"I have friends in the intelligence industry that have confirmed that every major navy is in deep water." Surely not the same friends that told you that SH had WMDs, the same pals that told you that there was irrefutable evidence of links betwen Iraq and terror organisations. Chill Sarge, if something is afoot, there's next to nothing we can do about it now. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Its a lot of money for software, you can try before you buy.

"We've only got one ex president." And lets face it, we are not likely to see another quite like him, more's the pity.

Zen, its easy, the string is the stuff that holds the fabric of the universe together. Got It?

"So how about the rest of you pontificators and bloviators? Do you exclude the other side of your political fence from your social circle?" Hell no. How can I preach tolerance and understanding whilst at the same time practice discrimination based on what someone believes? At the end of the day, its only politics Deuce, falling out with people over politics is like falling out with them over their choice of beer.

"Place browned pieces and onions/drippings from pan to a cover casserole dish (I used a roasting pan)." How long for and at what temperature? I'm guessing about 1 1/2 hours at around 130 deg C (260-ish fahrenheit). Sounds good!.

"Proof they'll let anyone in..." Oxford girls? Or Oxford schools? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. Thomas Jefferson

I generally use 'America's finest news source'..... http://www.theonion.com/ Failing that the Beeb, I can't be done with commercials/popups all over the place.

But, but, but I thought Al Gore invented the net. (I'm only joking Snopers) For what its worth, Tim Berners-Lee also got a Knighthood at the tail end of last year for his contributions. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

To those that truly believe, no explanation is necessary, to those that can't believe, no explanation is possible. Its otherwise known as faith.

"It jolted my building pretty hard. . .I thought it was amusing the way the transplants in our office freaked out. . .pretty funny shit. . . " For some reason I misread that as implants freaking out. Which is even funnier shit if you try and visualise.

Can't comment on the content, but the appearance is a bit retina searing. John Gibson seems to have some sort of beef with the Gruaniad, whats that all about? I like the beeb's sites, they seem easier to navigate, find what I want etc, without the visual impact damage of the sponsors. Plus, its a pretty fair view of what's happening in the world. http://news.bbc.co.uk/ Thanks for the beer man, fancy a wee Tequila to keep it company? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

IMO, the chicken should not even be in Iraq.

"First of all this movie is laced with inaccuracies far beyond most Sci-Fi films." Well yeah, as discussed up the thread, its entertainment, so no argument there. Look at Hollywood's depiction of skydiving in films like Point Break, Dropzone, Cutaway etc, apply the same accuracy to climate change and we get films like this. "If you want to know the future call Ms. Cleo, she is more likely to know." Thanks but I'll stick to Joyce Penner, from the University of Michigan; Thomas Crowley, of Duke University; Richard Alley, from Pennsylvania State University; Jerry Meehl, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research; Lonnie Thompson, from Ohio State University; and Chris Field, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Daniel Schrag, of Harvard University, Michael Oppenheimer, from Princeton University, David Battisti, from the University of Washington in Seattle. Especially when they urge your government "not to get hung up on the uncertainties that still surrounded climate science - and not to use gaps in knowledge as an excuse for inaction." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3810291.stm "As meteorologist we know about as much for climate weather in the future as we know if will rain in Boston exactly 6 months from today." From the article linked to above, ""A combination of the models and the data, including the deep-past climate records, are really pretty convincing that if you increase the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels from today's values of 370 parts per million to a 1,000 ppm - which we are going to do within the next 150 years without a doubt - it is going to be a very different world," Just so I get a balanced view, do you have any links debunking the effect of CO2 on Global Warming? "We do have the capability to make it tough for humans to live, but life will go on in some form. Just maybe one you wouldn't like." If you put water in the fuel tanks of your jump plane, the plane may not necessarily be totalled but it sure does piss on everyone's parade. If we do nothing and the scientists are wrong, all well and good, if we do something and the scientists are wrong, no harm done, a bit of money spent but no big deal really, it might actually give some industries a much needed shot in the arm. If we do nothing and the scientists are right, we've just fucked up the planet. Call me naive if you like, but we have had the capability to change the planet's weather systems for years, nuclear winter for example. One final thought. ""We're in the middle of a large, uncontrolled experiment on the only planet we have," said Don Kennedy, the editor-in-chief of Science magazine." -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"I know the next job for me could be worst then the one i had, but i didn't want to sit in a job i hated and never take the chance to find something better for myself " For some reason, its always easier to get a job when you already have one.

"As it is, it's pretty terrifying that if Madonna were to decide to run, she could probably work up a decent percentage of the vote." Its a scary thought, have a google for Dolly Buster, a Czech porn star who ran for the recent European Parliament elections (erections?) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3756641.stm for example. Or even La Cicciolina aka Ilona Staller who actually got elected to the Italian parliament.http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_505510.html Stranger things have already happened. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"It's not acceptable to teach Darwin's theories in US schools," Is that the case? It seems silly to me. Is there an out? Could there be a universal acceptance that 'god' is non-specific in its interpretation, whereas 'God' might apply to broadly Christian based religions.

"It's funny how the atheists cry out "Help me God" when they hook one in and their life is in jeopardy." I suppose its never too late to repent.
