The water cycle is fairly stable, and short. So in terms of the effect of water vapour and CO2, the effect of CO2 (and other C compounds) is disproportionately high. The real question is how much of the warming is due to human carbon compound emissions and how can we reduce the effect(s) of those emissions?
Hey, we Indians are trying. Our per capita carbon emission is an order of magnitude less than that of a US citizen. Stop driving and start riding bicycles. That will in itself reduce pyour carbon emission greatly.
Quoting from the article: But take a look at the emissions per person and you can see why even the Indian branch of Greenpeace argues that the primary responsibility for tackling global warming lies with the West.
Between 1950 and 2000 each American produced 642.0 tonnes of CO2 emissions. Each Briton toted up 499.1 tonnes. Over the same period the average Indian was responsible for just 16.5 tonnes. That is one of the lowest figures for any country on earth - 164th out of 185 countries - and is less than the average American is responsible for in a single year.
Nah, the problem isn't when you have to deal with technical issues. It would have helped if you were in something whch demands lots of non-technical communications (theatre, or management, or sales...)
If you don't believe me, feel free to respond to this post and tell me what the best development environment / language to write Linux desktop apps in is. Okay, now what's the best distribution? While we're at it, what's the best text editor?
The one that suits your needs best is the one for you. For me, it's vim, Perl, Gentoo, vim. For others it could be different. The point is that there is no best solution out there. I have a solution for my needs. For people with different needs, the solutions are different.
I didn't disagree. You simply have to create enough universes to get all possible results, then use an algorithm similar to the one in the second paragraph.
You just fork 2^128 universes and then search for the one with the correct answer. Searching is O(n*log(n)) IIRC, so it should be much faster. Just remember to reap the child universes.
Except that there are a crapload of applications which do get paid for, which run on Windows. Keep in mind that people object to paying for Ms Office because they think it should be a part of the base OS.
Software which is directly required to run the business for which they need support is paid for, the rest is pirated.
Mass transit works well with a higher population density. Individual driving works well with lower population densities. Killing the US style suburbs would help a lot more in making mass transit more popular and efficient. US style suburbs work well because of cars.
Personally, I would build a local train netwrok, and use buses to act as feeders into the train system. This works fairly well in large cities, and can scale down to smaller ones as long as the cities aren't too small. The advantage of a higher population density is that you can have smaller local stores, instead of mega-malls. Delivery costs get scaled down too, because the bulk of your transit is now done by train.
As more people move into mass transit, there is more revenue generation, which leads to an increase in the money available to upgrade transit quality. A nice positive feedback loop.
Again note that I am specifically taxing cars (and then possibly bikes), but not goods transit vehicles, or commercial passenger vehicles. Tax vehicles based on the time they spend empty in a parking lot, and you should see a big difference in the quality of mass transit.
So what happens when the hole is due to the interaction between multiple components, not all of which may be provided by the same vendor? What happens if you are not running in the recommended safe mode?
In the case of Vista, what happens if you turn UAC off?

Of course not. She didn't know what death was. See the problem?

Well, I was making a joke. The moderators haven't noticed it.
I don't care about it, as long as I don't have to deal with their code.
Because the spammers have all those zombies under their control. Your resources are far more expensive than the most expensive spammer resources.
I only have to fork the universes if the ciphertext is in my universe. Much less work. Now if the moderators would get a clue...

Ganesh isn't the one you want to worry about. You really want to worry about Shiva, also named maha-kaal.
He did. Unhappily, what he wasn't told was that the backup device uses paper tape. In Morse.

Perhaps we need to stop requiring developers to design user interfaces and have UI specialists write that part of the code?
Developers write fantastic User Interfaces. Also see Unix. Not quite what you mean? Find a specialist who specialises in UIs for non developers.
They also have real weapons of mass destruction.
Well, Levy's distribution is about choice. Hence, it obviously cannnot use GNOME.
You mean, like managers?

And the US is winning the Iraq war?
There's the guy from Kochi willing to work for a 5th of your salary.
10 $/gallon gas, car tax == value of car, extremely high parking charges, removal of parking spots ...

Or the government.
