Here's a page documenting how some of the forecasts from the US EIA have worked out. These big agencies aren't very on the ball, if we had oil production levels like the IEA forecast a decade ago we'd be paying $2/gal in the US now.
I'm listening to an audiobook version of Kim Stanley Robinson's AGW novel 40 Signs of Rain, published in 2004; towards the end Washington DC is flooded by Tropical Storm Sandy. Who says SF writers can't predict the future?
I was wondering about this last night. Why are the nerds at Google naming a product after a model of skin job? Are they running some kind of Voigt Kampff test on their clientele?
Driving out on the Sunset Highway a couple months back at about the halfway point from Hillsboro I passed a sign that said something about a "Tsunami Zone." The print was way too small for readability at high speed but I figured this was advertising the fact that I was entering one of Oregon's Tsunami Hazard Awareness Zones, nothing more; but I can well imagine a tourista getting the impression that tidal waves could inundate them tens of miles inland. They should make those signs oversized, like the Forest Fire Danger Level signs.
Don't bother with logic, the right wingers have no logic anymore. I say let them have there cuts, I hope he is on the east coast and suddenly wakes up to a hurricane taking out his home. It will be the 1800's all over again...good times. They can have there falling bridges, pot hole riddled streets, lead filled paint, disease riddled food and no weather satellites, I assume they wont complain as long as the rich have there tax cuts and a at least one war to justify the extra spending on the military. Me, ill be moving to Canada.
Their's a flaw in your plan somewhere. Perhaps if they're were better education there wouldn't people of such profound ignorance out their. Maybe it's all the lead in they're food.
On the 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index they're #69 out of 183 countries - only slighty ahead of China and Brazil, and behind Poland and the Czech Republic/Slovakia. They really stand out among major Western European nations here, having a corruption score more in line with the FSU and Communist bloc countries.
You should make a YouTube video about that. I bet it will get lots of comments.
Remember that lame late 70s/early 80s video technique where you'd point a camcorder into a TV monitor and get the endless recursion effect? Hey, it'd be more interesting than that YT vid that takes 571 hours to watch.
FWIW: 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index -- Results. China is #75 out of 182 countries, slightly behind Italy. They also rank better than most of Eastern Europe and any part of the FSU, again FWIW.
Where's Roland Pickabarrelofcotton or whatever his name was? Or the Duel Overhead Dawsons? Those three (two?) received an astounding amount of vitriol, deserved or otherwise. Seemed like (the?) Dawson(s?) did an enormous amount of contribution, too, so I figured they'd be likely to show up at this Celebrity Roast or whatever this is all about.
Never figured out if Mike Dawson was also kdawson, or his evil twin, or very poor nom de plume. Noticed a "Mike Dawson" posting over at the Oil Drum of late, have thought about asking him "Are you Gay? Are you a" well you know the rest.
Slashdot Mirror
The Weather Channel came up with an interesting abbreviation for their Breaking Weather System: "BreWS." Isn't there a microbrew called Nor'Easter?
Won't someone think of the breadfruit?
Well, I agree with the author. Tech is a malignant leech on society, unlike wholesome industries such as finance or insurance.

Don't mod me down, bro!

I thought we killed birds with wind turbines? Or was that cats and plate glass windows?
Slashdot. News for hosers. Stuff that matters, eh?

It made me think of the flat top versions of Pac Man or Galaga.

What if an insane person makes your insanely great coffee? They could put a Snickers bar in there, for God's sake!
Mad Tv - IPad - YouTube.
Try whitehouse.com. Not much going on there these days either.

In all seriousness, I read this headline initially as a story about phones inspiring ever-increasing amounts of smirky posing.

You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.

I went to high school with that guy. Engraves bowling trophies for a living. What a mook.
Not that kind of bush.
How do you know they didn't send men to the moon to create fake photos of a studio? It goes that deep. That's what she said.
How about a Most Dangerous Game Show? I'd buy that for a Sackville!
