My step-son thought the same after formal training in Photoshop, interestingly I had a copy of Photoshop Essentials installed so I had him demonstrate some routine editing tasks in PS Essentials, I then did the same thing in GIMP much faster than easier than he did in Essentials. Then for a kicker I did the same editing tasks in Essentials and again was faster and easier than the way he was taught; just learn the keyboard shortcuts and 90% of the time you will not care where they hit that stupid button.
The way the premises worked was it was observed that epileptics had a lower incidence of schizophrenia,and epileptics had seizures. So they tried electrically induced seizures as a treatment for schizophrenia and it didn't work. Well it didn't work as a treatment, but it was a very strong negative reinforcement for inappropriate behavior. Eventually it was discovered through serendipity that it was effective for severe depression, that was about the time public opinion about ECT was it was equivalent to medieval torture (which it was in most cases) and the first medications for depression came online. ECT was relegated to the treatment of last resort where it could be found at all.
The point is any warming due to GHG's is 60% water vapor, 1 - 30% - 10% = 60%. With a climate sensitivity of 1.2, doubling CO2 to 780 ppm is only going to raise the Earth's temp by 1.2C; water vapor is King here. Water Vapor is also lighter than air so it rises, taking boat-loads of heat into the lower troposphere above most of the CO2.

According to the Times-Argus, S.199 and H.527 would “revoke the philosophical exemption, leaving parents with the choice of either administering the shots or finding alternative schooling options for their children. Both bills retain the religious and medical exemptions, which combined accounted for fewer than 50 opt-outs in 2010.”
The point of Roe v. Wade was the privacy of competent adults giving informed consent for a life changing medical procedure, something a two year old at the pediatrician's office can't do.
I wonder why a SCADA system needs a direct connection to the wild Internet. Surely it wold be better to have a separate interface system connected to the Net, which one could upgrade as needed, sending commands to an isolated SCADA system using a protocol other than IP? That way, IP sent over the Internet can never under any circumstances reach the vulnerable system.
Its would be easier to use "IANA-reserved private IPv4 network ranges, 24-bit block (/8 prefix, 1 × A) 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255, 20-bit block (/12 prefix, 16 × B) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255, 16-bit block (/16 prefix, 256 × C) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255" or Unique local address (IPv6), block fc00::/7, none of those addresses are internet routable, without a NAT; the "separate interface" is called a Bastion Host.
Kernel Maintainers are usually pretty good about bug reports, in fact people are often assigned to maintain previous versions to groom them for a more current future assignment. Sometimes a Distro will back-port a feature from a higher version to a previous kernel, which will be unsupported by the Official version. Glib 2.0.1 was released on Mar 29, 2002, change that now and they'll drive a wooden stake through your cold heart and burn your undead corpse in its coffin, any bugs from 10 years ago either have workarounds or is considered a "feature" and any fix would likely cause more problems than leaving it broken.
Oh it's not a complete lie, they take the most sensitive sensors that QA can find, expose it, run massive computer enhancements on the image and compare the results to a film that was obsolete 30 years ago; wash, rinse repeat, tweeking everything to make them look the best and publish the results.Production sensors Vs. a modern film, not as much of a slam-dunk.
That another area where the study seems nonsensical, it assumes that every exposure is equivalent, the newer films are almost as fast as the original sensors, and some of the subjects, being as old as 79, could easily been exposed be equipment a century old containing rotary telephone exchange technology of counting pulses with mechanical relays.
Usually the machine you think of as the "decades-old X-ray machine" isn't discarded and isn't insanely expensive; a new X-ray can be had in the $1.2 - 2.5K range. The magic sauce is the film, the people in the study, as old as 79 were likely X-rayed with the very old and slow C speed film, new film E and F speed is much faster alowing reduced exposure; changing to a faster film is trivial. Next comes the Phosphor storage screen, used like film, but laser scanned and digitalized, way faster than film but costs in the neighborhood of $30-40K, plus client and server computers. CCD sensors are next, they go in your mouth, usually have a USB cable from the sensor to the computer.
All of those film X-Rays are going to go away sooner or later, new offices are pretty much digital, and the older offices will find themselves in the EPA's cross-hairs sooner after mercury amalgam is killed, silver is a toxic heavy metal too.
Yeah ironic isn't it, the type of dental radiographs that people who are paranoid of radiation exposure are most likely to insist on, is shown in a Cohort Study, which are infamous for finding false associations, to be the one more likely to cause brain cancer! Yet a FMX, Full Mouth X-ray which includes at least two Bitewings doesn't. My Magic Eight Ball says "People who show up at the Dentist's office with an acute symptomatic tooth that is leaking bacterial toxins into their blood streams are also;
More likely to get Menigiomas,
More likely to need an exquisitely painful root canal,
More likely to have a heart attack,
More likely to get type 2 diabetes, Than people how receive routine dental care.
What so hard about it 1 Farmer grows corn, 2 Farmer sprays crop with imidacloprid to control earwigs 3 Corn crop contains traces of imidacloprid. 4 Corn syrup made from corn contains traces of imidacloprid 5 Apiarist feeds bee Corn syrup not knowing about imidacloprid contamination 6 worker bees lose the ability to navigate 7. Hive collapses due to loss of foraging worker bees It hasn't got anything GMO corn, or the vileness of HFCS. If I kept bees, I'd change them to beet or cane sugar, the benefit of avoiding the imidacloprid contamination is just a no-brainer.
How do you positively validate the identity of a parent in a household where the student is the most computer literate (and perhaps the only English speaker), thus responds to all of the parent's email? Give the parent a secureID dongle and hope they don't share the PIN with their much more computer savvy child?
You say that like the darling little tykes have not ever forged their parents signature on a school document.
The Lewis Cass Intermediate School District (ISD) is incorporated in the state of Michigan. ISDs function as regional service centers to provide special education, instructional services, and career technical education coordination for local school districts.
Lewis Cass ISD currently employs more than 175 persons. Its geographic coverage encompasses approximately 487 square miles and includes most of Cass County and small portions of Berrien, St. Joseph and Van Buren counties in lower southwest Michigan. Four local school districts: Cassopolis, Dowagiac, Edwardsburg, and Marcellus, as well as the county's private and parochial schools depend on the Lewis Cass ISD for the provision and coordination of general and specialized services.
Almost 8,000 students, enrolled in pre-kindergarten through 12th grades, represent the primary consumers that the ISD incorporates into its strategic

These passengers are flying to the US, regardless of their final destination. As such they will likely be in a plane full of US citizens, over US cities. I suspect that in all these cases the plane will land in the US before continuing to their destination.
Direct flights that do not enter US Airspace would not be affected.
Are you sure?; the article
New rules require British Airways and other airlines flying to certain airports outside America to submit passengers' personal data to US authorities. The information is checked against a "No Fly" list containing tens of thousands of names. Even if the flight plan steers well clear of US territory, travellers whom the Americans regard as suspicious will be denied boarding. Planning a trip to Canada or the Caribbean? US Immigration may have other ideas...
doesn't seem to back that up. It's highly possible the a liberal British tabloid might be sensationalize something more reasonable, or at least making one of the TSAs outrageous intrusive hare-brained ideas even more outrageous and intrusive than it is.
That's another problem with wind turbines, you have to build up to the data-plate capacity for the peak output for your electrical infrastructure yet the more typical output is 1/4 to 1/3 of that.

Your making the mistake of expect an AGW alarmist to actually understand the basics of the science they say is settled.
In a perfect world Biological Parents would be make competent, informed consent, in our world it's a your millage may vary kind of thing.
You mean like child neglect or reckless endangerment?
