A New Ice Age?

That every global warming prediction scientists have made in the last 30 years has fallen flat on its face.
According to them, we should be all dead by now.
Personally, I'm not sweating anything. There is plenty of evidence that our toxic output is not the largets or the deadliest on this planet, and thankfully things pretty much clean themselves.
I refuse to forget how many times popular science has been wrong.
Oh my, I can't believe there are actually people who don't understand how an electric motor works.
The electricity in a motor creates several temporary magnets which in essence create an endless cycle of magnetic "deflection" (utilizing the both attracting and pushing powers of magnetic fields).
I'm sure a scientist would have a much more technically accurate description.
All I can say is: Am I the only one who got books from the library and made his own little motor when he was 12??
The one I actually bought was the Dell Axim X5. Just another organizer that only keep organized people organized. Also one that has a variety of gadgets and gizmos which don't work well enough to justify me owning one.
'Brilliant', 'Quite Good', 'What?', these are just some of the comments made recently in the press regarding automobiles. Advancments in automobiles can be linked to many areas. Though automobiles is a favourite topic of discussion amongst monarchs, presidents and dictators, its influence on western cinema has not been given proper recognition. Often it is seen as both a help and a hinderence to the over 50, who are likely to form a major stronghold in the inevitable battle for hearts and minds. Here begins my indepth analysis of the glourious subject of automobiles.
Social Factors
Society is a simple word with a very complex definition. When blues legend 'Bare Foot D' remarked 'awooooh eeee only my dawg understands me' [1] he must have been referning to automobiles. Difference among people, race, culture and society is essential on the survival of our world, however automobiles smells of success.
Did I mention how lovely automobiles is? Society is powered by peer pressure, one of the most powerful forces in the world. As long as peer pressure uses its power for good, automobiles will have its place in society.
Economic Factors
Derived from 'oikonomikos,' which means skilled in household management, the word economics is synonymous with automobiles. We will begin by looking at the Fish-Out-Of-Water model, as is standard in this case. Annual Military Budget
Indisputably there is a link. How can this be explained? It goes with out saying that the annual military budget plays in increasingly important role in the market economy. Strong fluctuations in investor confidence have been seen over the past two financial years.
Political Factors
Politics was once a game featuring competitors from elite classes. Politicians find it difficult to choose between what has become known in politics as - 'The two ways' - automobilesism and post-automobilesism.
One quote comes instantly to mind when examining this topic. I mean of course the words of the uncompromising Bartholomew B. Adger 'I don't believe in ghosts, but I do believe in democracy.' [2] I argue that his insight into automobiles provided the inspiration for these great words. If our political system can be seen as a cake, then automobiles makes a good case for being the icing.
Why did automobiles cross the road? - To get to the other side! Just my little joke, but lets hope that automobiles doesn't inspire similar hilarity in the next elections. Conclusion
To conclude automobiles may not be the best thing since sliced bread, but it's still important. It enriches, applauds greatness and is always fashionably late.
I will leave the last word to the famous Ozzy Jackson: 'Oooh yeah automobiles shoo badaby dooo.' [3]

As someone who filled in his WHOIS information correctly (and has suffered the ills of having this information public) I think people should be accurate.
Why? I don't know. Seems to me if you are a big enough boy to purchase a domain name registration, you are a big enough boy not to forge your details. No other industry allows you to do that.
If you are planning on infuriating people and don't want to be stalked, just use the privacy feature. It's like 10 bucks. (I'm assuming this is an ICANN authorized system)
Wait, remove that smiley, that puts me square in "indifferent" or "off-topic" territory.
I want to know how many Slashdot stories each day/month/year/decade use this format: ": The Future of Linux on the Desktop?"
And then everyone is all like "Nooooooooooo, that would totally screw unix blah blah proprietary blah blah blah don't need games blah blah blah I use Slackware and it's good enough for blah blah blah" and "YES OMG YES! This is so totally what I've been saying we needed for the last MILLLLLLLION years!!!"
And then there is the guy that says something like "While I think......it could be that....so we'll just have to wait and see where industry....in the end."
Of course he gets modded to +5 insightful/informative/interesting. Because speculation is definetly all of that. Yeah.
The point would be, genius, that I don't log anything simply because they open up an executable from an unknown source from a P2P network while they were trying to find a crack.
We only collect this information if they click the button.
If they use any other means of exiting the program (ie, Alt+F4) it simply exits.
Yet again, it all depends on what they do....we don't collect anything without them making defined, deliberate actions.
It is not my belief that we are required to tell them that we logged the fact that they clicked "I'm Sorry. I Promise Never to Do it Again."
I would also stress that this information is harmless to them as we proved only that they downloaded a file with the same name as a crack...nothing that poses any kind of threat at all to them.
For those of you attempting to probe the moral questions of this project.
What if my software, downloaded with no warranty from Gnutella, displayed the weather conditions in Kenya?
I'd have their IP, and I could even safely retrieve the ID with legitimate pretenses.
However, since my software rebukes the downloader for downloading a file that appeared to be a crack, it is a Trojan and a danger to the peoples of the free world.
As clifgriffin, I speak for myself when I say that "vigilante" is not a word we ever claimed.
We aren't raging against internet piracy or p2p. We're just doing a social experiment...to see how a program spreads, who downloads it, etc...
Kapersky has flagged it as a Trojan, though I still stand firm in my belief that this is in no way a trojan as it does nothing even slightly malicious.
I don't think we'd have the "Trojan Horse" analogy to fall back on if all the soldiers in the horse had done was send back a message saying they'd arrived.:D

I fear for my generation.
Is about too many drinks, a hot tub, and unspeakable perversion.
I know because...I... *cough* *choke* *die*
*sneaks off*
Who really doesn't see a problem with the current setup?
Varietous interfaces and commands makes things fun, plus it increases one's aptitude.
I say out with pervasive computing.
I agree.
The one I actually bought was the Dell Axim X5. Just another organizer that only keep organized people organized. Also one that has a variety of gadgets and gizmos which don't work well enough to justify me owning one.
Anyway.
PDAs are worthless.
:(
Worst 400 bucks I ever spent.

How talented you are. That's the price of buying a domain...and yes, if I wanted it private I could have that luxury for about 10 bucks a year.

So I will! :)

Anyway, I'm bored. Sue me.
2,000,000,000 is a lot of money.
a joke. :(
She isn't "too keen" eh? I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY!
Only m0r0ns use 133t sp34|.
The point would be, genius, that I don't log anything simply because they open up an executable from an unknown source from a P2P network while they were trying to find a crack.
The logging happens when they click a button.
By design.
We only collect this information if they click the button.
If they use any other means of exiting the program (ie, Alt+F4) it simply exits.
Yet again, it all depends on what they do....we don't collect anything without them making defined, deliberate actions.

I would also stress that this information is harmless to them as we proved only that they downloaded a file with the same name as a crack...nothing that poses any kind of threat at all to them.
We knew exactly who would download it.
Which is why we did not shy away from obvious flags such as the Company Name "C.R.A.P: Citizens Raging Against Pirates".
Morons, yes.
We had the IP when they downloaded the software.
Next.
If the program is altered, it deltes itself.
Not terribly illegal but still illegal.
It would either fall under the category of circumventing technical measures to protect a copyright.
Or reverse engineering a program against it's license.
Or if it is a keygen, using software without a valid license.
If that is in the gray area, my software is pretty legally safe.
For those of you attempting to probe the moral questions of this project.
What if my software, downloaded with no warranty from Gnutella, displayed the weather conditions in Kenya?
I'd have their IP, and I could even safely retrieve the ID with legitimate pretenses.

Just a thought.

A consumer oriented decision in this case. Web developers and users everywhere should start clapping.
I'll be the first.
*clap*
I tested it.
Some guy answered.
I hung up.
Well get this campfire going and soon everyone will come around to feel the glow..
Then we'll sing songs and make smores.
Do anyone know if this version will work with Plan 9?
