Please people. Stop suing for stupid little crap like this. The legal reason for suing is to protect consumers from being taken advantage of by others. People are suing far too often these days, and it's really inhibiting the efficiency of the courts, increasing insurance rates for all practices, and needlessly restraining the economy. If you really, REALLY want to make a difference, use your vote and your voice to rally others to not vote for that person. To sue them is to give them press, and as they say, there is no such thing as bad press.
If you want to make a difference, don't waste your time and money suing. Learn to use your voice and vote to change the world.
As far as large aquatic animals go, Yes, photosynthetic plankton are the absolute singular bottom of the food chain. Photosynthesis creates sugars for the plankton to thrive upon, and then fish fry feed upon them, etc, etc....
If you want to get very basic, then perhaps the chloroplasts in the plankton's cells could develop differently, perhaps someday evolve into a seperate species that isn't effected by the ocean's (rising) temperature, salinity, and H+ concentration. A large problem in believing that theory is that evolution may not be able to keep up with the rapid change that the ocean will face if the fossil fuel market doesn't change.
Without plankton, which create a large percentage of the Earth's oxygen, we would see faster increases in CO2 production, with less conversion to O2 and sugars, the latter of which is the sustaining food for life in the ocean and out.

I wonder if it has ever been considered to make the ultimate strategy/simulation game, utilizing the brilliance of both Sid Meier, of almost every series, to Yoot Saito, designer of almost every (good) sim, including most of the early but goodie sims, i.e. SimTower, and I believe the early SimCities. Perhaps together they could make one game that could dominate the simulation genere, kind of like how Halflife I/II have dominated the FPS Genere. (little punch to those quake/doom/UT/Farcry/etc. players)
My $.02
So in reality, it will cost $500 trillion to build the space ring, and the shuttle solution will cost $900 trillion. Figures. I'll be that it will be projected to be completed by 2020, but in reality will not be completed untill late 2050.
Anyone else notice how now that Firefox has gotten pretty big, you're mostly hearing about firefox issues, rather thant he slew of IE issues that we used to be swarming over. In essence it makes sense as most/.ers have upgraded to Firefox, however it just seems to be working that way. I don't think that M$ could have gotten all of the kinks out of IE, so whats the deal?
Hmmm. Longhorn being delayed for a months again? For us gamers, it sounds a lot like the delays for HL2, and dare I bring TFC2 into question? First this, then that, 6 months here, a little 1 month there, and boom! You're 2 years off date. Grrr. Why don't people just give late estimations and make people happier by releasing their products ahead of scheduled time, or god forbid they use that extra time to work out the bugs in the software more instead of releasing slews of updates to their software at the time of release?
I had previously used Mandrake around Mandrake 7.1 or so, but now that I've found SuSe 9.1, i'm very happy with it, as it serves all dual functions with windows and linux, as it has built in OpenOffice and support for most hardware accessories, except that it locks up when I use my RoamAbout 802.11b network card, but I remember that it didn't work with mandrake either. I think it's just a driver conflict that locks up the computer upon PCI scan. Oh well. Laptops not designed for Linux can be difficult to get working in Linux, but persistance is often the best remedy! Good luck with Mandrake, and thanks for the suggestion.
That's true, but from coming from the perspective of the kid aged 17, it's difficult. Reguardless if kids are surfing for pr0n or not, it's almost impossible to hide from these problems. I say this in outrage that I formatted last night, reinstalled XP Pro, then installed all Microsoft updates, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Office 2003, and Norton System Works 2004, and the first thing that happens the next day is that a virus is found on my computer. All I did that day was surf the internet, with Firefox on secure settings and third party downloads disabled. I got a virus! Explain that. I wish I could. I'm trying now to learn Linux (SuSe 9.1) so I don't have to deal wit h this, and hopefully if I can learn it, I can slowly convert my friends to this system. The downside is that whenever anything is popularized, they become a phenomenon, and people like to rain on the uninformed, relativly unintellegable's parade.
Eventually what will end up happening from all of the virii and worms being released, as well as the explosion of spam and unsolicited messages will be that people are just going to get fed up and stop using computers as well as the internet as much as previously. The standard home users will abandon the internet, and the.com boom will shrivel more and more until computers will be reserved for direct communication and business purposes. People can only stand so much of the garbage associated with running computers.

Hey man, at least he's not Dan Quayle! Dan Quayle quotes are the best! http://homepages.cs.ncl.ac.uk/chris.holt/home.info rmal/bar/corsair.afdq/quayle.quotes/

muchos gracias
Can anyone tell me who/what is on the icon for SciFi news? Where is it from? Thanks in advance.
That City 17 was just a nightmare in a foreign world. Who would have thouught it would be so real so soon?
