Greece is in the Euro, for good, there is no doubt as far as the leaders of France and Germany are concerned. This is their goal and what they paid for.

The Greek people themselves also want to stay in the Euro.

Your speculation is far from certain.

That's from high fluid (water+gas) pressures. Magma wouldn't behave that way because it is a high-temperature melt. If a small diameter hole penetrated into a magma chamber (which isn't expected in this case anyway -- magma is deeper), the most likely outcome would be a bunch of steam and the hole would plug itself as the melt flowed in the bottom, contacted the walls, cooled, solidified, and clogged the whole thing up. This sort of thing has happened before, accidentally, and while it's bad for the drilling equipment, no disaster ensued.

Putting it another way, if a tiny hole would lead to an eruption, then the thing would already be erupting or would be doing so very soon anyway.

That's what happens when you put minimum wage monkeys in charge of an incredibly boring bank of screens all day.

Sadly this will never get the attension it needs, the goverment will keep pushing for a single centrizied database either for the children for under the need to stop terrorisum, even with their track record of data fail. But we are just numbers right so who cares

WIkilink to list of UK data loses we know about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_government_data_losses
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7103566.stm

We know the goverment can track cars in real time, intercept sms and phone calls in real time, and after the centerized commications they will be able to cross ref that with your internet habbits. All in one super database to stop terrorisum.

I wrote to my MP who is a tory, I had a bit of a rant about the Goverment U-turning on this retraining data as it is one of the reasons i personally voted for them. The guy replied but it was like reading BBC news, a sales pitch that was all fluff and no content. It was all about stopping terrorisum it was just pure propaganda to push an ageneder that I personally did not think this MP was even aware of, it just seemed he was given a press release, told this is what he is going to be doing and refusing to look at anything else. The funny thing was I also wrote to my councilers and they also sent him letters along the same lines as mine all to be met with the same reply. Everyone is against this, and MPs are not even listening to their own people to pushing their own agenders.

You really should read that a little closer.

Your claim was that "next year is the year they predicted for the Arctic to be ice free."

That article says "could be," not "will be," and is from one team led by Wieslaw Maslowski, which gained his team "a deal of criticism from some of their peers" according to the BBC (example).

The possible scenario from Maslowski was also about summer ice melt.

In other words, you were lying. You were giving the impression that the entire scientific community was saying that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013 when it was a possible scenario by Maslowski's team alone. You were giving the impression that the Arctic would be totally ice-free, while they were in fact talking about the ice-minimum during summer.

You might want to take a look at what is actually happening.

Now, this is typical of you deniers. You will make claims that are either flat out lies, or claims that may seem to be correct if you don't pay attention, but then it turns out that you're twisting words and basically presenting things as something they aren't.

Just as I thought. And this is the reason why you don't want to post sources. You know they are weak and will expose you as a liar.

"Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a new wireless transmission system that works above all currently regulated spectrum frequencies. The new system works at the range of 300GHz to 3THz (terahertz), which is the Far Infrared (FIR) frequencies of the infrared spectrum"

Except such frequencies are prone to interference and don't travel far and don't work well when the transmitter and receiver are moving, which means you need lots of base stations.

"Terahertz wi-fi would probably only work within ranges of about 10m "

Now of course is where you rant and rave and make excuses as to why this doesn't count, and then refuse to post any sources of your own, because you don't have any.

Humans build systems to suit humans. The commonality is humans.

The commanity is physics and math; research on slime has shown that, when faced with the same constraints as the rail network, it will grow into almost exactly the same network structure.

Slime Design Mimics Tokyo's Rail System: Efficient Methods of a Slime Mold Could Inform Human Engineers "The model captures the basic dynamics of network adaptability through interaction of local rules, and produces networks with properties comparable to or better than those of real-world infrastructure networks... The work of Tero and colleagues provides a fascinating and convincing example that biologically inspired pure mathematical models can lead to completely new, highly efficient algorithms able to provide technical systems with essential features of living systems, for applications in such areas as computer science."

Rebekah Brooks is an interesting case, Only recently she was testifying to the leveson inquiry and some of what she had to say was personally damaging to the prime minister David Cameron and i'm not referring to Camerons use of lol (lots of love he thought it meant) which a lot of reporting seems to be focused on. Rather that the current government seems to have asked certain people at news international how to play the phone hacking scandal.

Although i'm struggling to find the exact quote now, there should be some recent news stories referring to it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18043885 might be one place to start digging if you really want to know.

Is the fact she is arrested now purely a police matter or a reflection of the anger of the current British Government after some of its dirty laundry was aired in public? Even the Police seems to have had some less than honourable involvement. One things for certain she has made powerful enemies.

The biggest problem for the British people and I doubt it is limited to British politics is there is no good guys as Tony Blair was as cozy with News Internatonal as David Cameron is/was. Maybe Gordon Brown wasn't as bad as the other two after all but maybe that is only because he was beat up in the press instead of supported... The Newspapers and TV news can present stories give prominence to some and bury others. They shape public opinion and News International seems to have a solid record on only supporting winners. Do they make the winners, the cynic in me says they do.

I just can't see a way forward since the very people who have the power to remove the corruption are part of the corruption. Your vote is pretty meaningless in a first past the post system when there is no realistic alternative to vote for.

There's still the emails that James Murdoch hilariously claims to have never seen, despite him having been an executive director and a group lawyer having CC'd him. Obviously reading an email from your lawyer is something an executive director would just never do.

Rupert Murdoch on the other hand is apparently slipping into senility and is therefore exhibiting periods of forgetfulness and general confusion, the poor man.

Although the "Enhanced CRB Check" means that being charged is turning into Extrajudicial Punishment Lite for regular folk, justice is only served when the woman is found guilty and enjoys the same sentence as oh, you know, other guys with similar convictions.

No no, you're describing the historical state of affairs. It has changed in recent years because demand for the franc has been so strong that their central bank cannot keep the currency down. This then hurts exports, and thus growth, and the Swiss at large are growing angry.

MSFT profits came from 100% Windows & Office

And what is that figure today? 95%? I would lump "Server and Tools" in with Windows, but even if you account for it separately, MS still generates more than 90% of its profit from Windows and Office. That is why investors are restless - after many years and $ billions spent, Online Services are still in the red, and Entertainment & Devices is barely profitable. Microsoft has shown to be thoroughly incapable of diversification - the vast bulk of profit still comes from exactly the same sources as a decade ago, and the success or failure of these sources dominates overall profits: Microsoft profits jump 31% on strong Office sales Microsoft profits stagnate as Windows sales fall. With increasing use of mobile devices, and online competition (Google Apps for Business), the Windows+Office monopoly is looking shakier than ever before.

The British surveillance society meme is not just perpetrated by slashdot and the Daily Mail - the BBC gets in on the action too. According to this report there is one CCTV camera for every 14 people in the country. 4.2 million cameras doesn't sound excessive to you?

Ironically, this investment failed largely because China has only fictional environmental regulations, an endless supply of powerless disposable workers and no tariffs or duties to pay on US exports (until recently). And it looks like their strategy in this case is going to win them the lion's share of the market going forward.

I was wondering if anyone selling reactors on ebay (not legal but so is selling human kidneys, which someone always post), I did find a Lionel at only $269.95 (C-9 Factory New - Brand New), http://www.ebay.com/itm/LIONEL-24294-NUCLEAR-REACTOR-/160558274893

But if you can't buy it, then gotta make it as this "fusioneer" as described in "Extreme DIY: Building a homemade nuclear reactor in NYC" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10385853 (though I have doubts as the experts at Lawrence Livermore been talking for 50 years they should have in 10 years able to demonstrate electric power production from a fusion reactor.) But I guess having a fusion reactor working or not in the basement would be pretty cool.

>UK was planning to put cameras at every intersection everywhere in the country?

That's utterly impossible. Our road network is two and a half thousand years old. We have two hundred thousand miles of paved road in a country only 700 miles long.

The UK has 2.2 miles of road for every square mile of land. That's DOUBLE the road density of the USA.

One camera per junction? Utter rubbish.

Perhaps you meant one camera per motorway (interstate) junction? That's already happened. There are traffic cameras every couple of miles on every motorway/interstate regardless of whether there's a junction or not. Images from these traffic cameras are available to the public, live, on various websites. Of course there is nothing to stop the police using them either - that kind of goes with the territory of making them available to the public.

There are also cameras and licence-plate recognition systems on other major roads, again images and traffic flow information from those is available from websites. The difference here, though, is that the police can get access to the raw OCR licence plate numbers from the licence-plate cameras, whereas the general public can only get "ping times" of how long on average it is taking traffic to get from one licence-plate camera to another licence-plate camera.

But this is a long, long way off "all intersections". The UK has masses of minor roads which have no cameras, and with two and a half thousand years of roadbuilding you can easily get from anywhere to almost anywhere else without using major roads if you really wanted to (I think I'd call that "slow... but picturesque").

I usually call up my nearby motorway junction (interstate intersection) traffic camera image on my Android phone before I get on to the M5 motorway. If the motorway looks crowded then I will just take the old 2000-year-old Bristol Street roman road instead (A38).

There has been a decrease in certain types of crime, violent crime "remains stable" perhaps due to the fact that pissed off people don't think about the consequences or cameras.

"The feared East German secret police routinely sprayed suspected dissidents with a radioactive solution as a means of secretly tracking them, according to a new report.
Stasi agents would then wear portable Geiger counters that would activate when a marked suspected dissident was nearby, according to New Scientist magazine.
So that targets would not hear the distinctive clicking of the counter at close range, Stasi secret police agents wore the detector strapped under one arm, while a vibrating alarm was slung under the other arm. The magazine reports that the 30-year-old invention mirrors the technology behind todayâ(TM)s pagers and cellphones. The magazineâ(TM)s article was based on a paper by leading radiation protection expert Klaus Becker."

21 virgins, eh? There's a different philosophy at work in northern England that doesn't even involve a commitment to the afterlife.

City driving isn't usually done for long stretches - unless it's stop and go, in which case nothing is happening to make it require much brain exercise.

Route planning and navigating through a complex urban environment can require more thought than driving along a relatively straight highway. MRI scans on taxi drivers have shown actual physical brain changes from learning complex urban maps.

Data mining is indeed a very mediocre scientific activity. Correlation on itself means nothing at all. If you want to proof something the correlation should be 100% and you should be able to explain why the correlation exists and replicate it in controlled experiments. The problem is that those slam dunk scientific discoveries are all or mostly allready found. And nowadays the poor scientists need to find something to bolster their path to glory.

Good science could be: find a correlation an proof the causality. But a lot of studies stop at the correlation. That's what fills newspapers nowadays. 'You get fat from diet coke since most people that drink diet coke are fat'.

Some scientist try to eliminate all other reasons and then decide that their causality is the only one that explains the correlation. But in effect they say: those things correlate and I 'the superintelligent scientist with multiple PhD's' cannot find another explanation and that is why my explanation must be true.

For background you should listen regularly to 'more or less: behind the stats' http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qshd
You can listen to podcasts that are interesting and fun to listen to. And some of the older ones are absolutely great. They gave me great insight in the workings of media (and science).

The only downside is that if your girlfriend tells you something she heard on the radio and you answer her: correlation is not causality, she gets upset.

This is a great idea, but may be difficult to put into practice. Here in California, then-gov. Schwarzenegger tried to do essentially what you're describing with the Free Digital Textbook Initiative. I was involved in that as an author. AFAICT, the FDTI was a complete failure. State senator Darrell Steinberg is trying to do something similar, but I don't know if it will work any better this time around: [1], [2]. I think there are a number of fundamental problems. One is that textbook selection in K-12 education in the US tends to be extremely bureaucratic and top-down, and it's virtually impossible to change that overnight, as Schwarzenegger tried to do. It's completely different from higher education, where the assumption is that professors can choose whatever text they like as a matter of academic freedom. My experience is with writing free physics textbooks. They're written for college students, but have also been adopted by a bunch of high schools. However, almost all of the high school adoptions have been from private schools, mainly Catholic schools.

There is also a huge financial incentive for the non-free textbook publishers to maintain their positions in the market. The really enthusiastic supporters were hardware manufacturers. For them it looked like a huge opportunity, because they thought they could sell a ton of computers to schools in order to give students access to the electronic books.

I would happily purchase content but I cannot bear the optical media format - mainly due to the fact that I have a centralised media centre with XBMC running on several devices. If I could purchase a disk, rip it straight to the server and never touch it again that would be great. So far, I can handle DVDs to but the anti-ripping measures of BluRay have so far stopped me from upgrading my viewing experience to HD. Anti-piracy measures are having an adverse effect on my quality of life due to pixelation.

If only I could download content in a format that I could use as I wish. This sounds counter-intuitive as a lack of DRM will make piracy easy right? Well, DRM is not exactly stopping piracy is it?

Now that I have the cash, I will pay for content - but please let me have it in an open digital format, unfettered by warnings. Copying of disks in bulk for sale in mostly cash-sales markets will then soon be a thing of the past. You don't need to look far to see that physical copies of disks are a global problem in Australia , in Indonesia , in the US and in the UK to name just a few.

New UK law to outlaw violent porn. When does kinky porn become illegal?. The Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 (2008 c. 4) is the bill; it's in part 5, section 63.

Aiding and abetting a criminal is not the same as simply knowing them or being there when they commit a crime.

Actually there is such a law. If you are in a group and someone in that group committed a murder every single member of the group is guilty of murder and can be tried and convicted for it even if you didn't know of, or approve of the murder you are still guilty of it.

It's called 'joint enterprise' or something like that. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/joint-enterprise-am-i-a-murderer-pt-3-3/9434.html

Self-defence courses are entirely legal in the UK. What this man is advocating is a form of self-defence that involves disproportionate, extreme violence. Under British law, defence has to be proportionate to the threat - you can kill a person who is attempting to kill you, but you don't have the right to kill a person who only slaps you. The British police have warned that these "self-defence" courses are teaching non-legal self-defence, and that the people who use these methods will be prosecuted and likely land up in jail.

Would the U.S. authorities actually allow a "celebrity" foreigner who advocates and teaches illegal violence to enter the country? It seems U.S. authorities routinely reject people for much lesser reasons, like a Twitter post, being friends with some bikers, minor drugs use etc. Heck, until Obama overturned it, even HIV sufferers couldn't enter the U.S.

Not currently, no.

Israel doesn't show any restraint at all.

Huh? You are trolling, right?

Basically they're attacked by crude rockets of questionable effectiveness and they respond with military grade weapons. The number of Israelis killed by these rockets since 2001 is 31. I'm pretty sure that they've killed more innocent Palestinians than

Being attacked with crude rockets still means you're being attacked. Thanks to measures by the Israeli government, they have managed to minimize casualties. Hamas, on the other hand, will use its own civilians as human shields to maximize human losses when Israel responds to attacks.

Earlier today politicians said that tired out line "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."

Even more ironic when you take in to account that the government are trying to prevent the details of the overhaul of the NHS from being published.
Nothing to hide, eh? Talk about double standards.

The only way to bring tuition prices down is to reduce the amount of money that can be spent on education. It's not like the universities are not going to fill seats. They have class rooms and teachers that cost them money regardless of how many students they have...

That's a nice idea, but the UK (except Scotland) has recently conducted this experiment for real, and what actually happens when you cut government funding is that tuition fees rise, fewer young people go to university, youth unemployment rises, and the universities end up laying off qualified staff and replacing them with students:

UK university applications down as fees rise - "With fees rising to up to £9,000 per year, the impact has been biggest for England's universities - down by 9.9%. In Scotland, where Scottish students do not pay fees, there was a fall of 1.5%."

UK university applications in 'steepest fall for 30 years' - "The proportion of UK students applying to start degrees in the autumn will drop by 10% this year, a university leader has predicted – the steepest fall for 30 years."

Youth unemployment soars, and it's not just a phase - "But it's not just the shocking tally of more than a million unemployed 18 to 24-year-olds that should worry us... there has been a very sharp rise in the number of young people who have been claiming unemployment benefit for more than a year. There were just 6,000 in 2008, but that has increased by more than eight times to just short of 50,000."

The University of Cambridge has offered all academic and non-academic staff the chance to take voluntary redundancy (can you imagine - one of the world's top universities - offering *all* employees cash to volutarily leave employment?)

If you were forced to pay for your neighbor's kid's education at gunpoint, would you still think it was free?

Give it up... even kids in China get a free education now. The choice is simple, either you want a nation of educated people, or you don't. In the knowledge led economy we now live in, people without an education have far less value. Multiply that by millions of people, and an adult working lifetime of 50+ years, and the investment will pay off.

And I have seen a lot of Europeans with "free" degrees employed in America or in American-owned companies because they can actually make good salaries.

So, those free degrees enabled people to become productive and wealthy individuals, who pay higher tax and help fund education for the next generation? Sounds great.

Again, Hitler liked dogs... do you?

lol good find.

Now wait a minute, no they weren't making it up. The man recently was interviewed and in that interview he expressed his belief in AGW. So he does believe in AGW where as it would be making it up to say Hitler did since he didn't even know about it.

You brought up OBL, I think we do have a statement from him in which he said he believe in it as well... let me find that:

OBL did blame the US for GW which of course means he believed in it.

So the heartland institute isn't making anything up but it's still trolling and they shouldn't have done it.

Again, Hitler liked dogs... do you? It's a classic fallacy.

That said, the pro AGW is addicted to ad verecundiam so there are fallacies on both sides.

People need to just make the argument respectfully on both sides and stick to facts without resorting to insults or logical fallacies.

Frankly, neither should be trusted. Fraud has been proven on both sides. For example, scientists that disagreed with the UN report on global warming had their names included as if they signed off on it. Scientists have admitted exaggerating the effects of climate change. Scientists have been caught trying to silence critics of their work.

Citations, please. It is impossible to agree or disagree with an opinion. Please provide citations so those reading can see the basis of your opinions to see if they come to the same conclusion.

...scientists that disagreed with the UN report on global warming had their names included as if they signed off on it...

I can't find the articles explaining who the authors were that were listed as in the IPCC report that disagreed with the conclusion that GW was man made. In the mean time, here is another article by an author who states what I said, that the IPCC was a political body, whose authors were selected by their representative governments, whose purpose was political, for example, to get the US to sign the Kyoto protocol. ...Scientists have admitted exaggerating the effects of climate change....

There was no link except for Saddam Husein allowing terrorist training camps in Iraq, the Iraq government paying the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, etc. There was no link to the 9-11 terrorist attacks, but there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein sponsored terrorism in many cases. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2846365.stm "A Hamas suicide bomber's family got $25,000 while the others - relatives of militants killed in fighting or civilians killed during Israeli military operations - all received $10,000 each. Another banner in the hall described the cheques as the "blessings of Saddam Hussein" and PALF speakers extolled the Iraqi leader in fiery speeches. "Saddam Hussein considers those who die in martyrdom attacks as people who have won the highest degree of martyrdom," said one.
