Science deals with evidence, not proof. And there's a huge amount of evidence that the warming is caused by humans. Once again you are just spewing denialist talking points.
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooolyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Science deals with experimentation and repeatable results.
Exactly zero accurate global climate models covering any useful span of time exist.
Find ore sample. Blast with laser. Analyze what happens. Determine ore sample has other elements in proportions similar to ore samples taken from a certain location.
Any of the following will fool this method:
Perform a rudimentary refining pass on your ore samples to remove enough of said trace elements to fudge the signature. Contaminate your ore slightly so its trace elements resemble those of ore samples from another region. Not allow inspectors in to analyze soil and ore samples from your milita-run slave mine - this prevents them from generating a useful signature to compare against. Do nothing: Men will buy women shiny rocks regardless of how they are dug out of the ground.
I suspect this page will be filled with tons of "lol everyone will leave" comments. I left Hulu ages ago. The ads (and long pauses when I blocked them) became more obnoxious and numerous, the library of free content was shit or untimely (or both), and the premium content? Why would I pay for shit I already pay for on cable/Netflix (when I had it)/Amazon Prime?
I haven't touched Hulu in ages and I bet they're counting me as one of the 30 million users.
I watch enough shit (and want it now and in good quality) to justify a cable subscription (with HBO and some other craps). I order enough shit from Amazon to justify Prime (which comes with a shitty video service). I cut Netflix off long ago.
Why would I pay for Hulu or put up with tons of ads alongside a shitty library, shitty quality, and release delays? The only way I would pay for Hulu is if I cut off my cable service. I see this as a viable option for many who don't have the same concerns/impatience as me. But if they want to require them to stump up a cable subscription on top of the cost of Hulu Plus / the annoyances of Hulu, they've got a big surprise coming.
Of course, they've done the math and figured out that X% will leave and (1-X)% will stay. But I think some PHBs have been conned into believing a bullshit statistic of 30 million users. I couldn't name 2 people I know who use Hulu if you put a gun to my head.
.qt,.mov Quicktime movies. It's a codec, your post is like saying "WMV isn't a codec, Windows Media Player can play any codec you have a plugin for." The software and the codec have a similar name. Back when Apple was viciously proprietary about the spread of their QT codec, it would only play in the stupid Quicktime Malware plugins.
No, dipshit. Quicktime is a container. The codec is an implementation of MPEG 4 (a shitty one at that). Past codecs included MPEG 2, MPEG, and a ton of other old crap no one uses.
Here's the thing: No one's saying small children should be excluded from screening.
Wrong. We should all be excluded from this screening.
Metal detectors and dogs are all you need. You also need to keep masses of people from being confined in a small space because then they're just a target. But speeding up the security process (by using just metal detectors and dogs) is the best way to do that.
You don't even need locked cockpit doors. No plane in America will ever be hijacked in 9/11 style again. Passengers won't allow it.
Math is freaking math. There is right and wrong, black and white.
Not at all. Math is a set of ways of mapping some of the real world into a world of artificial symbols and concepts. The symbols and mappings are, like any science, open to review anytime - "The map is not the territory".
You're absofuckinglutely wrong. Math is absolute. It happens to be a useful tool to use when analyzing the Universe around us.
I'll third that. I was appalled with the editors attitude to paswords.
1. He uses all lower case letters [FAIL - you know the rules you work at PCP]
FAIL on hotmail instead. So what if a password is only lowercase? So what? There are still lots of combinations, and the service simply should not let anyone try thousands of login attempts per second. That is what rate-limiting is for. More than a couple of failed attempts? Lock the account a few minutes. No hassle for ordinary users, wrecks every brute-forcing attempt. Also rate-limit the number of attempts from a single IP address - no matter which accounts. That stops those who try the same password on millions of accounts in search of the easy ones.
With six lowercase letters and only one attempt per minute, you need 300 years on average to guess a password. Of course you can demand more than 6 characters and allow more than lowercase. And increase the rate limit for accounts that actually get one login attempt per minute...
There is zero indication that the password was compromised by someone brute forcing or hacking Hotmail. In all likelihood, he used the same shitty password everywhere and got fucked because:
A machine he used was infected with malware. Another site he used was malicious. Another site he used was attacked.
Actually the odds are better that you kid will be killed by a car (77 to 1), drowning in a bathtub ( 685,000 to 1 ) slipping and killing himself/herself in the shower (2,232 to 1) even being struck by lightning (576,000 to 1 ) hell they even have better odds of dating a supermodel (88,000 to 1) or striking it rich on antiques roadshow ( 60,000 to 1). Here is the source so I'd say out of ALL the things we parents ACTUALLY have to worry about BSE is pretty damned low on the list. Not saying that can't change, not saying we shouldn't do our best to protect the food supply, just saying panicking is probably pretty unwarranted ATM.
Except you can't feed animal products to livestock in the US or Europe.
They absolutely can and do feed ground up, diseased livestock back to the same type of livestock. Did you mean that there are laws against it in certain instances?
Yes, but devices as important as medical hardware should be ROM only operation with the ability to be flashed for updates only by vetted, qualified licensed personnel.
The problem with that is every time you want to update the device you have to physically get to it. Taking updates wirelessly makes things much easier and safer.
As far as (EEP)ROM-only, that's good for the code, but many devices log data (and dump it out wirelessly). You have to protect against attacks that try to make the device do bad things as well as attacks designed to get or overwrite that data.
I've always wondered what exactly it is that causes solar panels to "wear out". Is it exposure to sunlight and/or weather? Degradation of interior components?
Yeah those of us who care about security have been using NoScript for years but this will push the ignorant masses into better security.
No, those of us who care about security, speed, and and hate ads and social crap have been using NoScript for years. And we set it up so that clicking the button triggers "Temporarily allow all this page". If a site doesn't work, we just click the button repeatedly until it does.
At one university I went to, students who were not ready for their midterms did the fire alarm pull. At a different university, it was anonymous bomb threats via payphone. Anyone got any other delaying tactics at institutions they attended?
Just tell the professor you need more time. 9 times out of 10 they'll give it to you. If they don't, go to the Registrar's office and fill out the "I'm sad / I have ADD / I got pragnant / I'm too stressed / Woe is me" form. There's a form for everything, and it gets you endless amounts of stupid rights - retake tests, make up projects, get a free tutor, free shrink session, whatever. Today, a distressed student is both coddled and feared.
It helps to be civil, especially when attacking someone with greater knowledge.
No it doesn't, idiots like him (and you) will continue to be idiots, and think that they're right, despite being completely and totally wrong. The comment isn't for him, it's for others who may see his post.
It is fundamentally impossible to transmit information faster than the speed of light. Using extra dimensions doesn't help. If you want to compress space you'll have to do so at a rate faster than the speed of light across a path that is longer than the initial distance and that traverses the initial dimension(s) of the two points as as well as one or more higher-order dimensions.
And how many of those aren't taking money from the coal, oil or other industries whose very livelihood depends on them downplaying the evidence?
How many AGW proponents don't stand to profit heavily off of "green" jobs bills, carbon credits, cap and trade, etc.?
I doubt very much that any climate scientist is likely to profit heavily from "jobs bills, carbon credits, cap and trade, etc." Local politicians, business people, lobbyists, etc. might be able to benefit from some of these things - but working scientists? Tenured academics already have pretty secure lifetime employment. Perhaps we could imagine a few who might be better off individually if the science was one way rather than the other, but the majority of them have little financial stake in the result of the scientific studies one way or another.
There are three things tenured academics always want: Salary increases Attention Grant money

Just hook the video tag to the media framework in the host OS
Browsers have been able to do that for years and years and it still doesn't work properly.

Evolution is specialization over time among organisms, brought about by selection against traits that arise from genetic mutation.

In short: It's fucking stupid and impossible.
If you're allowed to use more than 2 dimensions, fold the plane over on itself so that points A and B touch. Now the distance is zero.
Okay then, have fun folding space at a rate faster than the speed of light.
Almost none of the researchers themselves would profit from such things.
Without desirable results, no one pays them to do research.
