One small problem with that theory is that changes in solar output happen over millions of years while the temperature changes being seen have taken place over 2000.
Since encryption would be used it would fall under current copyright law and the DMCA.
I can see it now during a battle: "Private Smith, sorry but your ammunition license has expired and your gun will no longer fire. Please contact your commanding officer or call 1-800-OUT-AMMO"
I played HGTTG on my Apple II (it is still available for free on the web as an online java based game). I always felt so lonely when Zaphod and Trillian left me alone on the bridge of the Heart of Gold. *sniff*
I was wondering why I was suddenly getting this spam:
"Can you spare 50 cents? A buck, come'n buddy, a buck! Hey...hey...pretty lady, yah you! Com'n give me some change! I'm a veteran with a wife and kids, I swear! Don't you care about vets and kids?..."
I've also had the bizarre experience of offering food or cigarettes (a friend was quitting and was throwing them out) to homeless people only to have them regected because they were the wrong brand or they didn't like that kind of food. I guess they aren't THAT desperate if they can be choosy.
Many are also homeless due to mental illness. Everyone in the 70's cried out against state mental hospitals because of the poor conditions in them so they closed them. The problem is that the patients didn't go away and they lost touch with them. They didn't get the medications they needed anymore (which were supposed to be a substitute for the hospitals).
A significant number I'm sure are homeless by choice. They will tell you that they enjoy not being responsible to anyone or anything. They get plenty of handouts and most like to drink a lot. Clothing is never a problem, I've removed TONS of old clothes near hidden abandoned homeless camps.
One problem with treating a child as an adult is that they don't have the experiences to back up their decisions. Kids and teens especially think they "know everything". They make bad choices, i.e. "I can drive as fast as I want on this windy road, I know what I'm doing. Seatbelts are for pussies!". A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and kids have less than they think. Face it, the vast majority of kids don't speak multiple languages fluently by 1st grade or can do basic physics by then. Even if they could, learning facts and being able to apply them to real life are two different skills.
I see people IN coffee shops who I swear have had their butts parked there for 3 months or more and I never see them buy anything. They just sit there with their laptops. They should arrest them too.
I don't see why they mentioned he was a REGISTERED sex offender. What does that have to do with this? Maybe he stayed outside so they couldn't accuse him of violating some distance restriction.
It does? Your sun sounds pretty nasty compared to mine.
"They form black or purplish scars, which can last several years. Hospitalisation may become necessary. Presence of minute amounts of sap in the eyes, can lead to temporary or even permanent blindness. These reactions are caused by the presence of linear derivatives of furocoumarin in its leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds. These chemicals can get into the nucleus of the epithelial cells, forming a bond with the DNA, causing the cells to die."
I've found that my animal allergies vary from animal to animal (within the same species). My previous cat would sometimes start me sneezing hard. Getting her saliva on me would trigger an especially bad reaction. My current cat however hasn't given me the slightest problem. I know my allergies are still there because they flare up around different cats or at animal shelters.
I have some doubts about the dirt hypothosis beyond just animal allergies. I also grew up playing in the woods and being outdoors a lot. I also camp and hike a lot and drink straight out of (clean) streams. I still get bad reactions to many pollens. Maybe you have to have parasites or repeated infections as a child for this possible effect to show up.
Japanese Knotweed is another gem brought over that overruns disturbed areas (trails, roadsides, etc). I've worked with groups that try to control invasive species and it is a Sisyphisian task. You have to be 100% committed to it over many years. You have to tear their roots out or poison them season after season and get every little cluster of them.
Here is one especially lovely plant that was brought over. The Giant Hogweed (sounds just lovely, doesn't it?). Get the sap in your eyes and it can blind you. Get it on your skin and you could be permanently scarred. Some were found growing in Western Massachusetts a few years back.
Sometimes I think it would make more sense to genetically splice beneficial plants with invasives. Knotweed that grew oranges or Loosestrife that grew strawberries wouldn't be bad at all.
Try typing "Tibet" and "Independence". You'll come up with scads of *.cn sites all ranting about how the Dali Lama is "splittist". I wonder if they cover the vicious Chinese invasion of Tibet in there somewhere?
The US sure isn't perfect but China shows that it could be a lot worse.
The creation of the universe, conception, creationism. Christians in general have become VERY obsessed with the idea.
I assume that the reason they only consider the begining to be the work of god is that they have written off the time afterwards as a concession to science (which of course would include the period of human evolution). Does this mean the Church is saying that God has nothing to do with the universe, physically, now that it has been created?

Use the tea...
They'll need people to build this database and manage it. Finally, a job description where being a pedophile is actually an asset.

You are 100% correct.

You sound a bit bitter but anyway...

I remember bitnet and using it to access Yale relay chat.
I'm gonna hold my breath until they stop saying that. Then they'll be sorry!

This is why I had a sprinkler system installed in my PC. Safety first!
I agree. Where is the cupholder? And going through a drive through when the window is 3 feet higher than you is going to suck.
It'll make my commute from Boston to Denver every day a bargin though.

Poisonous? Damn, there goes my idea to have thousands of princesses go out and kiss them.
From what I've seen of Ozzie, especially on TV, he is in no condition to go on tour with a heavy metal band never mind run a major company.

That's what rehab is for.
Rock on!
That statement is perfectly comulent and Ray will embiggen MS.

I know where the other 4 are, they are all in Russia sending me spam and running porn sites.

Actually it is just a geodesy affect. The satellite is drifing 2mm away from the earth and back every time it passes over the artic.

How come the pope didn't complain about them studying the middle and end of the universe? I guess that means they aren't God's work?
