What would motivate a majority of the world's scientists to 'fabricate' climate change, or 'manipulate' the reasons behind climate change?
Most scientists? Would that be the IPCC's "831 highly qualified experts" that make up the authors of AR5? (I noticed that they don't use the term scientists anymore)
Compared to the 700 Scientists that currently reject AWG?
Even if you added both groups together, you still wouldn't get into the numbers of "Majority of scientists". Most of the worlds scientists have not studied AWG and have no professional opinion on the subject.
There are both. However, as the evidence of climate change grows, more people move from "there is no global warming" to "OK, there may be global warming, but it's not man-made".
The corollary to this is:
As the knowledge of climate grows, more people move from "there is Anthropomorphic Global Warming" to "OK, there is not sufficient evidence to make bold claims."
There will always be the people on the fringes that lack the ability to listen to anything the other side has to say. The rational people have decided to take the middle ground and call for more evidence before having a panic attack.
Me? I am buying a boathouse and extra parkas just to be sure either way.
You must be from the US where they don't serve meals anymore. My question is, what about the long flights over the pond where you have multiple sunrises in one flight. Makes sleeping a bitch.
I love how everybody claims censorship over the "coffin thing"
When the families of the soldiers killed are upset that their sons are being displayed for propaganda purposes, the military did the right thing by stopping the practice.
Sure they just have the CIA sneak in and abduct all the employees and make off with the servers. Quite simple really, the tough part is trying to explain why your luggage is twitching to customs agents at the border.
Um... if the CIA wanted to abduct people, they sure as hell wouldn't go through customs. The CIA has there own planes and airports, no need to use the commercial airlines.
There are at least 2 countries on this planet that have successfully "contained" and/or "integrated" Muslims into their cultures and societies. See China and Russia for reference.
In China, while I can agree with the "contained", I can't agree with "integrated". China is an atheist government. They only succeed in keeping extremist at bay by force. This force is applied across all religious spectrum's.
As for the Russian's... words like "contained" or "integrated" are meaningless in places like Chechnya. They still have the occasional terrorist indecent there.
It is going to take a complete re-education of the Muslim population. Unless you can figure out a way to promote this peacefully, it is going to take a major war with total surrender as the only outcome. Otherwise it will always be a piecemeal and unsuccessful outcome. Total surrender is what changed the minds of those in power of Germany, Italy and Japan. Without that, we are just pissing in the wind.
Does the US have a concept of parliamentary privilege?
Is said republican willing to details his accusations of fraud outside of a legislative chamber?
What's the test for defamation in Virginia? Accusing someone's lifelong work of fraud in front of the world's media could potentially be libelous (IANAL).
I think you missed out on what the AG is. It is the duty of the Attorney General to investigate fraud and missuse of public money. Is this a witch hunt? Probably, but that doesn't mean he worng to investigate the claim of fraud.
Are you an American citizen? If you were stopped in Arizona for a busted tail light, how would you prove that you were (assuming the answer is yes)?
Of course the truth is, if you're not hispanic-looking and don't have a latino name, they probably won't demand that you verify your status. But amazingly, racism only a secondary problem. The main problem is that they may ask an American citizen to show proof that they are in the country legally, and Americans have no legal responsibility to carry that kind of documentation. So now what? Minor traffic tickets can be used to arrest people until they can provide a birth certificate?
This is probably one of the most ill-conceived laws to come about in recent times.
Using your example of being stopped in Arizona for a busted tail light... Lets analyze that. If you are driving, then you are required to have a drivers license on your person... which is an allowable proof of citizenship by this law. I just don't see race as being a legitimit argument against this law. You are either within the law or you are not.
Possession of "a very long object" is a great fucking reason to end a man's life.
In a war zone, you better believe it. What I see in this video is US military personnel following the rules of engagement. Sucks that it was a group of innocents... But it is a war zone. They have to make split second decisions in battle... With the equipment available. On a 14 inch monitor, it sure looks like a couple of guys carrying AK-47's and the guy peeking around the corner could be an RPG... hind sight shows that it was probably just a camera, but I will never fault them for thinking it was an RPG. Better to be wrong rather than letting them fire an RPG at our guys on the ground. Yes, I really said that. If you want to be a journalist in a war zone with a really large camera, go right ahead... Just don't be surprised when somebody mistakes you for a combatant.
We have the best equipped military in the world, but the fog of war is still there. These guys were following the rules of engagement for that battle. Would you rather us bring back carpet bombing? Seems like Americans took less flak back in the day when we used this barbaric technique.
If you shop around, you can get a decent digital hearing aid on-line for less than $200. It may not be the top of the line, but it will get you through a job interview.
While the Med is, on average, 1500 meters deep, If you look at a map that shows relative ocean depth around the island of Crete you will see that it is possible for a land bridge (or very close to one) on both the east and west sides of the island. Humans have always been known to follow shore lines during migration so this doesn't seem to be a far fetched theory.
As long as you set up in a portion of the ocean that has very little biomass, it would not be an issue. There are huge areas in the ocean that are effectively deserts.
You call this a test worthy of coverage here? The guy don't even state whether he's using 32-bit version which I suspect is the case. This won't happen on 64-bit Vista/7.
So, do you run 64-bit Vista/7 without antivirus? Whats your IP address?;-)
I did in fact RTFA, and they did NOT "water it down"; they ran it in its default configuration.
I think you missed his point... It was Microsoft that watered down the default UAC, not SOPHOS. It was a case of having the protection notifications annoy the customer, so they made it less annoying... and by default less secure. Go figure!

I know that 1/9 = 1.999... /.../ The point of the exercise is to demonstrate this to people who aren't already well versed in mathematics.
You are going to have to help out somebody who isn't versed in your form of mathematics. How exactly do you come up with 1/9 = 1.999?
When I read the GP's post I read 1/9 to mean 1 divided by 9. Not sure how you would show the inclusion of that step other than the way he did.

H.264 is NOT an "open standard."
Err...
This may just be semantics, but it is an 'open standard' what it is not is 'open source'. There is a difference.

But, how is a blood sample from somebody born in 2003 going to solve a cold case? I guess a seven year old is prone to murder.

Sorry, your analogy doesn't work as it doesn't reference cars in any way.

Yes, but it make hunting them much easier.

There has been a push in the past to use the tilde at the end of a sentence to represent either snarky or sarcasm.
I am all for it~
Eh... When the climate change happens, I will be ready with my parka and a warm fire.
Just what is Microsoft's angle? Surely they are gaining some advantage here.

For one, they watered down UAC
