I was talking about a major policy change, like deciding to be anti-abortion and flipping to pro-abortion. Or anti-GM Bailouts to pro-GM bailouts. That's not a trivial change that happens in less then 12 months.
Yes but changing your mind is a slow process, not something that happens in less than a year. Or worse: State one position, switch to position two, and then go back to the first position again. That's just saying whatever you think the voters want to hear to win votes. Or worse: Indecisive.

Juvenile. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." Time to put-away the insults.
You mean they're lying to get elected. Yes I am aware of that possibility; especially since both men have a history of flip-flopping. No need for the insult against my intelligence.
And Obama has already demo'd that he is as bomb happy. Continue the Irag/Afghan War even though he promised to end them by Dec 31, 2009. And then start new wars: Bomb Yemen. Bomb Libya. Bomb Iran is next (unless somebody stops him).
According to future President Romney, our chief bad guy is Russia. What a dip! Both him and Obama are trying to revive the cold war (probably because it's profitable). Oh and bomb Iran. Looks like I won't be voting for either of these tools come November.
You also committed a logical fallacy of using an ad hominem attack.....'You act like the Nazi Goebbels therefore you must be as dumb as him.' Not a valid debate method and does [not] invalidate my original post about Mann and how he has been caught, multiple times, fudging data or massaging his equations.
Godwin (comparing me to a Nazi). Your post is invalidated as nothing but FUD..... if I wanted to hear that shit I'd tune-in Glenn Beck (compares democrats to nazis).

You probably also believe the government's lies about Iran trying to nuke the U.S. - Scientists are human beings. - Human beings lie. - Especially when there are rewards for lying.
"A social network of authorships in temperature reconstruction is described of at least 43 authors with direct ties to Mann by virtue of having coauthored papers with him. The findings from this analysis suggest that authors in the area of paleoclimate studies are closely connected and thus âindependent studiesâ(TM) may not be as independent as they might appear on the surface."
It's possible to scam the Ebay scalpers by simply saying, "Ticket not received." (Or if the ticket is tracked, then return an empty envelope and then ask for a refund.) Google could do this very easily to recover tickets from scalpers while depriving those scam scalpers of profit.
And yes I think scammers deserve to be reverse-scammed. I've done it to many of them -- especially those who claim a game or video is "new" or "like new" but then deliver scratched-up junk that is really USED not new. i.e. Lying scumbags. I keep the game but get back the money (minus $2 for shipping). Teach the scammer that lying is costly.

Not just this story but other stories about censorship of the internet & television channels, indicate to me that free speech is no longer a right in the UK. That's a shame because that's where the right was first re-born in the modern world.
What we need is less people (i.e. less babies). All of these problems like scarce energy, high pollution, and dwindling water supplies wouldn't exist if the North American population was only 16 million (1800). Or even 85 million (1900).
Agreed. Replacing oil with a plant-based fuel (ethanol, biodiesel) makes a lot more sense. And use solar roofs on homes for electricity. Live off what the sun gives us, as our ancestors did, rather than the dwindling supply of dead plant matter.
BTW I think fuel cell cars are a deadend. They burn hydrogen, which last time I checked does not exist in nature. You can't just drill a hole and find hydrogen there.
My state government just spent millions removing dams, in order to restore the natural ecology of the streams and rivers, and protect the Bay. Now another distant government wants to put the dams back.
Grrrr. This could be titled, 'Politicians waste money tearing dams up, and then putting them back.'
>>>Fantasy is just scifi with magic instead of tech
Which is why most fantasy is trash. It is impossible for the story to happen in the real world. I prefer stories based upon science that might, someday, become reality. (Like Gattaca for example.)
>>>Are HR people supposed to understand how the tech behind searches work now?
Yes.
If you are so stupid that you are rejecting good candidates based-upon your flawed google search, then go work in a business that doesn't require technical hiring. Like McDonalds or Walmart.
From what I've read it was the dispersant chemicals (frothy gunk) that caused most of the damage. The oil by itself would have eventually been eaten by bacteria, and recycled back into the ecosystem (as happens with all dead plant matter).
The president cannot dissolve any agency created by the Laws passed by Congress. He cannot dissolve the FAA or HUD or DHS. It's his job to execute those laws. He COULD tell Janet Napolitano to stop acting like Big Brother though, since he is her boss.
I'd like to have that job. Bet it's real easy. Just sit in your air-conditioned cublicle & toss stuff down the "memory hole".
"In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right a small pneumatic tube for written messages; to the left a larger one for newspapers; and in the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes."

Smithsonian doesn't charge. (But maybe they should start, to help fund their expenses.) Like other government-owned institutions charge.

The government routinely shares information with its defense contractors. Where that information comes from? The corporation does not ask.

Good question. Isn't Android a linux OS? Why does it have exploits then? (puzzled).
Well nobody's hacked my phone because my phone is dumb. It makes calls & accepts texts, and that's about it. It's a Nokia "Shorty OS"

Good point. I'll go round and start smashing windows. Then run for Congress on my exemplary job-creation record. ;-)
