Me too. . I was sitting in Cairns, looking out over the mudflats. I didn't see any cubicles. Decided that the next twenty-odd years were not going to be spent in cubicles. Even though I was earning good money as a consultant. I enrolled in a Part-time degree in resource and environmental management. A lot of geology and computational mathematics. Its interesting using computers for computing instead of data processing and communications.
I saw the original? "argument" for this on the back of a recent issue of "The Skeptical Inquirer". The spoof attacked all the revisions over time of the Periodic table. Here is a copy. Priceless.
Sorry to be a "wet blanket", but i read recently that Perth is looking at an interesting dilemma with future water supplies, even underground aquifers are projected to run low in the next 20-30 years. I guess Woodside might spare some gas to run a desalination plant. Not sure about the projections with that technology though.
BTW, I was over in Perth for LCA 2003 and loved the place. Especially the transport setup and UWA is impressive. My brother and his family are over there too.
The water injected is enough to cause at least small-scale fracturing, significant enough to increase the permeability for the scheme to work. Seismic monitoring during the test drilling have shown this fracturing happens.
I am studying at the ANU dept of Earth and Marine Sciences that is doing a lot of the research in this. This is not hydrothermal. You are right, there are no active margins and no active hotspots. This is using 3-4km deep drill holes, injecting plentiful artesian water down, fracturing the rock at depth and the heated water returning. The anomaly is a large intrusion that is near enough to the surface to make the project feasible. Sorry I haven't the paper at hand. Look at Geodynamics or look for papers by Prame Chopra. The "limited life" they are projecting is 300 years.
I like an interview I saw with "The Clash" who, when asked about selling out said (paraphrase) "Selling out is great, it means that the fans like our shows".
Slashdot Mirror
It is quite common it seems. Ian Plimer (a bit rough around the edges) described this behaviour in Telling Lies for God: Reason vs Creationism
Rather sad behaviour really
What is with the moderators? A well reasoned post, stating the clear facts of the issue, by a registered Slashdotter gets a 0?
I disagree. The reason the DVD sales are so high is because Futurama is side-achingly funny.

Great job coordinating all the extras. The coup de gras has to be the tube hanging from the dome.

High sales rarely equate with the quality of the review, whether it be cars, movies, songs or wine. Why should games be any different.
Tea and strumpets? Sounds like a wierd mix of civility and debauchery you are advocating. :-)
Serious? How is iron smeltered?
I don't recall any theory of evolution saying that our ancestors were monkeys either. Common descent suggests "ape-like" ancestors.
I'd think twice. We have an ICR phalanx here too. Eg YEC Geologist

I have some mod points but I am not going to use them on this topic as there needs to be more appropriate options.
Not Jurassic. The article mentioned Late Cretaceous so it is not such a big leap.
Does Richard have/need a driver's licence?
That is a sad. I was impressed by the design. I had no troubles gettign around Perth. Looks like the implementation needs work.
I looked at the report and I must have missed the list of the respective administrators skills and experience. Anyone got any pointers?

Moderators, please fix this parent. Aussie/NZ banter like this is NOT flamebait. It is a national past-time on both sides of the Tasman Sea.

Did any of the PC personal firewalls or Virus scanners pick this up? If not are they ineffective or in cahoots?

Did you compare that graph with this? CO2-Mauna-Loa
An idea worth looking into, however eutrophic systems have their own problems with runaway growth and subsequent oxygen depletion.
