Yeah those climatologists are just rolling in cash, perks, stock options, and golden parachutes. You know, sometimes I feel downright sorry for Oil & Gas industry executives and the embarrassingly low pay they receive for all the dedicated, selfless work they do.
Translation for the irony-impaired: you want to play the follow-the-money game? Guess where it leads? Maybe not to you because you've somehow been convinced to act as an unpaid shill for an industry you don't even understand, but it certainly doesn't lead to a bunch of climate scientists either.
Which one? The free market religion or the church of global warming? Most of these debates seem to devolve into people from each camp hurling insults at each other.
Corporate masters? That implies all these internet trolls are being paid.
See this is the part I find most confusing about the amount of energy these denialists devote to the "cause" of keeping big oil fat and happy. Somehow, an army of deluded dupes has been created and they aren't being paid a nickel for their efforts. As we get closer and closer to the copenhagen conference, they get louder and louder and devote increasing amounts of unpaid time to internet boards, radio call in shows, letters columns, etc. It's mystifying.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Verizon uses the Japanese definition of obscene and sexually explicit, so very few kinds of porn are actually in violation of the AUP.
I think the/. admins should hand out 5 mod points to every user immediately, so we can go right ahead and mod every single post in this story offtopic.
I used to watch a lot more baseball than I do now. Of course, back then I lived in a different neighbourhood, and there was a totally awesome Thai place right around the corner that used to make these really good basil rolls.
Seen the same thing in Indonesia. It's partially what is considered the "norm" for people living there, but mostly the fact there is no organized municipal rubbish pickup - whether privately run or public - so people just dump trash anyplace that seems handy.

I think it's funny how the defence organizations are named in detail, while the vacuum-cleaner manufacturer must remain unnamed... presumably due to security concerns.
Whoa, just hold on one second there... I will tolerate a lot of things but i will not just stand idly by while you impugn the credibility and track record of Anonymous Coward.
this would encourage people to use the panic button for stupid reasons
Brittany left a really mean posting on my FaceBook wall. She keeps saying I still like Shakira when I told her, like, three weeks ago that I don't like Shakira anymore. So now Brittany keeps telling everyone at school I bought those purple sneakers to match something I saw on Shakira's video when I told her already I didn't even see that video until, like, yesterday.
This leaves me wondering exactly what the "gee whiz" factor is then. Part of what makes a personal jet pack neat is the fact it is self-contained transportation. Just strap on your cool superhero/supervillian pack and go fly places. The portability factor suffers more than a little bit if you also need to bring along an airplane... oh and an airport when it can take off... oh and a pilot to fly the thing and land... but aside from those 3 items we are ready to get into some mischief with this jet pack thing!
As a technology demonstrator this thing is undeniably cool... but more in a movie prop kind of way rather than a "when will these be available at Wal Mart?" way.
A friend of mine teaches at a primary school. She has noticed the kids from the "bad side" of town may have other problems but bizarre allergies aren't one of them. In contrast, the kids with nut allergies, pollen allergies, etc. are the ones from upper class neighborhoods with an obsessive focus on cleanliness - they get sent to school with little bottles of purell in their knapsacks.
how about blocking any posts with hrefs to coolforsale.com
Because on wednesday the hrefs will point to wickedcooldeals.com, and on thursday they will point to supersalecooldeals.com, and on friday they will point to awesomedealsforsale.com, and on saturday...

Ahh yes, thanks, I missed one activity in my list: deniers who devote increasing amounts of unpaid time moderating internet posts as offtopic.

Shit, and I was planning on subscribing to Verizon FIOS here in Pyongyang.
That AUP clause totally foils my plans

The folks in the marketing and accounting cubes. I'm sure most web admins would be delighted to ditch all the ads and associated hassles.

285 km/h = 178mph. Or 108km/h (=68mph) averaged over 380km while still taking time to circle in thermals in order to gain altitude.

Tow me to 6500ft in a high-performance glider and I will traverse the straits of Gibraltar easily ... without carrying rockets or motors of any kind.
