I spy with my little eye, something begining with Nuke, more 60cm resolution
galleries. That must be rather worrying for the N. Koreans... not only can
all the military spy on them, commerical companies are parking sats over em
too!

Isnt the word bravo usually reserved for when something has been done
deserving of congratulations? I thought Bro / Orb / Whoever it was was
bordering on a need-to-ban based on their previous activities in the
newsgroup...

Infact you deleted their messages too :O

No - it is a common misconception,

Such melting would only account for a minimal increase, however:

If the world temperature increased, then a large amount of that extra energy
would transfer into the ocean, and as time went on the heat would propagate
downwards.

The more energy then the faster and further the molecules of water vibrate
around their position increasing the distance between them.

Because the ocean is a finite space, this means that the only way for it to
occupy a greater volume caused by the expansion would be for its upper
surface to rise, hence causing the water levels to rise.

To put an example on it, you all know how mercury expands in a thermometer
when it gets hotter? Well although water doesnt expand as much as mercury,
imagine it on a scale of the trillions of litres of water in the ocean and
then think "oh shite...".

During the cold war Russia and the USSR developed a lot of miniture nuclear
/ radioactive systems, one of which was a device (the size of a shopping
trolley) containing an amount of radioactive material to which the seeds of
crops were passed under before being planted based on research showing how
it increased yield.

It was effective, however it caused several mutations in children born to
parents who had worked with the devices for a few years.

I have yet to crash any 2000 / XP / 2003 when running decent coded programs.

Blue screen of death would put that on 9x code.
