You know, and I'm certain that if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified report entitled 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States' he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was taken by our current president and his national security team."
The washington post article talks about how Bill DID get such a report.
P.S. I REALLY hope Hillary does run, if only to shut up the loony left who think everyone agrees with their twisted POV. But I hope she loses to a centrist Republican so that far right does't think they have a mandate from God for once.
Those looking to pin this ONLY on this current administration are showing they are simply interested in partisan politics. There is plenty of blame to go around.
Not that I RTFA, but I'm guessing the "Group Fighting Politicizing Science and Engineering" is all for pushing as much gloabal warming legislation thru as possible.
Believe me, I'm not ignoring the elephants. But while the US' main export to China is $$$$, there is little no chance this is going to escalate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, spyplane, people being held for a while, etc... That's as much as will happen while the current economic factors remain relatively constant.
To me, this is more of a technological challange that needs to be tackled as opposed to a prelude to conflict.
Are they blinding the targeting sensors of the Hercules orbiting nucluar missle platform ALA the movie Meteor(1979)? Nope. It's a freakin spy satellite - optical based. If you are afraid of space based optics, then I don't know how you ever manage to leave your bedroom in the morning.
Again, my point being - your reaction to this story tells more about your attitude towards the US. I think I know your opinon.
I know this will turn into an anti-American thread, but what is the big deal? This was a dance the US and USSR carried on for decades. If anything, it will now force the US scientists back to the drawn table to come up with a different solution to accomplish the same thing.
If anything, your reaction to this story should tell you where you stand with respect to the US.
More power to China, I know this will force the US to improve/upgrade it's space efforts. And that, to me, is a good thing.
It's a story because we are NOW getting to the highest temps in the last 12K years. To me, that tells me that sometime in the past 12K years there was a period where temps were higher than they are today(since we are approaching the highest temps in 12K years). I'm sorry if you do not want to read that from the article. It seems like some of us are getting this bit out of the article.
Based on the title, etc... It's easier to summarize it in the way you don't like. What would you rather hear? That the temps are reaching the highest levels in the past 12K years, that the temp was not necessarily higher 12K years ago, but that the temp was higher than it is now in this 12K year period. But it is safe to say that the temps were higher thousands of years ago.
Forget it, logic like this is impossible for some here to grasp. Wrapping it in a joke is the only way to get any "readability" here and it gets quickly poo-poo'd anyway.
Those who know, get the joke. Those who don't are offended and post smug replies.
It makes sense because we are being told that humans are causing the temps to "explode" over the last hundred years or so. But how then could the temps be warmer 10+K years ago? Why were the temps so high back then? Maybe there are other processes that play a MUCH larger part in this whole temp change than we are currently aware.
Are humans responsible for the shrinking polar ice caps on Mars as well?
... were a real problem. I'm so glad Atlantis was destroyed, or else who knows where we'd be since we are only now jsut approaching those Atlantean high temps of 12K years ago.
I guess when they show it in their commercials that they aren't pushing it? I think you need to contact Apple marketing because I am clearly confused. And I know I'm not alone.
If you want to bury your head in the sand and ignore all the cries of anguish over the 950 when the Macbook and mini 1st came out, then that's your fault. It seems that you appear to be in full RDF mode than open to any possible ctiticism of what appears to be coming down the pike for the mini and macbook. If you thought the last bit of complaints over the 950 were bad - oh wait, you don't recognize those as ever existing. O, let me start again - If normal people thought the complaints over the 950 were bad last time, just wait for the firestorm when Apple's desides to NOT put in the available 965 and remains with the 950 when they update the mini and macbook.
The expense of what? Intel's 950 or Intel's 965? I don't see that as a big expense given intel pushing the 965 with the C2D chip. Did you happen to miss the BIGGEST complaint with respect to the Macbook's release? It was the crappy GMA 950 graphics. It's my understanding that the 965 will be required to run Vista. And if Apple is trying to push the "run both OSs" marketing plan, then you'd think they would like to have their machines, you know, actually be able to do that. Don't you?

As long as you think no party is free from antics, I agree wholeheartedly.
I made a mistake, here is the hillary article that is in direct opposition with the washington post article - http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/26/rice.clinto n/index.html
I hear ya. I was just pointing out what I would like given Hillary running for Prez.

Kinda makes Hillary a hypocrite based on what she said here, now doesn't it? - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58

Just pointing out the most likely outcome of this - hypocrisy.

Better?
What part of "global temperatures are reaching highs not seen in thousands of years" don't you understand?

Don't blame the submitter for doing this. He is simply writing for the audience. And /. leans WAY more left than right.
Amen. Nothing like the long metal rods used in Chicago to punch hole to invalidate stacks of paper ballots from "Republican" sections of town.
Well then, why don't you tell us how you would write it up Mr. Gates?
You are correct. I did a bit more digging and found the 965(GMA3000) for laptops is expected to come out in Q2 2007. DAMMIT!!!!!

"Intel GMA 950 graphics with 64MB of shared memory"
I was hoping for the upgraded intel graphics with the C2D, but why would Apple give the customers what they have been asking for(improved graphics).
