Mewouldalso like to point out TFA is written inextricably interlinking (or so its worldview declares) "socioeconomic disparities" with climate change. Climate change thus, as predicted, becomes another argument for government control.
And the problems climate change may introduce are economic issues. The vaunted scientists have been making incorrect analysis of economic impacts for 50 years. Impact is an economic issue.
These are the same clueless ones who brought you the fraud of peak oil, destructo-botted by capitalism when it got around to it.
One thinks there must be more, some extortion or plan to misuse the info, that we aren't hearing about.
On the other hand, these are the same people who try to get teens who send cell phone nude shots to each other registered as lifelong sex offenders who produced and distributed child pornography.
Wrecking lives for a notch on the belt. So proud. Elect me!
Do they have the rights to end-user products or also spin-off entertainment commercial products?
If these were toy slot machines for sale in Toys-R-Us, er, Walmart, they wouldn't have a case. But this is commercial product with derivative, ongoing income. Not only that, but online as well.
The damaged reputation argument is, of course, laughable given money will, of course, soothe hurt feelings. It's more like creating a ride at Disney World than a toy orc.
I was a Mac-o-phile from 1986 onward, and stunned friends switching to Window around 1997. Reason? Both Mac and PC had Netscape. Both had Office. The only difference was games.
MS knows this and has built games, i.e. 3D, into their OS to get devs dependent on windows and make ports harder. Hell, seel, the X-Box was created to nominally make PC ports to consoles easier to again prevent some uncontrolled 3D system gain major footing and threaten backfill into PCs.
You'll note settop boxes as merger of console game, DVR, and surfing PC never materialized, and tablets you hold while sitting in front of the TV are the apparent successor.
A this point, I submit the giant multiscreen of Back To The Fuure will never appear. The giant screen for shows will, but it won't be used for multiscreen. That will remain the windowed, handhelt tablet's domain.
Fair enough. Let's pronounce GIF the way it looks -- with a hard G.
What forkin' dorkling thought it should be pronounced like peanut butter? Let us hook brain monitors to you to find out why a soft G is the default generation for defective brains. "LOOK!!! He's reading GIF but his brain is forming the sound JIF!"
Wait. I know why. It's because you have a choosey mother.
His convolutions is also not a new observation. My mother told me they were aware of this, and that was at least 35 years ago, so they probably knew the moment they pulled it out.
Programming is how to program things to accomplish goals.
Engineering is not just creating that product -- it's creating the ways to manufacture the product, the efficiencies it may need, the testing, adherence to regulation, development planning, factory golden drop creation, bug report and change request handling, many other things.
It's reminiscent of people using the Freedom of Information Act to get the list of people who signed petitions for politically incorrect ballot proposals for the admitted purpose of harassing them.
The Supreme Court, while allowing the request, noted this was a troubling thing, a hint Congress might want to look into it.
I assume these brain-dead researchers are relying on self-reports that they are improvising on the fly, and haven't pre-memorized dozens and dozens of clever rhymes they've pre-thought up for use "on the fly".
Kind of like the dopes who "study" psychics and don't know enough to rule out magician slight-of-hand.

If only an economist had non-controversial theories which could predict this! Theories which made counter-intuitive predictions that came true again and again and again!

I keep suggesting this rule: A simulation of a real-world thing is not per se patentable, though a clever implementaion might be.
There is nothing inherently novel in deciding to simulate something.
God help us someone does a reasonable simulation of physics, then patents it not as a clever algorithm, but as a simulation of physics itself.
For that matter, what voter, when asked, agrees the government should scan email and so on, without a warrant??
Presumably the same people who want the government scanning credit card purchases without a warrant, either.
Where are these masses? Answer: They don't exist. This is smarmy meme growth that gets away with it by hiding scurrilously.
Just government arrogating onto itself more power, in this case, it wants to be the only entity that can cut off CC service to disfavored groups.
This is going in the wrong direction. Learn some history.

Well, there are only two Earth-shaking possible discoveries: life on Mars, or intelligent life on Mars
Or evidence of either in the past.
Or Roman helmets, that would work, too.
This assumes people are travelling and not spying.
California IIRC has passed laws about helicopters hanging around stars' houses, or tried to anyway.
What could possibly fucking go wrong?
Your assumption is the hunters couldn't do the same. Problem unsolved.

Since it's proaganda, university officials should ban it.
His convolutions is also not a new observation. My mother told me they were aware of this, and that was at least 35 years ago, so they probably knew the moment they pulled it out.
I don't agree with this.

Bullshit. Did you even read the posts on that tumblr site?

Miracle Day started out well, but when the big reveal of the problem came about, it just seemed...stupid.
Ironically, season 3 of Torchwood also suffered the same thing. It's...it's...it's freakin' drug-addicted aliens? That's it, just another alien?
It could use more of the action and emotion and Big Dealism that it complains about.
Sensitive doppler testing should detect a deviation in wave peaks and valleys due to the additional physical distance traveled.
In fact, I'll bet that tech already exists and could be readily adapted.
