This is true, I was amased at how much crap ghostery caught. At first I thought that a common news website would have ads from two or tree domains and a couple of analytics scripts from third parties, it filters around 50 different stuff from third parties, the chance of any single one of them being compromised is pretty big...

There is a LOT of oil money from the Gulf trying to put a lid on Fracking.
I dunno if that's true across the board. Fracking releases natural gas, which can captured and sold. I've read one mention (perhaps it was an opinion piece?) that the 'oil companies' are hopeful for the Trans Pacific Partnership to create new export markets for natural gas, but the timing needs to happen rather fast before would-be importers get their domestic capabilities going.
There was some television "news" saying the protections of debit and credits cards today were the same as far as zero liability in the case of fraud goes, but it may take longer to remedy if it was a debit card. Personally, I have no reason to vouch for this as I've only used credit cards in my life.
Many of these journals require copyright assignment, at which point it's not your own work anymore. Just one more reason the traditional scientific publishing model needs to die a quick death.
The work (i.e., content) should still be the authors'. Technically, it's the format of the content that the journal owns. Requiring camera-ready formatting from the authors is just added insult to an exploitive economic model.
The smallest, simplest forms of life are nevertheless far more complex than the most complex device ever constructed by people. It is a form of institutional hubris to suggest or believe that new life can be created by stitching together some DNA. The best we can manage at the present is to modify some tiny function of an existing life form in a hopefully beneficial direction. Anyone who thinks otherwise can volunteer to deal with the next influenza outbreak.
I seem to recall a "minimal genome" project that now seems as though it involved catenating a selection of genes sufficient for life. I'd have to search what came of it, but if you or anyone else could shed some light on it, I'd welcome it.
Certain companies, notably those dealing as real estate trusts or energy companies, already do not pay taxes on taxable income if they distribute almost all of it to shareholders within a designated 12-month period. In the case of mREITs, at least 90% has to be paid out, which is done so in the form of monthly or quarterly dividends.
Yes, but if triclosan is such a miracle product, why aren't our bodies producing it naturally? Maybe because evolution showed there were some downsides?
Why aren't our bodies producing venom with which we can kill live prey to eat it? The gene(s) has to be there, and it has to be activated. Currently not having the gene doesn't necessarily mean we cannot acquire it.
I guess the only compressing of images that makes sense from a bandwidth point of view is lossy compression. Otherwise it's just sucking cycles and potentially draining your battery.
Opera Mini supposedly "compresses data", too, but I don't know how it compares.
A mobile phone with pixel grid of 480 x 320 is a 1.5:1 or 3:2 ratio. So desktop screens jumped right over mobile dimensions, it would seem. To me, 1.78:1 seems way too skinny when vertically the long way, and I find even 1.5:1 on the phone to be a bit narrow. I guess that puts me in the 1.33 or 1.00 camp.

But what if Goo-gle wants it thaa-at way?
I interpret this the same way. It doesn't say "recorded by us" or "recorded by us exclusively" but merely "may be recorded."
In fact the phrase "may be recorded" is open to interpretation and can mean both "we might record it" and "we give permission to record it."
Still, I wouldn't put it past some company to try the "you recorded us illegaly" tactic.
I take their "may be recorded" as telling me what the company consents to my doing.
At other times, companies are providing caveats, fineprints, and EULAs. Should phone calls be any different?
piezo effect? With magnetism, electricity can't be far behind. I wonder if that can't start underground coal fires.
Probably more like lightning preceeding earthquakes:

Not only that, but they're known to give display preference to negative reviews if the company in question doesn't pay membership fees.

It's like offering Slashdot as a compiled zip of all articles ever published.
With all of the obligatory redundancies.

It's not just an accent. My surname is Wu in mandarin, Ng in cantonese and pronounced Go or No in other dialects.
Or /eng/ if you follow a particular alternative rock band.

Ripple effects are pretty scary. Good thing trading can be halted to let problems subside.
to that of Toshi Station power converters? I think I could manager to pick up a few on my way home before dinner.

I believe we can still see insurance companies dictate the level of care per individual. I have to read more, though.

Alternatively, there's a small chance she'll impale you with your own replica ba'tleth. Women are rather creative creatures that way.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Why is that a downside?

I just googled for "order my own lipid panel"
RIAA: hey, we're making less money under our Jurassic distribution system; you must be stealing our property!
Insurance companies: give us money and we'll do our best to find ways not to cover you!
Political parties: give us money and we'll do our best to bicker back and forth under the guise of doing the people's business.
Oops...sorry...wrong plot device! Carry on!
