For the modern left, "tolerance" and "open-mindedness" only apply to ideas they agree with.
Sure. If the left wing is to be slandered by the actions of these cretins, would be ok if we characterised the right wing by the actions of their most moronic elements?
I think I was at that conference (Put on by Environment Canada at the CCIW).
Different one. Mine was in the UK.
What I am also saying is that the current input to the lake would not be increased dramatically as the source water that is returning would not be different in temperature than what is currently being discharged.
Cool. I'm an environmental fluid dynamicist. Here's one for you. I saw a talk about this recently, concerning coolant water from a nuclear power station.
Take a lake at about 3C, and inject some water at about 10 degrees. You get a surface gravity current, that steadily cools. When it gets to about 5C, its becomes *more* dense than the cooler water beneath it, and the warm water sinks as a plume through the cold water, and you get a stably stratified lake, with a warm water intrusion at the bottom supporting a colder water mass.
Well, less wind in areas in the direct lee of the buildings is altogether plausible. Alsom the heat island effect of concrete is also pretty well known. I'd think that warm area rising at night from the concrete is going to penetrate to a greater height than the lee waves from wind turbines, or even buildings.
Consider the historical effect of tens of thouands of summers if that were not true.
While what you say is entirely true (and I make similar points above), its worth noting (since we're "so-called technically literate" and all) that heating a thermally stratified lake at the bottom (e.g. with injected coolant water) will not have the same effect as heating it at the top (e.g. with sunshine). One tends to stabilise the stratification, the other destabilises it and induced convective circulations, which can have a dramatic climatic effect.
The scematic does not show the back half of the municipal system (sewer and waste water treatment).
Well, yes, it does. Eventually. But by that time, the heat it gained in the exchangers has long been dissipated, so it's irrelevant. Waste water from this source will be no warmer than the waste water that was previously reaching Lake Ontario.
Well, as I understand it, that water was getting pumped out of the lake anyway... But given how cold Ontario gets in winter, the Canadian winter probably cools the lake enough in the winter for it to act as a pretty efficient renewable heat buffer.
No it won't, because the water used to cool the air is the same water that would be extracted anyway, to provide potable water to the city. See this schematic. Notice the warm water is not returned to Lake Ontario.
He's having much more fun calling down the shit on the US dopers only
No. I'm calling down shit on the US dope testers, who, prior to the establishment of USADA, ended up responsible for athletic performance (and the enormous income it generated) and dope testing.
Unsurprisingly, this led to a massive conflict of interest, and the US dope testing becoming something of a laughing stock. Don't believe me? Then don't take my word for it. Here's what Dick Pound of the World Anti-Doping Authority has to say :
"I think the leadership within USA Track & Field has been largely responsible for this problem getting as bad as it has, and they're going to have to look very carefully at their own house. I think that they have demonstrated over the past few years there is a very serious problem, and it is a sleazy thing."
"I think that a lot of the difficulty has been simply a lack of no tolerance for cheating. Until that message goes out and is backed up by some sanctions, it's kind of an invitation to flirt out there at the edges."
So you're actually claiming that no other athletes in the world are doping, that it's only done in the US?
Err, no. I'm not saying anything like that. For example, Dwain Chambers, a British athlete, was also recently banned for using THG. So stop setting up idiotic strawmen.
But, if you followed the sport, you'd know that US Athletics has an absolutely shocking track record when dealing with doping.
Well, last I checked, it was Tim Montgomery (THG, via BALCO), Marion Jones (ditto), Torri Edwards (Nikeathon), Kevin Toth, John McEwen, Melissa Price, Regina Edwards, Kelli White. Throw in a previous positive tests from Carl Lewis, that was swept under the carpet. Need I go on? I could.
Fortunately, with USADA, this looks like it might change.
I'm glad they've finally reopened the monument. I've good memories of it. In fact, the last time I was inside a woman, I was visiting the Statue of Liberty.
Well, thats a moronic case for sure, but its not frivolous in a legal sense. The lawyers have a good case, given the law. Sex toys are illegal in Texas. The problem here is that the law was written by fundamentalist asshats is the major problem here (and fortunately, not one we're beset with rightpond.)

what are you, some kind of clown?
Err. Somewhere. The paper I saw was by ... rummages on desk ... Dr A Kay of Loughbrough University, UK His web page isn't terribly up to date, though.

Right. And SCOForum doesn't host talks called "Free Software and the Fools Who Use It"

See this or this for examples.
PS : Hockey is not governed by US Athletics, which is, unsurprisingly, concened with Athletics.
The variable they seem to have omitted is Propensity of country's sporting bodies to turn blind eye to positive drugs tests."
Thats the primary explaination for the success of the Eastern Europeans in the 60s and 70s, and US Athletics since then.

S$300 is more than the cost of many cameras, let alone storage. Sure, thats "Dirt Cheap" if you've got S$300 knocking around.
How about the rest of us?
Canadians would've been first to the moon too, if they could've decided whether to call the mission "Moonshot One" or "Premier Projectile de Lune"
Seriously, I thought Hubble was joint NASA/EU Space Agency. Sure you're not thinking of the splendidly self deprecating Humble Space Telescope
