If you do want to "own" this disaster and take responsibility then here is a challenge for you. Take this memo and every other smoking gun a decent investigation will reveal and seize BP and all its assets. Take the assets of ALL the top level execs and board, use that to pay for the clean up. Hold those same people criminally responsible for ALL of this and imprison them. Have BP continue to run and use all of its future profits and assets to fund some proper alternative fuel projects, or just pay off the national debt.
This is something the people would gladly see happen. It may restore some faith in us, letting us know the gov't is not completely corrupt and run by these bastards. And it would go a long way to prove you are not just a puppet who provides lip service on the news. It could show you actually give a damn.
So, are you willing to be the change you spoke about?
Blowing something up is always the best option. Detonating a large fuel reserve to stop it from leaking makes perfect sense to me. Absolutely nothing to worry about.
McDonald's tells everyone: "... we're sorry we made you obese..."
Steve Jobs said: "We didn't mean to only give the artist $.01 and keep $.70 for us on iTunes."
Haliburton mentioned: "Oil spills? We had no idea this could happen."
To trust a company with anything is just stupid. Lock up your doors (or WAPs) people and expect the worst from anyone, you won't be disappointed.
I'd love to take the colour markers from Eagle's DNA. They have 10 instead of the pitiful 2 for a human male. No doubt they can see deep into the non visual spectrum.
Cameron does not have the technical chops to design such a camera. He's promoting he's view of space exploration to NASA and wanting them to use gear he's financially backed.
Which now we must ask, why is a shlock film maker being allowed input into critical scientific exploration? Please NASA get off the fanboi wagon.
They dropped it out of fear they'd lose it, customers and £30million just like McDonald's did with their libel case. This is rather encouraging to see. Perhaps a few small voices can make a difference.
It's been the single most defining element to my life. Colorblindness shaped my world view from my early youth and has only served to reinforce that view.
I'm colorblind. Typically Red Green and I've known since right around my 6th birthday. My grandfather and older brother were as well and when I started getting things wrong I experimented to see if I was or not.
I'd pick crayons that had a basic title: Skyblue, Brick Red, Lemon Yellow and I'd find a selection of men and women (teachers, aunts, uncles), without the label, I'd ask them: What color is this crayon?
I found if I asked 10 separate people I got 10 answers. If I asked 10 people in a group I got about 4-6 answers and an argument amongst them. One Christmas gathering I did this and it ended up turning into a huge family argument. Granted they're a bit dysfunctional.
This taught me that we clearly live in our own shell of a world. Each of our perceptions are unique unto us. I find it a miracle that we've ever communicated or agreed on anything at all. Men already see 30% less of the spectrum than women, yet a colorblind man will insist (very often) that he's correct. I sincerely doubt that any two people have a 100% understanding or perception agreement on anything they experience together. If I were ever a juror and had to decide on a case that was based on eyewitness testimony I do not care how I felt, I'd dismiss it entirely. We are grossly flawed in thinking there is a universality to our understanding of our life. We live in bubbles only barely seeing into someone's bubble.
I'd love to see some data about company insiders and their stock purchasing/selling in relation to the "leaks". There are a few people making a shitload of $$$ off of the leaks. And if they are not then I'd be shocked. The last WSJ "leak" shot appl stock way up and my first thought was: someone is having a nice Christmas bonus.
While it may be innovative in the technology, I cannot imagine anyone wanting to keep this movie as something you'd want to go back to because it's such a great movie. You'd think if they were going to spend that kind of money on production they'd have at least gotten a script that took your breath away. But then again, it is Cameron and Jackson...
In my first job, as a teen, an older woman there told me that the "more book learning someone has, the less common sense they've got." Only on the rare anomalous occasion have I seen her proven wrong. I work at a Uni and I've seen people with 2 and 3 PHDs not be able to work a remote or walk away from their car with a door open and the keys still in it.
It is, IMHO, a rare genius who has both, common sense and intelligence.
Foolish man Obama looking to Oz and NZ when South Africa has it all wrapped up. No infrastructure, no data lines, hubs, switches or routers to support. They just use data pigeons! Not only are they cheap, they're as fast as broadband and they appease the tree huggers!

I'd feel safer with an earthquake than I would with being chipped and google tracking me.

No doubt, while charging an extra $1 per song, Apple will spin this as a much needed feature.

I'd do it for colourblindness.
"...if only you could see what I've seen with your eyes!"
Typo: He's promoting he's view of space...
Correction He's promoting HIS view of space...
my apologies.

He should call up HP and MS and ask for an endorsement deal.

I wish Murdoch would charge us £1 per time we want to hear him speak. We'd thankfully have the man silenced forever.
I bet that failblog, once posting Murdoch's photo, will have a higher hit count than the Times.

If you type "google" into google it'll break the internet.
...letting Pfizer admin the FDA... oh wait, their lobbyists already do.
These aren't the droids you're looking for, move along.

You are, officially, an asshole.

...that'll fix robot security real fast.
...for when the metal ones come for you, and they will.
While I admire his honesty, I must say that someone who is chock full of this much stupid should not be in any position of authority.
This is a prime example of why we need laws to weed out the ignorant.
Surely a study like this is not funded by the organic food industry?
