Thanks for the informative, insightful post. You've really opened my eyes.
Without your well written expose I'd still be reading those posts. I think we're all fortunate to have someone here with your hard hitting journalistic instincts.
It will ceratainly expose your high profile hackers (that could be stealing rocket technology instead) and instantly turn the entire world against you. As a reward you'll get a low capacity computer 14 light minutes away, and some sensors that will be more usefull to you in the hands they are now.
Whether or not it's mankind's fault...take a wild guess as to who has to do something about it?
Anyways, it is mankind's fault in some sense, in another sense it's nature's for evolving humans without the ability or wherewithal to take care of shit they need to take care of.
Nature forces us to build nice houses, air conditioners, HDTVs, etc. in order to live happy satisfactory lives. It's not like beer grows on trees. Likewise, if nature dictates that we have to do something about the shit we are spewing all over the world, we do have to do something. Then again, it's probably someone else's problem.
It's not surprising that global warming deniers lie to get a free ride while others do the work to take care of the problem. It's pretty standard for leeches to pretend they aren't leeches (to themselves as well as others- they justify their behaviors so that they don't have to acknowledge the consequences).
Just so you know, I think something is going to happen. Not sure what. Probably the power of stupid will win.:D But maybe not.
Why the hell would they put super rabies in condiment bottles? I already get enough froth from the damned ketchup and mustard bottles when I first use them. Stupid researchers.
Geologists on the Big Island are taking the news more calmly since they were informed months earlier, and a much more dramatic case of magma in a geothermal well took place in Iceland in 1977...."
Yeah. So you're basically saying we have ~30 years before it begins to cause problems?
'It's kind of like playing golf on the moon â" (the sand) goes really high and far compared to what it does on Earth. When it lands it can pick up really large speeds â" even with low wind speeds â" and splash a whole bunch of other particles to keep the process going,' Jasper Kok,
So.. Usually I'd think an object landing upon the ground would exchange some of its energy with the ground, thus reducing speed (relative to the ground). Apparently on Mars, when an object lands on the ground, it can pick up really large speeds (relative to the ground)?
Does this dude work for the fringe division? I suppose I should RTFA before commenting.... not.
And no, pirates are not "stealing the profit from the lost sales".
But they are stealing the power over others that copyright holders have.
And we all know the slippery slope: one day a copyright holder will be treated the same as your average working Joe! They might actually have to live similar lifestyles and work as hard as someone who lives paycheck to paycheck.
So we really need to prevent copyright holders from loosing their power over others, otherwise they might have to put as much into society as they take out....
If the plaintiff fails to make a convincing case at any point in this sequence, then the patent is not infringed.
Additionally, if the plaintiff has only 10+ million dollars, going up against a billion+ dollar politically connected corporation, the plaintiff can be run into the ground by the legal team of the billion+ dollar corporation.
A relative of mine was given the ultimatum: settle with us (a couple million to the corporation that violated their patents), or we will drag you through the courts until you are homeless and broke.
It's (climate change) due to the fact that the density of the interstellar medium is much greater than in the past, resulting in a compressed heliosphere, creating a greenhouse effect within the heliosphere.
The interstellar medium is going to become denser for a while, which will result in an even greater compression within the heliosphere, and even greater planetary warming.
Of course you have your bandwagon "CO2 is the cause / heliosphere compression deniers". Yes, CO2 can cause greenhouse effects, but NO it does not cause them at nearly the rate that the compression of the heliosphere does.
And guess what? We don't have accurate measurements of heliosphere compression to compare with- we can test CO2, so let's blame the effect of climate change (CO2-in the past, we definitely have something to do with the current spike) not the cause (heliosphere compression, which we don't have accurate records of).
NASA tracks space debris the size of a golf ball, why didn't they see this?
Because it was not in a low-earth orbit, and space is kind of big.
I can't even see space. Pretty sure that means it's small, or maybe it's behind something big.
Wow.. if space is big, and I give you the benefit of a doubt that it is, that means that whatever it's behind is humongous. You know, since we can't see it and all that. I don't know if you can see where this is going, but yo mama so big, she blockin' out space.

Most important. A lot of superconductors are liquid helium cooled.
It's very important for certain types of scientific instrumentation. Very.

Best K()rea doesn't read /.
No it isn't.
It is the bigger pussies face to face that are the bigger dicks online.

Are you happy to see me or is that a 27" screen in your pocket?
. I don't see how you can tell.

And the $6.2B was a write down from a 2007 acquisition.
Not to mention stocks are up 2.5% after the announcement (not just the part about a $492M quarterly loss, and I use the word loss loosely).
And I was wondering how they displayed these excellent 3d images on my 2d screen.
itz ALL MANKINDZ FUALT!!!!!!11!!!BBQ!

A "disheveled, distant galaxy" and a giant black hole?
Do the voices tell you it doesn't exist?
Nah. The other day I was thinking to myself "I'm fuckin' insane". The voices told me "no you're not, you're crazy".
Send a message to the central black hole if you want to communicate with something.
It's been observing the universe for billions of years...

-- joking.. really.
Silly mortal, only Jebus runs on water.
All I could picture (when reading the OP) was Dave Chappelle's Clayton Bigby. You know, the black white supremacist.
Obviously it happens at the precise moment the earth and sun are directly aligned with the black hole at the center of the milky way.

Yeah. Why the hell did they do this with sheep first!!@#$! So what if it's more difficult to clone other mammals.

....you cane TEACH, now. Different students learn differently, and are going to understand and misunderstand different parts of the lesson..
Dude. I get it. Cane the teacher, not the student. No misunderestimuhtations here.
