Try "It would be even better if it didn't have propagation time, but, hell, I'll settle for the speed at which a laser normally travels through a fiberoptic cable."
You could split in into two sentences at "time" and "but" if that makes it more clear.
Well, I certainly hope you're right. (And I don't think I can come up with much against your numbers.)
thecounter.com April 2002 statistics show IE (all versions just over 96%, but I've heard that they serve some big Windows websites. I'm sure not many Linux sites use www.thecounter.com.
I expect the Google logs are a better indicater (http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist/apr02-brows ers.gif) but since that image doesn't mark the percents, it's hard to tell exactly where things stand. (Looks like it is close to 75-80% for IE though.)
I'm pretty sure I don't. I can't say for sure that 40f is correct, but I know that at 4f water is froxen, and ice generally floats. That's what makes water so special.
Well, you're right about the poles*, but you still haven't hit upon the primary cause of sea-level rise. Water is at its densest at ~40f. As the average temperature goes up, the water will expand slightly. Since the ocean is so deep (compared to how far coastal zones are above sea level, I.E., not far), a miniscule percentage rise in sea level would flood a lot of land.
* Sadly, my environmental biology teacher seemed to consider it even more intuitive the other way around. He thought it perfectly obvious that as floating ice melts, the water level will rise, but less obvious that ice on land would raise the water level after melting. Same guy that told us seasons were caused by the Earth's axes "wobbling." [/digression]

If a page displays in IE but not in Mozilla then if the page follows the specs, it's a bug with Mozilla. If the page doesn't follow the specs, the error is in no way Mozilla's fault. Apply the specs to the page, not the web browsers.
Sorry, i'm confused. How do you slingshot around Venus when you're going out of the solar system? Seems like that would be counter-productive unless you can manage to slingshot around the sun too, which seems pretty weird.
We've had solar panels in space for a long time. If they're damaged, we (the scientists, that is) should know by now. There's no special radiation hitting just the surface of the moon. The ISS and many (most? all?) probes used solar panels and should've been subjected the exact same radiation, for the most part.

No area of the moon is "pummeled by meteorites" with a frequency worth mentioning. The moon is covered in craters for two reasons:
-When it was new, there are a heck of a lot more meteorites around. By now, most of the debris in the solar system has been "swept up" be planets. (Actually, the moon's new enough that this might not have a large effect.)
-No atmosphere = no erosion. Craters from ten million years ago are still in perfect shape.
My initial reaction was the same, but if you really think about it, as long as they only introduce K-strategist species such as the big mammals tourists are most interested in seeing, they shouldn't be too hard to contain. If the elephant species gets out of control, we can wipe them out easily, as we've seen all too well.
Rabbits reproduce quickly and don't have body parts that sell for 50,000 each.

I can say more "bad words" in public than before too. Most of the stuff we rant about as "horribly eroding the first amendment" (which it may very well be doing) wouldn't have been allowed when this country was new.

Editors only edit writeups to correct blatant mistakes, and they do not litter posts with swear words. The only time I, personally, have edited another person's writeup is to remove ampersands that were added during importation, and I always message the noder about it.
E2, for me, should be more factual than it is, but it certainly isn't primarily "in jokes." When searching for something factual, I search E2 first and on the rare occasion that there isn't a good factual writeup about it I then go to Google. E2 has many factual nodes.
A lot of it is crap, but you paint a very bleak--and false--image of it.
I first saw DMan in his node [Don't force your gay philosophy on me], and he was very much bashed unfairly. Already then people were commenting "people like DMan shouldn't be allowed on E2." Pretty much everyone responded to DMan, treating him as a troll, including me. DMan's writeups are mostly inflammatory, but he was treated unfairly to some extent.
However, as for his factual nodes being voted down, that's bull. DMan had the highest XP/writeup ratio of anyone; he flew up Best Users faster than anyone else ever has. It's only his opinionated nodes that were voted down--unfairly to some extent, but, as I said, they were written in a very inflammatory way.
Premise 1: Internet and violent video game usage has increased in The United States in the past 7 years.
Premise 2: Violence (among minors) has decreased in the past 7 years.
Conclusion: The Internet and violent video games lower violence (among minors). QED.
But wait! Barney and Teletubbies viewing has gone up during the past seven years too! Not only that but NON-VIOLENT video game usage ALSO has increased! THOSE must be the cause!
In fact, thousands of things have changed, both in parenting methods and schooling methods. Saying that violent video games caused the decline in violence among minors is completely arbitrary without any evidence to back it up.
...you're shooting terrorist, people who resigned from societies protection when they picked up guns and started shooting innocents. Whatever happens to a terrorist is fair game.
Good grazy, man! You sound like a low-budget children's action show (Re:Dragonball Z, Power Rangers, etc.): The good guys are good because they kill (not arrest and rehabilitate, not kill by lethal injection, but kill as in murder) the bad guys. That's not the way it works in real life. Killing innocents does not waiver their right to a fair trial. Killing them, rather than arresting them waivers this right, and is therefore, wrong.
If the only way to prevent them from killing an innocent is to kill them immediately, without the trial, then it's okay, IMO, but otherwise it's not.

You can make Netscape 4 ignore your style sheets by using @import, which NS4 doesn't support.
Also, IE will ignore any styles following this:
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family:inherit;
Try "It would be even better if it didn't have propagation time, but, hell, I'll settle for the speed at which a laser normally travels through a fiberoptic cable."

Hmmm...looks like I mean 39.2F which is 4C. So we're both right, and I apologize for using an archaic system.

You're probably right. Thank goodness!

Actually, it's closer to 96%, and that will probably go down a little when 30 million AOLers start using Gecko.
Erm...you're talking about Germany, the country with the third largest GDP in the world, right?

And of course there's the Mozilla Google Toolbar for people who don't use IE.

Jupiter only emits more energy then it absorbs because it's so big that it's still releasing its formation heat. I expect Earth did this at first too.
