    You missed the part of his post where he was talking about ECC being created, not HTTPS using it. Do we really want an ECC but in a browser not email, similar to "but on a computer"?

    From the article the patent was granted in 1997, just a few short years later. It is possible that they did the extended application process, but I really doubt the patent covers this.

    For most of the 1970s, nobody knew. So "inadvertent climate modification," while clunky and dull, was an accurate reflection of the state of knowledge.

    The first decisive National Academy of Science study of carbon dioxide's impact on climate, published in 1979, abandoned "inadvertent climate modification." Often called the Charney Report for its chairman, Jule Charney of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, declared: "if carbon dioxide continues to increase, [we find] no reason to doubt that climate changes will result and no reason to believe that these changes will be negligible."3

    In place of inadvertent climate modification, Charney adopted Broecker's usage. When referring to surface temperature change, Charney used "global warming." When discussing the many other changes that would be induced by increasing carbon dioxide, Charney used "climate change."
    Definitions

    Global warming: the increase in Earth’s average surface temperature due to rising levels of greenhouse gases.

    Climate change: a long-term change in the Earth’s climate, or of a region on Earth.

    You will never be 100% certain until it is too late to stop it. At some point common sense has to kick in and say, youknow what there is a 99.99999999~ chance that this is happening and we need to do something.

    Without the discoveries of the Arabs and Africans before them our current civilization would be nothing.. Civilization come and go, ours will eventually decline as well. Even our civilazation has only done better than ancient Arabia and Africa by a few hundred years. Eventually war tore them apart, and could easily do the same to us.

    Thaylin's comment here being a perfect demonstration of such.

    Please clarify, are you saying my comment is an example of hate speech ? there was nothing in my statement that indicated hate. Politicians in a hate group should be outted. When someone places themselve, of their own free will into the public spotlight and says "hey look at me, I am virtuous" then they deserve to be looked at to determine if they are indeed virtuous.

    No, you don't have to buy the lifted truck. No, you don't have to buy a house (but if you do, $2400 a month is not ridiculous - especially compared with rents in that area that are more than that), but if you want to go to a four-year college, you will be paying $100,000. My state university charges $24,000 a year. For in-state students.

    Is that for tuition and fees or tuition and fees PLUS housing? My state school, a top tier school, charges about 6k for tuition and fees, but 13K when you include housing and such.
