Surface atmospheric temperatures are only one aspect of global warming. Other indices have increased: glaciers are still melting, sealevels rise, insurance payments for weather induced catastrophes (an indicator for the number of exceptional weather events) are on the rise.
There is no fraud. There is just puzzlement why one indicator didn't rise in the last 15 years.
Peope calling this fraud are fraudsters (or their fanboys).
It still doesn't change the equations. The amount of energy necessary to move 1 kilogramm of matter from a Titan orbit to Earth orbit is larger than the chemical enery of 1 kg of hydrocarbonates.
Grown up in Europe, where legless lizards are quite common (slow worms and sheltopusiks), I never asked myself that. I just thought: Oh, I didn't know yet that in the U.S., there were no known legless lizards until now!
The physicist is Szilard. Leó Szilárd. And legless lizards are known elsewhere, for instance the slow worm and the sheltopusik.
No need to coin a new word for them, we know them already:)
The main problem is that the transport from Titan to Earth consumes much more energy than the hydrocarbons actually contain. Just accelerating the hydrocarbons enough to get them on a trajectory to Earth takes more energy already. So the logistics will stay unsurmountable for the future -- there is just no point in transporting hydrocarbons from Titan to Earth. It would be cheaper energywise to use that energy to synthetize hydrocarbons on Earth, where the materials (water and carbondioxide) are aboundant.
It's the SWIFT data, and that means all transnational transactions cleared by SWIFT.
And yes, spies having sexual relationships is a common way for them to get access classified data, so you just didn't get my analogy. Who is stupid now?
As soon as you get change, this tracking is void. Normal cash registers at supermarkets don't register the serial numbers and don't connect them to accounts.
This one's something they SHOULD be monitoring and can legally do so since it's international.
This might be true according to U.S. law, but for instance not according to European law. In Europe, the NSA is still a law breaker. But on the other hand, most European secret services seem to be complicit with the NSA (which makes them law breakers too).
I know how to handle the situation, I was just doubting that a teacher, as well educated he might be, can solve any school related problem and cited an example from my personal experience where I knew that the teacher would be the wrong person to ask.
Schools do need to kick out the small minority of incorrigible troublemakers who aren't there to learn anyway, and who ruin the learning environment for those who are.
The problem is that the main troublemakers are often quite intelligent and good pupils with a lot of friends at school. You have to be in a position of power to be able to continiously harass people without getting into trouble yourself. It's not the big redhaired stepchild, who mainly harasses other children, it's often the captain of the football team, the winner of the literacy contest or the class speaker. What you consider the actual trouble is the angry and helpless reaction of the weaker children, which then get punished for being angry and helpless.
I doubt that. For instance, my son goes to school via public transport, and now the new term has started, and on his normal bus station there were children waiting whom he knew from his short time in a soccer club. And they started to harass him because of him leaving the club again so soon. And no, they don't go to the same school as him, they just use the same bus, as it is the main bus line downtown.
I don't know how a teacher will solve this, though it is definitely school related.
So for the NSA to kick out the really problematic implementations, the really secure ones, those they didn't find a backdoor in yet, the NSA will just recommend them?
So according to that many classical economic theories, if a glazier repairs a broken window and makes a profit on it, society as a whole profits? Wouldn't it make economical sense then to go around and smash windows?
Either the other countries don't (then the NSA is the big bully), or the other countries are much better at not getting caught (then the NSA is the idiot).
The Diesel engines of BMW (extremely popular in Europe) are the result of a collaboration with GM, and the flat heads are a result if a collaboration with FIAT.
As I said: It was the difficult little details that one had to get right.
The solution was to have a uniform piece of coal burning in a vacuum while electric current flows through it. The hellishly difficult details were: 1. how to create a piece of coal with constant diameter to avoid hot spots, 2. how to fix it onto a conducting wire. 3. how to create and keep the vacuum. 4. how to get the coal to burn at 1900 celsius without having the connecting wire melt away.
It's a little bit similar to the invention of the steam engine. The solution was clear long before James Watt. Heating water until it boils yields enough energy to move a piston in a cylinder. This was patented long before James Watt even was born. And the Newcomen engine was already an improvement on this, so one could call it the first commercially viable version, though it still was enormous in size, occupying a whole house for a single machine, and using gigantic amounts of coal.
James Watt invented three very important details. First, heating the water and cooling it afterwards outside the actual cylinder, thus improving vastly on the economy of the machine, cutting the needed fuel to a fourth of what it was before, and allowing the machine to get reduced in size. Second, the regulator, allowing changing loads on the running machine without having to constantly re-calibring it, thus allowing its use in new environments like powering looms. Third: combining the piston with a gear to change the linear movement of the piston in a rotating movement to power all kinds of mechanical engines, thus creating an universal machine for generic power. Those invention allowed Boulton&Watt to reign supreme in the world of steam engines for the decades to come. It still doesn't make James Watt the inventor of the steam engine or a breaker into uncharted territory.
You are missing the point of the article. Learning to code is hellishly difficult with an iPad compared with a programmable calculator. So it's not programming one uses the iPad for in school. What's the educational use case for the iPad then?
Because the solution was clear even before the actual invention. Electric light was feasible. Electric light had a business case. It was the difficult little details that one had to get right. It was exactly what the original poster said: It wasn't breaking into new land, it was paving the road for the tourists, that was Edison's main achievement. I guess, one of the judges in the patent courts said it best:
It was a remarkable discovery that an attenuated thread of carbon would possess all the long-sought qualities of a practical burner when maintained in a perfect vacuum. The extreme fragility of such a structure was calculated to discourage experimentation with it, and it does not detract in the least from the originality of the conception that previous patents hat suggested that thin plates or pencils or small bridges could be used. The futility of hoping to maintain a burner in vacuum with any permanency had discouraged prior inventors, and Mr. Edison is entitled to the credit of obviating the mechanical difficulties which disheartened them,
Like it or not, protection of your life is unenforceable. We can fiddle with our protection mechanisms, so they allow less danger, but there are still lots of dangers around.
Yes, protection of privacy is hard stuff, but that doesn't mean we should give up. Yes, we leak data, but that doesn't allow everyone else to collect those data and analyze it. Yes, we are vulnerable, but that doesn't allow everyone else to stick a knife into our body.

Poetical justice for a poet :) His grand posturing was worth nil, he wasn't interesting enough to have anything done about him.

Most climate sceptics have no real insight in the actual science behind the climate debate. That's why.
So we have (as we can use 10 fingers) the gigantic key length of slightly more than 3 bits.

I am pretty sure, terrorists and spies have sex too, so additionally, lets monitor all bedrooms.

No, they use drones, cruise missiles or military sting operations.
