Yes building castles in foreign countries sends entirely the right message. It is certain to dispel the belief that the US is an occupation power.

The result of his actions were entirely predictable. They were mean spirited and intended to provoke this response as is his calling Islam a cancer. Yet the person is not held responsible in any way, shape or form for their actions even though they lead directly to deaths. . While I respect free speech you can't shout fire in a theatre for good reasons. Why isn't this person being held to the same level of responsibility?

Some one mod this up.

Before any one pats us on the back. The Conservative government of Canada is looking to move Canada to internet voting. What could go wrong?

I have been using a Linux desktop exclusively for almost as long as they have been around. Mostly KDE in my case. The things that need really changing aren't at the desk top level. Flash doesn't work of course but the solution isn't to get flash support. It is to get others to abandon a proprietary solution masquerading as an internet standard. The open source video drivers from AMD and NVidia suck rhinos but the solution isn't to capitulate to a closed source world of blobs.

Beyond that the Linux desktop just works and I am a LOT more productive using it.

Every body built out their production for the HDTV migration. Now that it is over demand is down. 3D was supposed to be the great saviour but not so much. Turns out people want to match movies on 4" screens and you can get a lot of those out of a 120" sheet. There was also that little tsunami thing as well.

But maybe some one could send a copy to ISO and let them know how it is done.

Yet every one wants you to send them documents a word95 format.

Which is what you would have with ODF especially after Microsoft said they would implemented it as part of one of their antitrust suits. But then they produced a broken implementation of ODF in office proving once again that the legal system really doesn't involve them.

Or that it will actually work when you try to open the saved file.

It is Microsoft's standard method of corporate operation. Does that help? Bottom line is OOXML was aborted at birth and you would need to be insane to adopt it.

I guess this means you can't find any problems with the actual data or science then if this is what you have resulted to.

Good post but I would also add that Australia suffers from the same problem of having the records manipulated upward for no apparent reason. Link

Because we don't have air temperature sensors at sea we rely on land sensors and then extrapolate to cover the 7/10 of the world that is ocean. Australia due to it's location has an effect far in excess of it's size. Combine that with the US measurements and the two of them point to some thing very wrong. You can't have two regions where the world doesn't heat as much as the rest of the world over long periods and blame the whole thing on CO2. The physics doesn't work that way.

I'm sorry I can't hear you right now over the exhaust from the jet engine that is blowing this way. But when I read your post I had to go to the weather station located on the tarmac by the run way and see for my self if it is truly warmer and the indeed it is. Almost 2C warmer than it was when this property was part of a swamp in a forest back in 1880. Global warming is now proven.

You somehow managed to mix a straw-man argument together with an ad hominem, and came up with... bullshit?

Might I suggest you use that as your tag line? Sorry I had mod points yesterday but not today. Great line though.
