It is perfectly normal for science to yield contradictory results. That's why when you see a study reported saying taking Garcina Cambogia yields astonishing weight loss results you don't immediately run out to the health food store to buy miracle pills. It's absolutely routine for results like this not to stand up. The problem is that journalists are too ignorant of how science works to understand this.
The problem may be the while Garcina Cambogia causes 30% more weight to be lost, 30% more of zero is still zero.
The suspicion is not as much as others can't replicate, but that the even original researchers can't replicate; and it's not the same as the old "don't get your glassware too clean" in organic chemistry either.
The same experiment has been done for 100 years, and consistently reproduces the same results. Take a sealed, transparent tank of air. Shine sunlight on it. Take the temperature. Increase the percentage of CO2 in the tank. Shine sunlight. Take the temperature. The CO2-richer air has a higher temperature.
That has never happened, even Al Gore and Bill Nye failed to replicate it. The simple fact is even at 100% CO2, the infra-red absorbance is too small to make a measurable temperature difference at the scale you are describing.
In London, overall crimes rates were not reduced in the study I read. If the goal is "move the crime to where the people we don't like live", then, sure, you might accomplish that - like much of modern policing. Otherwise, you're just moving the crime hotspots around.
So you’re trying to say we should only put cameras in Red States?
When I both started and stopped taking an SSRI there were prolonged periods where I was dizzy when turning while walking and shorter periods while driving. There were even a few instances of depersonalization and derealization, so when you feel like you're trippin', you tend to move slowly ans deliberately.
So the only countries that have increase CO2 emission since the Kyoto Protocol are now choking to death on the particulate pollution they generated along with the increase CO2 emission, and that is Trump's fault! Looks to me like Natural Selection in action and they have elected to be deselected by their own actions, evolution is a cruel mistress.
As near as I can figure out he really pissed off because gpg doesn't say "We're calculating really complex mathematical shit, we're really not frozen." then "we're not frozen, just really busy doing computer stuff that's really complicated, so don't start pounding on the keyboard until we tell you to or you'll just screw shit up"."
and finally
"start pounding on the keyboard like a chimpanzee trying to write the complete works of Shakespeare because we need some really random shit" and use the phrase "shitfest" like punctuation.
After the snowden reveal, I switched to it exclusively when communicating with a friend of mine.
The NSA is not interested in your cat videos.
But if they are encrypted, they don't know they are cat videos. One of the points of encryption, like document shredding is to "do" everything, if you only 'do' the important things the Snoops will know what is important and what isn't. Decrypting, like reassembling shredded documents is very expensive, make them spend on junk mail and cat videos and they won’t be able to afford your important stuff.

No surprise that they're all ACs.
I'm sure it would be very upsetting for the ACs if/. started tracking IPs, but I suspect that a disproportionate number of "Trolls" come from the same IPs.
The original intention of posting AC was to protect a user from reprisals who posted a comment that contained insider information pertinent to the subject, but would be embarrassing or even illegal to an employer, a government or other organizations. Now it more likely to shield trolls from being responsible for their comments, even in the vaguest of virtual sense, than it original intention.
Tracking IP's tell us nothing about an AC, but does allow law enforcement to backtrack to a location. It is entirely feasible for multiple/.ers to be behind the same NAT, and banishing an IP addy can be circumvented as easily as rebooting a cable or satellite MODEM. Tracking IP could easily have a chilling effect on a forum that long cherished a wild-west style of no-holds-barred free speech.
If being Trolled or Flamed leaves you intolerably butt-hurt, perhaps a safer-place may be more suitable to your sensitivities.
I remember when Patrick Volkerding had some serious health issues and went missing a while back; the entire Linux community reacted like member of their immediate family had disappeared.
First of all, people are going to answer Slackware even if they don't use it, because the Linux community is pervaded by a bunch of neck-bearded hipsters who liked Slackware before Slackware was cool. The reality is that they all run RedHat but are just desperate to look cool and unique.
The barb would have been sharper if the distro would have been Kubuntu instead of Redhat.
That I'll try thanks. You would think a guy that was disappointed that file manager disappeared on a clean install of windows 95 would know more about windows.
But anyway, most of the web sucks in this regard. Period. Sites are horribly designed these days - a gazillion JS dependencies, unnecessarily large images which get scaled, zero concern for mobile devices, etc.
There's a lot of gotch ya's in there, Google will give your page rank a boost (Mobilegeddon) if your site is responsive, and that pretty much means using bootstrap. Bootstrap doesn't let you define your image sizes because you'll never know, the main purpose of bootstrap is the same code that displays on a 70 inch 4K wide screen tv connected to a computer will work on an El Cheepo smart-phone and everything in between seemlessly; and that sure beats trying to code one version for computers and on for smart-phone and trying to keep them in sync. The amount of javascript is horrifying if you are hosting third party ads on your page and none of it wants to play nice. The stuff a lot of other sites is doing with PHP just boggles the mind as well, I'd like to be able to link to some sites from ours but the way they use PHP makes it impossible to do; website security seems to jump from nothing to impossible to use, with no just right in the middle.

If the journals published work with researchers who have proven themselves by doing solid replication work first, you'd see a change in attitude.
If you haven't described a technique so that "someone skilled in the arts" can understand it, your patent protection maybe voided.

Of course it has an effect, all of those CO2 starved plants on the planet are starting to flourish!
In the pavement, disguised as expansion joints.
Maria's Taqueria y Burdel already knows that shit.
Don't worry, every tire sold in North America has an RFID chip, your license plate is superfluous.
I'm waiting for my refrigerator to tell the traffic light to turn red so I don't drive past the grocery store when I'm out of milk.

I must be one of the "not necessarily", not infrequently I've gotten 10 moderations on the same comment, and it's usually when I had mod points too.

Thanks for the WARNING, when the notebookbar GUI is unavoidable, I'll go LaTeX exclusively.
Be calm and know that unlike perl, lisp is immune to the dark influence.
