    Or it could actually work as the poster said. If the ice that falls melts in the lower depths then the general temprature changes at the lower depth. Now if that ice melts there then it will not go lower so you could start seeing water sabdwiched between sheets of ice. But that isn't what happens at all so... no frozen lakes.

  14. Re:Speaking of mature content... on Game Industry Derided For Mature Content · · Score: 1

    You might find it funny to know that both Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were theologians and pretty good buddies too.

    You might also find it funny that Max Planck the father of quantum mechanics held that quantum mechanics convinced there was at least an intelligent mind at work.

    Or that Darwin was a theologian as well.

    Look it up his father thought he would amount to nothing so he got him working in the church.

    The problem most people have is they think religion and science are at each others throats. Well no not quite but religion past 400 AD was made by rulers and so it really amounts to politics as to why religion is in such an inadequate state. Nevermind even most religions deny that God has any power to do anything nowadays like cause miracles. Try asking Him what's up one day see where it gets you.

    The process of developing knowledge in religion requires work (test it) with a dash of ever increasing faith.

    The process of developing knowledge in science requires work (test it) with a dash of ever increasing humility.

    Not so different after all are they?

    Anyone who tells you that faith means mastering a ridiculous blank stare in the face of problems is a much a charlatan as the one telling you that you have to master the same ridiculous blank stare into far out space regarding science.

    Do something peculiar but not obnoxious for a couple weeks and see what happens when you develop a routine.

    Because they know how ridiculous it is for them to be going after people because they know how to use computers. Clearly having to use a computer to automate a task would force them to actually make something in the same way the rest of us do (now if only firefox would allow me to go past the period after editing this text then I wouldn't have to keep going to the mouse). Ok now it lets me wtf.

    A metremeter is device for measuring things that are 1 metre long. It has only two numbers 0 and 10 marked at opposite ends.

    A metermetre is a metre within the precision (and accuracy) of the meter that was used to measure the metre.

    A metermeter is a device used to measure meters in units unknown.

    A metremetre is a square with area of 1 metre in length on each side. A metremetremetre would be used for cubes.

  25. Re:Here's the problem... on Federal Judge: Keystroke Logging Isn't Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    See you didn't get it. There are two parts to legitimate investigation. Stop throwing the word legitimate around like it's rhetorically valid in every conversation. The first part of the legitimacy comes from whether there is a need. The second part is whether the method is legal. Now when the FBI argued that a keylogger was not wiretapping they bypassed the whole second part of the legitimacy test which is what in some circles is called sollipsism. The FBI got to define the law which determines whther their actiities are legal. You can't win against such tactics without calling out the hypocrisy.

    And I would actually argue that a keylogger isn't federal wiretapping (it's some kind of wiretapping but not federal.) Even on a chat it only traps half the conversation, the local half. However, if the wiretapee is stupid enough to say the name of the person they're talking to, then let darwin take over, we don't need them increasing the success statistics of keyloggers. The sooner they're caught the fewer there are.
