I hate to correct you, well actually I love correcting everyone, but the statement
"Maybe so, but the fact is that the last time on record there was a dramatic climate shift was when the dinosaurs went extinct. "
just happens to forget about the ie ages that if I remember correctly occur about every 200,000 years, and the last one was about 50,000 years ago? (any geologists out there to help on the dates?) Dinos were killed off millions of years ago, wooly mammoths were killed off tousands of years ago.
We are helping global warming, but we are not causing it. The earth cools and warms on cycles and we I believe are on a warming cycle. Stick around another 20,000 years and the earth will begin to cool off.
For the moron who stated the computer model used data that dates back millenia, go back to school. Humans have only been studying the earths weather nd temperature for 200 years. Only the last 50 have been with any accuracy. Any attempts to predict what the weather was 1,000 years ago are just guesses.
Sadly most of you are wrong. It is not about switching OS's, but switching users. TEACH YOUR USERS!!!! Teach them that they are not going to get that free IPod by clicking on the bunny! We the Geeks shuld be teaching the end users how to protect their machines! I am responsible for 50+ machines in a local offic for a company, and I get maybe 3 calls about viruses and mal-ware a year. My users have been taught how to be safe on the web.
I took me close to a year, but I now get paid to do nothing. My users know what not to do, and what things to avoid to keep their machines running smoothly on M$XP and Win2k.
