Ditto for me. Each thread shows that it only has one post (regardless of the actual number) and therefor does not let me expand it. It's doing that in in both Chrome and IE8.

Who is Alex Jones?

Some guy who made himself semi-famous with a youtube video alleging that the 9/11 attacks weren't a real conspiracy by terrorists, but a fake conspiracy conspiracy put forth by the government to attack itself with missiles that it magically poofed in place of the planes, or something like that. It's no wonder CSS worships him.

What little I know of climatology suggests that it's not in the slightest bit simple. For you to suggest both that it is simpler than I know it to be and show greater confidence in your conclusions suggests to me that you lie further to the left on the Dunning-Kruger chart than I do.

We failed to care. The fact that the media distorts more often than it reports is not news to anyone. As for the actual report, while I could if I wished spend several years learning enough climatology to make a meaningful critique of such a paper, I have other things I'd rather be doing. Unlike you I recognize that spouting criticism from a position of ignorance is dumb.

Being that it's a male trait, the safe assumption is that it refused to ask for directions.

And now a Jefferson quote to tell us what he would think of people quoting him. The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead. Thomas Jefferson This is fun.

I prefer exploring reality, not drug induced delusions. You obviously prefer the latter, and more power to you, but don't try to tell me that it's "better". My world (aka the real world) is bigger than can possibly be conceived by some salvia soaked simpleton.

So to sum up this CSS rant. Religiously based laws are actually anti-religion laws made to make people mad and take away the right of religious people to make religiously based laws which are actually anti-religion laws made to make people mad and take away the right of religious people to make religiously based laws which are actually anti-religion laws made to make people mad and take away the right of religious people to make religiously based laws which are actually anti-religion laws made to make ... ...and you would understand this if you only took LSD. Wow, I don't even have to exaggerate his stance to ridicule it. :laugh:

Frogger lives in a discrete world, not a contiguous one, so the answer to the question depends on the minimal distance resolution and whether the jump algorithm rounds or truncates.

Unbelievable... I can't believe they actually took the time to leave a gap. Around here the critter just gets painted over.

On the actual topic... I don't think that will be the case unless and until the basic physical structure of computers changes dramatically. If you look at a brain, it contains all sorts of analogue connections of various strengths and all sorts of unpredictability. While you COULD make a computer that way, it would be lousy at the sorts of tasks we generally want computers to do.

Psychologists talk to you, psychiatrists give you drugs.

It's where some Yankee invaders stormed into Mexican Texas, bunkered down in a fortification barely worthy of the word, and proceeded to be wiped out by the Mexican Army. For some reason it's a point of pride for the invaders' ancestors.

Really? How? Go on, tell us how CO2 traps heat. What is it a mirror? An insulating blanket? Or is it a heat sink? How much heat can it hold? Whats its specific heat capacity?

Are you claiming that CO2 is not a greenhouse gas, or are you just being a pedantic jack***?

Ah yes, FEMA taking over the world using "emergency powers". I remember when I first heard about that. It was a good plot point for what was, and still is, one of the best video games ever made (Deus Ex). It doesn't hold up well to any sort of realistic appraisal though.

Didn't you already do this one?

I think you're being a bit too harsh. Minimum wage is $7.25 now.

So, let me get this strait. CSS, the paranoiac with delusions of adequacy, is 100% A-OK with ISPs doing deep inspection of all his internet packets so as to decide which content providers and services he is allowed to use? Here's a question for you, if Infowars refuses to pay their protection fee to your ISP, and your access to them gets shut off, will you still be OK with it? Not that it's likely that ISPs will go that far, but that is exactly the sort of thing the "net neutrality" regulations are being designed to prevent.

Their "plan" is to enforce net neutrality. Something which has been the backbone of the internet since its inception, and which certain ISPs have got it into their heads to do away with to protect their main business (cable).

You know, even when I was a teenager I never understood the whole "that's a kid's game/movie/whatever" thing. I just seems so immature to worry about "looking" mature instead of just enjoying life.
