Yes, the sarcasm was because he wrote: "Only the rotation causes the strong heating in microwave ovens." On first pass, I thought he meant the actual plate rotating in the oven, not the microwaves rotating the water molecules.
A better joke would have been to put a smaller gear in the bottom of the microwave so the plate turns faster...
Did you just say that the main reason your water gets hot in the microwave is because it's going around in a circle and not the...ummm.. microwaves? Cause I'm thinking I could lower my energy bill if you're not a complete crackpot./sarcasm
What the hell are you talking about with dependencies on a Mac? They're built into the app.
And no, Linux doesn't yet have a system to just "sort out the rest of the details for you". Any more than MacPorts does.
And yet again, you still miss the point. The apps ARE what matters for most people - they want iMovie or Movie Maker. They don't know what kdenlive is, and they won't remember even if you tell them.
No, I can't be bothered to google it. My point is exactly the GP's point. 80-90% of the population has no idea what the hell you just said. And it's clearly obvious you just don't get that.
Yes, the warming started about 150 years ago. Slowly.
It's accelerated in the last 50 years.
100-150 years ago not all of the world's glaciers were retreating. Some were still advancing. Now virtually all of them are retreating.
So, why did it start about 1850? End of the little ice age. Plus man started the industrial revolution right about that exact time. Coincidence? Perhaps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age
It's already warming up enough to melt the glaciers faster than the snow can replenish them - even on the coasts where there should be additional snow.
In fact, 4 glaciers have completely disappeared on the west coast.
How about pointing to the fact that most glaciers world wide are shrinking instead of two very small ones that are side by side and slightly increasing? And even in the first link:
Due to strong snowfall it is one of the few glaciers in New Zealand which is still growing as of 2007, while others, mostly on the eastern side of the Southern Alps, have been shrinking heavily, a process attributed to global warming.

Like I always say, Windows is cheap if your time is worth nothing.
Really?? You're going to be able to give yourself bone marrow transplant from your own cord blood at age 30 or so??
I really don't think so.

So you're ok with the side of your head getting slowly cooked?

So....you want me to fix Microsoft's security problems?
Get off the crack buddy.
MSFT already is going after people who they claims to be violating copyright.

Apparently not.
MSFT had cryptome.org taken down under DCMA charges.

Wow, that's precedent setting!
You spend more than $1000 per year instead of accepting that you're going bald?
It's a whole lot cheaper to just go bald.
There, I saved you $3/day.
Hooray for Microsoft?!?!?
Instead of fixing the problem, they just *very* temporarily blocked some of the access to it.
Sounds about right.
Ummm, I believe they go to 10 nines and beyond. Hence they ARE placebos.
Ditto the other commenters.

What the hell is kdenlive?
Seriously.

I think someone has disputed the fact that the quality of health care is good.

Instead of whining, do something about it.
Come up with a better poem.
10% of the speed of light is 67 million miles per hour.
Helios 2 - fastest manmade object ever - went about 150,000 mph.
http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/performance/q0023.shtml
So, yeah even 1% of the speed of light would be 40x faster than anything else we've ever done.
As far as I've ever seen, only Windows converts who don't know any better.

Read the second paragraph.
It's already warming up enough to melt the glaciers faster than the snow can replenish them - even on the coasts where there should be additional snow.
In fact, 4 glaciers have completely disappeared on the west coast.
I doubt both of them combined are replacing the 53 cubic miles being lost in Greenland alone *every year*.

Hell, some of the icebergs being calved there are bigger than your entire glaciers.

Not to mention the fact that Greenland alone is losing 53 cubic miles of ice *every year*.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retreat_of_glaciers_since_1850#Greenland
so what would it take for one of you True Believers to reconsider your theory?
Bigger glaciers.
Yeah, it's not like glaciers are retreating all over the earth or anything!
Whoops.
AND every department now has to hire/contract/support/pay for their own mail server.
The email costs for every university/hospital just went up 10 fold.
Brilliant way to drive more jobs into the economy, though!
