  1. Evolution will sort it out on Global Population Implosion? · · Score: 1

    According to the basic principles of evolution, this will not last. Those who raise as many children as the environment allows (which means about 30*12/9 children for know, but that "9" will surely become smaller as the species adapts) will multiply (of course) and the others will fall in numbers (of course). The result will always be that, in time, all resources are being used as quickly as they can be produced, and then we will go back to living on the threshold of starvation, as is natural to our species. Nature isn't nice, even if you are nice to it.

    I don't think those advices are so bad after all. Staying indoors is a good idea, as opposed to getting stuck on the highway. The radioactive dust will settle as any other dust. Wind is bad, and it's windy outside. Also, it's always easier to calm people down if you make them think they can do something about their situation, anything at all. If people are calm, it's safer for everyone, even if the calming procedures are themselves next to useless. Can you say "duck and cover"?

    s/6\.1/4\.61/, of course. I shouldn't post in the middle of the night.

    Fast? As opposed to every previous version of mozilla? I'm sure raptor is blazingly fast in some sense, but the fact is, even the horribly bloated and worthless communicator 6.1 is much faster on rendering than any mozilla version I have yet tried. Perhaps I have missed the --horribly-slow-off switch.
