After the IOC got sued because some idiots "bought" tickets for the Beijing Olympics online from "beijingticketing.com"? Yes, you heard right, the IOC got sued because a lawyer claims they didn't protect their trademark. http://www.gamesbids.com/eng/other_news/1216133744.html
I find it odd that the IPCC fails to mention that increased underwater volcanic activity under the arctic has been occurring since at least 1999, including a pyroclastic eruption and one that supposedly was as large as Pompei. Would this perhaps lead to increased water temps that could melt some ice, or would it be better to go ahead and destroy (or at least tax to ruin) western civilization as a precautionary measure?

Nice try, but there is no indication there is any recent increase. More importantly: if the 1999 eruption had a major (positive) impact on warming, why was 1998 the warmest year?
CO2 also is already providing the maximum greenhouse effect it can. It reflects/absorbs only a pair of infrared wavelengths and the current density of CO2 in the atmosphere is already catching pretty much all of the solar energy radiated through these bands. Sorry I don't have a link handy.
So while increased levels of CO2 do lead to Global Warming (looks like many of the former deniers are even admitting that now), even more CO2 won't anymore, because we're already at a "natural" barrier where it can't - so we can conveniently just continue to produce more.

Wait. We might have the world's biggest fart on our hands, and your "bright side" is that we get to "test" (smell?) it? 0_o
Methane is odorless. Farts only contain up to about 10% methane. And before you ask: the methane produced by ruminant livestock usually is exhaled or "burped", not farted. Any more Urban Warming Myths?
Achewood is rarely actually funny, to me. It's mostly interesting, thought provoking and odd. The comic format is not only for one liners about lasgana.
So it's about one liners about somebody standing on the manual for a drum machine? Or two liners on how -errm- "things" would rather spend 5 minutes alone in the bathroom with an FAO Shwarz catalog than have a smoke?
Back in the late 90s I worked for UMAX, which made Mac clones when this was (briefly) legal. The business was successful, and was quickly killed by Apple, for exactly the same reason. Namely, UMAX could sell a more powerful machine than Apple did, for less money.
You forgot to mention: they didn't have to spend any money on development of machines (because most machines used Apple designed mobos), and they had to spend little on advertisement (because they would just put up an ad in Mac magazines telling existing Mac users that they were cheaper than Apple).
Full Keyboard Navigation
In Mac OS X, you can use the keyboard to navigate through a document. [emph mine]
Notice that while the page you link to gives the impression that the OS is keyboard navigable, the above statement refers to navigating through a document, not all Operating System features.
So you are saying that when I hit the Tab key in a document, it "lets [me] navigate to lists, text boxes, and other controls" - is that your final answer?
Except when you get to the Pro levels, then the premium become + $500 to $1000 dollars. Spec out a dell with the exact same specs as the macbook pro models and you'll notice a huge premium.
Yeah, a huge premium in size and weight on the Dell.
oh yes, ddns providers usually check what people do with each registered domain because they don't have anything better to do.. and for your super-practical solution "pay for your domain, pay for your ssl cert, pay for..." i know a much better bush-stile-solution: unplug your fucking internet connection to stay secure and leave us alone. it is NOT normal to ban thousends of domains because someone has used the service for pishing
So you say that the blacklist maintainers should do what ddns providers don't have the time to do - because, hey, they sure don't have anything better to do?

No, by magical he means its a complete mystery to people who say "they will just rise the price by ten cents". And yes, that means you.

Not all religions preach against killing people. The muslims are told very specifically they must either convert non-believers or kill them.
Yes, of course - they are one of the Judeo-Christian sects after all, and thus use stuff from the Bible/Thora.

Where do you people come up with this sort of nonsense?
Real science. Grandparent is correct, and if you spend a few minutes researching the subject you'll (easily) find his missing link.
IPCC is a political organisation. AGW is a religion in the US (mostly). I prefer science over both politics and religion.
So you didn't simply link to that information because it is missing?
> You do know that the depths of the ocean tend to be very cold, right?
Normally..... unless there is volcanic activity in the region like is currently going on around the north pole.

"Currently"? You guys are grasping for every straw, aren't you? Must be the water rising.

Gee, whenever WMF loses, he starts posting as AC.
Actually, I do. Do you, or do you just use them a lot to cover up your fanatism and utter lack of clue?

Suuuuure. Just the Weasel words from the pee-nut gallery we expected.

Look to the linux community - very little piracy going on there...
Unless you count the free act-a-likes of expensive enterprise distributions.
After reading that joke for the 7th times, it falls on deaf ears.

That's why Dell went under years ago, before they'd ever even really gotten started.
Dell never sold a single computer to DIYers either. Anyway, how many quarters do you still give them?
Whatever, Francois.

IOW, you do basically the same thing Hotmail does.

I eagerly await the first Android phone, regardless of how crappy the hardware may be.
