Opposing views maybe, but the facts are clear to sensible people. Why so many supposedly intelligent people deny the fact of climate change on here is a reflection on their arrogance. The usual nutty claims of a scientific conspiracy are as laughable as believing in chemtrails, same mental illness perhaps? Or some prefer nit picking the data to justify their confirmation bias.
Dont bother men, the so called sceptics are irrational, as becomes obvious by their silly clamis of scientists being corrupt. I never reply to them, why argue with irrelevant old blinkered right wing morons who wont accept evidence. We had one of these idiots on TV last night debating Brian Cox, the audience ended up just laughing at him, as Brain destroyed the usual denialist bullshit.
To my dispointment, a number of my live sound colleagues have blown up iphones by plugging in via mini jack to XLR, and forgetting to switch of phantom power. They should know better, luckily they play dumb and tell Apple it just stopped working, and get replacements.
Most of it did not end up with gambling and alcohol, and the economic stimulus helped us greatly to avoid a recession due to the GFC. Sorry to interrupt your blinkered right wing rant.
Oh the irony of the Hasbara shill. Ah, lets just forget the Israeli terrorism of Irgun and the Stern gang eh? The hypocray of thieves whining about the original owners fighting for their own land back is thick. The UN had no right to give away Palestinian lands to invading thieves.
Yeah, well, Forget that. I mean do you know how the universe began for a kick off?
ARTHUR: Well probably not
FORD: Alright imagine this: you get a large round bath made of ebony.
ARTHUR: Where from? Harrod’s was destroyed by the Vogons.
FORD: Well it doesn’t matter -
ARTHUR: So you keep saying!
FORD: No, No listen. Just imagine that you’ve got this ebony bath, right? And it’s conical.
ARTHUR: Conical? What kind of bath is -
FORD: No, no, shh, shhh, it’s, it’s, it’s conical okay? So what you do, you fill it with fine white sand right? Or sugar, or anything like that. And when it’s full, you pull the plug out and it all just twirls down out of the plug hole but the thing is
ARTHUR: Why?
FORD: No, the clever thing is that you film it happening. You get a movie camera from somewhere and actually film it. But then you thread the film in the projector backwards.
ARTHUR: Backwards?
FORD: Yeah, neat you see. So what happens is you sit and you watch it and then everything appears to swirl upwards, out of the plug hole and fill the bath amazing.
I still occasionally mix live sound. One night I was using my iphone to play background music outdoors when the SMS recieved tone sounded, thru a the large PA system. To my amusement, about a third of the crowd pulled out their phones to check.:)
"Can I just mention that your ideas to rename HR whilst amusing are unlikely to be take up by the university"
In light of the realisation that the term Human Resources is antithical to our diversity policies (which by the way were crafted by HR) I hereby suggest some alternatives:
* 'The department of paper, rules and dogma' * 'Directorate (in an equal opportunities non directive type of way of course) of Valued Employees' * 'The communist party' - I think party has a nice focus to it, different to directorate comrade * 'The group of really nice people trying to get other really nice people to comply with the rules and policies we design to make it look as if we are really useful department.' * 'Slowing things down and stopping untidy innovation team' * A bit radical this - 'Administration.' * 'Directorate of creative mavericks and ideas control' * 'The Empire' - why is the only part of the university that appears to be in full blown growth, 'Human Resources'?

Explain the delusions of ancient middle eastern goat herders, youre really desperate in your denial arent you.
Yawn silly old fart, the media simply acknowledges the reality that blinkered right wing denialists are so desperate to ignore.

None of which justifies his murder by police. Yet another example of unjustified shooting by US police.

They are a govt department not a business.
Thems the brakes.
Combine the populations of
France
UK
Australia
Germany
Japan
Switzerland
Sweden
Denmark
and you get roughly the same population as that of the USA.
All those countries combined average a yearly death by firearm total of 112.
The USA manages an average of 32,000.
You can spin statistics any way you want but it will take more than Donald Trump to turn those figures around and make them acceptable.
Yep, passed over Jodrell bank without a blip, which was a pity as it was exactly the sort of thing they had been looking for.

Im not sure about the uncertainty principle.
The mice tried that, but the Vogons blew the planet up. It was a a plot by phillosophers.
