PaulEhrlich, the author of the Population Bomb! You really don't want to put stock in anything he has to say? This man has been so wrong so many times it's amazing he can keep a job.
From the Population Bomb “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s the world will undergo famines–hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.”
umm... well... If it reflects all colors then it would be white, so that's not colorless. If it absorbs all colors it'd be black which means it also reflects no color. Reflecting no color would be colorless then. So then it looks like what people think a black hole looks like, and even blacker place in the sky. Yea that's it.
Homo sapiens survived a couple of ice ages and one, coming up on two, climate optimums. I think we have some experience with at least that. We don't appear to have much grasp on how badly we can fuck up things for the other species on this wet rock.
The problem with Creationists--and the reason it has NO place in a science class--is that they expect people to reject all evidence for a universe billions of years old and all evidence that the Theory of Evolution is correct in favor of another idea for which ZERO evidence exists, an idea for which mountains of evidence in fact disproves. That is the antithesis of science.
This is where you completely misunderstand those who believe in a supreme being. They DO see evidence of existence every time they go to Church, Synagog, Mosque, Temple, etc. Grandma recovered from cancer, it's a miracle from God. Bobby is alcohol free after 5 years, by the grace of God. I'm successful and not on the street, because I go to Church. etc etc. Just like you have been to Atlanta they have been in the presence of God. So for them there's plenty of evidence of the existence of God and that their life long religion, or the one that took them in when they were down, shows them the power of "faith" every day.
Faith, the belief in things not provable, is extremely powerful and it doesn't help one bit when science relies on it for some of their biggest theories, such as string theory and a few others.
Its not an assault rifle. Those have been banned nationwide since 1986, and controlled/registered nationwide since 1934.
You mean ownership of fully automatic weapons has been banned since 1986. Assault Rifle is essentially a made up term which can apply to what ever the government nitwits want it to apply to. It does not mean fully automatic weapon.
DAM lack of edit. I mean ownership of fully automatic weapons BUILT after 1986 has been banned!. Nearly anyone can own a fully automatic weapon built before 1986.

I think the Georgia Straight got a sales call confused with news. As handy as computers are a pen and paper works much better very often. Android, Surface and iPad just don't really work that well to replace a pencil and paper. Until there is a commercially viable 40"x60" Surface with proper drafting table UI we will still be using paper for a long time.
If you think the Indiana RFRA gives a business the right to discriminate based on religion then test it. Refuse to serve "Christians" and see how that works out in the courts.
Run your own GitHub or Git repo. Why in the world would your rely on an outside company to store your production code? It verges on incompetence to do so.
Cyanobacteria is actually a better plan. It lives, takes in CO2 dies and sinks to the bottom of the ocean taking much of the CO2 with it. It's how some of the coal, oil and gas were made to begin with, along with a lot of limestone.
Just saw people in the control room make hand motions that might indicate the lander bounced and drifted around a bit. Hopefully they are just speculating till they get better data.
... Saying it failed because they were going slower than the normal deployment speed just doesn't make sense.
I was first thinking along the same line also but the air density at 15km is much higher than at 100km. Even so I was under the impression that the feather is deployed at a slower speed near the apex of the flight.
Automate it. Have fewer people feed bags of ice into the back side of vending machines hanging off the sides of the ice truck. You wouldn't even need much mechanical or electrical. You really only need an automated cash taker, change maker. Post the number of bags the customer wants inside the truck for someone to drop down a hopper. The number resets as bags drop down the chute until the right number is met. Next...
Unfortunately Apple knows very few actually run OS X server and Apache through it so the possible compromised systems, in their eyes, was very small. i.e. not a big deal to get this out fast. What they don't realize is that a large number of institutions actually use their server product to manage all the Macs in the institution. If the servers were compromised then all the clients would then be at risk. Think instant Mac bot net!
Fortunately this is open source software and you can patch it your self but most Mac servers are run by people that don't know how to do that. Sigh...

Jupiter and Venus are converging this month!
So that explains what's causing the the extra stress and aberrant behavior of the inhabitants.

Looking forward to 8K porn, although it may shorten porn careers. Good thing there are new 18 year olds every year!
I might should buy a laser depilatory and skin care shop in LA someplace.
Ugh that makes my network hurt.

... unfortunately the penny arcade crowd is going to tear it down in their endless, nihilistic pursuit for yet another reason to be upset or whatever.
Are we to get some deep meaning from this spew of faux witticism?
Now, you stupid barbarians, you have to learn 2 things:
1) there is a good reason THE WORLD calls real football... "football"
2) there is a good reason THE WORLD use the metric system - "off-topic", i know, but...!
Yank here...1) We don't give a fuck 2) See 1.
Greek here... 1) Because your dicks are smaller when using the Imperial system! 2) See 1.
Which brings us back to the topic of corruption.

That reboots the machine! use -h at least. geez

Did they name the Harpoon "Queequeg"? tell me they didn't.
Harpoon did not fire
I understand that a Greenpeace boat got in the way...
It was probably a German made harpoon too, not Japanese or Norwegian
Just saw people in the control room make hand motions that might indicate the lander bounced and drifted around a bit. Hopefully they are just speculating till they get better data.

Now I'm wondering if the feather unlock was part of the test? ugh
