Wow... I am impressed. That was truly a well thought out and intelligent response. I believe we may have to agree to disagree on this for I believe you are just flat-out wrong.
However, not everyone that believes in the greenhouse effect believes in human-induced global warming. Perhaps not everyone... There are certainly scientists, particularly in recent years, that are coming out with studies that show that humans are not the cause of global warming and/or that global warming isn't taking place. However, I believe the majority of scientists support the evidence that humans are causing global warming and that it does exist.
The study you provided is just one of many and again, I think you can find many more indicating the opposite conclusion than the one you have linked to. 23 years seems like an awfully small timeframe to be looking at, as well.
As a counterpoint though to your study, I read a different study that determined that global warming would actually cause an ice age due to disruptions in the tidal currents/jet streams. This would be in line with the study your provided
The foundation of my beliefs is that over the past ~100 years since the Industrial Revolution in the late 19th century, there have been released vast amounts of 'greenhouse gases'. I am concerned that the earth/nature does not have the capability to adapt in that (relatively) quick amount of time to such a radically different environment.
Humans are drastically changing the environment. The earth may be used to such things and handle it all in stride. What if it can't though? I find this all the more likely and I guess I would rather be safe than sorry.
First, we have to stop using fossil fuels because it's causing global warming. Debunked.
Ok, well, then, we have to stop using fossil fuels because, uhm, we're running out of it. Debunked.
Uh, when were the two of these debunked? It's pretty much accepted by all scientists that WE are harming the environment and causing global warming with our use of fossil fuels. The ONLY people who say and think otherwise are on the payroll of those whose interests lie in with the Big Oil companies. And people like yourself who are just so poorly educated, it's frightening. And fossil fuels ARE a finite resource... we may not know when we are going to run out but we WILL DEFINITELY run out.
I can understand that some people, like yourself, are just simply ignorant... I'm more concerned with the fact that there are people modding you up as Insightful. You obviously have NO idea how wrong you are.
In addition, the major problem with fossil fuels is not whether we have enough of it (which we will not, soon enough), it's the damage to our environment our use as caused.
If you compare the movies 1 on 1, then yep, Spiderman is doing better then EpisodeII. However, what SERIES has pulled in more money? Call me when Spiderman 6 is out and we'll compare numbers for those 6 vs the 6 Star Wars movies. I would lay money that Star Wars outsells Spiderman... several times over.
If you want to talk about the generation gap, etc, you have to talk about staying power. Star Wars has much greater staying power than pretty much any other series. Liken Spiderman to Batman... the first one was great and they went downhill (very far downhill, IMHO) from there.
microsoft is a monopolistic giant. by itself, this means nothing and there is nothing wrong with it. the problem with microsoft is that they use the power they have in one area (e.g. OS, office suites) to force customers to use their products in other areas. e..g all those pop-ups and "wizards" that guide you from the OS to use MSN.
i for one have forsaken all purchases even associated with microsoft because i know that the money i spend on one thing will be used to give them a monopoly in some other field... a field i probably like ms-free.
but i still wont' buy one. Ignoring the fact that I refuse to buy any MS products, in general, the real holdback of the XBox isn't the $300, now $200, pricetag... it's the games. Halo is a fine game. If I wanted a FPS on my TV, it's probably one of the best. Unfortunately for MS, I have many more and better FPS games on my PC and consoles, in general, aren't well designed for FPSs.
as far as i'm concerned... Hell, it was D.O.A.... any games out for it yet? Of course, I'm still waiting for a reason to buy a PS2 but I guess I'll have to make due with my Gamecube.

um... yeah... i think you're the one deluding yourself. Resident Evil is only coming out for the Gamecube (blood, zombies, oh my), Eternal Darkness is only coming out for the Gamecube (you start tripping and have freaky psycho experiences throughout), etc... doesn't sound just kiddie to me but maybe kids have changed.
and MGS2 is a nice game but depth? i don't know... and FF... i almost fell out of my chair... FF hit its peak on SNES with FFIII (US version) and post-FF7 is nothing but candy coated crap.
Gamecube? It's my preferred system by and far to either the PS2 or the XBox. The XBox doesn't interest me at all (supporting evil isn't my thing:) and the PS2 is pretty cool but just doesn't have as many games out or coming out that interest me.

The asteroid was installed with a propulsion system and aimed at New Jersey. Unfortunately, due to a conversion factor from metric units, the asteroid missed Earth completely.
Unfortunately, your argument about the USPS is terribly flawed.
There are other couriers who would be able to deliver your packages more quickly and cheaper than the government. The only correct in this statement are "there are other couriers". The USPS has been refining postal delivery for hundreds of years... they are simply light years ahead of other couriers. The only reason other couriers seem better is because of the tiny amount of stuff they carry compared to the USPS. Competition is good... no doubt. But in the case of postal delivery, the USPS is the best solution.
Many people do not see this point, because they are subsidizing the post office Um, no. The USPS is required by law to be self-sustaining... and it is. It's also required to not make a profit; Another reason why it will defeat any other couriers in cost.
However, now we still have the USPS and the need is not there. This is just incorrect.

The article only mentions Sen. Fritz Hollings ("The Senator from Disney") and two other Democrats, not the whole party as the article title seems to suggest. Then the article makes a blanket statement about how much money the entertainment industry gave to Democrats (which I will will admit is a little suspicious).
On that note, I'm not defending these Democrats that are in the pockets of the MPAA, et al, but this article is a very left-ist piece of FUD.
From the article: So today's developers will use one of three languages: Java, C# or VB.Net.
Does anyone else get the feeling this guy has never done any serious programming? - VB.Net is completely useless for the majority of software being developed. (Personally, I think it's totally useless but I digress...) - C# hasn't really shown me anything that Java hasn't so I don't really see how it's going to replace C/C++ in places Java hasn't. - Java... wonderful Java... the same Java that was predicted to take over the world several years ago (much like this article is saying). Now, I personally think Java is great for many things but I also think it's unsuited for many others.
And I really don't see scripting languages (e.g. Perl, Python) going away real soon... and C isn't going ANYWHERE for quite awhile - what language do you think your OS is programmed in? How about your cell phone software? Palm software? I don't see any of these programmed in ANY of the languages the author mentions.
Oh and what about AI? Which of these is going to replace Lisp and other functional languages?
i especially like the sound of the installer.. sure.. I breathe ozone for breakfast, but my 80 year old mom can't even install windows - who here thinks she can install mandrake ?
i think you'll find mandrake is MUCH easier to install than windows. most people just assume the installer is more difficult because they have never actually installed windows... it just came pre-installed.
No offense to the Debian folks but Debian is not for beginners... You should give the latest from either Redhat, Suse or Mandrake a try. Mandrake in particular is ridiculously easy to setup. Lycoris Linux may also be good but I haven't tried it out yet. In other words, don't judge Linux by just one of less-newbie-friendly distributions like Debian.
RTP, NC? Expensive? LMAO! That place is booming because of (among other things) how inexpensive it is compared to some of it's other brethren in the tech-community... Northern Va and Silicon Valley
