I mean literally, humans were put on this Earth by God in present form less than 10,000 years ago.
"58% actually view them as obstructionists"
I wonder what the percentage was back when Bush was president and the Democrats were blocking every nominee he had, especially Eric Estrada (and they were blocking him for reasons of racial pandering, not even over a real issue!).
I like the idea of government-funded development open source software.
Not for charity, not Stallman's open source tax, but when the resulting software fulfills a specific government requirement.
This way the tax dollars don't just go to some company in the form of licenses, but the results of the government spending are given back directly to the people in the form of code and a (hopefully) better free application for them to use.
"The forest cover in the U.S. has actually increased in the last 100 years - mostly due to farm abandonment in the East and fire suppression in the West."
Forests covered about half the land before settlement, now about a third.
But the amount of forests have been going up in the last decade. One reason is because most of the forests belong to the evil logging industry, and they have an economic incentive to expand forestation if they want to expand their businesses. Today we have about as much forest as we did 100 years ago.
The advent of the automobile and other forms of transport, plus better farming techniques, also helped spread the forests, since we don't need so much land dedicated to feeding us and our livestock.
It usually has to do with the parts around the engine. Lotus' initial quality control isn't the greatest, and they've put some parts where they shouldn't in the past.
As far as the engines, Lotus is famous for tricking out existing engines, from the ancient Fords to GM in the Opel Omega to the modern Toyotas in your Exige dream. They've even gone ethanol for that in testing.
As opposed to the recent recipient, he would have actually done something positive in the world at the time of nomination, which is in line with the purpose of the Prize.
The first time the government taxed or band something for our own good was what sealed our fate. This is a true slippery slope, and nothing was off limits once the government realized the people would let them do it.
Step 1: Run a campaign of demonization to convince the sheeple Step 2: Tax or ban Step 3: Repeat with another product or activity
So you fans of the anti-smoking legislation have only your own ignorance to blame when the government comes after your soda, ice cream, Big Macs or anything else you don't like.

I can't go above 3,000 feet. I demand that all airlines pressurize to 3,000 feet to accommodate me.
I had excessive commenting drilled into me in college. It's one of the things I've had to unlearn.
The image looks like the production image, but with the various tools installed and a somewhat more liberal group policy.
And they are admins. They have access to the development network too.
But those systems are shut out of the production network.

You will find that methodology within the file.
According to the emails we read that definition appears to include "Data that does not agree with our hypothesis."
Extremely large swaths of land have been turned back to forests because they are no longer needed to grow crops to feed us and our livestock.
Urbanization is only about three percent of the US area, while farmland is a lot more, yet continually shrinking.
There are multiple factors, http://www.nationalatlas.gov/articles/biology/a_forest.html
"The forest cover in the U.S. has actually increased in the last 100 years - mostly due to farm abandonment in the East and fire suppression in the West."
What are they, balloons?
The carbon stays until the wood is burned or decomposes.
Cities BTW took up very little of the forested land.
Lots of fast-growing trees suck up more CO2 than ancient forests.
But they are the forest industry, so they must be evil.
Depending on your timeframe.

This seems to be more of a fun way to give to charity than the guilt-driven indulgence scam that is carbon offsets.
Sounds exactly like the AGW movement.
Somalia rocks!
There's training, equipment and station maintenance, and the various public relations/education events.
Page 1 has "George Bush looks like a monkey," and Bush eating a kitten and giving the finger.
Only 9 of the 21 results are regular photos, the rest being meant to criticize or make fun of Bush.
And Google takes action over one Michelle Obama photo?
Talk about double standards.
You forget the massive PR campaign being waged on the side of the GW proponents.
Al Gore's been running around publicizing his new book in advance of Copenhagen.
You know, that book with the massive scientific impossibilities in the picture of what the Earth would look like due to GW.
The GW crowd said that bad year a few years back was because of GW and then *poof*, not much in the area of hurricanes for years.
In these light years I haven't been hearing "The lack of hurricanes is because of GW."
I haven't been hearing "GW theory falsely predicted more and stronger hurricanes."
I have heard things along the lines of "Some GW proponents predicted through a misunderstanding of GW."
You know what that reminds me of? How the Jehova's Witnesses explain away their failed prophesies of doom.

Finland: 338,424 square kilometers
United States: 9,826,675 square kilometers
29 times the area to cover, and that includes wiring Alaska and Hawaii.

Everybody will know when I've taken a dump.
I want a sensor next to my ass to tweet whenever I fart, too.
And the ladies will love my tweet-enabled erection sensor.
The game wouldn't last too long.
