Google has quietly expanded its list of censored search phrases with the addition of The Pirate Bay’s domain names. The blacklist prevents popular keywords from appearing in Google’s Instant and Autocomplete search services, while the pages themselves remain indexed. Although Google understands that there is no silver bullet to stop online copyright infringement, the search giant is convinced that the steps they’ve taken could help to decrease piracy.
"The suspect's lawyer had argued the amulet and mask "were neither tangible nor material and, unlike for example electricity, had no economic value." But the Netherlands' highest court said the virtual objects had an intrinsic value to the 13-year-old gamer because of "the time and energy he invested" in winning them while playing the game."
No - not according to available data. This is where you might want to take a moment to ponder what possible reasons you could have advocating genocide for no apparent reason.
The reference was "Andy Karam, adjunct professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology."
(I challenge the OP, if that's not you, to supply one single scientific reference to "a great deal of radiation" where radiation would be of the harmful non visible light kind)
The non-disease "monitor-sickness" was one of the motivations behind the original certification, and in contrast to what you wrote is not at all recognized by my government, and has no scientific basis:
The CRT puts out a great deal of radiation and wastes a great deal of energy. Through a series of regulations at various national levels, a standard was put in place to limit the radiation of the CRT. The ultimate solution was the LCD, but that was expensive. However, in a short time, due to interaction between government and corporate interests, almost everyone has moved away from the CRT to a more efficient and safe LCD. Does the CRT really cause damage? Who knows, but because all this was done under the table we are saved from the hooligans of conservatism and libertarians shouting from the rooftops that the LCD is a communist plot and anyone who wants an LCD hates America, or whatever.
I congratulate you to a well written troll post. However, there are some nutcases that really believe a CRT TV put out harmful radiation, you might want to make sure you don't get confused with them in any way.
The most interesting one of all? A carefully restored and working 1985 Commodore Amiga demonstrated to the judge and jury.....
Carefully restored? My 198x Atari ST machines (including an MFM RLL harddrive) were just unpacked from storage a few weeks ago and still work just fine.
It is especially interesting since here in sweden, there is no reporting about refused opportunities to question Assange in the UK, and there is no talk about why Sweden would not offer guarantees of no extradiction to the US.
Oh there is. By TT. Republished in all major newspapers. I'm somewhat surprised you've missed it.
The BEST papers have indeed failed peer review. From one of the reviewer's own mouth:
I submitted my review at the end of March. The authors had made very few changes and had not addressed any of the methodological problems, so I recommended the paper not be published. I do not know what the journal's decision was, but it is 4 months later and I can find no evidence on the BEST website that this or any other BEST project paper has been accepted for publication. [Update July 30: JGR told me "This paper was rejected and the editor recommended that the author resubmit it as a new paper."]
I think the point of the paper is that using new information, Leroy 2010, the way adjustments should be made becomes different. You referencing algorithms that do not reflect the conclusions from Leroy does not in any way disprove that.
The real story was that we had a big non-believer on AGW had a change of heart when he did the research himself and came to the same conclusion as IPCC.
(and I'm not sure there is a conclusion to talk about yet since the paper isn't peer reviewed. It also seems his former paper was rejected in peer review which doesn't bode well)

2: The system was rigged from the ground up to give lots of coins to people hopping on first
You mean just like stocks in any startup?
4: The lack of open source clients.
All of the ones I know of are open source.
The "official" one for desktops can be found here: https://github.com/bitcoin
A Java implementation used by the most popular mobile client is here: http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/
The rest of your points were opinions - I just wanted to point out the verifiable falsehoods.
Show me where I advocated genocide? Citation?
"we have too many people"
The rest of your post above seems to be just ill informed apocalyptic rantings with no basis in actual reality.

No - not according to available data. This is where you might want to take a moment to ponder what possible reasons you could have advocating genocide for no apparent reason.
This is only going to get worse.

I live in Örebro. Let me know where that warmth is supposed to have been - because this has been a very very cold summer so far.
Hi,
Northern Europe here. We've not seen summer yet this year. It's just cold and wet.

I'm a 38 year old Swede. I've never written a check. I vaguely remember my parents did when I was really young.
7 years you say?

Well, to be fair, since his own research gets rejected in peer review I think he should keep being skeptical ;)
I think the point of the paper is that using new information, Leroy 2010, the way adjustments should be made becomes different. You referencing algorithms that do not reflect the conclusions from Leroy does not in any way disprove that.
Why are you so hostile towards science?
The real story was that we had a big non-believer on AGW had a change of heart when he did the research himself and came to the same conclusion as IPCC.
That part has me confused. He's never been a non-believer in AGW.
