Well, since you are implying that there is no single form of life in the ocean that uses the CO2 that is being obsorbed by the ocean, then you are correct, millions of years ago the oceans became so saturated with CO2 that all life in the oceans died.
Which is why the oceans are barren bodys of water today.
I think I may be the only person who caught the irony of your comment. You indeed offered exactly as much hard fact as most people.
Just curious, does anyone know exactly how many glaciers there are on Earth and what the exact location of each of them is? After all, since they are all melting we should know this.
Anyone know the history of Yellowstone? If you don't, then let's rush in and start seriously changing the global environment for the better right now. If you do, you get my point.
You erroneously consider any land that you may own to be "yours" and in fact private.
Really, land ownership is an abstraction that is actually your governing body giving you controlling rights to an area of land that you have requested controlling rights for. Since all land within the borders of the US is sovereign to the US, the public contract made between the government and whom ever petitions for controlling rights of a given area of land, is issued by the government and therefor able to be revoked. The contract is a public document, not a private one (anyone can request a copy of any deed or title from the Recorder's Office of the applicable county).
These public contracts are created for the public good. They allow for mediation between two parties whom may be in dispute of a given area of land. Thanks to these contracts there is a public record of which areas which people have been granted rights to by the governing body.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Since you asked, a patent tends to be considered either a paper or an effect.
from the parent to your comment...both work like a charm; this includes the widescreen at its designated resolution and WLAN.
Since Mandrake 10.0 WLAN has "just worked". Auto-detect and auto-configure I only got prompted once, that was being asked if I wanted the automagic stuff to go ahead and do it's thing.
Works great, I've even changed cards a few times with zero trouble.
I think the article would be a little bit more informitive if it went the other direction too. What I mean is, where is the description of installing windows from scratch. The going out and trying to decide which version to by to install, the base install, the reboot, the searching for drivers for your hardware, the reboot, more drivers, the reboot, the calling a vendor to try and get a driver version that works on new installs, the reboot, the reinstalling of the first drivers because the later installed drivers broke them, then going out to find all the software you expected to find but which doesn't ship with windows (like Office, Outlook, and Photoshop et al.).
If you think it's hard to get a linux system running and functional, get two bare-OSless machines and put Ubuntu on one and Windows on the other. In twenty minutes on modern hardware your Ubuntu has you able to write an office doc and your HP multi-function printer even completely works with no prompting from you. Two hours later, if the drivers installed correctly, your Windows box is ready for you to spend an hour installing the MSOffice suite.
The article is insightful, but it's from the perspective that your Win box shipped ready to use with all your apps and you just plugged it in. I could ship the guy a linux box that did that too. So could anyone.
But, FedEx isn't doing the destroying, the MPAA is. The laws in that area have yet to be truly put to any kind of test, given that nearly all of their suits settle out of court.
You are correct, I'm not really into rockets, electronics is more my thing. And yes, Himalayas of all the places, in case you've never heard of ideas like this one.
Correct Mr. Coward, "highest" isn't the issue. Height from sea level is, I'll give you a hint why, it's called friction. The height matters very little but the density of the atmosphere matters lots.
Actually, an agreement with India is a good thing in terms of launch site choices. Easier to lauch the higher above sea level you start. India does had those little foot hills called the Himalayas.
I once decided to make a statement about the SUV trend. A lot of people at my office building have them, the type of SUVs that cost ridiculous amounts of money and aren't used for what SUVs should be, the BMWs the Range Rovers and such. I showed up to work in a suit with a brand new climbing harness on over the top of it, a carabiner and a figure eight descender clipped to it and a coil of rope over my shoulder. People gave me the strangest looks you could imagine. One guy asked me what I was wearing and said I looked silly. I said just as silly as you look driving around an all terrain off road vehicle in the downtown business district.
Amazes me how one can be silly while the other is a symbol of high status.
Oh, I forgot, blithering idiocy is the new smart. Well I for one am getting very sick of having to use baby talk at what are (or could be) intelligent people. Computers and computer technology have become a seamless part of everyday life for everyone in the modern world yet for some reason it's the norm to be completely stupid about them. I refuse to hold peoples hands for the rest of my life when they ask me things about the magic dell box thingy. The only people to blame for this are the companies that produce and advertise these products. Do you think if they weren't dumbed down people would simply go back to using pen and paper and rotary phones? No, no they wouldn't. They take two seconds to figure out the simple terms used it technology and probably be smarter, less money-less consumers for it. Oh yeah, I keep forgetting, smart people are a bad thing. Whatever, I'll continue to happily point and laugh loudly and publicly at people who after more than a decade still don't know what a hard drive is. Cruel? Yes. but in the end I find that the people who actually want to know this stuff will remember the info. After all, they are fed up with never getting straight answers from people at Best Buy and on the tech support lines. The people who can't be bothered to learn a few things, to the pens with them at turn them into food like the cattle they are.
So by your logic I didn't buy a Honda Odyssey... I bought a Honda Minivan, 7 passenger, power sliding doors, V6, AM/FM/CD, power seats, hideaway rear seat, AC, automatic, TCS, ABS, side airbags,....
No, what you bought was a Honda Odyssey with a 244-hp, 3.5-Liter, 24-Valve V6 Engine.
Not unlike the guy who bought a Dell Fizzywhatzit with the new 2 core, 3.8 ghz, 2 MB Cache, 800 FSB processor by Intel.
Huh? I explained that stuff to people not unlike my mo back in the early 90s. Now they explain it to other people. The thing about knowledge and infromation is, the really neato thing, is that it isn't tricky to grasp and once people know it you don't have to tell them again.
When was the last time you dumbed down what miles per gallon meant to someone? Or sugar coated what an annual percentage rate was? Perhaps the people you know can't wrap their brains around crazy concepts like how many grams of fat is in their fruit salad?
This stuff is only hard for them to get when no one tells them what it means.
Have fun!

Another example could be laptops. They're still too big to walk on the streets while using them. Better input and foldable displays would soon change this scenario and we would see people editing excel sheets while walking on the pavement!
Wow, and I thought people gave me strange looks when I walk down the street reading a book. But seriously, why would anyone want to do such a thing?

On the way there, Ted was hit by Laura Bush.

Nice interpretation. I'll extend your definition.

Um, in your first sentence you proved yourself and idiot (opps, I mean ediot).
emmigrate
immigrate
If you want to be taken seriously you really shouldn't correct someone who spelled a word correctly and then spell the word incorrectly yourself.
Just some friendly advise.
Perhaps because nothing is happening of note with Apple?
WHat do you mean soon? We already do...
But then you m0r0ns re-elected Dubya...you get no sympathy...
If us morons can ever get the election records from Diebold (fat chance) we can prove the election was rigged.
But, FedEx isn't doing the destroying, the MPAA is. The laws in that area have yet to be truly put to any kind of test, given that nearly all of their suits settle out of court.
Nah, that'd never work. No one would buy a accordion or banjo album. Besides, it's insulting to the liverwurst.
This macro/micro kernel debate is starting to remind me of an old African proverb:
Two birds disputed about a kernel, when a third swooped down and carried it off.
While the debate is interesting, I rather wish someone would just implement either one, a combination of the two or some other idea that is new.
You are correct, I'm not really into rockets, electronics is more my thing. And yes, Himalayas of all the places, in case you've never heard of ideas like this one.

I wonder how many people are going to remember that after the RootKit(TM) they were going to boycott?
