Do the math. Wikipedia claims half a trillion in fossil fuel subsidies versus almost 90 billion just in renewable energy subsidies in 2011. That's not an order of magnitude, much less several orders
So the insurance companies are in on it now, taking bribes from the shadowy international group of scientists perpetrating the hoax so that they'll use climate data even though intentionally using inaccurate information would be very bad for their business.
It's not obvious that a large number of musicians having a very small slice of the pie is worse than a very small number of musicians having a large slice of the pie.
Actually... you've heard of criminals cutting off a hand (Red Dwarf) or gouging out an eye (Avengers) to thwart biometric security. Now they'll be cutting people's heads off.
What was he convicted ON? What charge? Obstruction of justice? Article doesn't sat. Lying itself can't be a crime (else every politician and lawyer would be in jail).
Ah, older article did: Dixon, 34, pleaded guilty late last year to charges of obstruction and wire fraud after federal agents targeted him in an undercover sting that was first reported by McClatchy.
Since he pleaded guilty, my sympathy level just went way down.
Wire fraud? A reference to the wires of the machine?
There was a supposedly entertaining example of this on one of the astronomy blogs a while back, but they got a takedown notice before I saw it. Changed what you heard in a music video, IIRC. Does anyone know where we can find that?
Whoa, now. While it's true that the NSA has a history of disregarding the law, it's bad to fall into the trap of believing that there's no point to creating such laws at all.
What do you want Congressman Holt do?
Demand accountability under the existing laws, and if he can't get that, impeach whoever is the head of the branch of government that runs the NSA.
That is a very poor assumption. Lots of private organizations use money unwisely, even to the point of committing outright fraud.
Education is the latest target of capitalist greed. The "reformers" you hear most about are just seeing how fast they can shovel public money into private pockets, educated children be damned.
With the NWO, it's just one scam after another. Even when each and every family that rules the NWO is worth over $1T, and some worth more than $50T, they are still wrecking the world for "moar".
Silly Pothead, the lizardmen aren't in it for the money.
Mr. Zucker says his treatment at the hands of the commission should alarm fellow entrepreneurs: 'This is the beginning. It starts with this case. If you play out what happens to me [...]
Without reference to the merits of the case, this sounds like a classic case of narcissistic paranoia.

The first one was just some fun comic space opera. Then someone started taking himself too seriously.
So what about your tin foil hat supplier. Are they in on it too?
You know, that's an industry that would really profit by pushing conspiracy theories.
And they probably provide an NSA backdoor in their hats.
There is magnitudes more money on the other side.
Do the math. Wikipedia claims half a trillion in fossil fuel subsidies versus almost 90 billion just in renewable energy subsidies in 2011. That's not an order of magnitude, much less several orders
And subsidies is the only money involved, right?

Damn liberals.
Remember this next time some businessman says he shouldn't be regulated because competition will sort everything out.
but the ad industry is worried about putting more power in the hands of large technology companies
I guess they'd be the ones to know how sleazy an industry can be.
Two attendees of the Monday meeting said the discussion was dominated by the interests of major technology firms
Fancy that.
Humping the robot's leg doesn't count.
But it might indicate that man is no longer dogs' best friend.
It's not obvious that a large number of musicians having a very small slice of the pie is worse than a very small number of musicians having a large slice of the pie.
How is this measured?
A poll might be a start...
Actually... you've heard of criminals cutting off a hand (Red Dwarf) or gouging out an eye (Avengers) to thwart biometric security. Now they'll be cutting people's heads off.
Just a trick by the NSA to collect mind-reading data.
This is remarkable, because Pofalla so far stood out with a very U.S.-friendly attitude in the debate around NSA surveillance programs.
I.e. no problem, so long as we aren't spying on him.

At least it wasn't "terrorism".
Re your subject line, I always thought the Beatles sounded like they were singing:
Back in the U-S, back in the U-S, back in the U-S-S-Ah

I recommend a "zero time pad" : if you want it secret, don't put it on a computer.
for how many chips?
Use it as a honeypot.
Christopher Hitchens wrote for Slate. But, of course, he is dead now.
Sounds like writing for Slate can be dangerous.
Your primary duty is to your child.
Yes and no. If the argument in the article is correct, taking your child out of public education is like opting out of vaccinations for your children.
A sort of inverse tragedy of the commons.
