    Global warming is a fact!

    You misunderstand the nature of science. Science does not depend on proof. Mathematics depends on proof. Science depends on evidence. And the evidence for AGW is overwhelming. It ranges from the basic physics of GHGs, the measured radiative imbalance of the earth (more energy in than out), the...

    Global warming is a fact!

    Still making stuff up are you? Your conspiracy theories are utterly ridiculous. Those scientists come from research institutions and universities from all around the world. Furthermore the evidence is regarded as both sound and overwhelming by every national science academy, scientific society...

    97% of climate scientists publishing research assert the reality of AGW: http://www.skepticalscience.com/How-many-climate-scientists-are-climate-skeptics.html

    haha A flood killed the dinasours?

    Good news. Australia's new prime minister is an atheist: "Prime Minister Julia Gillard says she has no intention of pretending to believe in God to attract religiously-inclined voters." http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/29/2939879.htm

    Longest tennis match in history at Wimbledon

    Mahut came through qualifying, winning one match 24-22 in the fifth. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tomfordyce/2010/06/maraat.html The sad thing is that who ever wins this one is guaranteed to lose in the second round due to exhaustion.

    bring back fox hunting

    That's just not true. I lived in London for a number of years before fox hunting was banned and there were lots of foxes. They often get into the garbage. Even saw one in my kitchen once.

    2010 World Cup - in South Africa

    From another message board: The England team went to visit an orphanage in South Africa this morning. "It's good to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope, constantly struggling, and facing the impossible" said Jamal Umboto, aged 6.

    Peak oil thread

    Any resource is finite. You have to crunch the numbers if you want to find out how likely it is that it will be exhausted. With Gen IV nuclear there is no chance of exhausting uranium for hundreds of years and probably a lot more. And the significance is not limited to "burning" waste. Natural...

    Peak oil thread

    Except that it doesn't really apply to uranium over time frames that matter. Ultimately the future of energy production must be new generation nuclear power - so called Generation IV reactors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_IV_reactor Current reactors only extract a couple of...

    4 Monitors or more

    You are much better off with two identical cards in PCI-E slots. There are plenty of suitable motherboards available cheaply. You might have driver issues with one PCI and one PCI-E card (depending on which cards). Take the path of least potential trouble. PCI-E is much much faster than PCI.

    Why AGW deniers are the biggest idiots in history

    Science does not in general depend on proof - it depends on evidence. Any piece of science could potentially be called into question sometime in the future in the light of new evidence. Mathematics depends on formal proof. It is not the same thing as science.

    Why AGW deniers are the biggest idiots in history

    Evidently the accumulated scientific research is considered quite sufficient by the major bodies of world science to declare that abnormal warming is occurring and humans are the main driver. Many of these are quite conservative bodies of very senior scientists who are not in the habit of...

    Why AGW deniers are the biggest idiots in history

    No data has been fudged - period. Repeatedly telling lies does not make them anything other than lies. Climate science relies on more than 130 years of the instrumental temperature record. Paleoclimate studies are very important and much has been learned about the sensitivity of climate to...

    WireShark is a sophisticated packet sniffer. You can filter for all sorts of things such as IP addresses, protocols etc. It is very capable. I doubt that you will find anything better for free.

    Rachel Corrie sails full speed ahead toward Gaza

    Don't be stupid. That's the sort of thing that could bring military action from Turkey. The loonies running Israel may be ham fisted but not that stupid.
