The prediction comes from the most comprehensive analysis yet of the potential effects of human-made global warming.Extreme floods, forest

Speculation over when oil is expected to peak has hovered around a wide band, but even the most optimistic peak oil theorist believes it would not be later than 2030. THE SPIRALLING oil prices of the last 18 months have begun to ring the alarm bells in the global economy nurtured for over a century by an abundant and apparently inexhaustible supply of oil. It is now widely believed that the

Kevin Barrett believes the U.S government might have destroyed the World Trade Center. Steven Jones is researching what he calls evidence that the twin towers were brought down by explosives detonated inside them, not by hijacked airliners.These men aren't uneducated junk scientists: Barrett will teach a class on Islam at the University of Wisconsin this fall, over the protests of more than 60

In the below post 'World War III - what, me worry?', on the subject of how China and India would fail to react in the event that the West and Islam proceed toward a full conflagration, even if such a conflict would be a heaven-sent opportunity for both powers to fully realize their own strategic objectives. While current events dictate an eventual conflict, a number of factors will have to fall

Sam Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations is now being made operational in the Middle East, thanks to the neo-conservatives' vision of the West triumphing over Islam. The end game that most right-wing observers look to now is a conflagration that sees the West take on Islam, supported by a coalition of willing allies in Africa and Asia. Meanwhile, Islam counts on its army of the faithful to

Hi,Nice racing this weekend. But Raikkonen, again plagued by his misfortune lost his chance to win the race. The one tyre rule (which was actually made to stop Ferrari's domination), is taking its toll on the other teams, running on Michelin tyres too. If not for Raikkonen's screwed up tyre, he could have easily won the race. And yet again, his spin on the last part of his race, costed him

Hi,I dont deny FF is gaining popularity and has reached 10% of the browser shares, but It can never beat good 'ol IE. Consider the corporate environment. There FF is literally unheard of. High end coporate and enterprise web applications are developed, tested and deployed only keeping IE on mind. FF again, can never, and again never, get a share in the coporate environment.FF can truly beat IE,

After an eventful and often tension-filled journey covering over nine million kilometres in 14 days, the space shuttle Discovery made a flawless pre-dawn touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave desert.NASA spent some one billion dollars upgrading the other three shuttles after the Columbia's disintegration. Even after the recent successful mission, NASA undoubedly will know

Hi,I came across this article the other day. A sportswoman named Priya, from Chennai, India represents the country internationally in the hurdle racing. She has won many gold for the country. She has also completed a first class MBA.She had a difficult time getting a job and hence tried a government job through her sports quota. The government , recognizing her talent gave her a 'Peon' job. The

" The Asian community has denounced a proposal to "rebrand'' British nationals of foreign origin by describing them in their passports as "Asian-British,'' "Indian-British'' or "Pakistani-British.'' "What are these guys thinking?I feel the community do not need such "external labels". I am sure they will be comfortable in being able to identify themselves without the need for external labels.

Hi,I got hold of a leaked download link of IE 7 Beta 1. So, just wanted to share my comments on it. First thing noticable after the smooth installation is the all new IE icon, that revloutionary e - icon, which according to a layman is synonomous with Internet. Its got a blend of shaded dark blue with a black tinge in it. Looks cool! Then,once IE is fired, the tabbed browsing is the only
