Actually the Daily Mail gives us detail about many US stories that are for various reasons suppressed domestically. A recent example is that high school girl killed by bullies in the girls' bathroom in Wilmington DE: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...
"You're aware that the last ice age hasn't ended yet, right?"
Whatever climate warming is coming from man-belched carbon is mixed with the warming as we emerge into the interglacial, plus Darwin knows how many other simultaneous cycles. This is why policy should be aimed at taking back the excess carbon we know we are emitting, rather than trying to quantify the effect it might be having.
"It's interesting how the parent comment and several others posted so far that don't toe the line of the leftists have been downmodded already."
Note how this is true even for those of us who support greenhouse theory and agree that AGW is occurring. The Church of Warminetics are flagellants who demand that you reject every technological solution to AGW, whether you're talking about sequestration tech or switching to carbon-free power generation. They are the same people who in the past demanded that you see ozone depletion, overpopulation, mass famine, resource exhaustion and pandemics as similarly catastrophic and unavoidable.
"Until you realise that even a infinite multiverse is not large enough to contain Infinite^infinite universes."
Georg Cantor, one of the endless array of white phones in front of you is ringing. And you will not find out which one if you spend the rest of your life looking for it.
My dad was killed by a texting driver while he rode his bike. The whole thing was caught on his camera, and in the video from his rear-facing camera, you can even see, in crystal clear high definition, that the driver's head is looking down towards her lap the whole time.
This also happened in one well known case in Los Angeles, where the texter was a cop. He was not even indicted: http://www.dailynews.com/gener...
"Legalize Mary Jane and put the people who text in prison."
Imagine the effect of this on culture. Prison novels and poetry will now have to be deciphered from text-speak, and at the same time will lack the fake profundity that such works traditionally get from drugs.
And at the same time, radical jihadists are not going to study theology at a foreign university. They have already been fricasseed in jihadist culture.
This was exactly my experience in the year I tried Prime. I didn't order enough for the shipping savings to justify the cost, and all the video content I wanted I could already get on Netflix.
The driver culture considers owning one's own car as a crucial element in their self-image of freedom. Historically, they have voted for transit systems only when they think buses and trains will take enough loser-cruiser-users off the road to lessen the traffic around their treasured freedom chariots.
But if ridesharing services and autonomous cars proliferate, a large number of new users will unwittingly move over from the driver culture to the rider culture. If you get used to Ubering and riding autonomous cars in the city, even you hold on to a weekend land yacht of your own, you will now be a lot friendlier to the idea of riding a multipassdenger transit vehicle when this will save money than you ever were before.
"That doesn't mean the devices couldn't and shouldn't be cheaper, but there's a reason for a professional to be involved."
Having a professional evaluate your hearing is a good idea, and is not even the expensive part of correcting a hearing loss. The problem is that your specialist is only allowed to prescribe the ridiculously overpriced hearing aids. He/she may have technical info on a good selection from the low-priced devices cited in the article, but the FDA won't allow a professional to do this.

Are you suggesting that Windows 10 is contrary to Sharia law?
No, it's contrary to all enlightened notions of human decency. Sharia law is fine with it.

If we had the Canadian system, we wouldn't be forced to pay $5000 for a hearing aid that doesn't work.

Sometimes the worst parasites in a welfare system are not the recipients, but the social workers.
Seriously, the causal racism on Slashdot these days is getting way out of hand and really really old (as you probably are)
Old racists, young dyslexics. Another missed chance to untie on an issue.
