And the $200,000 was her voluntarily prosecuting a lawsuit based on a law that allows any citizen to sue to recover government money lost due to fraud, in this case an additional grant based on the data.
Also, boo on those yabbering about corporations -- the two cases listed were both universities. You philosophical underpants are showing.
The third case was a semi-nut anon reporting about 80% of anon claims of fraud to major journals. They're sometimes right, so they can't be blanket ignored, but the frequent dead ends waste investigation resources.
Warmth can exacerbate blood sugar levels in Type IIs, "the fat man's disease". Some researchers are looking into electric blanket use and other heavy blankets when sleeping. It does indeed cause a collapse in energy burn rates.
As Europeans own far fewer air conditions, warming could indeed be a problem. However, a few degrees won't make jack squat difference, so this aspect here is a lot of hooey. Ypu need an extra thick blanket to turn your surroundings into much higher temps, and your burn rate adjusts so you don't sweat.
The 80,000 they mention would similarly be inconsequential.
My prediction: Give them time to figure out why, which will habe nothing to do with GW, and people, then, will conveniently forget yet another histeria.
Opposing views, sure. But is wishing a painful death on those causing your father an awful death wrong? That the connection is just "informational" rather than physical is a rhetorical conceit.
If you want to discuss the propriety of indefinite prisoner detention absent a declared war which, by definition, has no logical endpoint, that's fine. But a blanket comparison is not justified.
There was a Cops episode where a good ol' boy pulled over a Mexican family, found $8000 in cash in a tire, and let them go, keeping the money as drug money.
Congresscritters stamped their little fists and said they'd do something about this, require proof of a crime, and charges, and so on.
I'm guessing that went nowhere and local police can continue in their traditional role as highway robbers?
I never liked this whole extra-territoriality, therefore rights don't apply BS. The US is built on a powerful philosophical notion: that your rights are inherent to you by fact of personhood, and are not granted by government, but rather secured using powers the people gave it.
Some of that is showing up here, yes, it is each nation's responsibility to do this.
But...if the rights are inherent, you have them inside or outside, and citizen or not. The rights precede formation of government, and hence people in other countries who have never been to the US have those rights, too.
It's called ignition cycle testing, Tesla engineers. Hook up the device and do automatic cycle tests short of sleep time (booting hardware does not go immediately to sleep in case the driver re-starts the car.). Once that survives days, do it with a longer cycle that is longer than full sleep time. Then straddle the time randomly (save your seed). Repeat these tests from time to time.
Record output log files. Once that is good, repeat with battery pull.
This is independent of shake and bake tests which are more about the hardware. Yes, they have awesome machines that go minus 40 to 140, shaking the thing like on a dirt road. Did you know the hottest point for dashboard equipment isn't summer but winter with the heater blasting?
Follow the money -- look for lawyers pushing this. Or politicians looking for a kickback. Once ypu've broken your feet in, which can take a few weeks, all day is no problem.
Follow. The. Money. We need super-reporters to dig into that.
I would freakig love access to Slashdot's database to do data mining to discover if there are clusters of political downmodders, and call it to light. I've had a number of +5s that, after several days, suddenly go to +4.
Is this the work of a stalker? Is it some concentrated cabal? There was just that story of a company that hired a PR firm to rip up people -- could a political version of this not exist already, with paid or self-appointed dogooders?

The professor, from the US or European intelligentsia, then rubbed his chin, "Government should force people to have these voluntary reciprocity invites! But not with beer. Or soda pop. Well, not sugar soda anyway. Or diet."
Just in case this isn't patented, I hereby create and release unto the world the idea of 3D printing custom covers, casings, designs, shrouds, and every manner of item, structural or facade or otherwise, as a feature of a product, including downloading and sharing of predesigned or customer-designed pieces, including the process of individualization such as engravings, monograms, and flourishes.
I don't want to have to pay extra or wait 27 or 22 years to use his obvious engineering and business process.
Being able to put my own stamp on the world ranks so highly in importance for me that I'm staying out of the fray until EQNext comes out.
In City of Heroes, you could place decorations in your superbase (which could get positively gigantic via upgrades). They removed the bounding box collisions on placement, so you could overlap things and thus, using them as pieces, create entirely new objects.
I created a giant study room with mahogany supergroup meeting table (overlapped dozens of coffee tables just a whisker above some decroative meeting table), created an entire mountain with caves in it to house things, worship areas for strange gods, and an entire suspended wooden platform with work areas with these vanity award fliers hanging under it, ready for deployment.
My favorite was the jail, though. It had 9 cells and 57 beds in it, most suspended and 3 stories tall. The bars were these tall floor lamps.
I placed well over 4000 pieces by the time the assholes at Perfect World shut it down.
Imagine whoever owns Minecraft shutting it down, and poof! All your worlds and buildings and so on you worked on for months and years -- gone!
Why they couldn't sell it to someone else I don't know.
Multiplayer implies grouping -- we are still waiting for the game that makes this easy. I don't mean raids or dungeons, I mean your fellow band of travellers moving from area to area doing quests during normal level up. It is actually fun.
And almost impossible to do past low level areas. People thin out, and your group disperses over days and weeks as some people outlevel others.
One of the best times I ever had was Tera Online going almost to max level with the same group of people.
That is the exception, so we await easy quest sharing and grouping. Tera is abysmal in this as almost every quest is part of a chain which cannot be shared out of order. These are not special quests, but bread-and-butter leveling chains. Who cares if someone didn't do the previous quest? Apparently guys with ! over their heads do.
Kind of -- tax breaks for specific industries and activities, and subsidies are the same, though at least the tax break has them using their own money, rather then someone else's.
Of course, it really comes off the top, AKA borrowing, so you are robbing future generations to buy votes today.
Let's have a balanced budget amendment and let the power-hungry fuckers in Congress do their job -- fight out spending there. We are long past the point of borrowing to invest (infrastructure, or war) both of which ostensibly benefit future generations so it is moral to borrow from them. But the bulk is wealth transfer payments to past generations who did not save enough.

Follow the money -- it is another ticket-writing profit vector. This will fuel the drive with which they pursue this, not safety.
The whole point of an experiment is to run enough trials to gain statistical confidence. It's supposed to be it's own validation in that sense.
So it's either a systematic error in their experiment, or fraud.

Font is the same root word as fountain (use in typesetting derives from foundaries that cast type letter blocks, the font of molten iron.)
I am not really interested in learning details of an ANAL FONT.

To be fair, every human being and interaction makes nerds want to sit alone in a corner of the room. Oh look, grandma's M&M bowl is right there, too.
Was this too vicious? I'm sorry.

Warring against the US is not protected behavior. Puishing AKA Freedom of the Press, is.

OH. MY. GOD. Air gaps.
I thought my tinfoil hat was sufficient, but you're telling me I now have to worry about sounds going in my ears that modify my behavior!?!?!

And yet, the top politicians have in common the ability to lie convincingly.
You have here a slip of paper, you do!
Bitcoins are rapidly gaining acceptance for payments because companies wanna receive them because they are appreciating rapidly.
