Like I said in a previous post, infra-red imaging of the inner planets in our solar system shows them heating up at a rate similar to Earth. But, say that out loud and people like you friggin flip out.
Probably because it's not actually true.
And you never did say where you got that interesting bit of information, anyway...
Poke it into a VM. I've got old hardware that doesn't have drivers supported on the host machine, but work fine through the VM. Should you not want to be tied to a particular machine this is an option you may want to look into.
I'm not so sure this will work with Windows XP, at least not as "easily" as described in your link. Windows XP likes to BSoD on boot if you restore an image from one set of hardware onto another set of hardware; something to do with XP blindly loading the installed motherboard drivers I think.
They should allow downvotes.
6000 downvotes might not make you happy, but it's better than personal threats.
Meh. Then you get 6000 downvotes and personal threats.
We even have laws against hate speech in the USA.
No we don't. We hand out harsher penalties to people convicted of a crime that was determined to be motivated by bias against the victim's race, religion, sexual orientation, etc., but we don't charge people simply for saying hateful things about those groups.
OR let me ask it this way. Name one Islamic Nation where Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Atheists or anyone else is actually FREE to practice their religion (or lack thereof).
I can't off the top of my head, but you still occasionally get things like this: Pakistani Muslims Form Human Chain To Protect Christians During Mass
Here's the California Energy Commission STILL saying it. SInce 2010 has passed, as of 2012 they pushed the "underwater by" date to 2050:

Perhaps you could point out where they say anything similar to "San Francisco will be underwater by 2050". What I've found are comments that, essentially, extreme tide-related flooding events would become more frequent and last longer.
Here's an "underwater San Francisco" map that GW alarmists were circulating in 1997:

Asked about the effect on California, professor of climatology at the University of California at Berkeley Orman Granger said in 1997:
There's no date associated with the image. I skimmed the article, though, so I may have missed a non-explicit prediction.
Hint: it ain't the skin-color. If "whitey" really were racist, Asians would've suffered from it too. But they are doing rather well. So well, in fact, that schools and colleges alike deduct points from applicants, who identify themselves as "Asians".
For the life of me I can't figure why you'd use that to support your claim that Asians don't suffer from racism...
(I want to say that I wholeheartedly agree with the Insightful moderation. I say this because I want it to be clear that what follows is not an attempt to undermine that insight.)
It's very often those same three steps: (a) Deny it happened; (b) Admit something happened, but ask people to wait before passing judgment; (d) Delay; and finally (e) Admit the whole thing, but claim that the time for a response has already passed.
Man... Three steps: a, b, d, and e?
The Constitution allowed slavery, for instance, and no vote for women.
It did no such thing, it simply reserved such matters to the States, per the 10th Amendment.
So what you're saying is that the Constitution allowed slavery.
But I think it's kind of dumb to think that in a city with tens or hundreds of thousands of cars idling daily in traffic for the past 70 years, that 500 busses making a single trip is going to have a more negative impact than if leaders don't hear some kind of voice for change.
The criticism also assumes that those 500 buses wouldn't have been doing anything else at the time.
And other posters here are right: the last thing you need is a weapon that fails when you need it most. If you want a weapon that's safe at rest, get a gun safe with a fingerprint scanner so you can get at it quickly when needed.
I don't see how this safe removes "one more thing that could fail" from the equation. If this fingerprint-scanning gun safe is reliable enough for a gun owner to insert into the process of potentially shooting someone, why is it assumed this on-gun technology will be a huge liability no matter what?
Default Linux installs just work...
There's no such thing as "default Linux".
Obligatory xkcd: Meteor.
The shooter of the judge and congresswomen in Arizona was also blamed on conservatives (even though it turned out the guy was a liberal.)
One person seems to have described him as radically liberal, another as neutral, but he was registered Independent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Lee_Loughner#Views_on_politics
