Calling me a troll is just another way of saying "please do not disturb by belief system, I made my mind up already".
I just used popular mechanics as the link, not the source. the source is the peer reviewed paper it is based on because the raw NASA release was unreadable. Refute the findings of the paper, then attack those findings. "Attacking the messenger" is a common logical fallacy.
As for your last statement, you must be joking. (The hypothesis that the sun has no effect is laughable on it's face) Controls are not 50/50 unless you are doing a statistical H0 test, or 90% if you are doing an H1 test. That is not the standard here, that standard is used for statistical analysis of a dataset where you have no control to compare as is the case in most non-scientific fields.
Here we have a classic control (mars) plus a variable item (humans). The climate with and without the variable have the same behavior, therefore it is not the variable. QED.
They have done that. Back in the 50's to 70's they were worried about climate COOLING and considering dusting the icecaps with coal dust. More recently:
I have no argument against actual global warming. In fact, there is very good evidence that we are warming from a control source outside our ecosphere: Mars Ice Caps.
They have been observed and recorded longer than our own, since Newton. The trend is that the ice caps are melting, therefore the temperature must be rising.
No humans... and the ice is melting. The evidence suggests we have been in a warming cycle that effects at least the inner planets.
Yes, but implicit in the case law is that the congress can still get the info if they can show probable cause. What they cannot do is go on a fishing expedition by demanding papers to "prove" something that they have no evidence for in the first place.
I am pretty sure you want that applied to the office, seeing how it is a fundamental right. Rarely does it come to that. Usually the papers are released after judicial review anyhow and being redacted to some degree. It is rare for the President to hold them forever. Usually they are just "lost" by the staff, ala Hillary Clinton and her lawfirm billing records.
The papers of any branch of government, Judicial, Executive or Legislative are considered protected if it is the sole responsiblity of that branch. That is implied by "Separation of Powers"
The first test case was Washington:
"In 1796, President George Washington refused to comply with a request by the House of Representatives for documents which were relating to the negotiation of the then-recently adopted Jay Treaty with Great Britain. The Senate alone plays a role in the ratification of treaties, Washington reasoned, and therefore the House had no legitimate claim to the material. Therefore, Washington provided the documents to the Senate but not the House."[2]
Also, here is the meat of the problem:
But as telecommunications--and especially the Internet--evolved, a communication between, say, Paris and Karachi, might actually be routed through the United States and thus become off-limits to government agents without a warrant.
Neither end of the conversation is privileged as they are not US citizens on US soil, but because it routed through here it is covered by FISA. (you do realize any mail you send or receive across the border can be read, don't you? Your rights end at the border)
Quite frankly, I am all for it if it expires every few years. It is a power granted in extraordinary times and it should not be perminate.
Well, in my case it would have helped. Did I leave it at the airport? In the rental car? in the car of the person who picked us up and took us to the rental place? (Where it showed up on Sunday, btw) Or at the TGI-Fridays where the wedding rehersal dinner took place? Or at the flea market where it has been rechipped and being sold?
Even saying: "It is in your house, dummy" would help.
Here is the the thing: it is smart enough to tell me about movie theater times to a one block radius as it picks the closest theater and lists it first.
Obviously, the phone knows, or it could not do that. It has an email interface, have it mail my address listed in my account and let me figure out the co-ords. How hard is that? (retorical question. It might be hard, or it might be: we never thought of that)
Exactly. Or more importantly, don't make assumptions. The article did not say it ran out of fuel, it said it lost power and thrust.
It may have lost power and thrust from hardware/software failure, not because it ran out of something. Not that spooks are the brightest people, but I would think if they were down to the last bit of fuel they would use it to de-orbit intentionally.
Yes there is. Presuming the firmware is in pristine state is a bad assumption. The firmware could have been corrupted by damage, defect, or malware, and of course intentional modification. Verifying the firmware checksum is correct is the RIGHT thing to do. When it tells you (hopefully) that it can't install and there is a problem with your iPhone, you can call in and get it checked out if you did not modify it. This way a defective/infected iPhone is fixed and not bricked. THAT is a way to build customer loyalty.
If a trojan or virus writer (no system is unhackable, it will happen someday) wanted to screw people over with iPhones he/she could do so by modifying the firmware in a unnoticable way. Then when the next update came out the ASSumption by Apple would brick the phone. Now THAT would be a customer relation nightmare depending how far the virus spread before the update.
Yes, that was what I was asking. Looks like it is all "movie" violence
So, having experienced both serious real violence and cinema there is a significant difference in my reaction to violence when I observe it.
Images of real violence repel me. I react understanding this happened to a real person and having some idea of what they are going through.
Media violence rarely produce that reaction. My guess is my reaction would be much like what you found in your study. I certainly did not come out of, say, 300, feeling bad about what happened to those people. No, I was pumped up, aggressive even.
So would your study using images of real violence done to real people have the same effect? I think it would make an interesting study, my own reaction is only anecdotal.
Man, I can't believe you still posted. Well, one good obsession deserves another. What I find so funny about you and makes it worth poking you with a stick is that you bring shit in that was never said or mentioned.
"you seem to think the squalor and the sweat shops and the child labor of the late 1800s was a nirvana of fair immigration"
Yeah, show me where I said that. You are just making shit up so it sounds good in your head. You still have not proved one bit of what you claim, trollie boy.
BTW, I walked through 5 Points when I was in NY a few months ago. My reaction was "Huh. Cool." Not "Oh shit". Life is better now, things have changed.
Blah blah blah. Give me one example that is proven to be worse than it was 10 years ago, or twenty, or under J Edgar Hoover.
Don't even try the secret NSA wiretap crap, unless you think the Democrats are in on it... and if you do, get out the tinfoil beanie.
They were given full disclosure and when they walked out they had nothing to say to the reporters other than the usual bullcrap "civil liberties and the Constitution are tossed out like so much trash."
If they had something, they would have blurted it out right there and then and really won the 2006 midterm elections.
I love the bumper sticker that says "If 911 was an inside job, you would not be talking about it."
Well, that makes more sense. So we have 2 orders of magnitude more He-3 on the moon compared to earth.
That seems worth the effort seeing how a good gold mine the yield is about 12.5 grams per tonne, or.00000125, and this is likely to be far more valuable.
The real problem is how to get it back to earth... I mean the stuff is gonna float! =)

I wonder.
I lost my cellphone this weekend, and I asked my provider: "Well, can't you track it with the built in GPS and tell me where I left it?"
Guess the answer.
So how do you get the data off if is not easily accessible by the provider?
(I entertain the possibility that they don't want to do that so I have to replace the phone)
Exactly. Or more importantly, don't make assumptions. The article did not say it ran out of fuel, it said it lost power and thrust.

Well, with that reasoning there must not be any radioactivity either, seeing how it ran out of power. Problem solved!
You don't need anything that exotic, the thruster fuel, hydrazine, is dangerous enough:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazine
Carngie, Rockefeller, Pew, Hershey etc... etc..
It is one of the hallmarks of American Capitalist (and others too, but I don't know their names) to give back when the reach the top.

Yes, most likely by Pierson's Puppeteers fleeing the Core explosion.
Yes crashes will continue, by the law that says if you make it foolproof, evolution will produce an improved fool.

I read your paper (well, parts of it were above my head, to be honest) and I had one question:
Were the sources of images (violent stimula)from media representations of real violence or dramatized violence?
I wonder if it makes a difference: real vrs. depicted violence.
OMG! They killed Kenny!
Those bastards!
http://robocoparchive.com/misc/bscene5.JPG
Really? Then can you explain why they kill swiss and Japanese tourists?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/november/17/newsid_2519000/2519581.stm
The Swiss are not US allies, they are nobodies allies.
More importantly, why do they SAY they are concerned with our freedom and establishing a world caliphate if that is not what they want?
Oh, I know, reverse psycology.
The USA says they are not interested in world domination, so they must be.
Muslims say they are interested in world domination, so they must not be.
Bizzaro world I guess.
Hienlien. Have Space Suit, Will Travel.
Just read that again the other night.
You did not read the fine article. They did a logo for Rememberance day for the Commonwealth countries.
So I guess you are not clairvoyant, Clairvoyant.
Not really, you just are not parsing it. The premise is that:
If it was, you could not talk about it.
If it was not, you could talk about it.
That would be A = A because there is no comparison.
It ignores the actual comparison, that is was and inside job and you can talk about it.
