(so far, you're safe to think those words, but we're working on that)
This announced change on estimated US (slash) California reserves will have little to no impact on the markets. It certainly might have an impact on the CA economy in the long term - but for the rest of us...not so much.
The theory, at least, is that prices are set by competition and corporate tax rates do not enter into it.
No "theory" is required. There's plenty of empirical evidence that when a local tax is applied to the production of a globally traded commodity, there is virtually no effect on the price of that commodity.
Of course, what happens to the level of production within the tax authority is another matter.
Or to put it another way: if you raise the taxes of all oil/gas companies, what do you think those companies are going to do next?
That's great, except no one is talking about raising taxes on ALL oil/gas companies. Kaiser's proposal affects the rate levied on producing wells in Oklahoma. The proposal will have virtually no effect on overall oil/gas prices, much less prices at the pump.
Just wait till the markets open tomorrow. NASDAQ down 600-800 points (at least). Nobody sane is going to purchase US-made networking gear for a very long time.
I know, right?! The fact that the melting of floating ice would have no effect on sea levels must have completely escaped those silly career scientists AND the editors of the journals who are going to publish their research.
Yeah AC, you've got more expertise than Wagner, Joughin, Alley, and (importantly) Mercer when it comes to this sort of thing...prolly more than all of them combined! Thanks for posting.
And thanks for the perceptive moderator who marked parent Insightful. It's another helluva day for science here on slashdot!
Nonsense. I mean, I can still recall every square centimeter of that 1976 Farrah Fawcett poster in excruciating detail. Over the last 30-odd years, I've literally recalled it some tens of thousands of times with absolutely no degradation in quality.
Good thing too, because for some reason I'm now almost completely blind. (see username)
While I respect and applaud your passion on this subject, all I was attempting to do was refute GGP's "months" assertion. That, and throwing my support behind Levison's (admittedly clumsy) resistance to the government's over-reaching demands.
Building Blocks simply means any number of a variety of blocks, most notably wooden building blocks.
LEGOs are a trademarked branded construction toy that goes together in a very specific way.
The point of this is that it's about physical dexterity.
This article does not reference Lego.
You are absolutely correct. When I saw the edited headline of the article I submitted, I had a WTF! moment. But now, I'm somewhat ambivalent about the edit that trades "lego" for "toy blocks". I can see several reasons why the edited headline might be better for the discussion.
If I'd complain to the editors (who do pretty well for a thankless job) about anything, it's that they failed to post the related news link that I submitted.
Slashdot Mirror
So theres other parts of it somewhere out there

The point is moot. Libruls don't want even 1 drop of it removed from the ground..
FTFY
LOL wut? You must live outside the US.

When did Mexico become a South American country?
Mexico is south of Americuns. You typo natzis really needs to Goetz overs yourselfs.
Cryptocoins are a solved problem. It's being able to store them securely that is the problem.
IOW, the cryptocoin problem isn't solved.

Nah, this won't budge the markets, mainly because this info was released some time ago - and it wasn't limited to router hardware.
The only reason this is being re-reported is to promote Greenwalds's book.

Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we shall day is literally the motto for so many people.
So....carpe diem cras?
Except that, as a regular /. reader, I'm becoming a little desensitized to these things.

The whole grain oats, enriched generously with folate and iron, would serve to deter even the most wanton of breakfast criminal.
Oat porridge? Maple syrup? Berries 'n butter? I doubt it. Plain okayu (with salt for good behavior) is what's on the typical prison menu in Japan.
Perhaps you were thinking of the Canadian system, eh?
Vote with your wallet.
Seems like my wallet doesn't cast the vote it once did - and I own a mansion and a yacht.
And /. only gives me mod points on the weekends...except this time. Dammit!
Heh, I thought I'd seen all the Far Sides, but not that one. Got a good laugh when I searched. Thanks!
I, for one, am going to assure that I get a steady supply of stem cells by eating a baby for breakfast each morning.
I eat Little Debbies for breakfast. Not quite babies, but similarly soft n squishy inside. I'll prolly live forever.
How about "Crew Replacing Aviation Systems Handler"?
digits have 0 physical value ever
Dunno about you, but my digits come in pretty handy.
LOL..too many orbits is the problem in my case.
Since you've been modded insightful, I'm guessing there's a point in there somewhere. I just can't find it. Maybe it's age.
I think I remember the same, so fair enough. Just never found a reputable reference.
Lavabit had apparently complied with much more limited surveillance demands in the past, but then decided they weren't going to do that any more.
Didn't see that mentioned in any of the fine articles...do you have a source for that info, or did I miss something?
