I am not sure about that. Hydrocarbons exist on Titan without any known animals secreting it. I would wager hydrocarbons are mostly the result of a geological process.
You are a crack pot. The universe doesn't belong to anyone so why not exploit the resources of a little part of it? I.e. the Earth. Other animals do it all the time, its just that they aren't as good at it as we are. If we shit-in-our-own-bed then blame the Republicans!
See "Government regulation of phone companies" for a justification on the FCC regulating internet. The internet is a medium of communication entirely similar to but more capable than telephone.
Sometimes that clause is used to regulate stuff that should not fall under the feds, but clearly in this case it does. An example of it being abused was the argument "selling medical pot affects the price of it across state borders so the DEA has the authority to prosecute medical growers in states where it is legal". I am not sure if that is still in effect but for a time it was.
Ok. Well, I hereby proclaim that I may use your property whenever I feel like it as part of an agreement we had that I will clean and maintain your house for you and make sure that you can get from room to room with ease. You must pay me to access various rooms in your house depending on how you are going to use the room. For example. using the bathroom for a shower will cost you 1 dollar. Using it for the toilet will cost you 2 dollars. If you just want to walk around your house you owe me nothing. That is sort of what Verizon is doing.
Just because you accept money from the government (example: scholarship, unemployment, subsidy for a hybrid,diesel,electric,or other green car) should not mean the government automatically gains authority to regulate everything: your person, your property, your home. And yet: That's what you just argued.
No he didn't. For example, if the government gives you subsidies/grants to go to school and you decide to smoke pot with it they will cut off your funding. If a agency that receives government funding or benefits tries to not hire a black person because of their race, the government steps in. The point is Verizon doesn't own the airwaves, doesn't own most of the land their cables go under or above, and doesn't completely own their own network because it was built with government money with the purpose of networking the US together. Once you restrict access you violate this agreement. For example, in my work if I sign a contract that I will do such-and-such research for such-and-such organization and I do not do it, I will have my contract revoked and owe them money. If I receive grant money for research and I do not make a reasonable effort at it I will never ever again receive grant money from that institution and I will have damaged my own reputation as well as the institution I am at. Verizon wants to eat their cake and have it afterwards, which is fine, but if they actually do it now they owe use for the use of public lands, access to public lands, and access to airwaves.
Three words. Public land use. Verizon gets to access public lands to make repairs, do installations, etc. for their cables. Furthermore their cables run under public and sometimes private lands. If they want to use this argument to have more control over their network then they need to 1) Pay each and every one of us a yearly stipend for using our airwaves. 2) Pay private landowners, city government, federal government, and county government each and every time they have to access public land to work on "their" cables, and 3) Pay to even have the presence of their cables on any of the aforementioned lands. They must come to an agreement with each and every person or local/state/federal government their cables and access needs affects based on land ownership. Maybe we should also throw in a charge for blocking sunlight with their cell towers. After all, the sun belongs to everyone.
"Verizon argues that the FCC does not have the legal authority to mandate how Internet service providers treat content on their networks.
Well, then I think Verizon should have to pay every time they have to use public lands to access their network cables and cell towers, and they should have to buy all the property their cables run underneath, or they must pay for its use, and they should pay each and every one of us a yearly stipend for using our airwaves.
Out of body experiences have been induced in people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-body_experience#Induced . Interestingly enough, the explanation is due to something changing in your brain's operation, not some spiritual occurrence. What even is spirituality? Can you define it at all so that it is distinct from mind? It is simply something that exists as part of a natural physiological occurrence in your mind. Its related to a similar mechanism that convinces people they are possessed by animal spirits or the holy spirit an causes them to to weird shit like speak in tongues or run around in an animalistic rage.
Being one who has actually had Out Of Body experience, seen auras, and experienced that there is more to this universe than the judgement of sciencific-minded people.
Science isn't about rejecting all possibilities. It about accepting that anything could be true or could occur but only being interested in the things that do occur as evident by a physical observation and evidence. That is physical evidence that you can verify repeatedly to other people and it is also subject to our senses we actually have. Even your aura seeing and out-of-body experience had senses involved such as sight, sound, etc., so go try to devise a method to repeat this event and share it with people so they can try it out for themselves. A dream you had or some "precognition" you experienced doesn't constitute physical evidence because there is no way to record these things or repeat them at will so other people can experience it and verify your claim. There have been many other plausible causes proposed for out-of-body experiences and seeing "auras". Why is your hypothesis that its simply "beyond our understanding" the correct one? Prove it. Assholes have come up with all sorts of crap-explanations over the generations and have been proven wrong time and time again. Examples? The Earth is the center of the Universe. Witches exist and should be burned at the stake. Humans were created by god out of dirt. Etc. Etc.
The fact that you can't disassemble the drive is just plain stupid. You would need to read the platters with some higher tech gear that whats in the drive to see if there is any residual information left on it. Im not sure if its been done before but I see no reason its not physically impossible, maybe just too expensive and their are cheaper ways to get intelligence info like bribing a corrupt individual and killing them if they ever seem like they may give up what you are doing.
I always have liked Samsung and HTC products, never had a problem with Motorola since Ive never owned one, but now I won't ever buy one. Congrats Motorola.
Bablakely looks to be more like a puppet account. Furthermore, its not slander (or in this case libel) if you genuinely believe something to be true. It must be proven you are out to cause harm to the reputation of the entity and generally also fabricate a story.
Theres a Qwest social outreach rep down below your post trying to locate the person who posted these and another person who "apparently" posted the pictures with a miraculously similar name to the Picasa account apologizing saying it "wasn't Qwest afterall" even though the submission was anonymous. I would wager there is something fishing going on.
Comcast is horrible in some areas. They do the same crap. Some areas here in Houston they have absolutely awful bandwidth but sell it to people anyway. Additionally, I bought my own cable modem at Microcenter and they tried to charge me for keeping "their" modem. I switched to AT&T and its been great. I think it just depends on where you are.

Thank Science for this creation!
