The TP wants less government power over big business. They couldn't care less if you have to be forced by the government to carry any pregnancy to term.
And if you click-through a link at TFA, you find that the Polish sect is still holding out because it does, in fact, sell its data sets.
You can copyright an expression of facts, and a collection of data you emailed to a wonk in Blighty counts as an expression of facts. They would have to somehow reformat it so it's not the same expression, but just changing the instruments doesn't make a tune any different, so changing formatting or number systems doesn't change a data set.
I bet Trinidad & Tobago is pissed and willing to sue.
I expect, if necessary, they will rewrite textbooks on statistics to create mathematical systems that prove up is down, black is white, night is day, and hot is cold.
Their goal is to make money, not to prove the truth. I don't think that's the case for their opponents.
No, I believe that large changes in the large amount of significant greenhouse gas has been proved to affect Earth's climate. Because that's what happened.
Why you find the need to deny every part of it is the mystery. It's going to make your future hell, unless you're heavily invested in everyone else's future becoming hell, in which case you can go to hell.
There've been 110 billion people on Earth. Average life about 60 years (being generous, really). 2.4e15 person-days. Say they each drank a liter of water a day, so it's the same number of liters filtered through kidneys.
The volume of Lake Superior is 1.2e16 liters.
And that's just Lake Superior. The volume of water on the whole planet is 1.3e21 liters.
Next time someone says "you're wasting water," tell them they're a sucker for factoids.
There's a reason the word "summary" isn't a synonym for "click here". If I have to click through just to understand the headline, then the summary did not summarize.
Do they sell only the censored versions? That'd be lame, but not out of character.
I don't buy stuff from Wal-mart, except in emergencies. Nor will I buy this from them. But if it forces Netflix to retract some of their egregious price-hike, then more power to Wal-mart.
No, they raised the price. Used to be you got discs for $8 and streaming was free. Then the two of them were $11, meaning streaming went up to $3. Now to get the same thing it costs you $16. They raised the price on streaming. If you were only streaming while you had the ability to get discs, too, then you were choosing to pay $11 for a streaming-only account. That's not what its price was, it was just what you decided to pay for it. Since their streaming has a limited selection and degraded quality (no 1080p, bad throughput issues, etc.) it isn't worth as much as getting the same movie on a disc. Its only advantage is the fast turnaround, which isn't worth what the quality and limitation cost it.
Why is it either a surprise or a scare that the NSA can, with what is bound to be much higher standards for justification (as long as the Republicans aren't in the White House, in which case justification involves merely setting up plausible deniability)?
Scientists studying stars discovered that certain metals emit certain wavelengths of X-rays. From that they deduced they could implant these metals preferentially in tumors, then use X-rays at those wavelengths to emit electrons from the metal to kill the tumor."
With appropriate hyperlinking to TFA pretty much anywhere in there.
So now you'll get whacked with a rolled-up newspaper for being sensationalist in the headline, but not by me. And I'd probably want to read TFA now, to figure out exactly how they did it, because the summary is intriguing instead of frustrating, and the details are all I need.
P.S. My subject line here isn't a personal attack; it's a line from True Lies.
No, I read the whole summary, and that is nothing but a recapitulation of the premise in the headline. It says nothing interesting about cosmic x-rays and treatment.
And yes, I certainly could RTFA, but then why write a summary at all, if it's not going to summarize the main point in the headline so that I don't have to RTFA just to get the main point in the headline?
No, all it takes is for someone to put a couple of hundred dollars of design work into the airflow.
Run the fans at a speed that doesn't cause the air to shear, use some streamlining on the intakes and exhaust grates, and you will get significant cfm without anyone knowing it's happening.
Y'know, instead of foisting Moderator points on us every couple of days (yes, it's literally like that for me) they should instead occasionally dump each user into the firehose and suggest rating a dozen or more submissions before going to the main hall or the posting tools.
Because it's clear from today's submissions that it's trivially easy to stuff the ballot box, owing to the light traffic to out-of-the-way facets of the website.

The Tea Party are orcs.
McCain is a moderate republican.
Only when he's acting on his own recognizance.
When anyone -- and I mean anyone -- grips his ear and pushes his head down to his desk, he's among the most venal of right-wing shills.
It "produces sound like no other" because those tubes are filtering things out.
You don't need it to sound good when your goal is to crank it and get baked, and you're used to shitty little earphones anyway.

It should be legal to brain racists with a fungo bat.
But they just said it was due to sports.
So, which is it?

But what if it used to, and it all ended up raining on Earth?
Are you drinking moon water now?
So if you want snow tires and the only way to get them is by buying a Bronco, snow tires are the price of a Bronco.
Only to you.

Even worse. If they had a clue they would know it has to be "Bing is not Google." Clearly we're dealing with overreaching aerosol-cheez marketers.
With a warrant, any cop can do this.

Can't happen. The GOP cut funding for socialist utensils in the last budget.
Here's how:
"Cosmic X-Rays Cure Cancer
Scientists studying stars discovered that certain metals emit certain wavelengths of X-rays. From that they deduced they could implant these metals preferentially in tumors, then use X-rays at those wavelengths to emit electrons from the metal to kill the tumor."

This is /., not a click-through honeypot.
I've seen skin, and this isn't it. This isn't even scab.
My current electric heater can't do folding@home
Stock it with Legionella and I bet it can.
