Personally, I'm opposed to nuclear power and would like to see everything powered by magic (which is non-polluting and 100% sustainable).
We need to get our hands on that blue stuff from the Captain America movie. You just run it through a doohickey and it makes more of itself. Then I'll be anti-nuclear too.
So advancement in meteorology is required for you to believe anything in climatology?
That's like saying you won't believe anything from the field of advanced physics until we have cars running efficiency near the thermodynamic limit. Or, until we can predict weather with 90% accuracy, that's physics too right?
Understanding that mankind's massive release of fossil CO2 into the atmosphere has contributed to global warming is hardly a "particular" and not something that needs fine analysis of the available data to see.
Also I don't know where this "wreck the global economy" crap came from, nobody wants that, and current carbon credit schemes are indeed a scam (or at least full of so many loopholes they're useless). Nobody's asking you to throw out your BBQ.
Nobody rational denies climate change. Many rational people deny human caused climate change. If there were empirical evidence for blaming humans, we'd have a debate.
LMAO! Good thing I wasn't drinking when I read that!
Global warming "skepticism" is just denialism with a stolen intellectual bumper sticker on its ass. If you were actually skeptical you'd try to answer your own questions and wouldn't remain skeptical for long.
That gave me an image of a conservative parent reading such a story to their child at bedtime. "...and Al Gore and his evil scientist minions were defeated by Jesus and Ghost Reagan, and the Goode family drove their Chevy Kodiak back home to Happy Coal Valley. The End. ^_^ "
The flaw may be with iTunes but the spying is done by trojan spyware that passes itself as Flash player. The title of this thing is obviously anti-Apple bashing at its finest.
There you have it folks, if any malware exploits a vulnerability in Apple software it's not Apple's fault, it's the virus writer's fault. To say otherwise would be Apple-bashing.
Now excuse me while I make the infallible decision to leave every door on my house swinging open while I'm not at home. If any hobos or thieves enter it is not my fault, I made no mistakes.
Maybe the FCC can run training seminars for the SEC...
"Good morning everyone, today is the first day of our series of training semina...guys please stop masturbating. Please? This is gross. No? Alright well I'll wait for you to finish but then it's onto business."
It's really too bad carriers got tied to phones somehow in the US. In most other countries the choices are no more tied together than your choice of car and choice of gas station.
Every time Microsoft tries to buy Yahoo and then changes it's mind, Yahoo's stock value plunges. Do this enough times and eventually they can pick up Yahoo for pocket change.
Especially with so many politicians owning private prisons these days...they could build robot-managed "megaprisons" and have us all manning the call centers there.
Unless PTZ stands for Perambulate, Trundle and Zip-along, or unless you're setting up a true circular Panopticon, there will still be places it can't see. Which is anywhere that there is a non-transparent solid object between the camera and the outer building wall.

We can't wait for all this laws & courts bullshit, grab the terr'ist and throw him in Gitmo, and torture him to find out who he's working for!

Or the lakes of toxic coal sludge stored near coal plants, often in above-ground containers that can rupture and cause toxic coal sludge tsunamis.
+1.5 for nuke over coal (I get another 0.5 for Lived Near Nuke Plant bonus)

Once ocean acidification becomes a problem, the climate will be the least of our worries...

5.5% of world electricity production was from oil in 2008:

I know that a lot of small countries run their grids entirely on diesel turbines.

I wonder if it's been fixed in LibreOffice?
It relies on the user to install the malware, but the malware link wouldn't appear at all if iTunes used an HTTPS connection to check for updates

They call it "responsible" disclosure.
Erections lasting over 4 hours are not healthy.

Mainstream news sources have been complaining that the Kindle Fire, a device with a dual-core CPU, is too slow. So it is a big deal.

Keep that in mind when you're getting shanked in prison after being thrown in for being caught with weed/downloading an MP3/taking a picture of a cop.

Aural? In the ear? Like that Family Guy scene with Meg and her boyfriend?
