But the actor sees little reason to take personal responsibility for it. Hell, if the actor takes a moral high ground instead of playing by the rules, they will lose their job, and someone else will play by the rules in their place. Even the CEO must follow rules - maximise profit for shareholders or you're out. Morality is inversely proportional to profit. It's an unfortunate part of capitalism and why regulation in all areas is so important.
Sorry for not being clear, but it was by no means in support of suppression. It was directed at the way people are taking this at pure face value without really thinking. Twitter is promoting freedom of speech as best it can - by censoring, the service stays active; by allowing the rest of the world to see what is censored, gross neglect of human rights will not go unchallenged. The news make can make it back in the country through other channels, but twitter is critical as a distribution medium, and this is aa close as you're going to get within oppressive regimes.
Every scientist dreams of publishing in the journal "Wall Street", known for their strict and reputable peer review process. But more importantly, isn't ocean acidification, NOT the warming itself, the most immediate threat to the ecosystem? And this idea that the models don't fit beyond the bounds of the plots shown to the public has been argued and debunked over and over again.

I don't have any supporting evidence, but I assume our rating systems are pretty similar to those in the US and UK, simply to make the process of importing a whole lot easier since we have pretty similar "moral standards" (based on the judgement of a few geriatric goons). It means developers don't have to consider Australia "special" and decide whether they'll make a special version just for us or consider us insignificant marketshare.

Everyone loves boobies, and to find out that frequent examination by a certified member of your peers could be good for one's health? Praise the Lawd! We must spread the good word of the Medical Bible.
The plan being to promote drugs extensively until we achieve a generation of humans that are just like "eh... it doesn't really do anything for me anyway"? Now why didn't I think of that...

Still partially selfish... People love the idea of being recognised for crazy things most won't do. Same as Guiness World Record holders.
Er, sorry, didn't mean to say linear. Fahrenheit is linear too, and completely different. It's parallel; a fixed offset.
It's a linear scale, buddy. For that order of magnitude, the 273 degree offset is completely irrelephant.

It was still their technology that formed the basis of future development. As long as that technology is non-trivial, it's worth fighting for.
How did they narrow down the timescale of the events to be so specific without any samples?
Detected, not postulated.
My sincerest apologies, officer.
Not in my experience. Most of the people I've known from China did already knew about it before they came here.

Thank you. Glad SOMEONE in the world is still thinking rather than "DAR SENSURESHIP??? I DUN LIKE DAT".
(Sorry to the guy above who mentioned the ocean first. I had one hell of a time submitting this from my phone, so I didn't see it)

Apparently Timothy Lord is one of the Slashdot editors. Shameless "I'm famous" plug...
Stuff that matters.

I think the message is more "Fuck with us and people die" rather than "We will conquer the Earth". Just my 2c.
Do all of us a favour and go out with a bang? He/she should die as some kind of entertainment / service to society? Humans...
And if they add effective killswitch genes.... wouldn't that make it a little too easy for terrorists to target the food supply?
