What really gets me is how RR can write, literally, hundreds of words and never really address anything. He repeats the argument, derides it, and then says that "smart" people agree with him. Basically his perspective seems to be "I'm going to believe scientists because they are scientists". I mean good lord, re-read p
Images "250 x 400" and smaller can be wallpapers if they are intended to be tiled. But that's probably not what you were referring to. I think this is a good idea. My main concern would be making sure it is clear to

The planet's climate is fluid and cyclic Again, I will defer to the opinions of actual scientists, rather than some guy who knows a single fact and think it makes him qualified to have a valid opinion on global climate. You all state this one little tidbit of knowledge as if it were fait accompli, as if a point has been made! You will have to have m
The Scientific Consensus is that human activity has had a direct causal influence on global climate factors. Bakerstreet writes with conviction: The misdirection involved in Inquisitional environmentalism is a matter of causation. Correlation does not equal causation. When they
Dr. Guy has a recent entry where he claims there is a debate, yes a debate, about global warming. You can deny global warming if you like, but denial does not make a debate. To debate you should do more than just point to extreme behavior from the opposing viewpoint--you s
Yeah, it's hard to pick one. I have a hard time picking favorites of anything. The album itself has become almost obsolete in the day and age of mp3s and iPods. Then again, ever since CDs came out, and one could skip songs with just a quick button push--as opposed to having to move the record needle or fast forward the cassette--full albums have been listened to less and less. That observaion aside, I grew up buying vinyl, and a few stand out. Queen's Greatest Hits w
Hey, right on, Charles.C. You make some fine points, in particular the underappreciated generosity and humanitarian efforts of the U.S., its servicemen and women, and its citizens. And maybe I did walk in on the middle of a conversation. But perhaps you can understand how it is difficult to respect statements like I hope a meteor hits this plane
Bahu, I'd like you to know that no matter how much someone disagrees with your opinion, I find the responses here completely abhorrent and uncalled for. I think it is obvious who here is hate-filled, and who here simply wanted to voice an opinion on current events.
A new development in the case, as reported by Eric Bangeman at arstechnica.com , ICANN says it may not have the power to suspend spamhaus.org's domain. In a statement, [ICANN] said it "cannot
A different search query There doesn't seem to be much mention of it after the initial rumor in early April, 2006. If it does exist, it probably has a new name.
Yes, you can script group collectively. Check the docs under Developer's Guide->Scripting->Enumerators. You will end up using a For Each loop, as in the example, most likely.
I had issues similar to what danilloOc describes concerning wireless networking. With Beta2 and RC1, but haven't had any trouble with RC2 so far. On boot up, I would get messages about not being connected. Sometimes I just had to wait a few minutes. Sometimes I had to reboot the router. I don't know enough about networking to say for sure, but I think it was something to do with assigning internal IP addresses. But I have to disagree that the support, and process in general
Spamhaus.org responds here to the Proposed Order to suspend spamhaus.org [domain].
The spam watchdog group spamhaus.org was recently sued by "Bulk Emailer" e360Insight in an Illinois court. Because spamhaus.org is based in the UK, spamhaus.org simply did not "accept U.S. jurisdiction. " As a result summary
I had this problem too. Let me see, I posted a solution.... Ok found it. Browse to your game executable. Right click on it and select Properties. Choose the Compatability tab. Check the "Disable Visual Themes" box, and click OK. Run your game! That worked for me, hope it does for you too!
Heh, heh. Thanks kingbee, cactoblasta, I appreciate the encouragement very much. If it is any consolation, drmiler, I don't think you are the same person as COL Gene. But people on "both" sides of the political spectrum would sometimes do well to focus more closely on the issue being discussed rather than concentrating so much on denying whatever a certain person says.
Yes, cactoblasta, I am probably too sensistive. Also a bit quick to react sometimes, although I usually feel my general viewpoint is well argued and defended, I know I very often could use a more diplomatic tone. I'm working on it! And your point of the firebombing of Tokyo, or the firebombing of Dresden with which I am more familiar through the works of Vonnegut, is an important one. It ties in a bit with darth silliness' point a
Another blogger here on JoeUser recently accused me of believing "the only good American is a dead American." Why? Why would he say such a thing? Well, I'm not really clear on that. I think he dislikes me so much that he has to reject out of hand anything I say. Because what I said was: Nuclear weapons and their use is evil--more evil th
But next time, do your own googling. I hate lazy readers. You know what? Screw you. I hate lazy thinkers. I may be new, but that just means you have fewer posts of mine to go through to see that I google the hell out of things and provide sources for my assertions. What google query would you have formed to find that piddling JoeUser blog
Which would "you" say is the lesser of the 2 evils? Invade.....or nuke? Again you pick out a parenthetical comment to quibble with, while missing the larger point. But, since you asked, I can say unequivocally that invasion is a lesser evil than detonating a nuclear bomb. This isn't 1945. I don't intend to defend this statement any fur
Boy, those people sure sound like idiots. Could you provide some links to articles or sources about these people "condemning Bush for not invading, or at least Nuking North Korea."? (It is interesting how you consider nuking a country somehow the "least" of those two options) It would also be helpful if you could corroborate your claim that whoever these nutcases are also "condemned Bush for Iraq". Or are you just tilting at windmills?
Well, I'm not going to do more research for you--not on this matter anyway. If you don't know what side of the fence The National Review and John Podhoretz come down on, then you apparently don't want to know . What gets me is the fact that you're the only person still interested in this. I applaud your conviction, if I tend to find you a bit obtuse and uninformed. But all the other jackals picking at this story seem to have moved on to the next bit of road kill. Whe
Are you like me? The more I use Vista, the more impressed I am. I am also impressed with the way Microsoft has ironed out bugs and annoyances with each new build. I was pretty psyched already, but now I feel even more enthusiastic about this really very cool new operating system. To me, it is often all in the details. It is the little things that matter. "Windows Vista Technical Evangelist" Tim Sneath has, on his blog,
Well, we are typing at the same time, but maybe we can still communicate. I am beginning to understand that links alone are not enough, that quotes must be made. On September 25, Spencer Ackerman at The New Republic reported: According to spy at a GOP hill-staffer bash on Friday, there's a new n
