The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

World's most powerful laser to tear apart the vacuum of space
A laser powerful enough to tear apart the fabric of space could be built in Britain as part major new scientific project that aims to answer some of the most fundamental questions about our universe.
Due to follow in the footsteps of the Large Hadron Collider, the latest "big science" experiment being proposed by physicists will see the world's most powerful laser being constructed.
Capable of producing a beam of light so intense that it would be equivalent to the power received by the Earth from the sun focused onto a speck smaller than a tip of a pin, scientists claim it could allow them boil the very fabric of space

HOGSHIT

retconning climate!!

1.   The whole point of the AGW theory is its unprecedented and unnatural climate developments--requiring some unique and unprecedented source--justifying inferring causation to the correlation between industrialization and climate change.
"Oh crap! Climate is crazy! What new factor could have caused it! --It's US!!!!"

But you can't say "tobacco causes lung cancer to spike" and then say "what other bad personal habits caused diseases in medeval times --what if black Death was caused by constipation"  I mean I know these guys have to write papers to justify tenure, but COME ON

2.   More acres in North America are forested today than when Columbus landed.  this is because we
a) harvest trees and keep lands forested
b) harvest fruits and planted orchards in grasslands
c) like trees near the house and planted trees on grasslands
d) fight forest fires.
