That's hard. For example, there is enough food in Africa, but there are famines anyway because the dictators don't distribute the aid that comes in, they keep it for themselves. How do you solve that problem? Do you kill the dictator? But then you'll just get a new dictator who is the same (or worse).

My question is how they were planning on carrying the canon. Is that really something that fits underneath a chair or in a baggage compartment?

The debt is a joke, because it's denominated in dollars. It's not going to destroy the economy, it'll just be annoying inflation like the 70s again. Of course, if you own government bonds that won't make you feel better.

LaTeX is absolutely better but the learning curve is a bit of a hike. Especially if you've never used a terminal.

Well, if you want to talk about evidence, the only way you could get more than 1 degree of warming (doubling CO2) is with feedbacks. CO2 by itself won't do that.

So you can hypothesize as many feedbacks as you want, up to and including 'clathrate gun', which isn't considered likely by most scientists, including the IPCC.

So really what I'm looking for here is convincing evidence (or even reasonable evidence, something more than a hypothesis, and something more than a crappy computer model) that one of the feedbacks will cause an exponential increase in temperature.

If we see that then I will easily change my mind, and in some cases even support drastic changes to prevent CAGW. Right now not even the IPCC is predicting CAGW, though.

Dude, even scientists accept that the models have problems now, it's time to move on.

Nah, the results have been demonstrated in more than one paper. If you follow that sort of thing, climate science has moved on from saying the models were correct and is now trying to explain why they were wrong.

Nah, if he was so confident in that prediction, why did he later change it?

Which ones are you talking about specifically?

lol ok

That's one way to describe it, and certainly some scientists are inventing some complex hypotheses for that purpose.

A more simple scenario is that the earth isn't heating as much as expected (which mainly means that the feedbacks aren't as significant as some scientists hoped).

What intermediate language optimization are you talking about specifically, that Microsoft's compiler does, which Java's doesn't?

Given that his congressional district would benefit a lot from money spent on space exploration, I'm guessing his goal is to get money to his district.

Close? Yeah, all we have to do is invent AI, right?

That's true, sometimes I forget and accidentally type 'foreach' instead of 'for.'

Seriously though, the differences between Java and C# are miniscule compared to the differences in other languages. I spent the evening reading A Method of Programming. No one will ever look at that and confuse it with either language.
