Does the Home Office / the government know of this post? Isn't there a danger they will try to close Imperial down to show how tough they are on drugs? Who is funding it anyway? Was the job advertised? (I could go on... )
This being slashdot, I should have put in links to the Easter Rising - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and should have said that it was a key step in the secession of the Irish Republic from the UK.
Think of Ireland and the Easter Rising in 1916. It did not have general Irish public support and was easily suppressed, at least in military terms. But the unnecessarily vengeful nature of the suppression increased Irish (and British) support for secession which came about only a few years later.
And a bit of information that is missing is how old were the fathers of the children with most mutations. As stated in the article, it is likely that 40 year old fathers contribute a disproportionate share of the mutations compared to 20 year olds.
Plastics don't have to get dissolved to have effects; they can absorb or discharge other substances. The discharge may well be affected by acidity. So it is a serious concern. See http://www.motherjones.com/pol...
Interesting article, though if the case for DDT is as overwhelming as it suggest, it suggests that environmentalists are much more better at propaganda than the major industry of chemical production. So, I checked two things quoted, about Ecuador reintroducing DDT and 2.5 million cases of malaria after Sri Lanka abandoned DDT. I found the first for Ecuador easily, it is a modest figure and seems to be sound. Not so for Sri Lanka, and other sources give a fraction of that figure, e.g. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09... . This does not leave me with confidence that it is not another anti environmental rant.
... i.e. banks not serving Americans, not to mention a whole lot of other weird consequences following from this measure such as a rise in the tax for US citizens renouncing their US citizenship.
Top managers who use spaces because they never understood tabs (because tab's are something that only typists use), they make more money than anyone else despite being quite unable to format a simple document.
.......... The fact is, there's enough carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere to make it opaque in the wavelengths that those gases absorb.........
You are quite right. Well done!!!
You have just told us in effect that the greenhouse effect caused by these gases is real. Though I suspect you didn't understand the science you just quoted. When you have worked out just what wavelengths these gases are transparent to and what wavelengths they are opaque to, and which direction the energy at these various wavelengths are going, and the consequences of this, and all the other boring actual science, please come back and explain to the other deniers in a bit more detail.
As usual, this will bring a collection of new problems for some. Will work fine for some people but others will struggle.
Fingerprints will not be much use for me; my prints were clear when I was younger, but they have faded. To the extent that at a border control earlier this year where fingerprint capture was mandatory, the immigration clerk had difficulty with my left hand and found it impossible with my right. He wrote a brief report which said that he could just see the patterns but could not capture them. I might have been lucky not to be refused admission, but it seems this situation was not new to them.
So the Turkish government has blocked access to the foreign websites run by Wikipedia, while the US government has at the same time blocked access of its own citizens to several of its own EPA websites, as in a story here only a few earlier. In both cases because they don't like the content. The response here on slashdot for the two events from the usual right wing trolls has been starkly and interestingly different - the US government censorship is proper and the right thing to do, the Turkish government's shows their inferiority.
And I have essentially lost my fingerprints (after a bout of dengue fever a few years ago, this causes skin shedding). Though now I can see just about see them on careful examination they hardly come out on fingerprint scanners. It caused some problems when visiting a country where they fingerprint you on arrival.
So in this case, that would be no one matching the first criterion, almost no one matching the second, a very few with a shelter that they could use. So everyone else goes back to sleep. The article did not say what the immediate response of the authorities was, did radio and TV stations promptly transmit a 'do not worry' message? What is the point of the emergency siren again?
What do you mean 'apparently' - yes, not only am I familiar, I'm old enough to remember when it was used. However Agent Orange was not an 'exterminate everything' chemical.
Some time ago I was thinking that the increased use drones could lead to the military killing all birds and larger flying animals from their target areas in case they were used by their enemies. Now it seems that there are reasons for all life to be made a target. An army might find that a literal scorched earth approach - exterminate everything, animal and plant, in the soil and above - is needed to get them victory. As with the use of nuclear bombs on cities, apologists will find ways of justifying this.
That is an explanation of 'pound sterling' which corresponds to what I said. However 'sterling silver' is not connected, being a precise alloy of silver and other metals that is harder than pure silver.

Possibly, but what has this to do with the mutation rate?

... trump a good utilitarian design in the eyes of marketers and business directors any day.
Or you could compare the number of times Iran has attacked another country with the number of times that the US has done the same thing.

Are you claiming to be Jesus Christ or claiming to quote something said by him? If the latter, please provide a source.
The quote is one translation of a line from the Bhagavad Gita by the way. Nothing to do with Islam, Jesus Christ, let alone the subject at hand.

When something like the WannaCry affects the finance systems, and there is no cash, how will people get the immediate basics like their groceries?

Companies should pay zero taxes. There's no point charging an entity that just goes around and charges it's customers to cover it's tax burden.
Then the shareholders of the company should pay tax on their profit instead. Where do Apple's shareholders pay tax?
Companies pay no tax and get no voting power. That's how it should be.
Companies may not vote but they have plenty of financial and other power, much of it unregulated, unlike that of the voter.
So long as the CIA isn't spying domestically, I personally don't care what means they use.
This slippery slope has only one end, but of course you don't think about it.
