Hahaha, I am NOT Australian, man... AUSTRIA != AUSTRALIA, therefore no kangaroos here. And no shrimp bbq neither, unfortunately. Usually, we put up with grilling sausages and... stuff.
Now, for that guy calling me Troll - you see _now_ what I was talking about?
Oh, great, thank you very much for planting this disgusting picture in my head where it will probably remain for the weeks to come! Gotta go over to redtube or youporn or redporn or puretna to get my brain washed with better pictures.
Now that I previewed this post, I'm a bit ashamed of my it...
In Europe, the most medical doctors scoff at the notion of taking medicine "just in case", "even" if it's an aspirin. If there is no medical reason to apply medications to your body, then DON'T DO IT. That is the widely spread and accepted attitude.
Now, of course you can choose not to believe MDs and rather to design your own medication programs instead, but you should not mod a person down saying this would be a dangerous and a stupid thing to do. Disagree != Troll!
Our glorious IT department, guys who just happen to jump to ANYTHING Microsoft releases, moved our intranet to Sharepoint some 6-7 months ago. We are a 1000 man high tech company, producing our own safety critical hardware and software used in civilian and military applications. We have a full-time, large IT department, so we are not just a mom&dad shop who don't know how to turn on the computer.
Here is our experience with Sharepoint:
- It's SLOW AS HELL. It is mind-blowingly, unbelievably slow. I have NEVER seen such a slow system in my life!
- The search function is un-useable, except for poking fun at results. Rating hits in some xls Documents higher than hits on wiki pages - COME ON, MICROSOFT, EVEN YOU CAN'T BE THAT STUPID!
- Collaboration? Yeah, right - 2 guys from my department worked with 2 other guys in 2 other departments on a document. After 3 days, the damn thing just swallowed the document! No way to roll back, no way to find it (IT also gave up after a few hours of search). It's GONE!
- The WIKI functionality (editor) is awful. Just awful. It changes the spacing between lines at its' liking. No way to fix it, short of turning to HTML mode and repairing it manually, just to see it f*** up again after the next update!
I could go on forever, but I guess you get the picture. MS sure does have some fine products, although I despise their business practice. Sharepoint, however, is NOT one of those fine ones!
No need to get all upset about this, boy. Just keep civil, you'll get more audience.
Now, sorry for pointing out the obvious, but extrapolating the future advances in the area of climate (or "sea level") control from the past advances in computer technology is... not very scientific of you. Since the dawn of men, we moved not one little step towards climate control (I don't count shooting the clouds in order to lower the danger of a hailstorm as "climate control"). If you allow, I'd not just bet the future on "well, some day, a smart person will figure out how to fix it, so who cares" approach.
So... 7m raise in sea levels is OK for you if it doesn't hurt you personally?
I haven't seen the film you are talking about, and I can not comment about whether the 7m raise is a realistic prediction or not. I also can't comment on whether it will be caused by humans or not. However, you also don't seem to argue such points, you only seem to be saying "oh, it'll happen in a 1000 years, so who cares".
I don't think your in 1000 years living grandgrandgrand....children would be happy with this statement.
I almost don't dare to ask, but anyway... what, in your oppinion, IS a "standard" use for sheep? I most certainly hope it's not what I think YOU think it is!
And then again, 6510 assembly sucked big time when compared to my Speccy's Z80 assembly!:-)
The only thing good about C64 was the sound chip (SID, wasn't it?) and - to an extent - the graphic engine (sprites - I had to program them on my own on the ZX Spectrum).
As it seems, Apple tries REALLY hard to surpass Microsoft on the list of the most hated IT companies. This stunt they just pulled with the C64 emulator is pure idiocy!
Actually, the line between a "genuine democracy and a free market" on the one side, resp. "bandits take advantage and set up their warlordistans" on the other sometimes IS a rather thin one.
Isn't it cute, yet another attempt to put the term "race" in the context of human beings on a "scientific" base!
Among biologists, it is widely accepted, that the variations in the genetic material found among humans is by far not enough to justify the term "race". There are people with diffenent looks, yes, and with somewhat different physical abilities, but that's just about it. As far as genetics go, there is no such thing as human races.
Ooops - missunderstanding. I thought you wanted to say "well, if your kid already doesn't trust you anyway, just take the bloody helmet and knock it out", as if it were a viable option.
However, if you take that route, you'll never establish a good relationship with your kid. This would be something like just giving up and saying "ok, I'm a failure, I'm a worthless little maggot, and I don't even care, it's fine with me if my kid grows up to become a criminal, I'm too lazy to even try to bring him up as I should". I suppose this is a perspective one probably can't realize without being a parent, it really changes the views about many things.:-)
Go ask one of the poor girls usually called "crack whore" whether she loves her job or not, and see what she'll tell you. Or how she'll watch you. Ask her whether she enjoys being beaten up by her pimp, not payed by her customers, being sexually "used" (no better word) in ways she doesn't like because she can't afford to say no.
Classy whores, flying around in jets and hanging around with Paris Hilton and her ilk, are a minority, and so are also the girls working in good houses. The most girls out there, on the streets in cold and in the rain, HATE it having to be a whore - and this is not me talking out of my ass, this is based on the first-hand information I received from one of them. If you think the most of them DON'T hate it, go seek some professional help.

Let me guess, you are an US american? :-)
OK, let me try to avoid that scenario: NO KANGAROOS IN AUSTRIA

Well, once upon a time, a certain republican candidate was voted against even though his opponent had NO pulse whatsoever... :-)
You realize it will be all-men crew, do you? :-)
Now, why in the world is this modded as "troll"?

OK, I calmed down. Now I go back to work...
Hey, wait, actually it was a PRO CLIO article... :-D
French have some remarkable technology and engineering achievements to show off. Heard about Airbus? French cars are also WAY better than their image.

Well, it was a vocal minority in the US, that hated President Bush... now I gather it's a very nice majority that was happy to see him leave.
Actually, the line between a "genuine democracy and a free market" on the one side, resp. "bandits take advantage and set up their warlordistans" on the other sometimes IS a rather thin one.
Especially regarding the "free market" issue.
"we" can not define race as a difference in fenotyp. Race is already defined by biologists. Not as "differing skin color".
The "race" term, as you seem to be using it, is a political category, not a scientific one.
Isn't it cute, yet another attempt to put the term "race" in the context of human beings on a "scientific" base!

Sorry, my mistake.
Hehe, sounds not bad at all, on the first glance.

Sure, that's the best way to earn your child's trust... NOT!
This... "device" is just unbelievable! It actually sounds like an April Fools joke.
You should not trick your kids into things, especially not things like *this*. Which sick weirdo even came to the idea??
As a father of three, I must say this device makes me feel sick in my stomach. >:-(
You're really dense.

Consider this conversation done. Now bugger off.
