Alan Carlin has just recently written an article, where he not only argues that:
This Article finds that the emissions reduction approach would be
ineffective at solving the dangerous climate change effects of global warming
because it would be technically risky, inflexible, extremely expensive,
and politically unrealistic, and would probably delay more effective and
vastly less expensive measures using solar radiation management.
So he clearly does think that Global Warming is real and dangerous. No, he also believes that it can be solved by the well proven science of geo-engineering!
Exactly. The people who rattle on about how the US invades countries for oil tend to fall silent when they find out that Canada is the largest exporter of oil to the US.
Let's ignore that Canada still only supplies 9% of the oil the US consumes. It never was about oil for Americans, it was always about oil for American oil companies.
Yeah, people who use Linux deserve to be happy - to bad Linux can't help them there. At least they don't use Windows, which would make their life miserable.
What do they want? Jobs to tell them "Hey stupid sheep, if you're going to sell, sell NOW!"?
On the bright side, that means there's money to be made:).
Gee, that would have been stupid: AAPL +52.78% since Jan 14th - ohh, you mean money to be made for smart people who buy.
I'm guessing a lot of people reading this have the former in mind: information technology companies in the industrialized world shouldn't operate in countries that place restrictions on political speech to the extent seen in the countries on which the United States already has sanctions.
Well, if they had done that 20 years ago, Iranians wouldn't even have modern communications to restrict - or to inform.
Duh. You have have actually answered the question "Do Apple notebooks have better battery life" with "When using Windows, they are a bit better" and declared Apple the moral loser. Yeah, battery usage has nothing to do with the OS.
Apple notebooks are manufactured by Asus. Don't you think that if there were some kind of significant gain in technology for battey life that it would show up in other Asus-manufactured products?
Here's another idea: Apple lies about battery life just like everyone else.
Really, now, which idea is more likely?
And Anandtech then simply quotes those numbers instead of actually testing themselves like they claim they did? As well as all others who have tested them?
I also have to commend Apple for delivering realistic battery life specs on its laptop. While 7 hours definitely involves a light workload, it is more than attainable as I've shown in the tests above.
A quick search shows that even Dell's Studio 15 only offers a battery rating of up to 5.5 hours. It looks like, once again, other notebook makers will have to play catch up to Apple in this department.
Wow, imagine that, it's cold in coldest city of Brazil. Quite recently they started making wine there, because, well, could it be - Global Warming made it possible?
The eight-year study was based on 24,519 measurements of ocean pH. It represents the first detailed dataset on variations of coastal pH where the world's most productive fisheries live, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Washington.
"The acidity increased more than 10 times faster than had been predicted by climate change models and other studies," Wootton said. "This increase will have a severe impact on marine food webs and suggests that ocean acidification may be a more urgent issue than previously thought, at least in some areas of the ocean."
While the GPs post answers what effect volcanos have on acidity, yours doesn't actually answer that for asteroids. Please come back to us after you found out, and do a report, or a show and tell if you want.
So why aren't "these guys" showing us that Mars and Jupiter are cooling, because the GW denier's latest claim is that Earth is in a cooling spell because of the Sunspot minimum?
To a fanboi like you, any question is a troll. Just like only a fanboi would bring up the price of games as proof which is or isn't a real games machine.
Wouldn't number of games sold be a better index of how much something is used as a games machine?
And how many DSs are rotting in some cupboard after the buyer grew tired (or is still only using) the Dr. Kawashima or Nintendogs that came with it - IOW are overly expensive Tamagotchis?

A stylized rifle with four colored buttons which you have to press just in time to kill the enemies - why, that sounds like a sure hit to me.
Gee, for years people have claimed Apple sells products because they are shiny, and now all of a sudden it's supposed to be Steve Jobs' presentation?
OPTN Statement Regarding Liver Transplant Waiting Times and Allocation: http://www.unos.org/news/newsDetail.asp?id=1265 Release Date: 06/24/2009
Let's not forget: any number of Apple fans would probably readily line up to give their liver to Steve! Fame can be more useful than wealth.
The number of Apple fans who would pay to smack you in the face is bigger.
Yeah, people who don't deserve it.
Yeah, people who use Linux deserve to be happy - to bad Linux can't help them there. At least they don't use Windows, which would make their life miserable.
You mean the American Health System is so fucked up, you can't even afford to rent a flat in Memphis for two months to wait for your liver?

Funny you should mention the company that has a long history of broken hinges.

In the 1980s, near the end of South Africa's counterpart to the U.S. "Jim Crow" era, there was an effort to boycott companies that did business in South Africa: disinvestment was a result.
Well, this time the closest ally of the US probably won't be just about the only one to still do business.

Switzerland, you ignoramus.
Wow. This must be the first article about Germany where the grammar nazis get mentioned before the actual Nazis.

Too bad the lumber lobby won't like the idea.

Its too early to tell yet, but cycle #24 is over 2 years late...
We're pregnant, aren't we.
This is the Sun's answer to us declaring Pluto a non-planet.

The number of Slashdot stories on this has also just doubled. http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/29/0511233
An apologist for American aggression world-wide wrote .... well read his blurb himself, I stopped after his stupid beginning.
