Good point, but to be strictly accurate because of the properties of ICE vs Liquid Water the melting of the Artic ice sheet actually lowers water world wide..

This golf ball is going to be moving in roughly the same orbit as the ISS, +/- 50 mph.
The space shuttle and the International Space Station (ISS) move at speeds of 7.5 kilometers per second (17,000 m.p.h.) with respect to the ground.
So the Golf ball will be moving at 17,050 mph
but I'd think the 370 metric ton ISS would make a significantly bigger impact than the golf ball travelling 50 mph faster.
Though its easier to adjust the orbit of the ISS than it is the golfball, and honestly its not going to hit too many satellites at that altitude, more liekly a shuttle of some sorts.
Who in their right mind is going to put anything into an orbit which intersects the ISS orbit?
Your under the assumtion that the golf ball will go exatly straight along the orbital path of the ISS ant not diverge. Can you in a space suit hit a golfball so that the direction of its velocity would match exactly the ISS? Didn't think so. Neither can Tiger Woods.

In terms of relative motion on an object going 46,000mph yes I can. All I have to do is drop it and then in a location on the path of travel come to a relative stop! Or be on an orthogonal orbit which crosses points at the same time! Worse yet on a non orthognal path with a velocity which is in the opposite direction..

I might further note that objects in geosynchronous orbit at the same altitude tend to have pretty much the same velocity. For astronatuts, the threat is from a 50mph golfball, not a 23000mph golfball.
(1) The iss is not in geosync
(2) What if it hits you going the other way?

Sometime in 2003, Pastor Åke Green delivered a sermon at his Pentecostal church in Borgholm, Sweden. It was titled: "Is Homosexuality Genetic or an Evil Force that Plays Mind Games with People?" He cited the main "clobber" passages in the Bible that have often been used to attack homosexual behavior. He said that:
"The Bible clearly teaches about these abnormalities. Sexual abnormalities are a deep cancerous tumor in the entire society. The Lord knows that sexually twisted people will rape the animals.....Because of these sins, the land will vomit out its inhabitants. The political response to this in our country is then what Paul talks about: 'We know God's righteous decree that those who live that way deserve death. Still it is in that very way they live, and worse yet, they think it is good when others do it.' [Paraphrase of Romans 1:32.] "...
"All homosexuals are not pedophiles or perverts. They nevertheless open the door to forbidden areas and allow sin to take hold of the life of the mind. And the one who is a pedophile today does not start out as such. They simply begin by changing their gender relationships. That is how it began. To be 'faithful' in a homosexual relationship is in no way a better relationship than where you frequently change partners. It is equally detestable in the eyes of God. From God's perspective it is to be rejected, and from God's perspective it is as much sin if you frequently change partners as it is to live in a [committed] homosexual relationship. It makes no difference before God's Word......"...
"Those who live that way are not a child of God and cannot be one. We must say it so people hear it. Do not fool yourselves, dear people. It is deceit of the highest level if you think you can fool yourselves. For the Devil says: 'You can be a Christian, and you can be good as a Christian, and you can live like this anyway.' 'You can be faithful in your partnership,' says the enemy of souls. However, the Word of God says something else. Delusions that lead to punishment..."
After trial, Green was found guilty and sentenced to one month in prison. Public prosecutor Kjell Yngvesson is reported as saying: "One may have whatever religion one wishes, but [the sermon] is an attack on all fronts against homosexuals. Collecting Bible [verses] on this topic as he does makes this hate speech."
Thankfully, and eventually this conviction was overturned but it does show the way Europe and Canada are drifting when it comes to tolerance of anything outside the 'desired' standards for religious discourse..
Sorry,
I believe its insane to call parity racism because of the past which is, in effect, what the parent was saying. "Yea we know its really about being poor and not Black but we cant ignore what thigs were like 50 years ago"...
They wouldn't today, primarily because Christians are as a whole content and feel like they're in control, for the moment.
No, they don't. Christians have been jailed in Europe for speaking out on Homosexuality, Christians around the world (China, Nigeria, Malaysia, India, among other places) are under tremendous persecution.
Their governments are largely freely elected, and they have some representation.
What does this have to do with Christianity? Muslims are perfectly free to overthrow their governments and institute Democracy anytime they want. Instead they riot about cartoons in a Danish newspaper.
However, church going Christians perpetrated them, often in the name of God. It's easy to be peaceful when you have what you want.
Actually most of the incident you mentioned were levitate people following Rome's order (at best they could read but commonly not Latin and not until Luther was the Bible translated into the vernacular. I get your point but Christianity left the dark ages behind and by that I mean, mainly trough the reformation, Christians would no longer let the state dictate religion.
So just integrate windows server and clients so tighly, that people will choose windows as server. Not because windows is a better server OS, but because it allows good integration with clients
I hate to be the one to point this out but Client integration *is* a good property of a server OS. Seperating out integration as not making something a good server os is like seperating out security.
The real question is where do we want to count Linux in all this. If, as you seem to be doing, we do not count Linux with UNIX then I am sure UNIX is receding in market share. I tend to count *Nix as including Linux which is far cheaper to implement (Especially across environments).
By the way, I'll also throw a religious/political struggle in here. How about Northern Ireland and the IRA?
Not a religious struggle, it was/is a political one. the IRA were not bombing London because they wanted the English to be Catholic and there were infact green protestants.
By the way, here's a dare for you: Put on a T-Shirt hat says, in Spanish, "THE POPE FUCKS LITTLE BOYS." Walk through various South American cities. See how long you last.
Better yet lets say in egypt someone published some offensive editioral cartoons about Jews, do you think Jews around the world would start torching embassys?
When a few "Christians" commit acts of violence, it's just a few nut-jobs. When a few "Muslims" commit acts of violence, they're all crazy.
Yes youre getting it four in two years equals a few people (Assuming that all four cases were different people even though I would bet thats not the case).
Now thousands of people across many nations trying to burn down an embassy is not a 'few'..
Thats it for this round of Big and Small...
Its not a 'few' muslims its hundreds attacking embassies in multiple countries... And its Religious leaders in the Islamic world refusing to condemn the violence..
Personally I consider throwing molotov cocktails at cinemagoers, injuring thirteen (four seriously), "violence", but I guess your miliage must vary.
Again someone ignored the point that I said there are nut-jobs who call themselves Christians and found one incident where a nut job hurt 14 people.. Compare this to the fact many embassays are being attacked for an editorial cartoon..
To which religion would you assign the people who were bombing abortion clinics?
You seem to be moving the bar here, I never said there were not any Nut-Jobs who called themselves Christians, I said there were note 'plenty' of people calling themselves Christians and being violent.
I do like the appeal to emotion though, way to go on trying to side step the actual discussion by bringing Abortion into it. Sadly for you, however, the facts on abortion clinic bombings help, not hurt my case.
Number of suspected attacks on Abortion Clinics in the US in the past two years.
1/2004 Florida ARSON Remains open
7/2004 Florida ARSON Remain open
1/2005 Washington ARSON Remains open
7/2005 Florida ARSON Remains open
There have been a total of four cases of arson and no bombing in the last two years and only on bombing in the past five years. Contrast this with the fact that 10 baptist churches were torched in *one week* this year and things are in a better perspective no? To get ten attacks on abortion clinics I would have to go back to 2001!
Ahhh so it is kinda like when Bush says 'They dont have weapons of Mass Destruction now but they might in the future'? You cant base a statement like 'christians are just as bad' on what you *THINK* they might do if they had no power..
The fact is a Christian minister in Denmark was put into jail for speaking out against homosexuality... Were there any riots?
To be mroe accurate: We have two big Rules Love God with all your heart, and love you neighbor as yourself. People forget one far too often and use it as an excuse to be fluffy bunny Christians who refure to point out what is wrong..
There are plenty of self-proclaimed Christians who would do violence on people who violate the letter, or perceived spirit of the Bible.
I think you're exaggerating here. There is a handful of nut-jobs out there, not 'plenty'. "The Last Temptation" drew a good deal of protest but not *1* incident of violence. The South Parks that someone else mentioned were brutal but again no violence! The fact is 99.999999-% of Christians would not burn down the Saudi Embassy if they published cartoons making fun of Jesus.
Yahoo is behaving cowardly in this instance. This has nothing to do with respecting other cultures, and all about avoiding undue attention to the corporate entity.
I agree completely and would hope that people can see this is the exact reason *not* to give in..
I even put an extra partition on Windows boxes, *ESPECIALLY* if the user does not know what they are doing. It makes rebuilding a box a lot less painful if the users documents and some of the systems drivers are located somewhere else. On a Linux box I usually make a partition for var (them yum updates can kill ya) and maybe a two gig partition for migrating files in the event I want to do a rebuild..
I don't even buy the idea of having swap space in its own partition.
Not because he is letting his kid go to college (though I would probabally not if I were in his shoes) but because the attitude of "I think it's good to let my son do whatever he wants,".
Sometimes you have to force a kid to do something they do not want to do because they need the experience. Usually parents have to force their kids to study and work hard, this father has a duty to make his kid play 'kid games'. Take him to ball games and give him as much as a regular childhood as he can..
