Some of the 'simple Unix commands' aren't that simple. For instance, a simple command like "touch" supports the --date=STRING feature, which contains a very elaborate parser for all kinds of weird ways to write the date, including locale support for different languages.
That's why in most places you don't get a ticket if you're only 3 mph over. Also, most speedometers show a higher speed than the actual one.
So, by the time you get a ticket, the speedometer has to be quite a bit higher than the posted speed limit. It's not that hard stay under that, even without constantly watching the dial.
You are right. We should have dual posted speed limits. One for normal people, and another one that's only for excellent drivers driving 2010 Imprezas.
So, if current speed limits are set by this 85th percentile rule, it follows that the safest speed is the actual speed limit. Therefore, you still shouldn't be speeding.
Yeah, because evolution and AGW are the same thing...
They are both very well supported by peer-reviewed science.

30 years is enough to see that the warming is statistically significant. In other words: the amount of warming we have seen is unlikely to be random noise.
If it's not random noise, it must have a cause. The theory that it was caused by extra CO2 is the most plausible one, but if you can point to another cause, that's well supported by scientific studies, go ahead.
You think removing a handful of people from the Earth is going to make a difference ? Or do you envision launching millions of spaceships every day taking people to a better world, only a few hundred light years away.
Look at the last couple of graphs especially. The error bars explode near recent years, so it's too early to say whether the rising trend has been stopped. We need to wait another 10-15 years.

And google can probably figure out if people are abusing their services, and block them.
It does in newer versions:

You can find the data set on the NASA site too, as well as data viewers: http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/
The models require massive amounts of CPU cycles, though. You won't be able to duplicate the results on your PC.

They've only narrowed down the class of sounds, but not why we would find those sounds so annoying.

A lot of people don't like nuclear very much either. It's not just the government.

I like taxes that I can legally avoid paying, though.

Pretty similar tactics by deniers.
Propose to raise income tax at the same time, so revenue stays the same.
More likely: it's a demonstration by the manufacturer, where limits for red/yellow have been placed much lower than normal.
With regular speed limits, traffic would be zipping by so fast, you wouldn't be able to read the plates or the tags.
Or one of those from the Church of Evolution...

No, the 1980-2010 period is quite a bit warmer than 1970-2000.
You assume they would be interested in such an adventure, especially after one or two rockets blow up.
The energy required for such mass migration would stop the need for one.
Possibly, yes. A few filthy rich tourists could make it into low earth orbit, and a few years later, we'll run out of filthy rich tourists.
It's more likely these are last decades. A few more years, and people will decide the ISS is a useless money drain, which they can no longer afford.

The period from 2000 to now is too short to tell whether it stopped or not. Here is a statistical analysis of the temperatures:

It's because the temperatures recorded in urban areas are compensated for the extra warming.
Only if the solar energy is collected with rectangular panels.
