The real reason of course, which you wouldn't know from reading the pseudo-scientific raving of the parent poster, is that melting is an adaptive response to a changing environment.
You see, most water was burned at an earlier time. So, when it encounters heat it melts out of fear! It melts to more effectively evade what it expects might be a dangerous encounter. This also explains why water melts faster when it is shaken upside-down and verbally threatened.
Some people think that this proves that water is less-than-rational, however it's clear to me that it is an adaptive response. The kind of therapy that would get it out of that kind of feedback loop is much to expensive for most water to afford, anyway. Most people don't realize that there are whole water galaxies, where water can more easily acheive economic unanimity.
This simple theory explains so much evidence. Why do we see so little water inside of volcanoes? Inside of airplane engines? Or inside of stoves? It's because water fears heat! Based on an earlier, traumatic reaction that must have occurred sometime in its past.
I'll be here waiting for my Nobel Prize. Is the king of Sweden's daughter hot? Prolly.
It looks to me that we're developing a hodge-podge of copyright/patent laws that has no policy thought and is simply a collection of knee-jerk reactions to what's news this week.
You must be new here. Let me be the first to say: Welcome to America!
This administration really specializes in finding extreme-right appointees that are members of minority groups.
Look, this memo was written by hispanic Albert Gonzales! The choice bits: "the war against terrorism is a new kind of war" and "this new paradigm renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions."
That certainly would look good under Supreme Court letterhead, wouldn't it!
No, the problem is not that one party controls everything... the problem is that the one party that controls everything is arrogant, blind nationalist and suspicious of science.
It's not totally a dupe, it was in fact "launched" at the O'Reilly Where 2.0 conference today.
Receiving no attention is the news that Yahoo also released their maps API today as well. You can read a ranty blogpost from a Yahoo developer about the differences.

First, remember that Microsoft makes something like four times more from sales of Office than from Windows (it's true -- look it up).
Second, you need to know the value of the "a lot of" people that would switch if Office were not available in order to conclude one way or another.
Based on Office's higher profitability, if only 1/4 of the market decides to stay with the Mac even if MS stops selling Office for it, then MS would be losing money.
Hey, fun. There are two categories here. "No risk" and "Risk". There is "risk" in air flight; there is "risk" in space shuttle flight; therefore, if we allow passenger air flight we should allow the space shuttle to fly.
Great logic. There will "always be a risk" and the only alternative is to "make certain that flying has no risk."
Surely a more efficient googler can come up with a better number, but the annual number of flights flying in or out of the Baltimore/Washington International airport alone is 266,450 (based on an average of 730 per day times 365, clicky). Now, we know that there have been 113 shuttle flights. Of which, 2 have crashed. That's a failure rate of about 1.8%. You can guess which calculation I'm going to do next. If air flight was as safe, we would see 4716 air crashes annually just for flights coming in and out of BWI airport.
Trust me, if that were the failure rate then we would indeed shut down all commercial air flight until we could be sure it was more safe.
Stop being ridiculous, and save the bad logic for political reasoning where it belongs.
The claim is that there's some correlation, not that all people who go through this process no longer have any empathy, ever. It could be that 15% of people are 40% less empathetic, or something like that.
While the experience of one person is not totally without merit, it's very close to that when working with a correlational claim.

It's going to go smoothly because one party can push through anything it wants.

Good point, but you can always use the gravitational pull between it and the star that it is orbiting.
