naw, he was right on about the year, just wrong about how Jupiter is going to be touched off.....the real plan is to use Sol to ignite Jupiter, to sterilize the system of primates first.
heh, the earth's climate has always been dominated by the Sun. It's been been hotter than it is now, and it's been much colder. The tiniest increase in output, and it's WaterWorld, baby!
Speaking of toxic tomato/potato leaves, in my wife's country (cambodia) they actually have recipes using tomato and potato leaves. They also have some other "vegetable" salads that are so very bitter I wonder about poisonous alkaloids. Of course, she has a similar opinion about chocolate and various other oily/fatty crap we americans love so much.
I've seen that in health-nut sites & rags, but as biologists classify things, there is a very large family Solanaceae, which has genus Nicotiana (including those bad Nicotiana Tabacum species), and genus Solanum, which includes over 1400 species including the beloved spud & tomatoes. So really not too closely related.....I suspect many health nuts were dropping too much LSD in the 60's instead of paying attention in biology class.
many jobs have been automated over the past 300 years. New things to do have kept popping up. Over the past 300 years, more & more "common people" could be well fed, housed, and be educated. Things aren't perfect yet, but why couldn't technology give people new ways to create wealth?
dude, don't believe that nonsense about Nutrasweet causing blindness or forming wood alchohol in the body - that's a stupid urban legend that's managed to finally make it's way into some fad diet/health nut books, and some whacko emails & websites. There is no basis or mechanism in biochemistry for that to happen. There is no evidence by real scientists that it happens.
the government would ruin it (whether liberal, moderate or conservatives in power at the time)..."naughty" searches (by whatever definition) being flagged, "naughty" results being censored, etc.
RedHat is still giving away a "free" (as in gratis) distribution. But maybe Federa seemed too "bleeding edge" for you? I'm giving it a test spin on my home box & it's pretty good so far.
The other search engines are useful, though google is my favorite. It is interesting sometimes to compare the results each give on a topic. The world would not end should something happen to google.

no, and that's a very weird thing, the Phillipines declaring an independent government in July of 1898, but later that year the U.S.A. "taking it over from Spain" by treaty and for $20M.
bull crap. Radical islamic terrorism is a disease that's over a hundred years old. Even against the U.S.A., it goes back almost a hundred years. Learn some history, I'd suggest starting with the Phillipines in 1911 with Gen. Pershing

yeah, that female menstrual cycle sure can drive a guy bonkers. oh, you meant having to sit through that Sandra Bullock in rehab movie, "28 days later"? yeah, Ebola would have been a welcome relief.
haha - with 20 hours notice, that should give the N.Yorkers just enough time to totally clog the highways & start mass riots....right before we learn the measurements had slight inaccuracies and the thing vaporizes Buffalo. Hilarity ensues.
and don't even get me started about the Ozone hole baloney based on data from less than 5 solar cycles. Now the hole shows a little sign of slowing in growth and they say "oooh, see our measures are working'. The truth is that of course the earth has been much hotter and much colder than it is now, the Sun's output has varied, the magnetic field of the earth has fluctuated & moved & changed polarity.......
oh, *that* game of life. I thought you meant the one where a doctor yanks you out the smelly end of a yelling woman & you blunder about for a few decades until you finally lose.
So what's wrong with knowing who gave you a gift? That there is less likelyhood it was stolen. What's wrong with credit & attribution & recognition? We know who wrote the various parts of GNU/Linux, and for that matter the *BSD (which is less restrictive in many senses, though you still have credit & attribution). Most poople like to have heroes & leaders who are *good*; heck, in the open source movement we have leaders & heroes who sacrified man-years of effort and give us the benefit of it. Most of those good people do have egos; the good kind of ego that likes well-deserved recognition.

those Disney lemmings didn't commit suicide, they were MURDERED! *gasp*

yes, those were the main issues, as you say. I was referring to some lesser known ones (that have even spawned some untrue "urban-legeneds")
THAT is a violation of the GPL

it's our fault we let these diseases of humanity such as "communism" and "radical islam" exist.
they are now distributing Linux under *another* license, which affirms SCO's "intellectual property" rights. This is a violation of the GPL.

suppose this virus also killed other members of order rodentia - beavers, squirrels, etc., and got loose. that would be interesting shizzat alright.
they sent me back here to warn you one of the mice gets loose. Now if you'll excuse me I have to eat a spider. Merry Christmas!
