Homie, for every grant-grabbing university making a bit of scratch off of publishing results (which they don't, actually), there are 10 corporations making billions off of screwing shit up. If you want to compare the profitability of the two sides, you'll find the anti-global-warming side is winning, like Bill Gates vs a marginally successful meth dealer. And that is the only reason the anti-environmentalist side has any foothold whatsoever: They have much more money to spend.

Godwins law, in ur congress. A US senator is going to push for a hearing... regarding a University in another counrty? Posturing, all of it. This also makes the assumption that all of the worlds climate change data came form one place.... which it didnt.

That's what makes him a shitty salesman. If he's on commission, he probably makes less than me. lol

I see no hard evidence that the purported emails weren't fabricated by the hackers themselves. If they're a shady enough character to hack into the orginization to steal data, they're shady enough to make up bullshit to further their cause. I'd frankly be dissapointed if the media did pick up on this, because they're supposed to get news from reliable sources. "Some guys on the internet" are not a valid source. Good. Global warming is a red herring and any folk that have decided to take a stance on mankinds involvement, for or against, are gullible fucking morons. A) Global Warming is used by punditis to argue against political opponents. Mans involvment can be neither proven not disproven, AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHY YOU HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT IT. It is brought up by people who love to argue, and it distracts you from the things that really matter. B) Fact: The climate has a billion year history of shifting wildly, whether we were here or not. C) Fact: Global average temperatures have gone up. Deny it and you're a gullible fucking moron who ignores things that you see everyday and favors the bullshit fed to you by your pundits of choice. You beleive what you want to beleive and ignore the obvious. Fault is irrelevant, the shit is happening. D) Pollution kills shit and makes us sick. Period. I don't give a fuck what Co2 does to global average temps over twelve decades. I care about asthma rates skyrocketing, lead and mercury in the waters, inedible fish, and loss of landscapes and resources that make our lives possible. If it were up to me, anyone who mentioned "manmade Global Warming", for or against, would be sentenced to 10 years hard labor in fucking Alaska, punishment for trying to take our eyes off the ball. We need to clean shit up, we need to help motivate other countries to clean shit up. You think China's "Dust Bowl" agricultural disaster is only their problem? That dust makes it all the way over here, millions of tons of it, and that accelerates snowmelt. You can lose Glaciers without global warming, but it is still a man-made effect. We need to clean up, period, "global warming" is irrelevant. Dangerous attitude. You're saying that, though you can improve, you shouldn't have to because the kid across the street doesn't have to. In that kind of standoff, nothing happens and things spiral downwards. You're also putting your short-term money before the long-term health of your country and kids. You don't clean your kitchen and wash your dishes because you're showing off to your neighbors. You do it because you'll get sick and die if your food-room is filthy. Want to blow your fucking mind? The short-term money attitude that you have is one of the key contributers to the problem; "Choking the skies with progress". One Super Containership that hauls all of your Walmart goods into US poorts pumps out as much polutants as 50 million cars anually. Have a read about what cheap goods equate to in terms of air quality. Am I going to bring up Co2 output and global warming? Fuck no, I'm not going to waste your time. What I WILL bring up is the direct health impact that these ships are having. The rates of respiratory ailments nationally are going up, and in port towns like Long Beach, where there is a shit ton of sea/truck/train traffic, the rates are double the national average. "4,000 long-time residents around San Pedro Bay die prematurely each year from air pollution-related illnesses that include cancer, heart disease and respiratory illness exacerbated by port-generated emissions."

Jaded is probably more the word. Imagine trying to sell a porsche, and having some kids show up to test drive it. Regardless, they're a salesman and shouldn't let that effect their sales attitude; shit happens, be professional.

Can I hop in? Eli: You drive a drop top German sportscar and have a beard and you took out a gay craigslist ad... are you sure that Freud wasn't involved? How many times have you drawn that tat on your abdomen with a sharpie and told some dissapointed young lad "Yeah that pic is totally me, I'm just retaining water"? Sorry, OH8STi really needed the help.

http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/9955/ Takes JPEGS and AVI's, great quality. Can make a human hair appear as thick as your pinky. Used to take , and it's not as close as it could be; I positioned it about an inch above to get more bits in the frame. Snap this up and you'll be looking for ways to use it.

I may be flexible on price, won't know unless you ask! -
They go out the top port?

Well there's the disconnect. lol I'm very non-flashy, my tastes are subtle, with an affinity for the steam age. This is the new casual watch, currently being shipped from Neuchatel: http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/2545/dinop.jpg cal is circa 1955 The hands need a buffing/polishing, maybe a fresh dab of tritium paint... Will Homeland Security still let me buy that? lol

Well if that's the case, why wear a watch at all? Why not jsut a pracelet? I'd venture a guess that they make very poor jewelry since (obviously) 95% of people around you have no idea what they're looking at... unless you're wearing the same Rolex that Jay Z or who the hell ever wore in some video. I've got a beater watch to tell time and sound an alarm occasionally: In the woods, abroad, in the water, etc. It's certainly not jewelry, its kind of hideous. My other watches are primarily for telling time, yet don't look like shit when worn with nicer clothes. Just liek shoes, you wear them to protect your feet, and style them to look good enough with the rest of yoru clothes so that they don't stand out. What's inside the watch is a matter of preference, and I prefer mechanisms because I'm a nerd.
-
Well... no not really. Everyone I know that wears a watch is always carrying their phone. I'd also consider the watch to be a tool, not jewelry. For the older generations it's just habbit. Have any of you heard the "checklist"? "Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet, Watch", things a man should never leave home without. Me? I just don't want to fish around in my pocket when I want to know the time/date. I've got a pretty cynical view on the topic: The cell phone has destroyed peoples ability to plan and be punctual. You can change plans at the last minute, call when your late, communicate en-route, etc. People jsut don't feel the need to know the time anymore, unless they're waiting to get off work or waiting for their show to come on.

Havea vid: Poor quality, I may try to use one of the scopes here at work to get really close up. Picked up a vintage Wittnauer over the weekend. Catch: I have to wait for it to get here from Switzerland.

True, but you *could* imply that the officer made up the 62mph just to give the uppity kid a ticket. Better have a good lawer for that one. Good point on the incline. Though the stretch of road in question is flat, the would account for a speed variance elsewhere.

... preventing improvements in justice: http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20091104/ARTICLES/911049901/1334/NEWS?tc=autorefresh I ran into this when I fought a vascar ticket. They're so afraid of setting a precident that they rule in the face of the evidence just to support the status quo. Nevemind that the precident NEEDS to be set if the devices used to CHARGE PEOPLE WITH CRIMES are of questionable accuracy.
