I think both of those would be described as examples of X having a negative value. (Not doing something being negative, doing something being positive.) No that I disagree with your overall sentiment, but I like to see it express without the logical holes.
Whining about "stolen" email, which should have been made public in the first place, is misdirection.
Yes, yes it is. If someone can carry out a decent scientific study that produces results contradicting the standard view of climate change I'll adjust my opinion, but these emails really don't sway me.
You know, I was thinking of a good response to that, when I realised you'd already given me one, the first comment from your first link:
Is it really fair to say that the temperature increases were over-forecast? I mean, sure, you can't argue that the 2007 numbers in the graph above are about 0.3 degrees below the projection.
But what about Pinatubo in 1991? There's the best portion of the 0.3 degree offset right there; the cooling associated with this natural climate forcing. Volcanic eruptions are stochastic events which cannot be forecast. This is why the IPCC makes projections and not predictions. All the factors known to affect climate aren't considered in the 'prediction' above.
The slope of temperature rise from 1992 onward looks to me to agree quite well with the 2.5 degree sensitivity line. I would argue that that is the more relevant quality to compare here in light of the unexpected forcing, rather than the final offset.
I thought the whole point of social security was to be revenue neutral. Basically just a savings account that the government tells you that you have to have, so you can look after yourself when you're too old to work.
I have complained about unexplained acronyms in the past, but I believe your complaint isn't valid. Had the summary mentioned E. Coli, would you have similarly complained. I know that the E stands for something, I don't know what the word is, but I know what E. Coli is, and it is usually referred to as E. Coli. You don't need to know what the K stands for to understand the meaning of K. Pneumoniae.
You need something that you can be sure is what you think it is. Areas open to the public are prone to changing in ways that you may not be able to predict. This is specifically constructed to be that shape, and it will be that shape every time you point a satellite at it.
I've been overly influenced by Need For Speed etc. I remember once my girlfriend was driving, but she wasn't paying attention to the road and she started to veer toward the concrete wall. My first thought was along the lines of "well just slide along this wall a little way and it'll give us a nice run into that corner up there."
In the spirit of spelling out Acronyms, you're referring to Birmingham Small Arms. Started out making guns for the English war effort, then decided that motorcycles were more fun.;)

If we go and try to list every car that could be in this list we'll be here for a long time. I'll go ahead and throw in Countach/300ZX
While everything you just said may indeed be true, it says nothing about whether or not there was an income tax in the USA between 1776 and 1913.
You made a boo-boo and got called out on it. Take it like a man.
I'll join your quest to make element 115 Elerium.
Personally though, I'm looking forward to Unobtainium becoming official.
Read the final sentence of the post to which you are replying. You clearly didn't read it before posting, and you may find it educational.

I'm sure the free market will come up with a solution.
Calm down yah flamin' galah! I can see you as dry as a dead dingo's donger, so down this tinnie, and you'll be right as rain.
I often get lunch, and I get a couple of beers a year, but I think I'm not in the right career for t-shirts.
Is this obligatory; http://xkcd.com/326/? I can never tell...
yes it is
His comment in no way implies that you cannot also be simultaneously excited, miffed and aroused.
Since he couldn't make it here today, I'll fill in for him.
Cower some more, feeb. Ur mum's face has as many IDs as Michael Kristopeit.

In that case I think you need this Whoosh! more than I do.

Never is the right word to use in the appropriate context.
We will never be able to produce enough of these chips and tie them together well enough to produce anything conventionally interesting
(Emphasis Mine.) We'll probably eventually find a way to model a human brain, but these chips are just a very small step in that direction.
(I only felt the need to comment as I thought the same thing as you did until I went back and re-read it.)
That guys such a troll his comments show up at -1, not matter what he posts.
How many points do I get for knowing how bad InfoWorld usually is, and coming to the comments section to find someone who'd posted the print page?
