I think we're all going to be amateur videographers/photographers/indie musicians looking to break into the pro market.

That's what I was thinking. Full albums all over the place. 3 hour compilations. I was looking for Tull's 'Thick As A Brick' the other day, and there was the whole thing and it was a crystal clear rip of the original vinyl. Perfect.

A Swedish VPN once bit my sister ...

    No realli! She was Karving her initials on the Swedish VPN
    with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given
    her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Stockholm dentist and
    star of many Swedish møvies: "The Høt Hands of a Stockholm
    Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst
    Nordfink".

Absolutely it is. Office on a low end PC is OK and the interface is usable. Office on a Mac takes forever just to start, takes forever to save, always seems to be converting something to something else and just generally gets in the way. It's just terrible stuff.

Climate scientists on the other hand have not consistently said it's only once you get to periods exceeding 30 years that weather variability gives way to climate.

"The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 yr or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate."

  "In order to separate human-caused global warming from the "noise" of purely natural climate fluctuations, temperature records must be at least 17 years long, according to climate scientists."

The IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report suggests that the Earth will warm rapidly in the 21st century. However, this is not being borne out by observations.

No-one disputes that the earth's atmosphere is warming - this has been going on for some time now. What is disputed is the contribution that human activity makes to the degree/acceleration/rapidity of warming. The original models had man's contribution to an increase in warming as minimal at best. Then the IPCC re-jigged the models to take into account the theory that CO2 (and other emissions) would cause a climate forcing, i.e. the effect of the increasing CO2 levels would not be linear but would drive GW at a much higher rate than what would be expected naturally. These models have all predicted rapidly increasing global temperatures with no pausing. In order to account for small variations in the annual results, the IPCC et al initially said you needed 10 years of no warming to invalidate the models. Then as 10 years got close, that became 15 years.* Then 17 years. That has now come to pass. Even the most conservative of models do not match the observed results, therefore it's time to revisit the modelling.

It's a very large PDF.

Airplane? That movie was a joke, too.

Can we just send the kids to jail? At least until they stop bugging each other and RESPECT THE INVISIBLE LINE DRAWN DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR.

You pour it into the coconut and drink it from the coconut with a straw. It makes you feel like you're on vacation. When you've finished a lovely bunch of them, you can construct a radio from them.

It is the feet of God you are smelling.

And that's OK.

And then I got a call from officer Obie-Wan. He said, "Kid, we found your name on a space probe at the bottom of a half a gigaton of
garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie-Wan, I cannot tell a lie, I put that space probe
under that garbage."

Eat yourself fitter.
