Are you planing to do this to every troll on Slashdot, or is this more of a hobby?
Then fight polution on the grounds that it kills people, not on the highly suspect grounds that it casues Gobal Enviormental change.
I do not think that anyone is opposed to clean air , clean water and such. I live in a highly poluted area of North America.
I would love to see the Kyoto Accords implimented.... I belive they will have a great impact on our citys quality of life. I just do not belive they will stop global warming , becasue that is a natural Process outside of mans control.
The Vikings in Newfoundland are probably not the best example for historic Climate change as most Historians place Vinland around New Brunswick/Nova Scotia/Mane.
We just havn't found it yet.
I have NO idea if they grow grapes in Mane.
However it should be pointed out that form the 400 to the year 1500 (CE) there were masive world wide migrations from the North to the South. Angles, Saxsons, Jutes, Goths, VisiGoths, Vandals, Huns. in Europe. Inuit (Rather the people who were before the modern Inuit) abandoned The High Canadian Artic. China Was invaded from the north also at the same time.
If you want more evidence of Climate chage There are Prehistoric Farms that are being uncovered in Northeren Europe that are well with in the current Perma-frost regions.
Britans main Export in the Roman era was Wine (From Grapes)So it had a warmer climate.
Cartharage Was a major exporter of Wheat... Indicating a wetter climate. Now it is just desert.
We can also ask How all those Coral Islands Rose above the surface of the seas also... Did Global cooling lower the water levels, and they are now returning.
"Who kept Britain free of German domination twice in the last century?"
The question should bemore like "Who shows up in the end of the war and who then getts all the credit.
France lost more soldiers in the batle of Verdan then the US sent to Europe in WWI. (France lost more people in the battle of Verdan then the US lost in both world wars.)
England was saved in WWII not by the US of A but by an intense battle called "The Battle Of Britan", and Hitlers choice to invade Russia.
Part II
Lastly you point out that these bombs are used to "peotect us" from bad people. Really. And who gave chemical weapons to Iraq - The US of A. And who taught Bin Laodin to be a terorist - The US of A. And who gave both Pakistan and India the recators that can make nuke bombs - The US of A.
And now the nation that gave chemical weapons to Sadam Hussain is going to have small portable nukes to give to thier "friends"
Your worried about the Navite of Peaceniks?
Jesus Fuck Man your the one who is naieve.
I am a citizen of Canada. I do not want to be fucking policed. I don't wan't your fucking protection. If you really want to "police the world" STOP SELLING FUCKING WEAPONS.
And yes I can not spell.....but at least I can think.
Ah you read the globe & mail.
True it is a long way from say Stalinism, but it is really along way from Capitalism also.
Concepts like Unemployment insurance, Goverement Medicare and the like have a lot to do with distribution by bais of need (Marxism), And nothing all all to do with Distribution by Wealth (Capitalism)

Orwell Didn't write that many books. As I reember it In 1984 the war was an excuse to get rid of unemployed people, and to cover up the basic inefficency in the system. (You can't get eggs to day becasue there is a war on... Like the chickens sundenly stopped laying eggs.)
However It has been a long time since I read the book. (And I suspect Katz as well).
I also have NO idea what Wells story he is refereing to. I do remeber a story about air combat "The war in the Air"....but I don't remeber drones in that one.
And I do remember a short story about Technolagy used in war ("The Land IronClads") But I always thought that was about tanks. It sort of makes the point that Katz was.....grasping for.
Can anyone write a feature? If I wrote one could i send it in?
I have read the originals, or at least all the originals I have found, and I liked them. I liked Love Craft too also Bloody, dirty, and scary. Yumm .
Sorry Dude. your arugument fails.
Arthurian legend, like most of the Fairy, Was an oral tradition that was occasionaly wriiten down.
So most of the original Arthurian sources are lost , as are most fary tales.
And I would like to point out that "Some" does not mean "all". Yes the Greek tales are important. So are Fairy tales. If you want to get picky, the Biblical stories are even older then the Greek, and have had far more of an impact on Western lit. They also are an Oral Tradition that was written down.

"Could it be because the Mabinogion & related stories *weren't* written in verse but prose?"
I had allways assumed that the Mabinogion was written in verse because it came from Bardic Sources. - I allways thought that the bards wrote in verse.
The copy I have by Jeffrey Gantz (Dorset Press 1976) is an enjoyable read.
However that and the "Tain Bo Cuailnge" (Oxford press) as translated by Thomas Kinsella are the only Celtic books I own. I tend to read more of the Mediveal English Texts.

I think you had better pay a visit to either Northern Europe or Canada some time Ace.
Germany, Holland have strong socialist leaning goverments.
Canada while no where near say Holland, is considerably more relaxed the the USA.
A friend of mine who studies biology was telling me about a bar in austria that has a unique organism that lives on its bar.
He was quite happy about this
You are complaining that this stuff only matters to hardcore geeks.......
You are in the science pages of slashdot.
Think about it.
T-rex may not have used stelth but that does not mean he was fast. It just means that his prey was slower then him.
.
As for the duckbill..... That was a damn lucky dino to get away after a T-rex had it's jaws on it's neck
Some predators have speed. Some predators have speed for short periods of time. Some predators can run at full speed all the time.
Could a T-rex move slow Maybe. Maybe not. There isn't really enough evidence to tell.
Good call.
Just out of idle Curiosity
Who is the right person to have a suitcase sized Nuke?
Just wondering.....
So I understand Red and Blue shifting, Does this mean I now have to understand green shifting as well.
(Greeen shifting when you and an object are not moveing closer or away from one another)
I am a bit confused about that as well.
