You're forgetting something...
We know the stargate universe is based on the quantum divergent timeline
model. Every action creates at least two universes where each possible
outcome plays out.
So, no. The future isn't written yet, or rather, we haven't chosen the
path
OUR future will take. But all possible futures are already mapped out. So,
no, O'Niell doesn't have to go to the stargate in 2010 to send himself a
message because an alternate version of himself has already done so. In
that
reality, the baddies won, but he successfully spawned a new universe in
which the warning was received and heeded.
Shep apppeared at one possible future atlantis, not NECESSARILY the one
that
will eventually play out in his timeline.
Etc...
