Correlation is no proof for causation, but without correlation causation can not exist. To scream causation simply requires some proof than a simple correlation. Since we haven't got a spare ecosystem to test on we have to rely on models, which are inherrently simplified and thus wrong to some level.
While the knowledge correlation != causation is cruicial to evaluating almost anything, the math skillz you'd require are almost useless to, for example, a road worker. The road worker simply needs to know he doesn't understand everything. I'd join the idiots to stop ya, because you are an idiot in your own private way (as am I. All humans are idiots outside their field since we started specialising in the stone age.)
About the size of an aircraft carrier seems perfect as counterweight to a space elevator. To bad we're years to late to get it to the correct orientation and velocity. To "capture" an asteroid you need to nudge it to the right place.
No. The spammers have the lists with the emailadresses. Carbonite paid them to send spam and gave them a list of emailadresses they shouldn't send to (their customers and the people who have opted-out). This doesn't mean they have opened any documents on the customers' accounts, but they have done something else that's inexcusable: they gave a verified list of emailadresses to spammers and they paid spammers.
Yeah, but if they have a competent legal department it would laugh at the marketeers who cooked it up. The EU would fine them for something like 10-20% of their annual revenue (or disalow the sales of MS Windows 8 in EU).
And in the end. If the PC manufacturers decide to disable the option of installing another OS they are not allowed to sell their shit in the EU. PC manufacturers still have to give you a discount if you don't want MS windows on your system, although they do tend to make it difficult (and they do tend to put it on there anyways, but you don't have to pay for it). Anti-monopoly rules ya know.
Assuming that is correct (haven't read the bible. I have it, but I haven't gotten around to reading it, just like the Quran): The church doesn't worship thruth. They seem to dispise it. They tried to hide things like priests raping little boys. This leads me to a Ghandi quote: "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
Wouldn't the military be more interrested in something durable? Something like the Motorola Defy? Don't think most devices would like how a soldier would treat them (no offence. Mud/dust/water is not something you can always avoid).
As it is: assuming smart people get an education and start a carreer (wich is normal in most of the developed world) they postpone getting kids, sometimes indefinately. Therefore stupid people have more time to procreate and thus they will on average have more children. Ergo: stupid is an evolutionary advantage.
I see it as a nice way to get some extra money. I'd be interrested in the guy's exit strategy. Perhaps he stored some radioactive material to show an temperature increase for a while. There will not be 1 MW, so he can claim he needs to optimise his design (and get some more funding). How the hell did he convince anyone to fund a cold fusion reactor anyways?
Just allow the pilots to aim for the laser. Evolution should breed these morons out./yoke Flying a plane should still be safer than riding a car if each and every pilot would actually do this, but I suspect there would be some complaining...
A real dog is large enough to be petted while the owner is standing. Smaller dogs are just misformed yapping hamsters/cats (select to your dislike). Some terriers cheat because they jump so much that they are more above "hand level" than beneath it. I am 1.96m with long legs and for me a german shepherd is about the smallest canine wich is a real dog.
First time I saw it, and I found it a bit redundand. Like a rock thrown into your face with a note on it "This hurts". The post was quite clearly sarcastic, if seen in conjunction with it's parent. Poe's law, however, is invoked with each sarcastic remark. It even extends beyond/s/sacrcasm and ~, for there will be those who do not understand it or are to angry by the time they reach it (assuming a large enough public). Always remember: an infinite publy contains one infinitely stupid person and an infinite amount of morons.
The rules should be written by the user. The reward should be defined by a variable energy price (lower cost when there's a lot of it).
There should be a way of defining wich power companies "cheat" the system by setting the variable price to "as high as possible" like a couple of ranges (IE: half the average price, three quarters, exacly the average, one and a half, two times) and a law that the company has to show all this data on the bill. Most people will not be able to make heads or tails of it, but the few who can will keep the companies in order by talking with others and posting it on the internet (assuming you can switch power companies as easily as I can in the Netherlands: no downtime allowed, usually it's fixed with an hour or so of work. The new company can do everything.)
If a smart grid were able to switch some devices based on simple rules the devices could only be on while there is much power. IE:
If there is a shitload of power, the freezer will cool if it's warmer than -26 C
If there is enough power the freezer will cool if it's warmer than -18 C
If there is not enough power the freezer will only cool if it's warmer than -5 C.
These projects have started and they might just save us, for they wil concentrate the usage of power on the peak supply moments. I am just weirded out on why the US's outdated grid is the base for this. In the Netherlands everyone who needed a new power meter also gained an internet connection for years (albeit one they can't use). This data channel could be used to send the data to the home and a different power meter with some relays could do the rest.

Yeah, and it's also small with all those toolbars. I need a new PC to have a larger browsing segment on IE again.

He simply found out the plants didn't really work without sun.
Christianity worships truth

Woosh.
He is saying his videocard doesn't have enough power to be usefull for this. He's complaining his Mac Mini's videocard sucks.

The paper is common enough (and easily to hide) but the liquid oxygen required to make it do something resembling an explosion is difficult to hide.
If your not in good shape, you don't last very long!
Rule #1: Cardio
That gives a whole new reason for the name Killfish.
Hold your breath
Or the Piano wire suicide
I am sorry. I did mis that. I simply assumed it was a scam due to the "cold fusion" in the title, wich is usually correct. This gives me hope.
That's spam that pays. They only look for spam that doesn't pay.

We're whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.
This is just the fecies of space whales. They gotta poop to ya know!
