Actually I was referring to drops in temp.

We always seem to say that about new technologys, oh it will last forever and have no effect. Then we learn much latter that it was a mistake......

Neat map and all but I wonder what would the effects would be of us sapping all this heat energy out of the crust of the planet do to tempatures?

I find it rather funny that www.facebook.com has face in part of the address.

But they do have a dominance in the mobile device market. I bet the DoJ is keeping a close eye on Apples behavior.

Get real you AC. The real world is a lot more complex than the "utopia" you seem to be in. I was just stating the fact that the choice to use a particular OS is usually dictated by the requirements of the application for a needed system.

Windows is such crapware, as so many of you think, why don't you guys all get together and write an emergency management system that runs on a Linux distro? Now I obviously don't know for sure, but it seems likely the reason they are using Windows is that their application is written that way. Take a way the need to use Windows before bitching and moaning about them using Windows.

One of the last few lines in "Thank you for smoking". We are improving history.

Agreed. Considering the previous /. article http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/11/01/1942259/Google-Sues-US-Govt-For-Only-Considering-Microsoft explains that they were only considering MS solutions, not MS as the implementor of said solutions. Google just needs to stop crying when it loses and says MS is evil.

Yes, but it does have a user replaceable liver.
