    No, human intervention can help speed up the process to ozone increases, but the Montreal Protocol is not the only reason that the ozone layer is increasing.

  3. Duh..... on Ozone Layer Improving Faster Than Expected · · Score: 1, Insightful
    Did anyone ever wonder just HOW the ozone layer got there in the first place? Most likely, it was the product of atmospheric electrical activity. Converseley, it has probably gone under reductions in the past from volcanic emmission, LONG before you or I were on this planet. As it appears, the ozone layer has most likely undergone cycles of reduction and increase many many many times in the past.

    Sometimes, eco-freaks are just plain wrong. I guess they must be smoking some bad granola.....

    Jesus H. Christ! You mean to tell me that Danish "researchers" "discovered" something that we learned in Kindergarten? This has to be, at least one of, the most obvious things that has ever been reported. I can't imagine what kind of elementary science they will be wasting time (and money) on re-"discovering" next. Next, the'll probably be reporting that you can't hold your breath forever. This cleary falls into the category of "No shit, Sherlock!"

    I would absolutely LOVE to hear of someone hacking into and wreaking havoc on the systems that this sort of crap comes from. Anyone who manages to hack into the systems of these developers ought to be given immunity from prosecution. This is the only true type of justifiable malicious electronic vandalism that there is.

    I hope to God that they don't staff their Components Dept. with idiots of the same caliber as those that CompUSA sucked out of the drain at the Unemployment Office.

    I have lost ALL faith in such retailers, except for Fry's, after I had an unbelievable nightmare of a time with a Technician/Counter Monkey who should have been folding towels in the Mens Room, instead of manning the Parts counter.

  23. Re:The three forces driving spam on Next Generation Spam Zombies Will Use Data Mining · · Score: 1
    As I commented earlier on spam and adware companies: Flagrant copyright violations of the products that they are offering is the only way to root them out. The only way to get them to come out of the shadows is to try to get you to stop. Once they go to Law Enforcement about it, you can tell them exactly why you are infringing on their 'copyrights'. Like any of the slimy bastards are going to try to get you to stop breaking the law so they can continue to. Another idea would be to punish the individuals who own the target URLs that spam contains. And, the companies that solicit spammers and adware systems should also be punished. Harshly.

    I would love to tell a judge that I am violating the SpyFalcon (or whichever tradmark that I am infringing on) trademark because the origianl developer illegally uploaded its adware onto my system.

    Hey, if you think that listnening to this crap is bad enough, try living next to BERKELEY your whole life. If these fatcats and their platinum-lined pockets want to keep their good, old-fashoined view of the ocean, then lets give them good, old-fashioned power.....from coal. Then, we can listen to the eco-freaks and Birkenstock-wearing, treehugging, acorn-bangers complain about EVERY SINGLE form of energy generation. You know, maybe I could use a yuppie for something..... I could use all the hot air they expel to save quite a bit on my heating bills. Plus, when my snotty neighbors' kids start throwing those massive 2am parties that always feature someone who *THINKS* he can sing and play guitar and clog my tiny road with BMW's and Lexus', I can just unlpug said yuppie from the heater vent and point him towards their house and plug him back in. Voila! TAhen thay can suffer the baseless, intellectually devoid arguments of a standard Yuppie.
