If the Chinese would have had the technology, they would have quickly made available all kinds of form factors and capacities that the market demands. Look what has happened with the Lithium Polymer market. Guess we'll find out shortly now.
Is there anything it cannot cause ?
If someone recommends Apple's products to you, take it that that person doesn't hold you in high regard.
That person assumes that you
That person is not your true friend.
A cold summer is weather, a heat wave is climate, and both are manifestations of global warming proven by settled peer-reviewed science. Learn to tow the party line by pointing out their differences and similarities. It's not too hard once you leave your common sense at the door !
Care to explain to me what relizing means ? English is not my mother tongue and I'm eager to learn new words.
Moderators, I am the author of the above comment that has been moderated "Troll"; the moderation was apparently done on the basis of replying comments. I ask you to check what my comment said, before moderating it as troll.
Here is what the Slashdot summary said.
the paper says, that scientists can claim with near certainty that events like the Texas heat wave last year, the Russian heat wave of 2010 and the European heat wave of 2003 would not have happened without the planetary warming caused by the human release of greenhouse gases.
It ought to be clear from this that the Russian heat wave, in particular, is being blamed on putative global warming. Now, check the three links in my comment to confirm that they do indeed say exactly what my comment claims. The second link requires a password or subscription; here is an alternative link, from the American Geophysical Union (which publishes the journal):

You can confirm that the quote supplied in my comment is taken from that link.
The real trolls are the commenters who claimed that I was misquoting or misrepresenting. My comment is not a troll, and it should be moderated fairly.
I think that it says something about the current global warming debate that an accurate critical comment such as mine is moderated troll while blatantly false criticisms of my comment get moderated up to 5.
Duly noted.
Yeah. I feel deeply sorry for everyone who has been involved with the Curiosity project and is shamed to share the NASA tag with this James Hansen^H^Hwurst.
I, for one, know there's a bunch of lefty crybabies and busybodies who aren't getting it because a weakling has difficulty understanding something when his salary, should he have one, depends on sucking the public teat. Other than that, duh, you got to be a basement or cubicle-bound zealot that hasn't travelled the world and isn't old enough to not comprehend that you need some perspective to see through the bullshit.
There. I feel better now.
Looking at her diarrhea of whining posts, she really has her panties in a bunch about this.
Well, those own words are a lie.
Watts squirming ? You may want to check his new paper. It's Muller who's going to squirm - and how ! - as he stepped straight into a trap.
Beware posters bearing nice and easy summaries.
The IPCC reports are a barrage of pal-reviewed papers, some good and original, most mediocre at best, but always 'on message' and headed by summaries that are biased and deceiptful.
As to realclimate, the summaries one finds there are the political stance of a few zealots who divert public funding to further their cause under the obfuscating cover of the same barrage.
Nicely stated, but not correct unless you consider 1 to be prime, which is as much blasphemy as stating that Pluto is a planet.
Try "Every natural number above three is halfway between two primes."
Your sig is confusingly appropriate
Last time (June 8th 2004, IMRKIAG) I mounted a cheap catadioptric 20x-50x spotting scope on a tripod, pointed it at the sun and catched the projected image on a piece of paper held about 20" from the eyepiece. By adjusting the focus and zoom I obtained a nice 4" image of the sun's disk to watch sunspots, transiting venuses and airliners.
Very easy and safe; no filters required. Binoculars might also work if you convert it into a monocular by capping one half.
Experiment now, so you'll be prepared for the event !
"The proof of that is first world nations. They all have at most low population growth, and many have neutral or negative population growth."
That bullshit simply isn't true. Already overpopulated affluent western countries in the middle of Europe like this one still managed to add more than 10% to its population in the last 20 years and 40% over the last 50.
