Please define "Consensus". GW is almost purely political and socially driven. This reminds me of the Super-Gravity vs String theory debate of the 80 and 90's. No one would work on Super-Gravity as only string theory was in style (I read "Consensus" here). Turns our the Super-Gravity people had a lot right too (11 dimensions of spacetime). People don't get study grants for research into anti-GW work.
Who do I sue when GW is shown to be caused by variations in this unshielded thermo-nuclear reactor we orbit?
No matter your political leanings, it is hard to argue that NASA does not provide a great return on investment. But with our myopic tendencies (Congress and Business) no one has the balls to invest what is needed to continue long-term success.
He is just naive. No one will give up their trump card. And even if they did, it may not be for the best. I submit that a world without nukes would be one with much larger standing armies. Look at europe during the "old" cold war. NATO relied on the nuke card to justify much smaller forces.
Just wait. Next up will be treatment based on life expectancy and quality. I see this becoming an issue based on my experience working for a group of Eye docs (retinal specialists). I often see very elderly (and often demented) patients receiving very expensive treatment of eye conditions. do they need the treatment - sure, to preserve their sight. Does the treatment improve their quality of life - maybe. So who decides, the patient or family, or BIG government?
It is funny how one news outlet, Fox, gets singled out so often here on/. since it does not fit with left-leaning tendencies of the "properly informed". However, those how are right-leaning think that just about all other news outlets, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, etc., are biased to the left.
I am curious what percentage of journalists are left vs right leaning, if they would have the balls to say.
I forget where I read this, I apologize. Somewhere the High School kids figured out it would be fun to make copies of their teacher's plates and put them on another vehicle. Then they would proceed to run several red-lights with cameras. Teachers would get bill in the mail a few days later.
"And in other news, shortly after Fermilab announced the discovery of the so-called 'god particle' the laboratory disappeared into a small black hole."
Because it is the frickin' Government, a government that is elected by people who now pay less and less tax. If you election strategy is to offer +50% of the electorate more services at less taxes, then you have to soak everyone else and then claim they will take it all away when election time comes.
Right on man. One thing to add is the cost of some of the content that got bid up when the two companies were vying for listenership. Please excuse me, but HOWARD STEARN is not worth even an order-of-magnitude less than they are paying him. Come on, maybe even two orders.
Probably the coolest video of a Boeing passenger jet was the 707's barrel roll. The test pilot got in a bit of trouble BUT WAS NOT FIRED. Needless to say it was only done once.
I am using Picasa 3 beta on my imac and have no issues with their updater. Although it came as a surprise to me when it first popped up an alert that a new version was out.
Resource usage is minimal (didn't even know it was running - which I guess is the issue some are having.

I think it was Walter Mondale, but nonetheless, you are absolutely correct.
Hey bud, you are the one getting all irrational. In six words you couldn't help yourself from using an expletive.

I assume our wise and courageous Justice Department will hand down indictments any minute!
Aww - We'll get right on that once we finish giving blowjobs to the RIAA
Hey Greenpeace, kiss my hairy yellow ass.
Right on the spot. Responsibility is on the owner.
I apologize right now for this troll comment. Hey Democrats - suck my turbocharged tail pipe.
When there is no more electricity from the evil polluters!
Ahh, the Dem. version of Dan Quayle.
Amen bro. Could not have said it better.
Sounds like "Spy vs. Spy".

How and the hell can a submission like this get by the slashdot moderators. Apparently they are in need of some remedial science studies.
At least once a week I tell my nine year old twins "the world is not fair". Seems appropriate here.
Judges especially need to be held to higher standards, put them in prison for life.
Amen to that Brother.
