While having the Chinese branch of twitter obeying Canadian law sounds good, I don't think China would be happy.

Free enterprise just leads to big government as the business that can get favorable laws implemented are going to do better then the business that doesn't get laws passed. In the case of Obama-care, the market spoke by the successful insurance companies paying a fee to the politicians for more income.

A government that isn't too centralized and spending energy to repress its citizenship. It's not really size as you can have a small government that contracts out the secret police and a large government that is focused on improving infrastructure.

How the hell do you come to the conclusion that the DNC and Obama are socialist? Have you not seen their actions? They're just as pro-big business as the Republicans, just different big businesses. Banks getting bailed out and then endless streams of free money printed just for their use, a socialist would have nationalized the banks, broken them up and hopefully turned them into credit unions or at least sold small banks back to the people. Look at their healthcare reform, the only ones benefiting are the insurance companies with a guaranteed clientele.

Perhaps he is in favour of personal liberty and small government? Republicans (and Democrats) have consistently favored large government and trampling over the rights of the citizens while making whatever promises will get them elected. So far the only successful libertarian movements have been socialist, which makes sense as socialism is in favour of the rights of the people while the various right wing movements are in favour of the rights of big business and/or the rich. In America both parties main differences are which big businesses they back with the Democrats throwing the odd bone to the people to attract those with leftist leanings and Republicans likewise throwing the odd bone to Conservatives to attract their votes. The main problem with America is how successful the propaganda machine has been, including the idea that socialism equals big government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Lots of mass murders and genocide has happened without government involvement. History of the Americas is full of it, starting with Columbus's third voyage, driven by having to pay back the investors.
Never heard of solar weather? Seriously, my local meteorologist is always reminding people that climate involves at least 30 year trends and I'd assume the same applies to other planets with a year perhaps defined as the time the planet revolves around the Sun.
Yes, I poked around on there. Mostly it seems to deal with weather, changes from one year to another while climate, at least on Earth, is usually considered to be 30+ year trends. The orbit of Mars is much more variable then Earths which does lead to long term climate changes. The number I've heard about Solar driven climate is about 30%, which considering that the Sun has been outputting less heat then usual, may help explain the slow down in warming. I do worry about what will happen when the Suns output goes above normal. There's so much conflicting information about the Antarctic ice. Is it volume or just area? Is the increase in one area more then the decrease in a different area. How much has precipitation increased? Warmer weather often brings more precipitation and if it still below freezing, that increases the amount of snow. If it is rain, or more melt, that lowers the salinity of the surface or the ocean and raises the freezing point leading to more ice. I'm not qualified to judge.
In the case of Mars, it is dust storms, which are the main driver of weather on Mars. Jupiter (and Saturn and Neptune) generates its heat internally and has massive weather systems that transfer the heat upwards. I can't find any evidence at all about Titan warming up though Neptune and Triton are entering summer (in the southern hemisphere in the case of Neptune) changing the luminosity which some have jumped to the conclusion means warmth. Doesn't seem to be any other evidence n their case. Uranus, the one outer planet that does not create its own warmth, has not been warming up. The Sun itself recentest peak in output was about 1960, dipped about 1970 peaked again about 1980 and has been on a downward trend since, possibly partially explaining why warming slowed down.
Do you have any citations for any of your claims excepting Pluto? All my Google Foo can come with is simple comparisons of weather mistaken for climate except Pluto where it is summer.
The AC is full of shit. Both Github and Bitbucket are equally slow over dialup (about 1 minute to load a page here, not bad when the average page takes closer to 5 minutes after blocking the ads and such) and of course CTRL-F works on the page, at least with SeaMonkey. I started using Bitbucket due to needing to clone a Mercurial repository and they were the only one to support Mercurial and I will say that Mercurial is horrible over dial-up with it often suddenly timing out after 10 minutes or so whereas Git is much more resilient. But that's Mercurial or more likely Python, not Bitbucket which I've been happy with though I will admit I only use the command line.
50 years ago it took me a week to cross the Atlantic (Liverpool to Montreal + another 3 days to Vancouver) as like most people I couldn't afford the air fair.
Some Libertarians seem to just want to replace government tyranny with corporate tyranny or at least tyranny of the rich (them). The famous quote is something like "wanting just enough government to protect them from their slaves"
More like instead of a powerful government, a powerful ruling class which they fantasize will be them. Unluckily history has shown that there is always a power hungry asshole ready to step into any power vacuum.
Most Socialist revolutions started out with libertarian ideals (Libertarianism was originally a far left ideology) and turned into tyrannies when some power hungry arsehole subverted the revolution.
Conservatives value individual freedom, limited government, lower taxes, etc
You must have been going for a funny mod here. Conservatives believe in big government which has a main role of stopping people (and nations) practicing individual freedoms that they don't like, and they're willing to go into debt to do it.
You need a fairly flat spot to land and the craters probably aren't nice plains like the Apollo spacecraft landed on. The Helium 3 (not 4) is very thinly spread on the Moon and it is easy to make Helium 3 on the Earth, just irradiate water to make Tritium and let it decay into He3. Of course fusing He3 is much harder then fusing Deuterium and Tritium, which we still can't do in a controlled energy positive way.
Canada had 8 years of surplus budgets with a socially liberal party in power. We also had the largest deficits in our history (after blowing those surpluses) when the right wingers gained power as well as 8 years of deficits with the right wingers in power and now our economy is fucked due to those right wingers who claim to be fiscally conservative but whose actions proved otherwise. They were good with complicating the tax structure with their targeted tax reductions though.
The trick is to just let a few scripts run. Currently noscript says "3/9 (janrain.com, slashdot.org, fsdn.com)|: 31|:0" and it works fairly well here. I can't remember why I added janrain.com to the whitelist and it might not be needed now. Edit, there was also SCRIPT and OBJECT in angle brackets in the above that vanished on preview and I'm too lazy to fix.
