Comment Re:TiVo was cool... (Score 1) 335

I have the Series 2, and I didnt need a cable box in my area. I could get all the regular cable channels until they changed over. Now my Tivo wont tune any channels. When the system changed over, Tivo cut off the guide. Also, for the digital channels, the box that Comcast provided to me wasnt compatible with the remote cable, so I couldnt record those anyway.

>All diesels in the 70s where gutless. Heck simple truth was all cars in the US in the 70s where pretty gutless

I hate to break it to ya, but most muscle cars come from that era, and with some over 400hp stock, you would have to be ____ (insert your fruity comment here) to miss this....!

Only the early 70s...the rest were anemic at best. The 1977 Trans Am 6.6L was only rated at 200hp.

The same goes for the concept that increasing percentages of the collective gases known as Greenhouse gases" will cause heat retention in the atmosphere. That last sentence is an absolute fact, as has been proven in many Junior High science fairs for many years. It isn't complicated. So first thing is to accept the fact, unless you want to be like the two groups I mentioned above

I believe that. But I also know that the largest "greenhouse gas" is water vapor. And CO2 by some counts only represents 10%-25%. So I just dont buy the theory that the gas that may be as little as 10% of our atmosphere is causing most of the problem. I honestly think that ego has more to do with this theory than anything else. Some people just cant accept that it could still be a natural occurrence. That we (humans) are not in control.

I completely agree we should move away from fossil fuels. I also agree that the climate is changing. But that humans are responsible for catastrophic climate change, not so much. I think that humans inhabiting the planet while it is happening is coincidence, and our egos go into overdrive thinking we are the cause, and fix, of everything.

Making money has NOTHING to do with the subject of climate change? Bullshit. It may not have started that way, but thats where it is now. Its what is the driving force. Why else would there be carbon credits? The liberal elite are doing EXACTLY what people bitched about the Neocons doing over the last couple decades. Becoming rich at the expense of the poor & middle class. But I guess since the left is driving this train, everything is "okey dokey".

By "credentials", I meant jobs & job titles, not necessarily their degrees. Sorry, poor word choice. But here is one who was slapped down in Oregon- http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_020607_news_taylor_title.59f5d04a.html And here is a prominent scientist that has been crapped on by his peers for not following the status quo- http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/magazine/29Dyson-t.html

At least we're winning the battle against something!

Of course climate change is happening. It always has. The question are WHAT is happening, and HOW the information is treated. If anyone, including noted scientists, say anything remotely the opposite of the climate change cabal, they are run out of town, belitted by their peers. They have their jobs & credentials taken away. That sounds more like the status quo is trying to hide something to me. When I was growing up, I was always taught to question the mainstream. But if you do that when it comes to climate change, you are labeled a nut. And now we all these new fangled ways to make money from climate change. And I guarantee you, the poor & middle class will be the ones paying. The rich just buy their way out with carbon credits.
