Well they would have drilled on land or in shallow waters (plenty of places to do so), but the envirowackos wouldnt give them permits, (is that irony, I can never tell) Also a number of European clean up ships that had the capacity to suck up 200% of the spill where not allowed in US waters...

I'm a veggie and i've never heard that one before... Then your wife's one of those silly people that think being a vegetarian is just cutting out the meat, you have to replace it with something. I speak as a 28 year old male with no health problems, and a lifetime veggie diet. As to...

"How do we fix this? Make a society not based on profit being God. I'm a radical, meaning I like to attack the root of the problem." Good luck changing basic human nature.

There is pollution, and there is C02. We are taking steps to reduce our pollution (whilst ignoring that alot of the time all we actually achieve is to outsource our pollution). But we are not reducing our C02, but again just outsourcing it (whilst pissing alot of money down the drain)...

cough. I did not say humans where about 15 million years ago, you did. I said that we knew what the conditions where like during many phases of higher C02, and during most of those phases the conditions where suitable for human habitation. It's pretty simple, even the "worst case"...

We do have fossil records of periods showing times where Co2 was much higher than now, and that although the climate was different, it was perfectly viable for human life. we DO know for a fact that we could as a species handle significantly higher amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere, it's...

Few thoughts. Europe is not a country, there are many countries in Europe, and each have their own systems. There are also countries outside of Europe that also have state healthcare. It's clear from earlier on in the thread that some people have no idea about any of these systems, and how...

destroys skynet? I got the impression it was just one of skynet's facilities, I don't remember anything that suggested they had killed skynet itself, in fact the film ends with conner saying the battle had been won, but not the war.

And how does his scuba diving or piano playing help humanity?

Is saying Web 2.0 the same as saying next gen console?

You're right, the government should set out standards that tell journalists how to behave, it works for china.

People both love and loathe journalism, but it's clear they provide a service to democracy, yea we all know about the shitty side of things, biased media, hello magazine, but don't let this blind you to the good they can do. I think in the immediate future we will see a'lot of the old media...

The Babylon 5 guy pitched his show to paramount in 89 (gave them scripts etc.), paramount rejected it, and then came out with DS-9. It could be a coincidence, or not.

You take my words to literally. Some people will give away their time, but some software requires considerable expertise, time, and sometimes testing. Good luck getting that for free. Such programmes require little input from professional architects, I am also aware of them as I have...

How have you come to this conclusion. You’re a scientist aren’t you? I vaguely remember science lessons in first grade telling us about hypothesis, testing, analysis, and conclusion, sadly I don’t remember if that’s correct. But anyway, you keep jumping to from step 1 to step 4. I have...

Many people do, so you didn’t, my bad. Not all software requires support, our software is extremely simple and small, the IT side of the software is next to non-existent in code & cost in comparison to the engineering work to create it, which is really where the expense comes from. We...

Right, and please explain to my why this should be *forced* onto companies either legally or by subverting the law (pirate bay). I have absolutely no objections to open source, but rather that it is used to justify theft. The only explanation so far is "Humans have a right to information"...

I don’t agree it’s feasible except for particular types of programmes, but I still have no reason to be against it. I am against such things being forced through law though, if one company wants to operate this way and give their software away, that is no logical argument that others should be...

How could anyone be opposed to the idea of someone wanting to give their work away, what a ridiculous question. The whole point of copyright is that they choose what to do with their work, give it away or sell it. It's not up to the purchaser to just decide "it's for the common good" that...
