Came here to post this. Some quick searching reveals that the dark matter flux on Earth is also predicted to vary seasonally, with a peak in (northern) summer.
I think it's interesting how Obama has attempted to follow FDR's efforts but with much less legislative success. Due to the uncertainty, the bad law, and just the nasty anti-business attitude coming from the White House, businesses have been putting off investment and hiring for quite some time. But I imagine that will improve greatly in 2013, if Obama should be voted out.
Ridiculous! Businesses are putting off hiring because there is no demand. If these businesses had demand they'd be hiring, uncertainty, law, and the White House's attitude be damned. Your assertion to the contrary is clearly politically motivated.
I uninstalled Facebook from my phone partly because it just would not stop begging me to let it see my contacts. Every update came back with an ad for how awesome syncing with Facebook was.
Maybe I should go on FB and post another status complaining about Facebook.
This sounds great, but it's not such a good idea that people will just up and do this spontaneously. Black glass isn't worth any money, sadly.
I really think we are going to have to nickel and dime our way out of global warming. Reforestation AND fuels from atmospheric CO2 AND methane sequestration AND plastic from CO2 and anything else we can think of that reverses the atmospheric changes and might make someone somewhere a buck.
Stuxnet was an attack on industrial control systems used in Iranian nuclear power plants.
Are you implying that US nuclear power plants are not considered key infrastructure? And that a cyberattack bringing down that infrastructure would not be considered an act of war?
Stuxnet was an attack on the centrifuges. Iran has no nuclear power plants to harm, in fact we have OFFERED them nuclear power plants.
A lie, and then a straw man argument. You're not arguing honestly.
So if the United States sabotages Iranian efforts to develop nuclear power, and they have an energy shortfall which results in 100 preventable deaths of Iranian civilians who were on life support, this is just as bad as if the Iranian cyber-warfare division deliberately cut the power to a US hospital and 100 American civilians on life support died?
We and other countries have bent over backwards to offer Iran access to nuclear energy. If that's all they wanted they could have had it a decade ago, for cheap. No, they wanted to enrich uranium to make a nuclear weapon. When we blew up those centrifuges, we did it using computers AND NOBODY GOT BOMBED.
And before you get your jimmies rustled about those poor people in that energy starved hospital, may I remind you that Iran is one of the world's biggest oil producers. I think it might just be barely possible they could make up this imaginary shortfall with some of that oil.
The lysis of two pounds of tissue is definitely a cause of negative side effects, but consider that the cancer in question (leukemia) is a cancer of the immune system, specifically cancerous B cells. The treatment does not distinguish between healthy and cancerous B cells, so you just never have B cells ever again.
I remember, and I'll bet the record executives remember, a certain MacWorld keynote. If memory serves, an nVidia exec spilled the beans about the new Power Macs the night before the speech. When Steve got on the stage, those new Macs had ATI cards in them.
It might not be a bluff, if they decide to kick one or more labels out of the iTunes store.
The MSNBC cite shows a video of MSNBC. Ignore the blog, ignore the comments and let the video speak for itself. The GGP seemed to not believe that the WH was a "war" with Fox News and asked for Non-Fox sources. The Guardian link also shows this and it is certainly NOT a Republican, conservative or Fox News site, as you clearly pointed out.
I didn't comment on the Guardian at all. I noted that the article said the opposite of what you claimed. I didn't even load the video on that Freedom Whatever blog, thank you Flashblock, because I'm already familiar with the arguments.
So, first you try to rebut by saying that my first source does not agree with Fox News, which is not what I was trying to show, and then you complain that my second link is conservative and it agrees with Fox News. The point was to show WH attacks towards Fox News, which both sites did. For more, please use Google. Search terms, "Anita Dunn" "Fox News", with quotes.
BTW, challenging the WH and reporting on the stuff they do does not make you "an arm of the Republican party". It makes you a news organization.
What Fox "News" broadcasts is not a "challenge" to the White House. It's made-up accusations, like this Anita Dunn nonsense, like the fuss about ACORN, like the association between the President and Bill Ayers, that make it an arm of the Republican party. These stories are simply specious, having no purpose beyond allowing the talking heads to call President Obama a socialist over and over on national TV.
Give me a break. The Guardian article you quoted leads with
"Fox News is clearly an arm of the Republican party. Obama is right to throw caution to the wind and treat it as such."
The MSNBC cite isn't even from NBC, it's a wingnut blog!
The first graph is prefaced by "...Here, for instance, is what I get if I run the numbers for all Senate and Presidential polls -- more than 3,000 (!) of them -- in my 2008 database:"
Nate might have been more explicit about the difference in datasets, but I think this indicates that he analyzed similar data from other pollsters.
I've gotten very comfortable with the total lack of malware affecting my Mac, but I am not under the illusion that this will last for ever (in fact, I recall cleaning out a WDEF infection out of System 6 many moons ago). For this reason, I run Firefox with Noscript and Adblock; and my user account is not admin enabled.
Neither of these really cripples the system's usability; blocked content is only ever a few clicks away, and I find I don't miss wasting all the bandwidth. My account privileges chiefly mean that I don't have write access to/Applications, but since 10.4 or thereabouts I am prompted to enter the admin user/pass.
Secure computing and browsing is possible on a Mac, even given Apple's lackadaisical approach to updates, thanks to free software like NoScript. If anything, this is the message here.
Well stated...but the OP does not seem to have, as the phrase goes, affirmed any consequent. It's just asserting that a government report, coming to approximately this conclusion, was inevitable.

Same here. I was really looking forward to that app too.
This was my question. At least if it does, we'll know farther in advance!
This is a very cogent reply.

Then you haven't seen how it is up north in Octoberish - flu incidence rises sharply.
I don't think statutory damages are supposed to be punitive. Punitive damages are something extra that you sue for, in addition to being made whole.
Right. The contention here is that the statutory damages in question, $750 per song, are so large as to be punitive.

Arrrgh, I just spent my last mod point. What you say is quite true.
It may or may not be a monopoly, but the iPod is certainly not anticompetitive.
You'd think that would be its own punishment.
Skype, etc are not permitted over the cell network per the SDK, but there are no restrictions on what you can do over Wifi.
