Yes, there will be a climate change... but to what extent did we humans contribute to that? over the last few hundred thousand years, there have been numerous climate changes.
The only thing that makes this one special is that we are in it.

Mr. Matt, I am under the impression that either you never saw a percolator work or that you misunderstood the principle behind the thing. Liquid isn't moving to the top compartiment because of the _temperature_ of the water, but simply because the boiling water produces water vapor at sufficient pressures to push the remaining water from the bottom compartment to the top compartment. Thus the analogy holds.
Oh, and as for your force=mass*accelleration thing, here's a brain-teaser: how do you determine the mass of a constant stream of water?
I think this would suffer from the same problem other biodiesel projects suffer from, which is that they require such vast amounts of land to produce, that the entire process becomes inefficient, expensive and not that environmentally friendly anymore.
(That has to be the longest sentence I've written on/.. I hope it is still intelligible.)
Feh. It's probably a fake transparency, like quite some X11 terminals support. They take the desktop background image, as opposed to actually having transparent windows such as the OS X terminal does.
Tricky. Aramid polymers (such as Kevlar or Twaron) are a few times stronger per weight unit than steel. Thus a suit made of steel would be a few times heavier than its polymer counterpart. Thus I'd think there's little interest in such beasts.
One interesting snippet though is that bulletproof vests are not knife resistant and knife-resistant vests are not bulletproof. This has to do with the type of weave.
Not only that, but as I've found out they can only sell you 6-month subscriptions max! This is a huge difference with the Netherlands, where they can happily tie you down and haemorrage your money for the next 3 years...
In addition to hiring a lawyer for legal advice, Steve Jobs now can spend more time on what he should be doing, i.e. leading a company and preparing for the macworld keynote speech.
Let the lawyer figure out the law stuff, and let the CEO figure out the business strategies. Taking all matters into your own hand is a grand waste of time.
Actually, you son't even hear me complaining, and I'm an audiophile. The tracks (Lou rhodes, Sara K.) sound clear to me. (ref: Sennheiser HD600 with AHA headphone amp to a Denon DA convertor).
Never mind that iwo jima was a set-up photograph shoot... Artistically, it's nice. However, the pulling down of the Hussein statue during the America-Iraq war, could only be described as tacky.
I've never really considered Steve Jobs to be fazed by anything really.
He knows he has a decent group of followers, ever growing in these times, and he must bless his decision to stick with providing a complete solution instead of just an OS, every day.
All in all, I don't think he should be scared of this, because it is not only about the looks of the interface. It also depends on whether operations will continue to produce the desired result fast and reliable. Mac OS has the advantage there.
yes, a few hundred miles in the american southwest would do it (anyone objecting to using Texas?), but only if the entire world lived in the american southwest. As it is, energy losses due to transportation are quite significant and hinder an all-out world power source plan.
Well, you were talking about applying your choice of punishment.
So if you want to leave the tracking down to the police, leave it also up to the justice system to punish the criminal. Perhaps you should even leave it up to an international tribunal to judge and punish him, I believe they are far more capable of doing so than you... No offence, but they are familiar with the judging of atrocities.
The second part of your post appears to be completely unrelated to the question at hand. What your opinions are about how Osama should be treated are of little importance here. Furthermore, If you so dearly refer to your enimies, the Arian Brotherhood, to do your bidding, I suggest you go outside and take a breather.
Issues you have with other people should not become the job of a third party. If you want to kill Osama, go get him yourself or stop whining about your irrelevant wishes.
It was the same kind of comments that heralded the capabilities of central servers. I've read science fiction stories where there's one gigantic mainframe, to which every citizen connects. Alas, no such thing.
Similarly, it's never going to be pc's only. There's always a need for much computing power and secure storage arrays you just can't do in an ordinary box.
You know, with all the tests performed by the americans, french, english and russians, why don't we just evaluate their type of bomb and other parameters, and Tell them what the outcome will be. You know, like: "We've got 20 kg's of enriched plutonium, we wish to set it off in rocky ground, what does the result look like?" and the Nuclear powers go: "KaBOOM!"

I would recommend against anything large in Office. The file sizes get ridiculous, and the programs grind to a halt.
Tex for large documents and Matlab for large datasets. Infinitely better suited.
Now I only have to learn some decent programming language (like FORTRAN (sic) or C) for the stuff that even Matlab is too slow for.

Whilst driving past the billboard may not display the desired message...
On the other hand, driving into the billboard will result in a particularly fancy "Please, Jim, Not again!"

Oh yes, for your own security, we will not allow you to go outside to play anymore.
Mr. smartypants of the main post also makes one of the loosest links ever, as he tries to compare travel permission with a passport. Sheesh.
