Indeed, I would just like to reiterate.

The Girl Scouts as a whole do not discriminate upon orientation, nor sex. They work with Planned Parenthood and many of the leaders are feminists. (Read this if you think feminists are all "feminazis")

Just recently they allowed a transgendered girl to join.

Now, what often happens is local chapters don't agree. In fact, a troop in Louisiana disbanded in protest. Which is really really stupid. Boggles the mind people would be willing to sacrafice such an excellent program for their daughters because the organization as a whole rightly believes that a girl isn't defined by what's between her legs.

Here's a dispicable group that had a 14 year old girl make a video very much against transgendered people, calling for people to boycott buying Girl Scout cookies. So of course everyone ended up buying a ton of cookies from them, I also think they figured out who she was and kicked her out. Unsurprisingly that video has been taken down, but there's probably copies up elsewhere. They have a Wall of Shame that is better read as Wall of Awesome.

Also, the web layout is just awful. Just plain awful.

First, to share the link that was going around on google+. Here is a shot of a galaxy similar to our own with a yellow dot to show how far radio waves would travel out from the center of the yellow dot in 200 light years.

From this you can see our efforts are puny.

The Arecibo message is now revealed to be a complete joke. It was aimed at a cluster 25,000 ly away which will be in a different place by the time our carefully crafted bitmap arrives from 1974, and of course it would take 50,000 years for any reply to come from that message if it had been aimed properly. I feel the current SETI efforts are in the same minor league of effort as this.

The other thought I have, to expand on another made here about use of light... What about these gamma ray bursts which arrive here once in awhile and show enormous releases of energy? Has anyone considered that they could be the equivalent of flashing a light in your eyes to see if you are paying attention? We don't have the means to produce such a burst of energy, and so it was assumed this must be a natural event. But we are thinking of our technology and our scale of capability. It doesn't mean there isn't another being capable of massive energy releases like this, to act as a lighthouse beam of sorts

I do wonder whether it wouldn't be possible to reconstruct hands using a titanium skeleton (like they do for jawbone replacement) and use airbags to stretch the skin so that it would cover that skeleton.

This Sunday Times article is just the latest in a string of Rupert Murdoch media outlets (mostly the Wall Street Journal) posting exaggerated and questionably-researched stories about "hacking scandals" at large internet companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc. The strategy seems to be to distract the public from real hacking scandals at News of the World and other Murdoch owned properties and make it appear that hacking is a normal activity for successful companies. What, you thought that scandal was old news? More details continue to get out (despite Murdoch's attempts to cover it up).

They must really bo bored up there: his collegue created a lego replica of the ISS... within the ISS.

Pretty cool, I think.

Sure. Do we have that now riverat1? Why are there pesky scientists refusing to join this 'consensus' I keep hearing about? How accurate did Michael Mann's Hockey Stick prediction turn out to be? Remember when the cause was called Global Warming? Why change the name to Climate Change if things are actually getting warmer?

We had scientific consensus that the Earth was the center of the universe at one point also. Galileo was flamebait (nobody expects the Spanish inquisition) when he dared to speak out against the consensus at one point also.

Try being a rape survivor with PTSD triggers on non-consensual groping. Try having a colostomy or other embarrassing medical device of your choice. Try being a transgendered person forced to risk being outed to some random TSA chimp to travel. The epsilon-minus Wal-Mart rejects they hire are not exactly the sort of people who can be relied on to handle such situations discreetly and respectfully.

Moreover, even for someone who has no such special vulnerability, this sort of treatment is simply unacceptable. You may not have a problem with it - hell, you probably like it and wish they'd shove that jackboot up your ass just that much harder - but the notion that one should be expected to be okay with having the government inspect one's genitals is simply obscene. Make no mistake, this is a rape, and it's about the same thing most other rapes are: the assertion of power so absolute as to abrogate the victims' control over even the most intimate parts of their own bodies. This is the forcible reduction of free persons to 'bare life', as Agamben would put it. This is a seed, and thanks to people like you willing to accept and defend it, it has taken root and become almost impossible to challenge, and now we wait in fear of the next step. When fully matured, this is O'Brian saying to Winston Smith, "If you are a man, Winston, you are the last man. Your kind is extinct; we are the inheritors. Do you understand that you are alone? You are outside history, you are non-existent."

All in all, I recommend you reconsider your position.

Roofers fall off roofs all the time putting solar in.

There's no utterly safe energy source, but nuclear has done a damn good job proving its track record.

Too right it has nothing to do with the car being stolen. When I went to get my first insurance, the price was up to £5,000 per year for a car costing £1000. Even after shopping and bargaining my insurance still cost more per year than the total capital cost of my car for 3rd party only. The two factors that determine insurance price are age and class of vehicle (loosely linked to engine capacity).

You can see why compulsory 3rd party is a good thing. You would hate it if somebody crashed into your car but then turned around and said "Would love to help out mate but I'm a bit skint at the moment". Jaster is right that the UK insurance companies run it like a cartel, though watchdogs have recently started to clamp down.

Granted, they are not a coherent movement so I can't say that all skeptics have predicted global cooling. The leaders of the movement who are willing to predict anything at all have predicted or promoted global cooling. They are right of course. If CO2 is not a major driver then global cooling has indeed been imminent for the last couple decades. Here is the solar output since 1985: http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/sidc-ssn/mean:138/from:1985

The only notable people missing are McIntyre, McKitrick, Spencer, and Lindzen. None of these people are willing or able to make predictions.

My prediction? We've just had the hottest La Nina on record - hotter even than all but one of the El Nino's of the previous century. La Nina's are cooler part of the ENSO. ENSO neutral 2010 was tied for hottest year on record. Even a small El Nino (warm part of ENSO) will push us into the hottest year on record. So the hottest year on record will come with the next El Nino. Probably within 2 years?

Afghanistan?

Not sure which one you're referring to, but yes, both were religious.

The Soviet-Afghan war was actually a civil war between socialist secularists and moderate-to-radical Islamists, with the first faction backed by USSR, and the second backed by Pakistan and USA. The primary reason for the war was that Islamists were offended at such horrible Soviet innovations as mixed-gender schools and universities.

The second war was against Taliban - 'nuff said.

Kosovo?

Definitely religious. Serbs are Orthodox Christian, Albanians are mostly Muslim. Kosovo itself is called "Kosovo and Metohija" in Serbian, and "Metohija" literally means "monastery lands" - because that was the historical seat of the Church in Serbia, and it's where most of its monasteries were. Then it also has Kosovo Polje, the place of the historical battle where (Christian) Serbian forces were defeated by the invading (Muslim) Ottoman army, after which Serbia was annexed into Ottoman Empire.

And yes, it also comes up in the fighting - Albanians burn down churches, and Serbs burned mosques.

Libya?

Fact is that Samsung created a tablet that looks very similar to an iPad, and that similarity was intentional. Other tablets do _not_ look that similar. And it is obvious that Apple doesn't like it. Whether Apple has a case legally or not doesn't matter that much; the message sent is "if you try to sell devices that we think are copying our devices then you'll end up in court, and we make it as inconvenient as possible for you". There are plenty of other devices where Apple could have sued over the same patents, but they don't because the _reason_ for suing is not the patents, but the similarity of the product design.

As far as "Other tablets do _not_ look that similar" goes Apple would beg to differ.
Yes apple is anti-competitive in the fact that they will drag you into court over trivial similarities. They took the very common flat slate concept and filed a patent on it. One thing they are very good at is using the ideas and concepts of others and claiming them as their own while convincing the faithful that it was all their idea. Prior art be damned. Keep swallowing the talking points of Apple's PR dept. though don't let the facts get in the way.

Sagely words, cffrost.

Some others:

"I refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one."

"Corporations are born in a lawyerâ(TM)s office, exist only on paper, have no social conscience, no soul and can never die."

The worst example of blind love for a corporation would have to be the way consumers worship Apple; a company whose workers are treated cruelly and ruthlessly. What is 'Cool' about this?

There's a big difference between sending an easily ignored email and dealing with a store that is deliberately designed to make it harder to find stuff easily, as well as force you to walk through as many aisles as possible.

Grocery stores put the staples like milk and butter in the back of the store, and fresh produce in the front, for a reason. It's all painstakingly coordinated to ensure you walk out of there with as much stuff you didn't intend to buy when you went in as possible.

I can't blame a business for doing this, necessarily, but my time is valuable, and when I want something, I want to get in, buy it, and get out. As many stores are designed to make that as difficult as possible, online ordering is the way to go for me.

Context is very important. Especially when dealing with a different culture, even though they may share a common language

Of course, as these young Brits discovered, this works both ways.

A hoax? From the scientific community? Maybe you could lay off the magic mushrooms for a bit.

I'm a scientist. We live or die by how well our theories explain the natural world. You seem to be suggesting that there's a cabal of scientists who are for various reasons trumpeting "the hoax" for precisely what? Our reward system would make any of us fabulously rich if only we could conclusively prove man-made warming is wrong. It hasn't happened.

I think waaay too much time is spent on man-made warming is "right" versus "wrong". Very basic physics suggests more CO2 in the atmosphere should result in some temperature increase. The $40 trillion question is "how significant is the warming, and is it beneficial or not?".

I personally have a huge problem with the current approach penalizing Western civilization, while giving China (the worlds biggest CO2 producer) and much of the rest of the world a free pass. We shouldn't wreck the US economy to benefit the rest of the world - we need a level playing field. The US has done a lot to improve the standard of living around the world, and it may well come up with a solution to global warming if in fact it turns out to be a problem.

What everyone in a frenzy about global warming should agree on, is that there should be a huge push for more nuclear power. It's the only technology that comes close to meeting our future energy needs while emitting no greenhouse gasses.

The good news is that we probably have a good bit longer than the IPCC predicts due low solar activity for the next few decades. We're also about due for a major volcanic eruption...

Kind of like the frame-jobs the FBI used to do where in the 1970s and 1980s they would take a suspect and mail him catalogue after catalogue after catalogue of various kinds of pornography, then "bust" them when they finally ordered something.

Or take the case of Max Hardcore. I personally think the guy is disgusting as hell, BUT they had him extradited all the way from California to Georgia in order to jurisdiction-shop to get him found guilty, because none of the material he produced was a violation of obscenity law in California where he lived and worked. How did they get him to Georgia? One of the prosecutors ordered one of his movies from a third-party distributor that then mailed it to Georgia, then claimed that by this measure the production company "did business in Georgia." Oh, and did I mention that this was the THIRD try, after the courts had told the FBI and the criminally corrupt prosecutors to fuck off on two previous, unconstitutional indictments?

But don't worry. The FBI would never do anything naughty or illegal...

Nowadays religion etc is out-of-fashion, so there's stuff like football, street-gangs, Cult of Apple and the occasional pack of rioters. And within each group, the members will just do whatever the rest are doing or if a strong leader is present, they'll do whatever the leader tells them to do.

So I suggest that if you give the youth a less destructive "tribe"/"gang" to belong to, with interesting activities that give them a sense of purpose and a "place", it'll help keep more of them out of trouble for at least a number of years, till they find something else (or not).

Not some panel in London.
