  5. Re:He wasn't arrested for the criticism. on Teenager Arrested In England For Criticizing Olympic Athlete On Twitter · · Score: 1

    i think threatening to drown someone is much more a lock in terms of 'menacing', compared to saying 'you let your father down' being 'obscene' or 'indecent'.

  6. Re:He wasn't arrested for the criticism. on Teenager Arrested In England For Criticizing Olympic Athlete On Twitter · · Score: 1

    threatening to drown someone may seem like ridiculous banter, but the police may take it seriously at least to start.

    i think it's likely that the police really took account of the more threatening message(s) rather than the ones that merely criticized.

  7. Re:He wasn't arrested for the criticism. on Teenager Arrested In England For Criticizing Olympic Athlete On Twitter · · Score: 1

    just because the law is broad enough that a threat doesn't need to be made does not mean that any and all arrests under the law are made over non-threatening messages.

    exactly.

    According to the Guardian, another (since deleted) tweet threatened Daley with drowning, but the law doesn't require threats of violence for an arrest to be made.

    gee, ya think that maybe the death threat itself is what got the cops involved? just possibly?

    i guess watt's work also explains why satellite data shows warming consistent with land-based measurements. cause shut up, that's why.

    so i guess we've entered the third stage of denial, admitting it's real and human-caused yet arguing that we don't know if it's going to be a problem or not.

    'thinking slavery would soon be dead' does not mean 'thinks blacks and women will have the vote'.

  12. Re:No national governmental role in education on Obama Wants $1 Billion For "Master Teachers Corps" · · Score: 1

    uh, yes it is. the constitution as written gave states the ability to determine voting rights. that's why some states allowed women the vote before the constitution was amended as to that end.

    our founding fathers never envisioned that blacks and women would ever have the right to vote. times have changed.

  15. well on Earth, Night Glow, Aurora and Atmosphere (Video) · · Score: 2

    "A good photograph is one that sparks a question." Since this video runs at 30 (really 29.97) frames per second, and it's about 290 seconds long, that's close to 8700 questions.

    better yet, since a picture is worth a thousand words this video is the longest novel on earth.

  17. Re:HFCS is POISON (FTFY) on The Mathematics of Obesity · · Score: 1

    sucrose is made up of glucose and fructose, 50/50. the moment it hits your stomach acids sucrose breaks down, and the rest is taken care of in the small intestine.

    a small amount of real sugar and an equal amount of hfcs are essentially identical this way. however, you eat so much sugar that your stomach can't handle all of it and the extra gets shunted to the intestines, that's where the two become different, because hfcs is already 'broken down', whereas your small intestine can regulate the breakdown via the enzyme sucrase.

    that being said, if the sugar you drank was processed (say, real-sugar coke), it's probably already been broken down during processing in the factory and is basically identical to 50/50 hfcs. make lemonade out of simple syrup that's been cooked in a pot (especially with a pinch of citric acid) and you may as well have used corn syrup instead.

  18. Re:Even a broken clock on Rand Paul Has a Quick Fix For TSA: Pull the Plug · · Score: 1

    I suspect the average 19th Century American would be shaking their head at us wondering how we let blacks and women have equal rights.

    only a white guy would point to the 19th century as an example of a free society.

  19. he didn't say that graphene includes sp3 hybridized C atoms as in diamond. he said that both carbon and silicon form diamond lattices, which makes Si more similar to C than other elements like lithium, sodium etc. this is true. Si forms diamond cubic crystals.

    but that's a case of the federal government against an individual. according to you the government should always lose a court martial on account of the rights of an individual.
