There is a scientific consensus on the topic, so one could see why it may appear like a 'pushed' agenda. Scientists are not easily swayed by adverts on TV, radio, disagreeable slashdotters, etc.. They come to conclusions by looking at data (try it, there's a fuck ton on climate science), examining their methods, examining the conclusions drawn from the data sets, verifying that other experiments of a similar nature present data that agrees or disagrees.
And you know what? They keep looking for more data. They may even set up their own experiments. They are smart mother fuckers that love to know how the world works, their effect on it, and their place in it. They also enjoy finding out new things. So if they run a test and the results disagree with the current body of data, they present it all over the place, and they have their methods examined, their testing redone, and they are either shown to be right or wrong.... eventually. Hell, if they are right about something major, we give them a million bucks and a medal!
Currently, there is a 97% consensus among climate scientists that not only is the climate changing dramatically, but humans are the likely cause via the burning of fossil fuels. -h4x0t
When you start your research, it would be prudent to start at NOAA before BP, as sometimes conflicts of interest exist -- even in science. Something something money.
Even were someone a certified expert, they probably haven't worked on the project, and even if they had, they probably don't know the whole of it (budgets, constraints, etc) and even if they did, they probably wouldn't be sitting on slashdot second guessing multi-billion euro projects. Think.
You don't know what you are doing, genius. Stick to your field of expertise, which is apparently automated censorship. Also, your editor forgot to correct two instances of the world "girl" from your article. That's generally an offensive term for any adult female, regardless of skin tone.
Hardware manufacturers are clearly to blame for enabling this man to commit crimes. Transmission line owners are at fault for supplying him with power to commit crimes. ISPs gave him direct access to the internet, allowing him to perform these acts. I say lock them all up.
Does anyone have a transcript, or is it posted somewhere, of the speech the chairman is giving (gave) after the meeting? He makes it sound as though the internet is more "open", now, free from the "rules" of net neutrality imposed on it. It's absolutely riot inducing.
Bennett,
I know life can seem like an endless rat race sometimes. It is difficult to refute that logic to a rational mind, but we are not simply rational minds. We love and lose and fix endless bugs, and we shouldn't just give up.
You should consider seeking help. I know... it will be from some git psych major, but it's possible they will put your mind at ease.
This just in! Economist reports that kill switches on cars that allow for remote disabling, rendering the car worthless, would save consumers millions, mostly in insurance premiums. (Just give us more power already! -govt.[largecorp, inc])
If EPA regulation meetings are anything like ASTM or ISO meetings, then there is honestly very little room for the purported chicanery. It takes YEARS to get anything to move, and there are interlab studies done on everything along the way. IMO this bill is designed to leave room for additional regulation stalling.
At what point does a remote-control helicopter become a 'drone'? Also, Beta doesn't provide sufficient functional improvement to necessitate its continuation, or indeed, its conception
Please detail what you think you are changing other than UI. We're technical people and we don't like change for the sake of change, or, even worse, aesthetics only.
For the record, I also do not like the beta. It looks like tumblr or some such nonsense. Get rid of the social media nonsense at the top too. No one shares directly to a story on an aggregation site, the share to the actual story. The only thing I ever share on slashdot are the (occasionally) brilliant comments.
Why would they orient the screen so the student has to look down at it? That would cause some serious neck pain. It's not a 2 kilo text book, it's a wall. Orient it with some ergonomics in mind. If anything, the enemy's gate is down.

I purchased a lifetime subscription to this game in 2005/6 when it came out.
I left when the great BALROG slayer (not to mention Watcher slayer, Undead Dragon slayer, etc.) was asked to pick up sticks in the first zone of the second expansion.

True. You get to run the next one. No more of this intolerable nonsense. 100% perfect every time from here on out. Hurray for hoan.

The unethical bit is that they will likely fuck it up a few times and make abominations that are in constant pain until they put them down.
Have you never read science fiction?

Do you have the influence enough to get the laugh track removed. It, among other things, makes the show unwatchable to me.
Way more concerned about construction zones.

26 year old here. No facebook for 3 years.
Though, I'll admit that I am not the average consumer.
Is this news? This has and always will happen until it is made an illegal practice.

Did DICE recently invest in 3D printing stock or what?
Except mine was a pk-12. Call it "The Institute" and charge 1% of future income (over a given threshold).

Pretty sure all who answered d) would fall under 'neutral'.

The guy's only rival is the pope for most influential person of the year, period.

Mod parent up.

I'm glad I left when I did.
Next announcement on friday... 09/27/2013.
Nine-Twenty-Seven
All divisible by three
Half-Life Three confirmed
Haiku confirmed. 2013 is divisible by 3 as well... but I couldn't fit it in verse.
