"The fact that she wants to get guns off the streets is the main thing. If the US follows in Australia's lead, it will bring the country out of the Wild West and into the modern world. "
So that we can be defenseless, as the Europeans are now finding out to their chagrin? At least Australia is an island, with no permeable land borders or with the whole ISIS guerrilla army just a few island hops away.
"But female rats didn't, and even the rats that developed tumors lived longer than rats not exposed to the radiation."
So we're talking about correlation so vague that it's hard to tell whether a population of subjects that developed tumors is more at risk than the rest of the population?
The number of planes in the air at a given time would require that any such log be a summary only, but it could contain enough data to give investigators an immediate reading on what brought a plane down, plus GPS coordinates that would make it easier to locate the wreckage and the black boxes. It would also give us early warning of flights which have been taken over in any way by terrorists or which are off course. That shouldn't take a month to figure out.
Consider the potential of laying high capacity broadband along the Interstate Highway System, with tap points at exits that would be leased to local ISPs. The tagline could be 'You already know where it goes.'
The EU has no right to force me to make my papers publicly available. The EU neither respects people's rights nor freedom. Fuck Europe.
Why in hell wouldn't you, as a researcher, want to make your papers publicly available? Papers describe research that represents a lot of invested time and money, and you're going to want to publicize it and get it peer reviewed.
Every Facebook user has at some tie or another gotten that flurry of messages from people on their Friends list that they are getting requests to sign up again. Your Facebook age has been copied by a spammer who will then start selling magic diets and Florida real estate to everyone on your list. This scam is so common now that facebook has a special button for reporting it.
"If changes in the sun causes 25-35% of the warming, and the increased CO2 is causing another 25-35%, that should leave about 30-50% that you haven't accounted for. "
It's much easier for us to detect causes of warming than it is to isolate the effect of any isolated cause.
No ever-lengthening lists of bad passwords and no infernal fiddly rules about specific numbers of capitals and numbers and symbols, but a simple threshold of overall password strength according to one of the widely-accepted metering systems. Such a filter would automatically accept the random strings created by password manager applications, which would lead to more people using such programs to create good passwords.
You have a point, but I'm not claiming that political values are transmitted genetically. Rather, those who favor chimera transplants will be around longer as an influence in culture than the "naturalists." People who are still healthy enough to be tenured university faculty, influencing the young, will be the ones who avail themselves of advanced medical technology.
The same is true of those who use vaccines and dental fluoride.
Chrono-Americans use better passwords because unlike the young, they write everything down. A user who never takes her laptop to Starbucks or to work is okay with setting up difficult passwords and then referring to a list in the silverware drawer when her grandchildren need to connect to the WiFi.
The anti-science lobby has started to weigh in. This week's news on chimera research first brought opposition from a Christian group called Kansans For Life, because embryos. But unlike other I Hate Science issues, this one has a better chance of drawing both sides than stem cell research or GMOs. You can bet that the anti-GMO left will be heard from soon ("Waaah! It's unnatural!")
And I love it. This technology has the potential to eliminate both extremes of the political spectrum, by adverse selection. The rest of us will be able to enjoy a lot more peace and quiet.
As with use of CRISPR tech, this is our first nibbling at the edges of a technology that will involve a host of delicate ethical choices as applications emerge. But the easiest of these ethical questions to resolve in favor of "go for it" is surely having farm animals grow human organs for transplantation. Even vegetarians would be mostly in favor of such a lifesaving application - or to put it another way, those who oppose it would quickly select themselves out of the population.
A pig could be engineered to grow, not just a human kidney, but your kidney, cloned from your body. No more having to spend the rest of your life on anti-rejection drugs, risking death with every sniffle and paper cut.
It's typical for afraid-to-offend-anyone international corporations to address conflicts between the laws of two countries with policy that expresses a horrible lowest common denominator. This one, which is Google's hamfisted tack between really bad British and American laws, is a prize example.
Ahhh... nuclear shills are getting a bit shy of last. I was waiting for one to show up...
Because the potential energy in a few piles of rocks in boxcars totally eliminates the need for baseload power sources. Meanwhile, the trackage I would build in Nevada would be to haul spent fuel rods to Yucca Mountain.
But under British law, it's illegal to say that, even if it's true. That's why Goigle deleted the thread. Normally, a DMCA takedown can be easily removed if you can show it to be false.

AC trolling is a waste of time and money. Discuss.
Bravo, SpaceX!

Bush. It was Bush.
'Republicans must exist there!' is an easy first conclusion, but so far we haven't imaged any golf courses.

"So if you graph the temperature-raise on mars with the temperature-raise on earth do you get a corralation?"
This would tell us a lot, but we would need to be able to drill ice cores to show ancient temperatures, as we do on Earth.

"how about an example of his "sophisticated political views"?"
It's easy to whomp up a political justification for one's actions. Now all the black hat hackers will reclassify themselves as red hats and blue hats.
Could Germany be having second thoughts about setting fire to that 85 square kilometers of lignite?

And give it back to Mexico as a peace offering. Our legal system would then be free of a huge burden.
an iphone can make calls? no fucking way! i don't think i've ever seen my sister or her kid make a call on theirs.
Have them switch away from AT&T
