So i read the rebuttal of Easterbrook´s work and still same question comes to mind....how do i know whom to believe? For example the part about ocean cycles - PDO...Easterbrook says they are important regarding climate change, this guy - Chris - says it is not true.... My whole point is there are both arguments pro and contra AGW....i really do not know what the truth is and i am not going to make decision about this myself...and because it is the pro-AGW side, who is crying for
And what about this graph? It tells something different, but i am sure it was already "debunked". Now only why should i believe those who debunked it and not this Easterbrook guy? They are all scientists after all...
[quote who="lifekatana" reply="459" id="2482000"]No you ****. Global Cooling was one paper in the 70ties, and it got a bit of media attention. However the scientific community wasen't saying this. This was a hypothese of one guy. One paper. Noone took him seriously like noone(with brains that is) takes AGW deniers serious.

[quote who="lifekatana" reply="455" id="2481885"]Timmaigh this has already been discussed. That study is bull.[/quote] Ok, but how do you know it is bull, if you are not climate scientist yourself? Just because the scientists, who advocate AGW, "debunked" it? And how do you know their arguments are right? What if their "debunking" of this study is wrong? What i am trying to say, there are still too many unanswered questions regarding climate, so it would be unwise to take acti

[quote who="CrusaderScott" reply="4" id="2470099"] Quoting HorseStrangler, reply 3It looks silly to be honest. That's pretty much my opinion too. When I heard Cameron saying he was coming back to save cinematic sci-fi, I was excited because sci-fi certainly needs to be saved when it comes to the movies. I had visions of original ideas or even movies based on some classic novels...instead I get the Thundercats saving Ferngully. My expectations are

[quote who="joasoze" reply="4" id="2456139"]Fringe: Its ok, but it has a simple way of solving all problems. This scientist knows a bit about EVERYTHING, and he can always solve any problem. Its a bit like Numbers and Star Trek, where they always can find some weird solution that will solve any problem. I would have liked problems that were more long term and more related to people and their motivations, rather than always introducing some weird science. My rating 6/10 [
So, another week is here and i decided to start new thread about shows i recently started to watch: "Fringe" is the show created by JJ Abrams/Orci/Kurtzman....the guys who made new Trek or Lost. So far i have seen about eight epizodes and it is lot like X-files. The main characters - FBI agent, former scientist and his son - are investigating series of weird events known as the Pattern. I think it is quite good, but i would prefer it to be less episodic. The other show,
Do not know why, but i actually liked this "Life" episode. I suspect the lesbian stuff might be the reason [e digicons]:D[/e] . Seriously it wasn´t that bad, i would say it was better than the previous one on the planet, even if it was less sci-fi. For a moment it seemed quite eventful - Young was going to beat Telford, Eli found out Rush´s lie about the planet and i was really thinking that the bald soldier was finally going nuts and kill anybody...

I expected it not to be "exactly" like the original, but how far they deviated from it is beyond all reason. The only part of the ship they got right was the saucer. The rest is a mash of the TMP refit, and some alien ship of the week. With faint n
Dreamcast...Starlancer....I´m sorry, are you from the past? [e digicons]:D[/e] Just joking, no offence please. Is it about Soviets vs USA in space? I did not play this one, but i remember reading quite positive reviews about it at the time when it was new. I played Freelancer though.
I am talking about the new sci-fi show, which started to run recently... similarly to BSG it wants to reimagined version of the original show from 80´s, at least i read something like that. So have you seen it? Have you seen the original? What do you think about it?
[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="178" id="2439243"]well, first i wanted to know whether SGU was as awful as SG1, but that's problematic because it seems none of the SG fans like it, so that could mean anything. secondly, a number of ludicrous comments were made about shows like B5 or BSG and i felt the need to correct such errors. im as free to post what i loathe about crappy scifi as you guys are to post what you love about it.[/quote] I think you should defin
[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="160" id="2437995"] well, thank fuck nobody paid attention to what the original fans wanted, because the original was shit and the new BSG has set the new standard in scifi television. the reason people watched it was because it was awesome, not because there was an emphasis on "soap opera style drama". these shows have a genre you know, they're called space operas, and they allow for far more depth in story telling than SG-1, the epitome of medio
I do not think you can simply mark one RTS as the best one ever.... Homeworld was for example perhaps the best single-player RTS, but its multiplayer was lacking, other games were just better multiplayer-wise, but not as immersive or innovative. CoH, DoW, Sins, C&C´s, Starcraft, Warcraft, AoE, Conquest FW, Earth 21x0, Sup Com. etc...are all great games as well. I can recommend to anyone one old not so famous game though. It is called Star Command Revolution,
