Al Gore quoted the best climate scientists who predicted a hockey stick rise in temperatures that never happened. That isn't in dispute. The paper is about why those models may have been so wrong. Or did you not catch on that they had to change the name of the crisis from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change." ?
Again, you attack the messenger, this time its Breitbart news site. Which fact did Soon get wrong? Which fact did Breitbart get wrong?
Please cite the law or ethics rule that Soon broke, with citation.
Soon's paper is ethical and peer reviewed. Attack the science if you can... but I'm guessing you can't. Most global warming "deniers" don't deny the data -- carbon dioxide is rising, but simply the (dire) predictions and proposed solutions.
Drones and all additional border enforcement act as a deterrent. Arrests are not the goal-- they're a undesired byproduct. The goal is to turn them away before they cross the border or discourage them from making the attempt.
That is one theory. The other theory is that there is no desire to turn around anyone and we're allowing 100,000 mostly unskilled and often dangerous people into the country every month. Take a look at the crime statistics and see what ignoring the border does to innocent citizens.
Soon's paper was fine. No lies, no fabricated data... And he attempts to explain the obvious elephant in the room: Why Climate Models Run Hot, which they obviously do.
Sitting through 3 years of foreign language class was a utter waste of time for me. Would have gladly done double the amount of computer programming, physics, or electronics. (All of which I was also able to take, thankfully.) Three extra STEM classes in lieu of foreign language would be a big boost going into college and/or the job market. Computer Science departments could give a rip whether their students puede hablar español.
The trick is to make the courses relevant and interesting for the diverse abilities of teachers and students.
Support is fine until it comes out of a paycheck.. then, no flipping way.
Watch what happens when Walmart shoppers are asked to pay higher prices for higher wages:

Advocating death against a person or group is not protected free speech. The problem is the hundreds of millions of muslims cheering for the few million or so muslims that are actively engaged in jihad. Islam is 1000x worse than the KKK ever was and yet the multicultural left (who claim to care about liberal values) are apologists.
Since I typically don't watch the same movie twice, I think streaming video content is a no-brainer. And I love Pandora... but if you like listening to a single album at a time, where song B always comes after song A, a personal collection is still the way to go. And not that difficult or expensive. I have a system that works well-- QNAP (or Synology) NAS, with media server, and Sonos. I use SuperSync to sync everything from my iTunes accounts to the NAS and can sync to and from that from anywhere. But the music space is a bit fractured, and there are a lot of competing solutions, with no clear winners.
Seems keeping something dry would be easier than requiring a 150 giga-pascal environment, but I am not a scientist.:) Was hoping someone would clarify nuances of the two "records".
Awesome indeed. Hacking 68000 machine code back in the day was good times. Anyone remember TMON? And before 68K, there was 6809s... I might be dating myself.
Anxiety over being late (for work, or for a plane) is a common concern.. this will help alleviate it.
On the freeways where I live are large signs that show transit times to various points-- those are very accurate and very nice to have.If you're concerned about privacy and tracking, don't wear a device that can track you.
But if you're in an airport, you can assume your name and travel details will be reported to the government. Even if your local coffee shop wants to know how many you stop in for a latte, who cares? If you care, wear a tinfoil hat or unplug.
No, read the report (before spouting off.) The measuring equipment was not supplied by the inventor. The test was partly funded by the Swedish energy research consortium, Elforsk. The inventor may have had an opportunity to swap out the fuel--but it was running continously at 1100- then 14000C, so it would have difficult to do without causing a blip in the temperature data. The reactor was also a welded closed system and was cut open at the end of the 32 days with all team members present, including Rossi. Yes, maybe he pulled a sleight of hand trick at that moment.. but that doesn't make much sense if it was already agreed that the reaction was beyond chemical.... and could not have happened, even if its entire weight was made out of gasoline, Lithium ion batteries, or TNT.
The whole point of the test is that it ran for 32 days and generated more energy (1.5MWh) than can be generated by ANY known energy device its size. A black box test that weighs less than the equivalent generated amount of gasoline, super capacitors, Lithium ion batteries, etc. is a modern day miracle. A black box test protects the inventor and shows off the device if the experiment is run properly. The parameters were defined properly.. But measuring the heat from the device may have been badly blown. Remains unresolved.
Because despite what you might believe, the process hasn't been debunked. There are theories on why it might be fake, and theories on how it could be real. It is still in the realm of magic. If it works... Imagine a world without global warming stories on slashdot.
A black box test doesn't need to reveal how something works-- only the inputs and outputs must be competently measured and compared. Theory is also irrelevant in a black box test. Fire worked just fine before the theory of it was known.
There WAS a thermocouple backing up the readings. But I agree it wasn't a perfect test. A real dummy test beyond 500C was a glaring oversight. The dummy test should have been done with a similar reactor using high efficiency resistive and inductive heaters.
Read the report. The names are at the top.

Unfortunately, Levi is a long time acquaintance of Rossi, so his independence is hard to justify.

Billions and billions of dollars have been squandered on this boondoggle. No wonder so many people don't accountability.
What about shots to a pregnant person?

Agree. TaxAct kicks ass. Should of hired them to implement the Health Exchange website.
Yeah, that would suck to change NASA's primary mission away from "Muslim Outreach". http://www.csmonitor.com/Scien...

Hypocrisy on the net, in politics, or in real life is about the most common "scandal" you can find. But its fun click-bait.

Don't forget to ban volcanoes too. And breathing.
