> promoting bogus "man-made global warming" theories
Why do you think the theory is bogus? Do you doubt the extraordinary spike in greenhouse gasses since the beginning of the industrial revolution? Do you think the spike was caused by something else? Do you doubt the physics of the greenhouse effect? Is there some other problem with the theory?

Especially when you realize that it will never need more than 640K.

Americans tend to get pretty f'ing stupid when someone promises to make them wealthier or safer. (Or 3" longer, though the politicians haven't caught on to that one yet.)

Of the two, the latter is the only sensible option.
A third option would be to hand over the money to someone who would spend it wisely, such as me.

Please be specific.
> Insteead, there seems to be largely a grab for grant money and political power, as opposed to real science
Fortunately, we've got some big altruistic corporations ready to intervene on behalf of our best interests.
The next story on a conference about climate change may look like a dupe, but isn't really.
Unless, of course, they dupe this one first...

But now the chimeras will be after your kidneys.

And the other mouse will be called "Pinky".

Some of our moderators are pretty good at it...

Just be glad he toned it down from the original "Ragnarok looms in MGM v. Grokster!!!"
What is this "respect for copyright" you speak of?
> Except that the earth is only about 4000 years old and fossils were put there to test our faith, right?
More likely they were put there to test our intelligence.

Girls want it as bad as guys do.
Time spent on the clit has a great ROI.
17yo's are best, but you've got to collect it before you're 18.
The guys that brag the most aren't really getting any.
If a man catches you bonking his daughter you might as well keep on humping, 'cause he's going to be madder than hell anyway.
Santa Claus is gay.

Unfortunately, he couldn't resist the temptation to cut down a tree, and it fell on a butterfly.

Yeah, someone screwed up in converting 'A' to metric.

LOL.

Thanks... that long list of dead people cheered me right up.

Doesn't SCO know about kernel.org?

A couple of recent "I hates" that come to mind:

Porn is like God: it helps those who help themselves.
