liberal people aren't actually more intelligent or educated than conservative or the other way around. I personally believe anyone stupid enough to subscribe mindlessly to another persons ruleset instead of actually thinking for themselves is perhaps more than a little bit of an idiot no matter how they label themselves.
You are referencing the entire continent of North America instead of the USA, considering the comment was rather clearly about USA it renders your debunking somewhat irrelevant and the population figure stands. Unless of course the USA has absorbed Mexico and Canada while I wasn't looking.
What was it about, then? Regular political/religious refugees?
Environmental refugees. Drought, Earthquake, Mudslide etc. At the time of the report in 1995 there were 24 million refugee's and climbing. Using the growth rate there were some speculation on the map that the figure could reach as high as 50 million by 2010 but this estimated figure was not even mentioned in the report.
No, but I read the title of the summary. "What happened to the climate refugees?" And, I can answer that. They've all taken refuge, hiding in all the alrmist's cavernous asses.
It's terribly sad that the majority of comments on the linked article are vastly more informed and actually relevant than the rather childish posts appearing on this article in/. The actual projection was not even about global warming and yet here all people can talk about is the utterly irrelevant bickering of reds v blues from a continent making up less than 5% of the worlds population.
Sex and drugs... a student was caught swinging their legs from between the hind quarters as the cheerleading squad walked by.
Speaking about Sex. I always thought Trojan was a terrible name for a brand of condoms.
Considering the Trojan horse was pushed through the city gates whereupon it broke open and these little guys came pouring out of it and caused all kinds of trouble.
yeah $25 off is clearly not enough, it needs to be no more than half the price to make it worth actually considering the ad supported version
I disagree. There are plenty people who buy a kindle that would happily accept a small discount in exchange for some shitty screen-savers. Personally I would get one just for the challenge of killing the ads and turning it into a regular kindle.
If you prefer it in the sodomites own words: "Where [are] the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them."
(part of Genesis 19:5) If your not familiar with Biblical language and are confused by the term "know", here is a hint: "And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived")
From Ancient Aramaic to Ancient Hebrew to (a more) modern Hebrew, other parts from Ancient Greek twisted in some parts from to Selucid mix of Indo-Iranian and Greek, other parts straight from ancient Greek to Latin and all eventually finds its messed up way into King James English. At this point direct quotes are no longer relevant, but rather the overall message. Though I'm not sure what that message is, after all the hero of said story offered up his daughters for the horny crowds to gang rape and later personally impregnates both of them. although Mr Lot aka Fritzl does later claim they date raped him.
While mentioning this offtopic but overall message of love from the Bible, I'll leave you with a quote from the same Bible you quoted yourself Sveinungkv Hosea 13:16 (King James) "Samaria will bear her guilt because she has rebelled against God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open."
Perhaps a more interesting question is if the Americans would ever have bothered going to the moon if not for the extremely competitive nature of the space race and consequently loosing the leg of the race to the Russians?
Pandas are the perfect example of something not worth saving.
Pandas are of huge cultural significance to China. The effort required to save them is clearly worth it to the Chinese. If death by natural causes is your only meter stick for intervention, then should be not send foreign aid? After all most of these people in droughts, earthquakes, mudslides, floods etc are dying of natural causes. Should leave them to die in peace as well?
hmm interesting point. I wonder if there are any hardware shops that specialise in selling parts with good Linux support. I had perhaps rather naively assumed all my issues were purely because of the OS.

Tons of federal money for SWAT...
Tons of federal money for JACK-SWAT...
Guilty until proven innocent.
So...

North America makes up 10% of the world's population. You're argument is invalid.
Citation perhaps for this mysterious figure? Everywhere I see quotes the USA's population as 4.5%
eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population

can do it with fewer pixels.
Dunno about this. I've seen some people in the full 3d glory of real life that I could not discern the gender of.

IMHO Voyager was fine. Enterprise is the only series which sucked.
There I fixed it for you. After all, opinions are like assholes....
Nope, because that would mean admitting your shit sandwich OF FREEDOM was a festering turd, which BTW? It is.
Turd in a sandwich? If I may suggest, perhaps a baguette may be more suitable.
