Excuse me while I laugh hysterically at your blatant disregard for basic concepts, and also ones just a little bit above common sense... such as the relation of surface area and volume, and how these influence temperature.

In 2001, researches found the FOXP2 gene to be linked to many aspects of language, specifically through enabling precise orofacial control. When this gene is not functioning correctly, severe speech impairment occurs. According to a new study appearing in Nature, this gene was a mutation in humans about 200,000 years ago- around the same time cultures begin to develop. The gene, found on the 7th chromosome, contains 2 polyglutamine tracts, which contains repeats of CAG and CAA, which is conducive to elevated mutation rates. It has been found there are mutations in other primates preventing the gene from being functional, however ignoring the polyglutamine sections, there is only 1 key difference in the sequence in the human FOXP2 and the mouse FOXP2, and only two differences between human and chimpanzee. Since the gene is also found in mice, it is suggested that it first appearing when humans and mice diverged, about 70 million years ago, and that the mutatation for the difference between the original and humans occured sometime in the past 200,000 years.

http://fafalone.hypermart.net/aol.html Kind of related... (and i tried posting this as an article here, but since for some reason vbulletin kills anything thats not basic html it wouldn't render right, and would have taken hours to convert from mso xml/dhtml to normal, so i gave up, apparently blike did too

The price tag is realistic, considering the cost of the space station, and also their projected cost for a mission to mars ($5b)... it's not as complex as one might think.

and since most encrypted material is more than a few sentences, logical filters could easily detect whether the key was right.

No key based system is uncrackable, as all possible keys could be tried.

Good.

What pages are you talking about... post the href thats 404 and/or the page that points to it.

Just to let you know I'm not a total nerd, when I was in Chamonix one evening I just got bored and started climbing My. Blanc. Some parts were near vertical, I had no gear, just kept going. Eventually the rocks got a little to icy to climb with absolutely no gear (or much past experience beyond a couple climbs in the southwest), and I turned back... climbing up to a waterfall and moving across a 1ft ledge with a 1500+ ft drop is quite an experience I'm the kind of person who will just do something, if I had the money during the summer I'd be on a different continent every week. This is hardly being a nerd

Well, there's that drug they've got over in Asia that sends users into a homicidal rage... And please don't confuse drug "use" with "abuse" like the government does. Some drugs are good, especially in moderation and infrequently... like lsd and mdma; as long as you're responsible, know your mind, and know the drug, you can have a good time. If you're against proper use of drugs, you certainly can't support alcohol being legal without being a flagrant hypocrite.

lets go

BUMP

It's very Zarkovian.

I can hardly understand your horribly poor english, but the way it works is the hotter the object is, the shorter the wavelength of the radiation it emits. The sun emits the vast majority of its light in the visible-ultraviolet range, which includes IR. The greenhouse gasses reflect most of the light in this range, no matter what direction they are coming in. The warming effect just occurs because of other frequencies that can pass through it, such as visible and radio wavelengths, and cause the earth to emit the types of wavelengths absorbed by the layers of the atmosphere.

What did I tell you about trying to explain basic wave mechanics when you don't understand it? That last post of yours shows a blatant lack of understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum. IR isn't "degraded" light, it's light in a certain range of wavelengths. Some animals can see that portion of the spectrum, humans can feel it in the form of heat. Put your hand on your oven while it's on. That's infrared. Is there an extremely bright light or a gamma ray in your oven? No. Furthermore, infrared waves generally do not make it through the atmosphere, and this is not due to greenhouse gasses. You seriously and urgently need to take a crash course in basic physics.

Einstein's theory is based on the speed of light in a vacuum, whatever it is, being constant. This study calls that into question.

This does not point to a significant change in the evaporation rate, given the relative hydrocarbon concentration. Also the articles contradicts your statement that the layer comes only from products, and not naturally as well. Since petroleum is a complex hydrocarbon, this would certainly not account for the ice ages occuring millions of years ago, since that was before we started polluting the oceans, and certainly before the natural levels would be high enough to influence evaporation.

Thanks for finally providing a reference, now was that so hard? Now that you've presented a source of experimental data and analysis, we can classify this thread as having scientific merit. However, this theory seems to contradict what you said earlier since it presents no evidence of metals affecing gene expression, and given the articles proposed mechanism of action, it's not just an omission.

There is no such article in this weeks New Scientist.

I suspect computational fluid dynamics is on the list of basic concepts Zarkov has been meaning to look at.
