  1. Re:*cries* on Global Warming To Leave North Pole Ice-Free · · Score: 1

    I would think that, if the ambient temperature of the worlds oceans rose to a level which would enable the north polar cap to melt, then it would have a negative impact on the south polar cap as well.

    The moderating effect of the north polar cap helps keep the global climactic cycle in balance.
    Once that balance is disrupted, all bets are off.

    would it be able to keep its balance when a person with constant siezures was placed in it?

    Probably not.
    From the article:
    To climb up stairs, the occupant backs up to the first step and holds onto the stair railing. Then he shifts his weight over the rear wheels, causing the chair to begin rotation of the front wheels up over the rear wheels and then down onto the first step.

    It also would not be appropriate for quadriplegics as the weight shift would be a problem.
  3. Time to feed the trolls... on Rio Announces Networked Ogg Vorbis Player · · Score: 1

    That whole IE arguement is for web babies and marketeers; Flash web designers and PHB's; the ignorant and the uncaring.
    Many people who don't use IE use assistive devices and non-grafics browsers.
    Do you think a potential customer who is visually impaired might be interested in an audio player?
    It's not like their primary interface with the world is through auditory perception, now is it?

    Go get some real life experience and grow up. Then you might have something to say that is worth listening to.

  7. Re:The actual complaint on Red Hat Sues SCO, Sets Up Legal Fund · · Score: 1

    Ever hear "the principal is your pal"? We learned it in grade school to tell the difference between the two.

    principal ( P ) Pronunciation Key (prns-pl)
    adj.

    1. First, highest, or foremost in importance, rank, worth, or degree; chief. See Synonyms at chief.
    2. Of, relating to, or being financial principal, or a principal in a financial transaction.

    n.
    1. One who holds a position of presiding rank, especially the head of an elementary school or high school.
    From here.

    If Redhat gets them to expose the "offending" portions of code, it gets rewritten and SCO loses.

    Has anyone else noticed that the "quality" of troll posts is declining?

    Where is the creativity, the insight wrapped in incendiary comments, the art?

    I love reading a well crafted troll post that degenerates into an all out flame war.

    This post is a sad attempt by someone who has no talent.
