A lot of us have been pointing this out for years. I've been called "stupid" and "short-sighted" when I've brought it up
Really, short-sighted? It's pretty fucking obvious to me that short-sighted is just assuming men in white lab coats or the market are going to solve your problems. Too many humans consuming too many resources to maintain a lifestyle that is (in most places) too high.
You can switch and shuffle around your source of energy all you like, but you're always gonna hit the cap of the most limited resource to make that technology possible
Pretty fucking obvious
The only thing that looks remotely promising is Thorium-Fluoride reactors, but that won't really help with the water crisis, liquid-fuel crisis, food crisis, etc
Too many people, people. Malthus is back in style!
I think the key here is your assertion that "some things are so well-known that they are certain."
I would trust that you would agree with me that we don't quite have the same handle on fusion physics that we do on, say, Newtonian physics (and the Earth being flat).
"Nothing is impossible YET as far as cold fusion is concerned." is a very valid statement. Especially considering our still limited grasp on physics.
I think this addition is also pretty easy to infer from the original poster (if you pause and think for a second).

Should have used self-sealing stem bolts...
I had problems with my right hand until I bought a Wacom tablet to replace it with. It feels much more natural.
I would give it a shot.
"(with Photos)"?
Is this fark? Anywya, I believe the correct nomenclature is "(with pics)".
"Very," witty "reply."
Duke sucks!
"Hey that's sexual harrassment!"
"Put your finger there again and lose it!"
"Don't touch me, weirdo!"
And, my favorite,
"Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?"

So it's not impossible that that cliché is wrong, then.
Yes, it's possible that something is impossible. I don't know the parent poster, but I'd imagine he could easily concede this.
Straw man.
Okay, besides throwing out fallacies, can you make a reasonable argument that we are at the limit of our knowledge?
Rewrite as:
If you think humanity is at the pinnacle of knowledge, you have quite a rude awakening coming.
So, hah (arms akimbo).

Oh come on, where are the mod points for G00F? That's a great line!
Zing, sir, zing.

Spam Denial Of Service?
Okay, that acronymn is pretty crappy. What can YOU come up with?
It really depends on the intent. People do use nigger and nizzle (in a benign manner) all of the time.
You don't always have to throw out words like "jew" and "nigger" with malice.
And I don't believe the original poster intended his remark as a slight.
I agree, I use jew frequently in a casual context.
I do not think its a big deal.
I am no expert on inflatable dolls, but I think you are supposed to make love to them, not whack off looking at them.
SCP and SSH are your friends.

Besides, if you want to steal *my* code, you obviously haven't seen it.
How about not even in the office?
Equip your employees with a wireless laptop and a corporate account at the local Starbucks, Borders, or coffee shop hotspot.
I would love to work for a company like that!
Hahah good one. :)
+1 Interesting.
I'd give you informative, but I have no idea if your numbers are correct.
Nick,
This word 'reality', I do not think it means what you think it means.

I'd be all over some main street real estate, but those giant walking, talking penises are gonna make prices dip.
Non-bloat software? I'm surprised the Army didn't just try to strap a nuclear power plant to the soldier's back.
Pork! Pork! Pork!
People, keep in mind, the above is potentially astroturfing by JBoss!
Why not publish the taxing rules and let someone
throw together a Postgresql/Apache software package?
Still better than the average woman driver.
