Google sick of emails, creates new communications protocol
That wasn't my argument.

Google sick of emails, creates new communications protocol
This won't replace email. Most email is on a one to one basis and doesn't benifit from any of googles features. Personally I think 'collaboration' is overrated. There's a reason they dub "Sharepoint" as "Sh1tpoint".

Death Penalty
They should just bung people in prison for life then shoot them when they're old. That way both partys are satisfied. God I'm so smart.

How well does Integration of Immigrants work in your country?
I'd say his language is quite moderate compared to some forums I've read.

Viva Le France!
That's a light punishment for being caught *three* times. Sure beats prison time and/or a massive unpayable fine.

Windows 7 Thread
I used to dislike Vista, but then I took the time to learn it and tune it. HL-2 Lost Coast ended up running faster in Vista than it did in XP (it was only a gain of about about ~5fps). I'm confident Windows 7 will be even better.

Swine Flu
It probably won't take long to evolve into a less virulent strain. That's my layman take of the situation.

Obsidian making Fallout: New Vegas
Hopefully the story will be of the quality of NWN 2's OC, with an epic KotoR 2 style ending.

Akinator
I went for Dorian Gray. I'm kinda suprised it got it with the abstract questions it asked, but then it is a very popular character.

A lot of that comic is still true today, if we're honest.

You know reading back what I wrote makes me laugh, technically it's wrong but the general message is right.

Maths
I'm a maths graduate, I'll give this a try. Basically it's an unfortunate side effect of how maths has evolved from year dot. People didn't sit down and work out a set of axioms wrought through heavy analysis. They simply went with things like 1+1 = 2, etc - analysis came thousands of years later. Hence we have situations like the square root. The square root of a number usually has two roots and both are real numbers. Often in science and physics we need some way of distinguishing between them, for example wave functions. This is where the term 'imaginary' comes in. They are not literally imaginary numbers. It's just a way of getting past the "poor" way mathematics was designed. Note how I used the word usually above - believe me when dealing with logic it gets frustrating seeing that word crop up. Now I'm sure a maths professor would get angry and what I've said here, but it does hold some merit. If you want to look further into it, pick up a book on Mathematical Analysis.

You don't look at the Mona Lisa for the frame. True but as any 'artist' will tell you, the choice of frame can have a significant impact.

Global warming: Will the Sun come to our rescue?
That's your opinion as a non-scientist. Fact is you're wrong: Taks is oh so Wrong there ya go, senseless alarmism ala al gore. It is senseless because we really have passed the point of no return. I wish I was wrong on this one, believe me I have nothing to gain from making this up. Thou art moron. You really have no clue about meteorology if you're standing here and saying we only have to worry when we literally sufficate to death. [i think this is a gross over-simplification.] Its gone up by 3ppm each year, every year, for the last 10 years. [i don't know what point you were making.] Way to embarass yourself. [i believe that] Only a complete[ly ignorant person] would deny global warming exists.
