Well I'm sceptical about your definition of denialism. Does that still make me a denialist (whatever that fucking means - the word is denier). If I murder someone does that make me a murderist ?
really, your last sentence makes it plain that even a genuine sceptic is automatically a denialist if they don't immediately accept AGW as fact. So there is no difference between the two terms - why bother ? The fact that you post that with a straight face leads me to believe your grasp of science and logic is not up to categorising others on any subject.
There have been many such papers, but the committee in charge (IPCC ?)has repeatedly decided not to submit these papers to its members for review. Hardly unbiased behaviour.
There is no such thing as a podcast. It's an mp3 file, that's all. It could be a wav or rm or any other format, but some dick thought they were clever by giving an established fact a new name, and as usual it's apple centric.
At a guess, in a very old house. At least you'll be safe from the major forces of nature. And don't give me any of that survivor bias crap. My house was built in 1914, is around 400 feet above sea level and is only 2 miles from the beach. It always amuses me to see people paying 3 times the price for a house on land that was underwater less than 150 years ago. Especially when from there, you have to walk uphill to get to the waters edge. Other things to look out for are old street names such as Well St, Ford Road, Fleet St. etc. They have those names for a reason, and they all have something to do with water, lots of it.
How exactly is a city so important to trade routes based on a river ? If it had never been built the river would still exist, and all that was needed was occasional dredging to keep the water way clear. Without New Orleans you lose nothing. But you seem to want to start from now and work backwards in your estimation of importance. The simple fact is, that when NO was built, they built it on DRY LAND, not reclaimed mud. Which bits survived the hurricane ?
Oh please. If you see the water coming up to the top of the levee in a normal storm, and don't think to yourself "hang on this could be bad" when a hurricane comes right at you, then yes it is your fault. I don't care if they can't afford to move out, if their life is at stake is it sensible to wait until later and then blame the Govt. ? Did the Govt. stop people leaving the area by force ? Your life is in your hands, always. Just because the cross walk is green doesn't mean you don't check for traffic.
A lot of people there probably didn't own the homes anyway, and the ones that did had every opportunity to sell. If you've got fuck all, then you've got fuck all to lose by moving somewhere safe. This is the Darwin awards writ large. And if somebody in Florida keeps losing their house or suffering damage it is absolutely their fault for sticking around. I know a few people there, and they build houses out of wood because they are easier to rebuild after a bad storm. I wouldn't live there, and I certainly wouldn't rest easy at night knowing it was expected for your house to get demolished at some stage.
Interestingly (to me anyway) I am currently reading Asimovs "Of Time and Space and Other Things" from 1968, where he posits that if the night sky were not dark, life would probably not have evolved. To be honest it wasn't his idea (and he doesn't claim it is). In 1826 a German scientist called Heinrich Wilhelm Matthias Olbers (b 1758), who also discovered the asteroids Pallas and Vesta, started an investigation which became known as Olbers Paradox.
To briefly summarise the idea, if you take the estimated number of stars in the galaxy then add up all the light which they are emitting, there should be no dark night on earth, as the cumulative effect of 100s of million of stars would ensure a blinding sky, not to mention an amazing amount of heat. When you add to that the light from other galaxies, the situation becomes even more untenable for life. But trying to solve this paradox led Olbers and later Hubble to discover that stars and galaxies are not uniformly spread throughout the universe, and then to discover further that the universe is expanding and due to red shift, we never receive the energy from those most distant from us. Hence the dark skies.
I did say it was a brief summary ! Interesting read, in a Connections type of way. And also shows how long these topics have been studied before the truth was known. Olbers didn't know what he was looking for, he just thought that the situation needed some thought. When he started, the existence of other galaxies wasn't known, let alone the size of the universe. Most of his work was theoretical as the technology to see the problem first hand didn't exist. Logic abounds in science !
Welcome to the new apple, just like the old apple but with the internet ! Welcome to the age of appliances, and if you think that's a good thing for general purpose computing (not to mention computing literacy), you must have more money than sense.
I look forward to the day when Canonical finally get rid of that pesky Linux thing from their default install. I mean all it does is confuse people who can't run their walmart bought software on it. Die Ubuntu die.
A distribution for those who can't find their ass with both hands.
Sorry but that's bullshit. Pressure difference is the main mechanism for a standard wing to work. You are actually impeding the air flow under the wing, which implies... higher pressure !
The reason for symmetrical wings on aerobatic aircraft is that they impede the flow even more and allow much greater control, at the expense of fuel efficiency.
You would think that wikipedia would agree with your assessment if you were correct, but no, no they don't. Have a read.
Does a 9mm handgun weigh 5kg ? If not, then this argument is irrelevant. Oh, sorry this is/. where the irrelevant is somehow more relevant than the truth.
I've never had a problem either. And I've been running fedora since FC1 and Red Hat before that. Fedora is for those that can, ubuntu is for those that wish they could, but can't be bothered (or can't understand it but still want the kudos of linux). They may as well run OS X.

It's nice to see someone who knows something post for a change. I have F9 and I never had to install "out of band" rpms to get ntfs working.In fact my FC4 install seems to write to NTFS partitions fine. But you have to bear in mind we are surrounded by ubuntu losers here, those who are only linux users because it was sold to them in an attractive manner. The rest of us are here because it was the right thing to do. They are here because it was the trendy thing to do.

Buy a new computer. Seriously. I've never had issues with yum being slow, unless a server is down or there's a DNS problem. Your comment is FUD. In fact any ubuntu / debian post on this thread is FUD. The title is Fedora 12, either discuss it or fuck off.
Dumb users are dumb users. Why don't you stick to a "dumb users" distro and leave the bleeding edge to those who can handle it ? Maybe we don't feel the need to copy MS files into our clean distro. As for debian, they don't want you either. They don't even want debian users involved...
Fuck off. The western world does not consist of the USA. Europe doesn't have software patents. And Fedora is supposed to be a bleeding edge distro, not one with 3 years of support - how many times does this have to be repeated ?
Are you completely stupid ? Maybe we can lower the price of gold by the same technique. If we can get 100k tonnes of iron out of this mine there must be an equivalent amount of gold in there...
HELLO !!! They're called copper mines for a reason.
This must be the start of the 12 year old season, because all the posts seem to be full of ignorant assholes at the moment.
Maybe the job requires more insight into the everyday world and it's origins than just that which can be gained from frequenting Second Life ? There are benefits to understanding the situation in which the software will be used that are only possible with experience. We all hear about how user participation is vital to making good software, but we are users too. Maybe having a good grounding in other subjects gives an insight in how to program for them. It is possible to be a good "blue collar" programmer, but only if you've got the life experience as well as the leet coding skillz.
And how are these chemicals affecting animal population ratios?
I'm unaware of animals that regularly wear sunscreen, makeup, eat processed foods or drink water that has been recycled from water containing birth control chemicals. Does human oestrogen work on other animals ? Besides which, domesticated animals are already subject to our chemical regime in favour of the feminine. More cows than bulls for instance.
Middle Earth may have been a fictional place in Tolkeins works, but it was very real to the Anglo Saxons who originated the term. Heaven is above, the underworld is beneath - the place where we all live is in the middle, hence middle earth.
What is better - full court documents that may indicate remorse of killers, reasons why and what happened, or that just rumors spread out?
Get back to me when (a) wikipedia is responsible for full court documents, and (b) records of crimes are available for perusal outside the country where the crime was committed.
Are they sueing google for holding names in their cache, the wayback machine for archived records of contemporary news reports, or are they taking action against an _encyclopedia_ ?
Either you are for ubiquitous planet-wide access to personal information (including your own) or you are against it. If you are for it only when the person concerned has done something bad, then beware - you don't get to decide how "bad" is defined. Especially in a foreign country.
