I guess you all failed to read what i said after it - "but i could do and i WILL need it when i'm older. So i pay into my fund now which means my premiums stay lower, and the industry benefits from it as a whole."
"Y'know, I've noticed over the years that there is a high degree of overlap between people who deny human-caused global warming and those who cannot spell."
don't talk about my spelling when you start a sentence with "Y'know".
oh and my poor gramma invalidates my points because.....?
we tire of you because you refuse to acknowldge basic climate science and refuse to follow proper scientific methods.
1. CO2 is a very minor greenhouse gas
2. The amount of CO2 re release into the atmosphere is pathetic compared to the other gases - a mere 0.28%
3. The hottest years on record predate the industrial revolution
4. There are a number of other factors such as the above that you can't/don't give an explaination for (solar activity being one), and you simply resort to either the "your workin for big oil" or the "i'm more rightgous than you" defense, neither of which is a valid scientific defense.
if you prepare your garden plot with mulch and rip out the weeds before they become a problem, then no it's not bullshit.
scale doesn't even come into it with backyard gardens, the whole process is totally different. it sounds to me like you just don't know how to grow your own veggies. $1 for a packet of seeds, $2 worth of water, $2 worth of fertiliser. a seed packet comes with 50 seeds or so in it (lets say tomatoes) if only 20 of those germinate each plant can grow 5kg's of fruit. that's 100kg's of food which would have a market price of about $300 for only $5.
then you don't understand your own industry very well. insurance companies are actually a FUND. they take your payments and invest the money and make MORE money on it that way, and when the time comes and you need to draw on that fund, then they pay out (and not very much i might add)
i don't have the link but i seem to remeber the top fund in australia pays out more then 90% of it's memebers fee's in health care.
i'm young and fit and i hardly have any need for health cover, but i could do and i WILL need it when i'm older. So i pay into my fund now which means my premiums stay lower, and the industry benefits from it as a whole.
it's easy to make a p2p app too much of a moving target for any monitoring software to prevent.
first step is to encrypt, when you encrypt something it's not possible to tell it's encrypted, you just can't read whats there. the only way to tell it's encrypted is to monitor a port. this is where you could introduce port hoping, where you use a standard https port to do a handshake where you and the tracker make a randomised set of port changes every 1 hour.
now i know what your going to say - the isp's software could start monitoring trackers and joining in and getting the port changes that way, but have you seen the number of torrents out there? i just don't think such a thing is possible.
I also think it's bullshit to claim it was easier to download a song in 2000, go on any of the dozens of torrent websites and you'll find anything you want in 2 seconds flat.
lastly, why should it be up to the isp's to monitor this? how the hell is it their problem? only luddites suggest isp's are responsible to people browsing kiddie porn or other sick shit, yet somehow it's different when it's the RIAA.
you might not the conclusion: "70-90 years oscillations in global mean temperature are correlated with corresponding oscillations in solar activity. Whereas the solar influence is obvious in the data from the last four centuries, signatures of human activity are not yet distinguishable in the observations. "
I love how they have put forth models that show the world cooling, so that no matter how the earths climate changes they can claim to be right all along.
oh and no the earth won't be affected a lot more, if you think that you don't know what the hell your talking about because mars lacks our moving molten core giving us a magnetic field, mars also lacks our atmosphere.
I just love throwing the fact the sun's activity matches our warming trends, because it always triggers off the insecurities of the global warming crowd.
I can confirm this. unless you have very expensive gps gear that has been calibrated off a known survey point, your best accuracy is 20m.
but honestly, does anyone believe the claim no one will be buried within 5m? when they start running out of room the temptation to make that 5m to 2m will be too great.
I astounds me that people buy shit like "freshness liners" for coffins, or give a crap about the softness of the coffin pillows.
people, when you die, YOU WILL BE ROTTING MEAT. no different to that cat/dog you buried when you were 12.
Look at it this way, no matter how much of a useless bastard you were in life, if your buried in the ground with trees around you, you'll finally be put to good use.
that's not the point i'm trying to make. my point is that you can't convert one source of stored energy (bio mass in this case) 100% into another source of stored energy (ethanol).
none of your examples are an energy conversion, so they don't apply.
they would probably argue there is, but i'm pretty sure you could win based on the fact they sold you the right to listen to song X on digital media, which they reneged on without your consent. contract law is about fairness for both parties, and ripping away something you paid for isn't fair.

epic fail. they still weigh 100 pounds on earth and it's getting INTO space where they will weigh nothing that's the expensive part.
sssshh, it's yet another link to global warming. if you disagree you MUST work for big oil.

utter bullshit. insurance is a gamble, always has been. the house (insurance companies) are simply trying to load the dice.
no monopolys or duopoloys - real competition.

it's very few real scientists that are the problem, it's the nut jobs that latch hold of genuine research and try blow it out of all proportions.

it has to be man made. the sun and natural effects couldn't possibly change the weather!
this is just another case of big companies trumpting free markets only when it suits them....
the concept of an afterlife in modern religions is purely spiritual, people are well aware their bodies will rot when they die.
good job revealing your bias in your attempt to drag the conversation in a different direction though.

... bittorrent has them backed up for you.
maybe on paper the 1000W heater example works, but in practise it's less than the 1000W, even if only by a small amount.
let me guess you can't come up with a good answer so you have to post babble as an AC
