I do not fear global warming. It will correct itself as it has in the past.
Of course global warming will correct itself as it has in the past. It will effectively wipe out the cause of the disturbance, and the Earth will settle back into its normal cycle.
The only real problem I can see, is that intelligent life seems to be the disturbance.
Yes, but unlike the US and Australia, nations like Saudi Arabia and Iran are part of the Kyoto Protocol. Nuclear is an efficient way of lowering their greenhouse emissions. It is not safest and the best way in my view. But as much as we are paranoid about terrorists in the West (who have so far killed 0.001% of the American population), and not that scared of climate change, we should not extend our paranoia to stopping these measures by other countries who have agreed to be part of the Kyoto Protocol and the international community.
On the subject of bombs. If they really want to kill you, you can't stop them. Ban nuclear they will find another way. In the case of them actually building and delivering a nuclear bomb they would probably only get as far as hitting one US city or more likely with their missile technology get it shot down or found out before they even attempted to launch it.
I don't think he cares what your analysis of his personality is. Arrogance isn't really what people argue about when more important things are on the table. If how it looks is more important than what is actually happening and the reality of the world (ie. you're trying to dig yourself out of this for the sake of pride even though you have made no sense so far and I doubt you are going to), then go sit infront of the mirror rather than putting more pointless posts on slashdot to get attention.
Personally I'd be far more worried about the personalities of the ones who sit there and wait for these things to hit them before they believe they are real, than the ones who have the sense to risk looking like fools and arguing for it. Someone really needs to remind some people that doing nothing and standing for nothing does not make you some brilliently flawless and nice person. Actually I don't think it makes you much at all.
It isn't uncommon for people to have lower of higher body temperatures. I've got a naturally low body temperature. It has never caused any problems. It's about 35.8(96.4) at the cool end of the day, around 36.5(97.7) at the hot end. Normally about 37.1(98.8) when i've got a virus. I've had temperatures above 39(102.2) before and my body survived it okay also, so it doesn't make me any less durable to fevers.
I was thinking a good way of testing in humans would be to correlate statistics on body temperature with ones on average lifespan to see if it suggests the same.
Don't some basic nuclear forces come into play here?
The fact a black hole can suck in matter and make it part of the singularity is to do with the gravitational force involved being able to overpower the nuclear forces and colapse the nucleus. The little black holes created on earth might run into matter but if anything I'd guess they would just stick to it or give it some energy. Maybe they'll make new materials like C-H-blackhole.;)
Well, I look at it this way: some retrovirus one of our ancestors picked up a million years ago, but didn't kill him, could still be causing things like diabetes, arthritis, MS, various cancers, or any number of things, all without secondary infections.
The old human endogenous retrovirus in the apple trick! That Eve...
I would suggest if the black hole was on the Earth's surface and was massive enough to sustain itself and to consume parts of the Earth. Then the Earth would most likely be falling into it.
I would've started the complaining about bad science when people suggested we could create a black hole capable of eating up the earth. Or that any black hole we can create on earth would be capable of it.
I'd actually say the guys are just underdeveloped mentally, emotionally and socially. When looking like some guy off MTV and saying the right things gets you further than being yourself, you're bound to end up with a society full of fragile idiots.
And I'd say the women who go for them are probably a bit messed up too. I know if I was female I'd be looking for some slashdot nerds:).
According to an incredibly reliable site that I found, "The Hebrew alphabet is alphanumeric: each Hebrew letter also has a numerical value and can be used as a number."
So it would be sensible to say that the Hebrew version of the bible doesn't really say anything. It's just one rediculously huge number.:)
At least it keeps us amused. I heard an Englishman say he was worried that they had an Australian pilot flying the aeroplane when I was in Britain. (Who has the only long serving airline with a perfect record again?)
I'd like to note also for people that a large number of articles that you would remember on slashdot science are from Australian Nation University. And that Times rated them 16th best university in the world this year. So the people who post the crap probably should learn to type the letters ANU, like they do with MIT and others.
Yeh, if you met the average psychology student, you wouldn't even consider paying to visit one.
On the other hand psychiatrists are specialised doctors. And though med students are crazy, I trust them when they become doctors, and more so when they become specialists. Plus they know everything the psychologist knows plus more and have studied an absolute shitload of medicine before specialising.
Only risk of visiting one is they might know what really is wrong.
I think this more comes down to the nature in which they have to work.
If you had hundreds of patients, who you see for small amounts of time each time, of course you can only do the standard stuff.
I've found most people end up searching for things themselves in the end if the doctors can't diagnose because though doctors say they can and some really want to help, if they don't know the answer already there is literally no time for them to do anything like as much research as you can do yourself.
One thing I'd note is that thinking you need someone to help you is acknowledging depression, thinking in the end it will be someone else but yourself is perpetuating it.
I disagree with people modding 'offtopic' just because they don't get or see the connection in a joke. It doesn't matter if the joke is bad, or you're too stupid to see the connection, the post was obviously referring to the device in question. I can name far more offtopic posts, but they are generally far funnier so I'd never mod them.
But if you thought you'd mod it for being a waste of a first post, I agree. I'd prefer to read "yay, I got first post." than the last post. It was a waste of 10kB on the slashdot server.

Probability of the event happening in what time and space? The statement makes no sense. And the number you chose is rediculous.
I know you were making a point but it isn't quite made. You have to define what period of time the probability refers to, otherwise the fact there is 15 billion years is irrelevent. Unless it is 1 in 10exp1000 of it happening in the universe up till now, but then the 15 billion years is irrelevent anyway.
It seems there is only one nation today that wants to control the world and in recent history that hasn't been a healthy mission. But you might be safe, most of the others were smarter:).

It's global warming related, it's new frontiers, it's firing ridiculous amounts of junk into space with futuristic technology to block the sun.
Did anyone consider that NASA might just need some funding?

Yes.
They are only Region 5 bees if they marry a region 5 bee or wait 3 years for citizenship.

A psycho, the rapist who did not participate in the study, says that the results aren't all that surprising.

We have achieved a record once thought unattainable of by our forefathers. This is a grand day for all men. Contratulations to all involved.
I'd like to thank....

Would these be obstacles like finding out that hydropower means power created with water rather than power created with hydrogen?
