[quote]Why in god's name does this even matter?[/quote] [quote]We'll find out sooner or later[/quote] [quote]I mean that's why we invented the concept of god.[/quote] I find this really funny. That you should start out invoking God's name (as if you believe in God), only to later say the invoked deity is an invented concept. How hypocritical! [quote]Anything that's currently unknown can be attributed to god and gradually over time we push back th
[quote]Another fact is that the earth is a bit over 4 billion years old and that fact along with the fact that all species including humans have evolved over time totally disproves the strict creationist view that all species were created "as is" only a few thousand years ago. Period. End of story.[/quote] Just curious, but, could you show me the direct evolutionary lines for our own species? It would have to include all the variations and where they branched off from each oth
Original ideas have seemed to have run dry, these days. Everything seems to be either based on past ideas, or simple remakes of the originals. Maybe that could be accredited to the current educational systems that tend to teach what to think, as opposed to teaching how to think?
Scorpion, you really should learn something about spelling and grammar. My 13 year old daughter does better. Your arguments are weak enough, tending towards stupid (as you have indicated), much less your other ineptitudes. You speak of laziness, yet you are too lazy to even spell or punctuate correctly. This game (other than in a simple one-on-one LAN situation) would not work in a full internet MP mode. Even a little thought, on your part, woul
[quote who="Varsi1" reply="29" id="2481034"]Moosetek13: Have you looked into the French system of reusing radioactive waste. most of the country is powered by nuclear power plants, which is weird for the froggies to be so non-liberal on the issue iirc they reuse the waste 3 or 4 times, buy which time the isotopes are either very short or long lived and can be stuck in the ground somewhere and forgot about. This is a very viable option to increase our nuclear power usage. <br /
[quote]For one thing, the stuff we are digging up to stick in reactors (Uranium) is radioactive. Is the stuff that comes out - the waste - any more radioactive?[/quote] Yes, it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste
[quote]Some games cannot run in a window.[/quote] Exactly. And some require a command line switch, or a setting in the Options. And usually, you will need to go the specific game docs to determine if you can do so - so asking here is probably not the best option. Most games have dedicated forums which can answer this question.
[quote]I think we should stop burning all this stuff we dig up out of the earth's crust. I was for nuclear decades ago, and still am. I think it would have solved a lot of our problems. Unfortunately, the idiot liberals opposed it, and thus shot themselves and everyone else in the foot.[/quote] So then, what is your answer to the radioactive waste that is produced by nuclear fission - how do we dispose of it? And please... something better than 'shoot it into outer space, o
Not to mention, your symptoms resemble something a virus would do. I agree with Thoumsin. Unless you can find and eliminate some malware, wipe everything and start over. It is often the simplest and fastest way to get everything working correctly again.
I find this really funny: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091216/sc_afp/unclimatewarmingseychelles "The highest point of the island is about 2.5 meters (eight feet), so it doesn't take long for an island like this one to be swallowed up," he says. He goes on to say... ""Where will the water be in 10, 15 years? Global warming has changed our point of view on a lot of things,"
[quote]We've been stuck in this wheel of logic for nearly a page now.[/quote] Yes, and it is entirely off topic. If you people want to discuss things other than SGU - START ANOTHER THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
[quote]Bet the farm on that? Think not.[/quote] But, the governments will do exactly that. And the result will probably be a global depression and chaos - all for the sake of trying to 'fight Mother Nature'. Personally, I think it would be better to spend that money helping people relocate to higher ground. Even if all the ice melted, the loss of coastline real-estate wou
[quote]And the 'hockey stick'. Well, here are my own trends taken from records I've been keeping since 1976 - look familiar?[/quote] Is there any particular reason you leave off at 2001? After all, that is 8 years ago...
[quote]What I want is that the green industry becomes more profitable, in order to drive the economy and make environmentalism both more wide-spread and profitable.[/quote] More efficient and affordable is what it needs to be, not merely more profitable. Heck, the profit margin is probably already fairly high.
[quote]I heard that Farming is all the rage now.[/quote] Not in California. Here, farmers in the central valley get around 10% of the water they need because a little 2" fish needs 'protecting'.
I never upgrade the OS until I have to, to prevent those kind of problems. I'm still with WinXP. Still, W7 seems more backward compatible than Vista. You might get the original Nikon SW to work with W7. Did you try any of the W7 beta's, by chance, to see if your SW worked with it?
The way I see it is, the scientists simply take the current trend and project forward. Heck, you and I are nearly the same age. If you were paying attention in our earlier years, you should have seen it by now. In the mid-70s they were saying that if the trend continued we would be going into another ice age. Now they are saying that, based on the current trend, we will be burning and flooding! The 'current trend' has seemed to have back-ended, because the temps are co
Wow, Mumblefratz, where did the second part of your last reply come from. That was a response from Daiwa. And this is not Daiwa's site, as far as I know, nor was it even a reply to one of your posts. I do have a question for you, however. I do not doubt that the earth has been in a warming period for a couple decades, at least until this decade at any rate. I do not doubt that we have contributed to it, at least in a
[quote who="lifekatana" reply="171" id="2467917"]Moostek you MORON. Read the fucking thread before you spout your nonesense. ur great Mumblefratz already answered this. Global cooling was NEVER and ACCEPTED scientific theory. [/quote] Yes, and you're a simpleton. ('and', should be 'an' - by the way) [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote]Well it is from 1996 so it is 13 years out of date.[/quote] Back in 1975 the scientists were saying we were going into another ice age, and the White House backed them. At that time, the global temp had been cooling for several decades. (or so the scientists said) You are a few years older than me, surely you must remember it. You say that a report from 1996 is 13 years out of date, yet the base data has not changed in that time. A
[quote]personally, i believe once you breach the speed of light, you go back in time relative to the speed and distance you travel, so that you arrive at about the same time you left. but thats just me. i of course have no proof, but it makes more sense than if you break the speed of light you instantly get thrown back to medieval times...[/quote] Time is supposed to slow down, relative to C and the traveler. So, time (external to the traveler) should stop if the traveler is moving at
