  1. 1. The electorate rallies around the Conservative Party (essentially "UKIP Lite" at this point),

    UKIP were always a splinter party for the anti-EU portion of the Conservatives. Now UKIP no longer need to exist.

    Acromegaly is usually caused by a tumour in the pituitary gland.

    Vitamin D deficiency is pretty common and is usually caused by lack of exposure to UV B light. No one gets enough Vitamin D from their diet except by supplementation.

    Acromegaly causes diabetes

    So we are left with vegetarianism possibly being responsible for iron deficiency and too much weight. Both are easily solved by a well thought out vegetarian diet.

  11. Re:Cute on Web Petition For 2nd EU Referendum Draws Huge Interest (ap.org) · · Score: 4, Informative

    How cute, the democratic result didn't go our way so we'll make a new referendum with skewed option balance. This surely will make our way the only way!

    Well not really, the petition states:

    We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.

    The petition does not state how the new referendum should be phrased. What is most interesting is that this petition was started a month ago by an ex political student who supports Leave. This is not the only Leave supporter to suggest a second referendum if the vote was close. Of course now they have got the result they wanted, suddenly no more are needed. ;)

    The leave side suggested many things like taking back control of our borders, sovereignty and saving money but there is no plan and no definition of what leaving the EU means. When people realise that immigration will be about the same, that things cost more and the short term financial volatility harming the UK. They may feel that the Leave campaign "promises" were a bunch of wishful thinking

  16. Re:It's wildly unlikely we should exist on Are We Alone In the Universe? Not Likely, According To Math (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in.

    It is thought by many cosmologists that the Universe is infinite due to theories like inflation, it is not known whether it is or not.

    However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds..

    Incorrect, even assuming a tiny probability like only one in 10^20 worlds have intelligent like, that results in an infinite number of worlds. The likely reason for us not seeing any evidence is that intelligent life is rare, space between stars is large and there is a maximum speed limit c which takes a stupendous amount of energy to approach.

    An intelligent life form would I hope not be silly enough to create von-Neumann probes because evolution would likely mean that in cosmological time they would evolve to create a hegemonizing swarm which would be impractical to eradicate.

    In the Microsoft licensing scheme you have to pay both device CAL's and user CAL's. So for each device you buy a device CAL and per user you pay for a user CAL. Server's also have to pay per processor (which is a toss-up between physical processor, core and thread depending on product and vendor or a combination of them).

    I'm glad that Microsoft simplified their licensing at last.
