I've never had a college class where the tests weren't 50% or more of the grade. Cheat all you want on the homework, if you don't know the material, you won't pass the tests, and you'll fail the class.
Really, like the program to make the Sahara bloom again, like I mentioned in the very first post? Feel free to stop acting like an attack dog and try listening to what I'm saying.
Making the Sahara bloom again would require changing the climate. Period.
Now, imagine all the government programs have come to pass. The earth now has terraforming stations all over it to maintain specific temp ranges, atmospheric quality, etc. How in the WORLD are you going to make any improvements to the Sahara when you've make any climate change "wrong" and brings the forces of all our laws and technology to fight it? At best, all you've done is taken the dynamic system of nature and locked it up.
It seems to me that you're full of good intentions, but have no idea what you're really implementing as long as it has a blanket of "Saving the world!" covering it. Even if you're not saving the world.
Also, imagine this. I'm an intelligent human being who's also studied the issue and came to my own conclusions. Labeling me a "Fool" might make you feel better when you discount me and move on. But I'm still here and I'll still be living my life countering your beliefs.
Or you can point and laugh at a spelling mistake I've made, deride every point I make without adding anything constructive to the conversation, and go on with your life imagining that I don't really matter.
The Greens are exploiting non-existent global warming to push their programs, why can't I use the "Death star" to push mine?
So, because the Sahara turned into desert, the climate is unstable? By "unstable" I meant like a system breaking down to worthlessness. Not "changes".
It's guys like you that make it impossible to take enviromentalists seriously. It's interesting that you paint me a Republican because I don't echo your beliefs back at you.
If there's a mailing list that people joined, then IT'S NOT SPAM.
sheesh.
All the things you mention are voluntary. If you can't tell the difference between a genuinely political message, and advertising shoveled into your mailbox 24/7 well...I guess you should be running for Congress.
Yeah, you don't *have* to maximize your browser window, but I always do. I run many programs at once, and I find it distracting when I can see them, or the desktop while web browsing.
I've never had text lines too long for me, the only irritation I've had are text boxes with no margins. So the text is crammed right up on the edges.
I believe "The road the hell is paved with good intentions." is directly applicable here.
Are you complaining that people are finding my post informative? It was surprisingly difficult to dig up that number. At best, it was described as a % of GDP. Only by going directly to the government site and pulling up their budget request was I able to get hard numbers.

I know my birthday is in March, I have a sister, and I need to get up early for work tomorrow.
Looks like your theory is seriously flawed.
Eh? I'm using Comcast's premium account and that only gets me 80Kb/s upload.
Which works out to about 8GB a day.
I can hardly wait for FIOS to get to Denver.
Does "Working my first programming job..." ring a bell?
Of course he doesn't have a lot of programming experience.
I don't think it will every be workable. The body just doesn't have a extra "space" laying around for you to run wires through or install CPUs.
The best I was able to come up with was bone replacement. Eyes, teeth, and ears have space in them or are constructed of solid materials.
So?

Interesting. So then you couldn't patent MP3 encoding?
What about the blu-ray format?
I ended up getting a CIS degree.
If I wanted to take the amount of math classes a CS major needs to graduate, I would have become a math major.
The only irritant of the program I took was that they insisted you take classes on JCL. Thanks to State Farm's influence on the university.
The *media*?
You want students going into CS, hire CS people, and give them a work environment where they can actually leave and socialize.
Eventually people will hear that your CS people love their job, and make good money. Suddenly, CS is a good field to be in.
Unless your CS people can't leave work and socialize. Or have nothing good to say about their jobs.
If the climate was that unstable, we wouldn't be here.
I don't fear the "Death Star", I would like to use the fear to get us back into space development, instead of endless "Green" programs.
Why should we fear the changing climate? Is our goal to lock down the weather/temp of the planet from now until the end of time?
I for one, would like to make the Sahara bloom with plantlife again.

Peer pressure on message boards can only make you not *post* dissenting opinions. You are free to go to alternative sites, and no one can stop you.
In the meantime, I've created my own forum and posted whatever the hell I felt like.

Pretty much everything in astronomy is highly improbable.
Alternatively, the methane might simply mean that the planet happens to be very rich in carbon.
Most likely it's because of cows. Space cows.
That's a Chicago thing, not a US thing.
Which is one of the reasons I left Illinois.
Interesting on how limited you are in your thinking.
If your goal is to take down an airplane, why are you limiting yourself to explosives? Just because that's what everyone else has used before?
The oz limit reduces your options and your effectiveness.

Aw, don't be so hard on him. I remember the last time I was fired from a programming job because my poetry sucked...
And according to http://www.socialsecurity.gov/budget/2007bud.pdf, the cost of the balloned budget is what the US spends on social security in a little over a day.
Just to put it into perspective.
Or, you know, the reason the American Public hasn't executed their own President is because they don't want to.
But your mind control theory sounds a lot less crazy than mine.
Why do you sit back and expect others to do your work for you?
Yes, but what makes you think you can build a modern, clean, coal power plant at the same cost of a pre-1970s one?
You should go build one if you can. California is having a lot of power production problems. I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms.
