No see the pen corresponds to the ionosphere. Thus noting close proximity and therefore familiarity hence it should be well understood...and.... you know what? He should have taken notes on the computer. *sigh*
It's amazing how we look out into space and note the minutest changes and this happens at our back door. I picture a guy looking through a huge telescope at a far flung constellation. Then, wishing to take notes, leaning back and gasping, "Now where's my pen!?"
Indeed? More funding than, for example, the heavy industries which are generating lots of CO2?
Actually more. Convince a company to go green you get a green company. Convince a government that GCC is a human-induced phenomenon and that companies are the chief culprits, couple that with a huge media machine generating some hysteria and you get a perfect storm for compulsory adherence to something that scientists themselves are still debating. Oh, and also throw in some "every body knows" arguments and some "no credible scientist will debate" arguments and the truth gets sacrificed on the alter of politics. I don't know if man is the cause or if it's cyclical. Unfortunately, no one really cares at this point. Like most things political, we line up on our side of the chess board and await our move while spewing vitriol at the other side.
"But in the future, things will be built not from the top down, but the bottom up -- as in nature." Agreed. As the above statement suggests and frankly, makes the notion quite exciting!
"We can't fire our torpedoes, Sir, the system is rebooting! And it could take awhile. Someone loaded Weatherbug, Yahoo! Toolbar, and and Gator on this thing not to mention Norton will do a full system scan on boot!"
Gone are the days where you can pick and choose based on which issue you support and don't support. We're already in a union of sorts as Americans. We vote a two party system where both parties may have positions we support but we're force to accept the party line based on how we vote. Most Americans oppose unions, I'd venture to guess, but most Americans wanted the Democrats in control. Sorry, can't have one without the other it would seem. Such is the great paradox of our political system.
Well if you lean Obama's way you can feel "that the oppressive feeling has left" but what about those they consider dissent? Love him or hate him, Joe the Plumber didn't deserve a government worker digging into his records. In our current two-party system power is paramount. Don't think for a minute we can breathe a big sigh of relief unless you're willing to drink the coolaid of whichever is in power.
I seemed to recall at COMDEX '95 when Gates showed up to talk about CD's and everyone else was discussing the Internet. So yeah, he certainly never counted on it.
I'm not talking about giving him the right to control her body. Once she has the baby he should have the right to "abort" as well. Not literally, but figuratively. Under the law now she controls his responsibility in the matter yet she can obfiscate her own via abortion. He has no such option.
Fits? Me? Dude, you're about to blow a gasket. Beer...joint...Dude, whatever it takes just calm the fuck down!
OTOH, you get the cutest wrinkle riiiight there when you're mad!;)
Wanna stop abortions of convenience? Give the father a right of writ of abortion. Give him the same ability under the law and that shit will stop tomorrow. "You're honor, I can understand my ex-girlfriend wanting to have my baby and I wish her well but I'm not at a point in my life where kids are plausible. I wish to invoke my right to abort my rights and responsibilities to this child. You know, the same option she not only has under abortion law but also adoption."
The myth of Haliburton's "sweetheart" deals is that they are a logistics company that has had government contracts for some time and under various presidents. Let's see if you're equally as hard on the Obama when he starts hiring his buddies. Wait, he already has. Frankly I'm more disturbed that "change" means hiring old Democrat stallworts than I am Haliburton getting a contract.
There's a simple solution. Move there. Nuff said. This country was founded as a representative democracy. Turning it into a socialist system is in effect treason. Those who advocate it are traitors. That's not my opinion, that's simple logic.
Thankfully, not. Especially given the number of scientists who had to clarify what they said post-film. Gore would make a better pick if you want political savvy, however. I'm not sure a climate "specialist" from Berkeley is much better but it's refreshing NOT to have a politician.
3. now that we have nationalized the car industry, we put a gun to the heads of the fuckers and detroit and force them to make more, cheaper electric cars. force this on them as a priority ....of course, the american consumer has to be dragged kicking and screaming out of his SUV and into a post-oil and coal future.
Socialism is grand, isn't it?
I'll await the inevitable mod-Flamebait from those who "get it!"

Lots of small things working together also creates redundancy.
Let's just hope this redundancy produces a single sky scraper as opposed to 50+ distro's and a dozen or more winmanagers! :p

His intentions are good. That's all that matters in politics. Wait this is science...no my bad. It's Global Climate Change so it's politics.

Alternate reality's a bitch! With lasers!
All of this to view Madonna's vajayjay and from what I gather she'd have let them get a close-up had they asked.
You know somewhere in another universe this thing is working fine.
I'm seeing a Windows 7 commercial ala Capital One's "build your own credit card!"
"Shutup, Igor! I'm building my very own Windows 7 OS! Let's see, yes I want TCP/IP! And a FIREWALL! YES! BWAHHAHAHAHA!"

I can answer this very easily....BECAUSE IT'S A TAX!! Tax=bad...like kicking puppies! It should be axiomatic!
