That is the correct tack. I understand "believe a climate scientist" as shorthand for what you're proposing, as opposed to the crap being shoveled out by oil companies and the like.
Crap. Why did Cuccinelli decided to undertake a fishing expedition against someone in that particular field, then, one that's known for being highly politically charged?
He has no interest in the truth of the thing; he's interested in intimidating climate scientists into falling into the Republican line, i.e. that AGW is a myth.
No I can't, because you're deliberately framing it to make the scientist look bad.
Nice attempt at using false-equivalence to try to hide the fact that you're an AGW denialist, by the way, but your use of standard denialist talking points (cost, where's the raw data that I'm not equipped to understand, misconstruing what skepticism is) puts the lie to it.
I suspect the U is fighting the FOIA request because it's a fishing expedition and they know it. Cuccinelli doesn't have any evidence of wrongdoing or he'd have presented it by now and used it as probable cause to continue the investigation, so he's using FOIA in an attempt to grab up everything.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. The takeaway is that using FATA in this case is the wrong tool entirely. There's still an ongoing suit using the Freedom of Information Act, which was the correct tool to use in this case... if one can use "correct" to reference this fishing expedition.
But please, don't let the facts interrupt your Internet Libertarian rant.
Debian is also brain-damaged enough to not do a graphical-sudo when you need admin privs for something and instead wants the root password.
That's easy to take care of if you're mostly in text-mode (just install sudo and run visudo to adjust permissions) but it doesn't seem so easy to change when you're running Gnome or KDE.
Debian is nice (it's what I cut my teeth on & what I used near-exclusively from early '99 until late '05) but I don't recommend it for desktop use unless you're willing to get dirty.
...and Montana's population is spread out because of the automobile. If not not for the auto much of Montana would be unpopulated aside from ranches and the like, and more of the people would live in the cities.
The issue, idiot, is that apparently the Hungarian government is doing things to make it harder to get themselves voted out and a different government voted in.
OH NOES TYRANNY. Aaaand we've got another Internet Libertarian, folks. Don't try to reason with him; his mind's made up that anything the government does is EVIL.
A few years ago the Air Force did a study on converting B-52s to four modern airliner engines. ISTR the cost would have been ~$8billion, and it was decided that this wouldn't have been economically worth it - over the expected lifetime of the B-52 fleet they wouldn't have saved that much in fuel, so the idea was shelved.

So therefore you claim to weight the word of an actual climatologist the same as any old person who could be interested in hoodwinking you?
That's denialist talk.

It's a joke from a certain Usenet newsgroup.

I doubt your word that you're a scientist.
1) Who are you, and what are your qualifications, published papers, credentials, etc.? A scientist should be proud of his work and reputation.
2) Which field are you a scientist in? If you're not a climatologist, you're not qualified.

Mint has indeed released a KDE install DVD. I'm downloading this right now to try in a VM.
The unmentioned part of that is "and isn't over a year obsolete".

More like "welcome to Internet Libertarianism, where every move by the government is fascism and other scare words".

Only because everything built in the US for the last century was done with the automobile and its mobility in mind.
Why, are you ashamed of what you posted? Is it somewhat less than the whole truth?
I don't seem able to turn on the Observatory in Chrome OS.
Here you go, sweet cheeks:

...and this explains Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, yes?
Don't let reality get in the way of his narrative that conservatives are victims.
Not to mention the breathless sensationalism that has a better place on low-class sites like the National Inquirer or Fox News.
Seriously, "shock and disgust" over what is probably a good technical decision? Slashdot has found another new low.
That's an interesting etymology. Cite?
