I think there should be an alternative to Wikipedia called "Chaotica". Anyone would be allowed to change anything anytime to whatever they want.
Can you imagine the entertainment value? One could go to the same subject time and time again and see something different each time. I think it would be very humorous!

Actually, I didn't want to get into unprovable conspiracy theories, but I do agree.
Glad you agree. And I don't want to get into unprovable conspiracy theories either, which is why I won't discuss the offical conspiracy theory put forward by the government that Arabs did it.
Normal building collapses don't go "crak-crak-crak-crak-crak-crak-crak!" then freefall into their own footprint despite being that tall... twice in one day
Three times. WTC 7--across the street from the towers--fell later that same day at around 5:20pm, even though it wasn't hit by anything. Larry Silverstein leased/owned all three buildings and got a big fat insurance policy check for all three. The twin towers needed a billion dollars worth of clean-up work done on them to remove asbestos placed inside them in the 1970s. Lucky guy, Mr. Silverstein... in addition to not having to foot the bill for the clean-up work, he gets billions in insurance for all three buildings.
...and there should have been support columns jutting far out of the rubble...
The core should have remained even if the ridiculous "pancake theory" was true. The core was composed of 47 steel columns that ran through the middle of the towers. It would not have come down even if the floors "pancaked".
Ok, enough of that... I'm gonna get modded into a bottomless pit, haha
Gosh, I hope not. Just for using logic instead of spewing back the "offical" story? Just for thinking for yourself instead of running with the herd? For being people instead of sheeple?
No regulare CDMA/GSM phone works during flight. They're all out of cell range. Maybe in flight 93 they used satellite phone...
There were no calls. Cell phones did not work at that altitude then or now without special equipment in the airplane, which only started to happen recently.
People try so hard to come up with a scientific explanation for the 9/11 cell phone calls because they don't want to believe the alternative: That the calls were faked to support the bogus "the Arabs did it" story. 9/11 was a political event, not a "terrorist" event. It was an inside job to make the American people fearful so they would go along with the Bush administration's militant foreign policy. Christ, just look at the North and South towers as they "collapse"... they are clearly being blown apart by demolition bombs. That's why there was such a huge cloud of dust rolling through the city. It was concrete being turned into powder by the force of the blasts.
Computer models are pure bullshit. You know as well as I do that they consist only of known inputs. That's why they are notoriously inaccurate. They are computer programs. I'd rather listen to a psychic than a computer model.
By the way, did you know that murders go up when ice cream sales rise? It's a fact. Does that mean that there's some ingredient in the ice cream that causes people to kill? No. What they have in common is hot weather. Hot weather makes people more angry and ice cream sells better in hot weather. What's my point, you say? You believe that CO2 levels drive climate change. My view is that CO2 levels and global temperature change by a third factor (i.e., the Sun), like the hot weather in the example above. But you and your kind are hell-bent on the "ice cream causes murder" viewpoint, so you want my SUV confiscated and you want me to weep for my grandchildren over a problem they'll never have to contend with. Fuck that. And when controlling people like yourself can't foist your nonsensical viewpoint on someone, you tell them to "educate" themselves. You elitist fuck.
Two, if the ~100 ppmv variance of the past 400,000 years is the difference between ice age and livable Earth, do you suppose it might be significant that we humans have added an extra 100 on top of that, and, within my lifetime and maybe yours, another 100 still?
I could waste time disputing your data, but I won't. The fact is it doesn't matter at all. Assuming what you say is the gospel truth, so what? How does anyone know what the effect will be? Maybe the Earth will recycle the excess CO2. Maybe it will go into the ocean. Maybe plants will absorb it. Maybe it will create more clouds which will reflect sunlight back into space and offset the alleged "greenhouse" effect. You add 100 to the "variance" and proclaim that the Earth is in deep shit. That is both naive and arrogant. History is replete with examples of "science" gone wrong, and mistaken ideas that only die when their proponents do. I for one won't lose sleep over "global warming" and the cries of the Chicken Little sky-is-falling zealots.
Is that seriously your argument for not trying to reduce the teratons of greenhouse gases we humans dump into the Earth's atmosphere every year?
Sorry to disappoint, but the amount of gas put into the atmosphere by human beings per year represents something like 0.06% of the total. The Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines, for example, put ten times that much into the atmosphere in a single belch. So if a volcano does it, that's okay because it's natural. But if humans do the same thing--but in far less quantity--then we are supposedly disturbing the oh-so-fragile Earth environment. Rubbish.
And just because you call a particular type of gas a "greenhouse" gas doesn't mean that it is in fact having the effect you believe that it is. Global Warming is a religion. It is based on the belief that human beings are impacting the Earth's atmosphere in such a way as to cause THE ENTIRE PLANET to heat up. But to believe that this is happening, we must ignore the fact that the other planets are warming up as well and that the Sun is very active during a period when it should not be. You see, these facts lead away from the "greenhouse" gas theory and lead toward the conclusion that there isn't a damn thing mankind can do about the situation. And it's a scary thing to feel helpless, so it's easier to blame ourselves because then we think we can do something about it.
To think that we human beings can affect the Earth's environment so easily is the absolute height of arrogance. We are not that powerful.
If reducing greenhouse gas emissions can mitigate higher temperatures on the planet they will inherit, or at least buy them more time to deal with the problem, reducing the negative impact of the increased temperature, isn't that still worth doing?
And when the Sun's energy output declines, do we then increase greenhouse gases? You may be able to control the temperature in your house via a thermostat, but that's not the same as playing God with the temperature of a biosphere. Leave well enough alone, I say.
The other planets are heating up as well. Mars' ice caps are melting and Pluto is creating more vapor while moving further away from the Sun. The Sun has also been very active in the past few years despite being in a "quiet period."
"Global Warming" is a religion, not a science. All the facts point to an increase in energy output from the Sun. Cow farts on Mars and Pluto don't seem likely to me.
I don't know who is more dangerous, the "Islamofascists" who are behind terrorism or the Neocons who are willing and able to give away all of our Constitutional rights and freedoms.
They are one and the same. "Islamofascists" is the fairy tale told by the Neocons to drag us into foreign wars. 9/11 was a complete and total fraud perpetrated on the American people by high officials in the United States government.
Two planes hit two buildings, yet three buildings fall straight down at freefall speed in New York City on 9/11/2001. Yes, it's about control and money in the U.S.A.
Slashdot Mirror
This. This is why we can't have nice things. Somebody's got a bad case of perpetual Debbie Downer.
Enjoy it while it lasts. It's not often we see a Global Warming story on Slashdot.
Since 2009, Google has been beta testing a feature in Gmail called "Undo Send."...
So Google has delayed taking back this beta testing feature since 2009?
Users can choose if they want to hold their mail for 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.
Can we choose between seconds and hours? It takes time for the Vodka to wear off.
Slashdot beta is awful. Slashdot classic works well and is very distinctive. I won't be back if classic goes away.
If you offend him, he'll tell you to GOTO hell.

Sounds like a redistribution of bit wealth to me. Those who can't afford the hardware shouldn't make the rest of us do their work. Get a job.

Yes, the constructive criminals are much more preferable.

I spit on this male-sponsored study. Size doesn't matter...it's what you do with it that counts.
