Bullshit, there is MORE FUCKING ICE NOW, IT IS NOT GETTING WARMER.
Oh, and I remember HOW FUCKING COLD IT WAS LAST WINTER.
Go fuck yourself sideways with a barbed wire wrapped pineapple and keep your fucking hands off of my money you fraud big government nanny state lemming.
An easy (simplistic, and not entirely satisfactory) explanation of increased sea ice in the Antarctic: Increased collapse of land-based ice into the sea contributes both to increased area of sea ice and rising sea level. There are other factors; scientists are indeed working on that.
Weather extremes and unusual seasons are precisely what can be expected in the coming years. Even small regional changes in temperature can lead to considerably increased instability in weather patterns. That can include increased sea ice in Antarctica, as well as a "fucking cold" winter in the US (or at least parts of it).
Regarding your tone, and the rest: it's not even worth going into; you're doing just fine expressing your level of thoughtfulness and social responsibility, and representing the contrarian climatology "science".
> He got two, the third strangled him. So three people dead, one in jail for life (I hope)... which probably would not have happened if he had not had a gun.
It still would have happened, but the only death would have been his.
Possibly, but probably more likely is the burglars tell him not to move, and he sits quietly while they take his stuff, then they leave and he calls the police and his insurance company.
The vague "respond to detection" in the patent application is intended to cover all possible responses, including a remote kick to the dick. So, you'd have to license Mr. Bill's patent.
That's right. "Chemtrails" are for climate engineering, apparently. And mind control. Don't forget the mind control. Oh, and poisoning the populace, though maybe that's just accidental side effects from the climate engineering. And the mind control.
In fact, if you meet someone in Silicon Valley who doesn't know pi, and you're in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, you may have sufficient evidence that it's a zombie...and there you are with a shotgun!
Yeah, that's a big ol' red flag. Don't work there. Don't put your money/bitcoins there. Don't do business with them. Make sure they never owe you money for any reason.
One of the big problems with the pro-vaccine argument is that 99% of the time all vaccines get lumped into a single entity when all vaccines are most certainly not created equal.
That's one of the big problems with the anti-vaxers, too: the false belief that one vaccine causes autism gets extended to a false belief that all vaccines cause autism, or other bad things.
Other articles on/. have brought out commenters claiming if they ever even see someone wearing Google Glass, they'd punch the person in the face. The simple act of wearing the device is apparently sufficient justification for otherwise unprovoked assault.
Cops wearing Google Glass could be your opportunity!
Geeze, one typo and nobody will ever let you forget it.
Yes, that's correct. Maybe Slashdot could build that into the filter: don't show any Anonymous Cowards, and don't show anyone who has ever made a typo in a comment. Ever.
And the person punching a person with a recording device buys an assault charge. That is just the price to be paid. Don't play the game if you can't take the blame.
In US terms, the contract in this case would be to deliver Tearaway. The "improper" fulfilment of that contract was that the delivery was a bundle of Tearaway+Vita. The buyer could then accept that as an adequate substitution, and consider the contract complete, or reject it. In this case, the reason for rejection presumably would be that they didn't feel morally justified in taking advantage of the company's mistake, since it is clearly a more than adequate "substitution" in objective terms.
Elsewhere in the thread, the example was used of a delivery of a medium shirt instead of a large, to show the absurdity of the idea of keeping the medium *and* demanding the originally ordered large, or keeping the medium *and* disputing the credit card charge. Yes, that would be absurd, but it would also be absurd for the shirt company to contact the buyer afterward and *insist* that the medium be returned for exchange for a large, even if it turned out the medium was acceptable.
"The Leaf owner in question is a habitual troublemaker who violated orders of the property owner already (per the link to 11alive.) He also argued with the cop and refused to admit a mistake. (If he did that, the cop would let him go.)
Well, sure, if you're going to go ahead and read the linked article that shows it's not really about stealing electricity.
From the article, I see the guy had previously been explicitly told by the school not to use the tennis courts without permission. He wasn't even supposed to be there, so maybe in hindsight the correct charge would have been trespassing. And, also in hindsight, maybe being such a dick didn't really work out that well for the guy.

I whitelist some sites, if their ads aren't too overwhelming or intrusive. Wired.com isn't one of those.
I read that three times as the Donner party.
Well, the GOP candidates do seem intent on eating each other.

$1650!!! Are they crazy? $300 is more than enough ...
An i7 laptop with NVIDIA Quadro and the rest of the specs on that machine would indeed be awesome at $300. That seems unlikely any time soon, though.

There's sometimes highlighting, though on investigation it usually appears to be entirely random.
The good news is that you've been offered an intern position at a major healthcare provider, providing critical support for elderly patients...
Ah, so now consuming the blood of virgins won't count as a purely recreational activity...
Which means you may be able to deduct the cost as a medical expense.

Assaulting someone with a video recording device pointed at you might increase the chance of conviction.

Antivaxers? Clinging to their PDP-11s, are they?
If there were ever a controversial vaccine called VMS, there be a bunch of old guys chuckling to themselves whenever the anti-vaxers were discussed.
One of the big problems with the pro-vaccine argument is that 99% of the time all vaccines get lumped into a single entity when all vaccines are most certainly not created equal.
That's one of the big problems with the anti-vaxers, too: the false belief that one vaccine causes autism gets extended to a false belief that all vaccines cause autism, or other bad things.
It's really easy to change careers at 55. Get laid off. Look for work for a year. Take whatever the Hell you can find. Bingo! You're in a new career!

Let us know how it goes.
Eventually, of course, this leads to robots powered by beer.

I suspect there's an increased chance of jail when the person punched says to the cop "I have video."
