yes, certainty of life is one thing, but fact is most of the time the natural state is single celled. I present you with hard proof of 3.5 billion years of single cell life on earth, no multicellular life at all, let alone anything with a brain. that's the norm, pretty boring ET
based on your sample size of one? you are funny, the universe may be teaming with life, microbal life. That's all Earth had for the first 3.5 billion years, that may well be the norm and whatever freak accident made multicellular life never happens elsewhere
besides which optical SETI is far, far more logical. Very easy to make a detectable light pulse that is easily distinguished from other cosmic sources.
Our efforts at optical SETI are way, way behind what they should be
no, there are other means we know of and actually do: neutrinos (we have experiments that make pulsed sources) or highly energetic particle beams (so near light speed differences neglibigle) that could be modulated
based on scanning we are doing of star systems out to thousands of light years? even if we find a sign of ET intelligent life, we have light-centuries to light-millennia of speed-of-light buffer time to protect ourselves after "they" discover our presence, before "contact" of any kind could be made
and apparently also know (without sharing) why the observed mass of the Higgs boson is so tiny even though the max energy times the fermion/boson sum should be huge. wow they have it all figured out...or they "cooked the books"
oh really, who dictates treatment for diseases causing any significant amount of money, physicians or insurance companies? who pushed the family physican who quickly took care of emergent issues into the large healtchare chains? who wages war for profit and to control resources, causing starvation, disease, death, maimings?
you're very confused, I've studied the 1920s (above average wetness) and the 1930s extensively in geophysics courses. The root causes were not man. A vocabulary word for you, exacerbate. that's what the poor soil management practices did, it did not cause the worst drought and worst NA heat wave seen, that was part of cyclical climate, as those who have studied real geophysics (not "climatology") know
I use Win 7 in a vm at work and home for anything needing Windows. All the IT guys at work, the windows lovers and the certified microsoft engineers, agree 8 is total crap and despise it.
you're confused. your word "stable" means nothing, that graph proves what I said, the rate of rise has been greater in the past 12,000 years than today. that's not a graph of sea level, that's a graph of sea level rise. look at your graph: 12,000 - 4000 years ago, much greater rise rate than now, by that graph
guess for you youngun's I should have said it that way instead of the Pavlov response I got to "Dustbowl". Point is drought and heat wave have happened before and were worse.
There was indeed a cyclical climatic phenomenon, 1936 N. American Heat Wave. The high temperatures and drought were not caused by human action. sad you instead ape the fact that poor soil management practices at the time made the dust worse but still ignore the reality of a recurring weather pattern
the drought and high temperatures the North American Heat Wave of 1936 of the time were not caused by human action, but sure the poor soil management techniques exacerbated the dustiness.

please tell me more about your mostly bare-chested school, was it perchance co-ed?

silly, you have to build the universe and then mom to get apple pie from the recipe
that 30% of electricity that California imports, where does it come from?
45% of that produced inside the state is from natural gas, better than coal at least.
insecure and vulnerable code can be done in Ada, you are silly
ha, I'm not talking of doctors or other mere "low digit millionaires", we're talking of people with income three orders of magnitude higher or so
surely disease isn't the fault of the rich.

my hardcore steamer family and friends say win 7 is the only way to go since some games have problems in 8
I use Win 7 in a vm at work and home for anything needing Windows. All the IT guys at work, the windows lovers and the certified microsoft engineers, agree 8 is total crap and despise it.
on the other hand, a lot of Linux users are libertarians and gun nuts. this might piss off the developers, but hey, we're the ones with the guns.
I hear the reiserfs is a killer filesystem
funny, most of the neck-bearded people I know were in the military.
poor soil management made more dust, yes.
but driest and warmest decade in N. American history, that nothing to do with man. worst heat wave in 1936, nothing to do with man.
look at the graph. look at the slope at 4,000 years ago, rise *rate* greater than today. end of argument, you lose.
