I always suspected that meat might go bad under those circumstances but am so glad to see that my tax money is being used to fund a Professor (we are not worthy!) to confirm this. Does he have a citation in a peer-reviewed journal for his incredible claim though? Or is it just a wild conspiracy theory.
Are you serious? Many US politicians have called in not-so-many-words (and perhaps literally in some cases) for his assassination! The US is renowned for its policy on "extra-judicial-killing", known to the rest of us as the henious crime called murder. It is also well known for kidnapping, torture and detention without charge or trial. Not exactly the America I grew up to love when I were a lad! Hmmm, let me think. Shoud Assange trust the US government or not. Ohhhh, it's a real tough one.
I take the disk apart to get to the actual disk. Then I smash it up, it is very brittle. Then I put it in a food blender, and it turns almost to powder. Then I throw the dust in the bin. I don't think anybody can recover its data that way. It only takes 30 minutes. Remember to smash the board and chips up also... because that is fun too.
Wow! Everyone is an expert on this forum! I would like to see a team of government agents who kidnap fat people and lock them in a room with a controlled diet and exercise equipment, the room would have a small hole in the ceiling and until the person can get out through it, they stay there and lose weight. Tough love. Hopefully Barry Sotero will introduce is as part of his New Socialist United States... not long till he renames it "The Democratic Republic of America".
But cellphones are perfectly safe according to official doctrine. What is the problem here? Why do we need protecting from something that is officially safe. If they are unsafe then they should be banned.
This is good stuff for the eugenicists like Holden, the US science advisor. Check out his book Ecoscience where he writes about Eugenics. It's going to be a bit like Brave New World, apart from non-Utopic, more satanic - like the worshipping of the Owl Moloch that the previous US presidents do at Bohemian Grove where they perform a mock human sacrifice. Hmmmm, can't wait for the future to come.
"Planets form out of the same swirling gas cloud that creates a star"... say they!
Err... Oh. Do they? How do you know that? When did someone observe all planets forming, to make this extremely certain statement? When has someone observed a single planet forming from start to finish?
How do you know that? Answer: Well, that is what our models say.
oh. So your model can only generate planets this way, I see. Perhaps they should say:
"Planets in our models form out of the same swirling gas cloud that creates a star"... but then they have to end with the statement: "Having observed planets appearing to have not formed this way, we conclude that our model is a pile of crap." Oh, and please give us some more money.
Look, we all know that W7 will be a piece of crap like all of its predecessors. I can hear the army of the Microsoft faithful telling us how radically different it is going to be from 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP, Vista... I am sure I have missed a few hundred others! Always there is the hype and the promises... and then someone puts it in a laptop and the swearing begins, then the billions of bug fixes will come out followed by some stupid DRM program like Genuine Advantage which will only affect people who actually paid for the piece of crap - the others having hacked copies which ignore the DRM. I have not used a Windows since mid-XP, my life is so much less stressful now!
The system is perfectly safe... just don't let your card out of your sight for more than 11m59s. Citizens do have to take some responsibility after all!
Wealth would be better spent either helping humans on Earth or, if we must have a space program, finding ways to get people out there. No point in knowing something is there if we can't get to it.
Kent Hovind has a set of videos on google videos where he answers that problem from his creationist perspective. This is not an endorsement of his viewpoint, but if the question is genuine then that is where to find Kent Hovind's answer.
I'm not in favour of patents being "busted" at all, I want to get rid of them completely. They should not exist... there is no such thing as intellectual property. You either know something or you do not. Just because you manage to know it first does not give you ownership of it. You cannot own these things. If someone else manages to find out your idea then tough. Of course, if they do illegal things like putting a gun to your head or hacking into your computer then they should be prosecuted for that.
I know where you are coming from but in the end it is their right to keep it secret, i.e. not tell anybody... it is called privacy... it is a right. What is not a right is to stop somebody else from doing things, like inventing/developing things independently, just because you started doing it, or even just thinking about doing it, first.
"Would you be ok with someone putting a gun to your head and forcing you to disclose your secrets?"
Yes. I am okay with that.
"Because espionage is only a few steps below that."
So is head hunting key members of a research team. Would you ban head hunting too?
The problem with patents is that one can sit in a dark room and dream up every conceivable thing that may plausibly be invented, patent it and then sit back and either watch the cash roll in for doing bugger all... or the whole of human development has to wait for your patent to expire.
I am sick of it. We should scrap patents completely. If you have got a secret way of doing something, then it is up to you to exploit it and keep it secret. If somebody else discovers, either independently or through espionage, what you are doing, and they can do it better, cheaper, then you are fair game.
SIMPLE + NO LEGAL TEAM FEES!!!
E.g. India etc.. should be flooding our markets with what at the moment would be called "stolen drug technologies", but are in fact just reverse engineered. I don't care if the big biotechs bitch that without patenting it would not be worth their while investing in R&D - they should invest in R&D to keep their stuff secret if it concerns them that much, or better still, be more efficient on the production line.
The closest alien life is on the planet Nibiru which will collide with Earth in 2012, also, the Royal Family are a reptilian race from outer space. The Sumerian scripts provide ample evidence of this Didn't you know that already! Read the work of Zachariah Sitchen;-)

Fining Google $17M is like fining me $1. It is a funking joke fine.

Looks like the baddie from Heroes to me.
"because it was captured from the planetoid kuiper belt" Oh, was it? Did you see it happen?

I'm not sure that anything is as funny as a Kent Hovind video ... apart perhaps from a Kent Hovind debate?

Are any other species proposed to have evolved from the spiders that existed 300M years ago?

How fast did the Borg spread? Can't we use that as a rough estimate?
