Let me guess....you just pulled that out of your ass didn't you?
Let me reference nasa.gov:
"While recent studies have shown that on the whole Arctic sea ice has decreased since the late 1970s, satellite records of sea ice around Antarctica reveal an overall increase in the southern hemisphere ice over the same period."
Get your stories straight or don't post..misinformation doesn't benefit anyone
Do you think it is possible that there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of man at work there?
Well, that is obvious..Just as in Democracy, Communism supposes equality, but as G.K. Chesterton once said:
"The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man."
There is no basis for Communism either except in a dogma about the divine origin of man, and that's why it ideologically fails from the beginning!
Because the smart students have started realising education is pure bullshit.
27. Education is slavery, it enchains the mind and makes it a resource for class power. When the ruling class preaches the necessity of an education it invariably means an education in necessity. Education is not the same as knowledge. Nor is it the necessary means to acquire knowledge. Education is the organisation of knowledge within the constraints of scarcity. Education 'disciplines' knowledge, segregating it into homogenous 'fields', presided over by suitably 'qualified' guardians charged with policing the representation of the field. One may acquire an education, as if it were a thing, but one becomes knowledgeable, through a process of transformation. Knowledge, as such, is only ever partially captured by education, its practice always eludes and exceeds it.
Lots of poor countries that aren't predominantly muslim have crappy human rights records. Yawn.
That doesn't mean it's OK for the Muslim faith and the fanatics supporting it to destroy human rights in the countries they rule.
Tell that to abortion doctors murdered by fanatical Christians.
I never said fanatical Christians are any better..but most countries with a Christian population are not ruled by religious fanatics, while many Muslim countries are. (and no, Bush does not qualify as a religious fanatic). Also, abortion doctors are pretty much nobodies, while Van Gogh was 1) a celebrity and 2) someone who actually did something to reveal some very bad stuff happening...the two types of murders we are talking about are totaly different
Considering the laws of many Muslim countries and the resulting state of civil liberties there, various terrorist acts around the world and especially the murder of Van Gogh, I think Muslims are more than scapegoats and some people's fear of them is kinda justified..
I mean, hell, terrorism actually works for fucks sake, people aren't depicting Muhammad in order 'not to angry the Muslims'
If we ever want a good web, the current mentality must be disposed of..
The web today is built on transferring documents and everything else is a hack on that...we need something more unified, easier to code...something that will put the client and server side together in an intuitive way, not the AJAX crap flying around ATM...
Wow, this is so terribly wrong I just can't find words to describe it.. Maybe instead of spending big sums of money on hydraulic, public (WTF!) urinals it would be better to try and create a culture where people DON'T urinate in public places? Fucking barbarians..
silly responses like 'the planet is angry' someone didn't like FFVII:P
Anyway..why can't we get the FF titles on the PC? I absolutely loved FFVII but I don't own any consoles, the PC is my gaming device of choice...why the hell can't they just port to the PC?
There's a place called the rainforest; it truly sucks ass.
Let's knock it all down and get rid of it fast.
You say, "Save the rainforest," but what do you know?
You've never been to the rainforest before.
Most CS students are taught math as it is and they then have to connect it themselves to their programming classes, etc..
This, of course, is absolutely stupid: math should be taught through programming and not the other way around..most of it is useless to a good programmer anyway as they will intuitively figure out the solution to their problem without having knowledge in the specific math required.
As for the courses...trigonometry, linear algebra, sets, blah blah blah..the list goes on and on!

Since when is NASA about entertaining the public? They should only do this in case there is stuff to be gained other than the public's attention!
