Study: Sudden sea level surges threaten 1 billion – CNN.com SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) — More than 1 billion people live in low-lying areas where a sudden surge in sea level could prove as disastrous as the 2004 Asian tsunami, according to new research presented on Thursday. I’m worried about sea level rise, too, but there is a somewhat unseemly threat “arms race” going on here. Latest bid, in the words of Dr. Evil, one BILLION people at risk. The other 5.3 billion are at risk, too, from the GIANT ASTEROID HEADING STRAIGHT FOR EARTH that we’re not looking very hard for, either. To be fair, the 500-year probability of gradual sea level rise is probability far higher than the 500-year probability of being hit by a dinosaur-killer. Unless the chevron people are right… Technorati Tags: climate change, chevrons, sea level rise, Dr. Evil wfzimmerman’s review: “Another very funny Dortmunder book. Why are laugh-out-loud authors so far and few between? Westlake is a treasure.” wfzimmerman’s review: “Another prescient title from O’Reilly. A historical memento of the beginning of an Internet era.” wfzimmerman’s review: “Old school — very cool.” To that end, we are truly excited to announce our acquisition of DoubleClick. DoubleClick provides a suite of products that enables agencies, advertisers, and publishers to work efficiently, that will enable Google to extend our ad network and develop deeper relationships with our partners. Chomp! Pac-Man eats Doubleclick. Official Google Blog: We’re expecting Well, we tried to keep it a secret as long as we could, but to be honest, we’ve been dying to tell you about the bun we’ve got in the oven. We’ll soon be welcoming a new addition to the Google Docs & Spreadsheets family: presentations. Why is this an awful idea? Because Google knows better. Google, which prides itself on its technical savvy, is wantonly ignoring the well-documented deleterious effects of the “powerpoint culture” on organizational culture and, let’s face it, rational thought. Strictly a “me too” business decision. Google would be doing the world more of a favor if it deleted *.ppt from its index.

This is the book that convinced me to take Scalzi seriously. he has a tendency to be too glib for my taking, but in this story he plays it straight all the way. Good stuff.” wfzimmerman’s review: “My dad’s favorite children’s book of all time. A gift from him.” wfzimmerman’s review: “A wedding present from my best man, Dan Woods.” |
