What "real facts" are those? There has not been a single climate model put out by anyone ever that has predicted Earth's climate with any degree of accuracy for any decent amount of time. There has been no experimentation against a nullable hypothesis.
I do know what bogey man means, and I used it correctly.
"Because coal is cheaper in the short term, not accounting for externalities" 10 is more than 20, if you ignore 15 out of the 20.
Climate change isn't an important externality, it's bullshit. And that fact is becoming increasingly clear to the public.
How about we just use nuclear power for most cases because it's more efficient, safer, etc.? How about we just use electric cars for most cases because they're simpler, more efficient, etc.? How about we just stop using coal because it's fucking terrible all around?
Why do we need a climate change bullshit bogey man to get politicians to stop blocking natural progress?
This. Fuck the device, the browser should behave properly. If it doesn't, too fucking bad. I am so fucking sick of the Android browser deciding I should or should not be able to zoom on certain pages, deciding to reflow content based on my orientation, etc. And i absolutely fucking hate sites that do not respect my preference of seeing the real site instead of the shitty mobile version.
Google would give them the finger and just continue rolling out Google Fiber. If people can't get their YouTube through Comcast, then Comcast is going to lose a lot of customers.
Google has no interest in rolling out fiber across the country, or even in just the major cities. They don't have the money or the political influence to become a major telco. They simply want more people to use more of their bandwidth-intensive services, and they're using their small fiber operations and this "report card" shit to pressure telcos into upgrading their networks and reducing their costs (both to the end user and to Google).
It never ceases to amaze me how Progressives can so blithely condemn BIG corporations and their answer to solving the "BIG Corporation" problem is always to give more power to the largest, most powerful organization on the planet. Because large size causes corruption in companies, but it must only cause nobility in governments, right?
You seem to completely ignore that governments are elected and therefore accountable to the people.

Everything that has eyes, and many things that don't, convey information with the light that bounces off of it. So, The Universe.
No bounds checking? In a security module of Android? Duh! What sort of idiots do they have coding this thing?
Agile idiots. It passed the test suite written by other agilistas, so no QA needs to be performed. Just ship it. Put bounds checking into the backlog. If someone can come up with a good user story like "86% of all devices we've shipped are vulnerable" maybe we'll fix it in the next sprint.
It's not just agile. Anyone dumb enough to label how they do their job with some shitty buzzword is going to be dumb enough to blindly stick to that ill-defined structure, despite it having little to do with getting the job done.
No, as the series of court rulings have gone, the Fourth Amendment does not protect you from lawful search and seizure (such as a safe or hard drive). The combination to the safe, or encryption key to the drive, is not incriminating evidence and providing it to allow for lawful search and seizure does not violate your rights. They can admit evidence produced by oneself into court (such as two sets of books in one's own handwriting for a case of fraud) and that is not a violation of the Fourth (or Fifth) - just so with information one puts on a hard drive. What they can not compel one to do is testify against oneself (which is the Fifth by the way) nor assume guilt because you do not take the stand (not that a prosecutor won't toe that line with the jury). So, if one can keep all details of a crime in one's head and manage to destroy all other evidence which could be subject to lawful search and seizure - then you've got a shot at being a criminal mastermind.
I'm not sure I entirely agree with the line of thought - but I can certainly follow the logic as well as the precedence.
What would be interesting is if one's pass-code was material evidence with respect to the case - but a possible way around that would be limited immunity or ruling it as inadmissible evidence...It would make for an interesting case study.
Horse shit.
100 years from now Google Glass will be able to scan your brain and display your old memories for digital sharing, archival, and, of course, ad targeting. Lawful search and seizure includes asking about your whereabout, whether you killed someone, etc., so using your logic, scanning your brain to find out where you were and what you were doing is just fine and dandy.
They already can open your TrueCrypt volumes - hence why the dev shut it down and issued a warning that it's not safe to use.
Actually, the sum of the evidence says otherwise. The security audit has found nothing wrong with Truecrypt 4.1a, and in fact they plan to carry forward the TrueCrypt project when Phase II of the audit is completed.
If he NSA/FBI/CIA/ETC can lean on the developers of TrueCrypt to the point of them being unable to outright say their shit has been compromised, why do you trust the auditors? They are not immune to such pressure unless they're living off-world, and even then I bet they'd have family here that could be leveraged. Hell, for all you know the auditors aren't just potentially compromised, they could be direct NSA/FBI/CIA/ETC plants.
Diamonds are almost entirely carbon, where as this has a significant portion of oxygen in it, so this wouldn't actually form a diamond structure. This sort of headline bait is rather annoying.
A decent watch will last decades and have a battery that lasts several years.
No, they won't, although the batteries might last. Some people just seem to emit EM or some shit which kills watches, regardless of price or quality. It is absolutely true, although I can't explain the mechanism.
You're a fucking liar.
Yes, because you personally know everything about an anonymous internet coward, you fucking dick.
Funny, I have seem to emit ATW or some shit which keeps tigers away. Decades on this planet and not a single tiger encounter. It's absolutely true, although I can't explain the mechanism.
On cheap watches, the cost of replacing the battery is equal to the value of the cheap watch. So much so, that it is getting really hard to find batteries for watches in stock (at least the last time I looked). I don't buy watches as they are simply for tools trying to impress people with "money".
"Look at my Rolex, such a fine time piece" , Uh no thanks, my less expensive cell phone keeps perfect time, changes time zones automatically for me and does more that your stupid Rolex, which is just a fancy clock bracelet.
Batteries can be had on the cheap at this great new site called amazon.com . They've got tons in stock. Simply pop open the back, put your new batter in, and you're good to go. If you have a fancy watch that requires a special tool to open, you can substitute a pair of needle nose pliers (with masking tape at the ends to prevent scratching), take it to a store like Macy's or or JC Penny's and get it done for free, or buy the fucking tool for a few bucks on this great new site called amazon.com .
Unless your watch is worth $5 or less, then your statement is bullshit.
If you're not reading at -1, you're missing out. When I see something modden -1, I know it's going to be, funny, insightful, or painfully (to the blind liberal retards) true.
Since this is addressed to non-watch wearers too (last sentence).... ok, I'll answer. If you want me to wear a watch, it needs to have: 1) extreme reliability - it will last at LEAST 5 years, which I have never seen in any watch, cheap or expensive. 2) Battery will last 3+ years, or it will require no battery. 3) It doesn't have a shitty leather strap or shiny shit that will make it get stolen or some shitty material 4) It costs less than $40.
I have never seen a DUMB watch which satisfies these, and I suspect that any smart watch would fail miserably at ALL of them. All I want is something which won't fall apart will tell me the fucking time when I'm hiking in the woods for a week and my cell phone dies. ALL watches have failed me so far.
A decent watch will last decades and have a battery that lasts several years. There are countless styles and options for the face and band, even in the $40 and under range. You're a fucking liar.
Justice Stephen Breyer, writing for the majority, stressed that it was a limited decision that will not “discourage the emergence or use of different kinds of technologies.”
...and he's certain of that - how?
Because other kinds of technologies will be backed by corporations that know to hand off hookers, blow, and cold hard cash before going to court.
The mathematics to arise from accepted Higgs field theory suggests the universe is currently sitting comfortably in a Higgs field energy 'valley.' To get out of this valley and up the adjacent 'hill,' huge quantities of energy would need to be unleashed inside the field.
I have no idea what the 'valley' represents, nor the 'hill' so this explanation tells me nothing.
That's okay. The people talking about it don't have a clue either.
No... that needs to be reserved for the Star Trek museum. Where was San Francisco in Star Wars? Nowhere... but the center of the Star Trek Universe is... you got it... Star Fleet Academy in San Francisco.
The center of the Star Trek Universe is fat, sweaty virgins.
That is only true if the faster then light particle carries information. The way I heard it (and I don't remember where and whether it was much more then speculation) was that photons average the speed of light so they might go a bit faster, then a bit slower then c. There is also phenomena such as quantum entanglement that clearly show the speed of light being broken or bypassed with no information being transmitted faster then light. There are other quantum effects that also seem like they may be instant, unluckily it is really hard to measure speed at trillionths of an inch.
If the particle exists, then it carries information. A particle can't exist without interacting with the Universe in some way, and those interactions require information.

Why buy her a diamond?
There are only 2 reasons to buy diamonds - to cut hard stuff and to make a crazy laser weapon.
Diamonds are almost entirely carbon, where as this has a significant portion of oxygen in it, so this wouldn't actually form a diamond structure. This sort of headline bait is rather annoying.
So... diamondillium or diamondium?
It's like trusting a proctologist to give you brain surgery :)
It's a well-known fact that when a liberal needs brain surgery he goes to a proctologist. I'm sure the same would apply to most slashdotters.
