We're ripping down forests which changes the albedo. But we're burning a lot of wood which releases CO2. Now we're building highways of cement which changes the albedo. No, now they are tar parking lots. Wait, burning oil. No, wait, cheap natural gas due to fracking is causing power plants to switch from oil, releasing 40% less CO2.
STOP with the fucking idiocy and just hope we're causing global warming, which is far, far less of a problem than a new ice age, artificially indced or not.
In any case, I have legitimate reasons I don't want YouTube to know I'm doing legitimate research watching a legitimate vaginal exam with "shocker" technique.
Presumably the patch was certified. If so, clearly certification means nothing because it didn't catch saved file corruption differences between versions, which would be one of the primary things certification should test. He should ask for his certification payment back.
Of major attacks (say, 6 or more deaths) in recent decades, think Islamist is in the lead over RWNJs, and are 2/3 of the top 3.
Right now talking heads are blathering about, hell, they're puling shit out of their ass, includimg he is a kid confused by movie and video game violence.
A few years back, scientists pointed out there was evidence that ice ages could come on in as little as a couple of years, and that it required centuries or millenia of cooling was wrong.
All it takes is a couple of what would be severe winters in a row from random chance, combined with a big volcanic eruption or two (Krakatoa I think made London snow in summer.) All it takes is for one summer where the snow pack doesn't melt, and that summer the Earth, thanks to the albedo, never gets much summer energy, then the winter is utterly frigid, starting from a much cooler level, and then the snow pack never melts for 10-50,000 years. Each year then adds to the never-quite-melting snow of summer.

Umm, they're only figuring this out now?
Each step in evolution has involved milestones that allow a magnitude or more faster scouring of the evolution fitness gradient descent space.
Slowest 1. Random mutation due to stray neutron or copy error 2. Sexual crossover reproduction 3. Random, controlled re-juggling of genes in a safe-ish way (children look different from parents) 4. Intelligence -- allows learning by observation both from parents and from (possibly accidental) trial-and-error
The latter bails on the genes directly entirely, making behavior not of hard-wrought instinctual genetic-based behavior, but from information transfer and gradient descent space exploration outside of gene modification.
Nobody realized this chain? Well. I guess I just did 50 years of biologists' work, you lazy, lazy sods.
Next step: Computer simulation of genes and genetic algorithms to test out things at high speed, which we then self-modify. Far faster scouring of the fitness gradient descent space.
An empire prospers when it keeps the trade routes open. It falters when it turns to lording over its own people, and a new core of empire forms on its outskirts, little fettered from it.
Great. Between this and power generated by cheap natural gas due to fracking, which puts 40% less CO2 into the atmosphere already (this has caused he US in the last 5 years to exceed the rest of the world's Kyoto efforts already) we're gonna risk inducing another ice age and will have to mandate huge gass guzzlers.
Hmmmm...I hadn't realized this issue with Metacritic before. I now rate Metacritic's quality as 4.7 kumquats, down from 2-8 exahogsheads per quadriliter:(

It's the inside that's the problem!

NSFW? I'm offended.

Only if you're at risk. As this is a sexually transmitted disease and this is Slashdot...
Maybe that's why. Comics were always light in explaining how normal matter could contain energies on that level without immediately disintegrating.
Normal Trek or Who technobabble sounds like Nobel Prize theses compared to comics.
And as the fox began to sink beneath the water, he said to the spider on his head, "Why did you bite me? Now you will die, too."
The spider said, "You were foolish to expect me to change my nature."

7-11 invented the Big Gulp, and found out people kept buying bigger and bigger cups.
We already have a continuum of large phones through tiny tablets. This issue was settled years ago.
And, most unfortunately, reports from theatergoers was that the Batman movie was still boring.
What? Too soon?

Everybody just wait and see, just wait and see.
You'll note those countries have much more problem with losing liberty and relying on US efforts to regain it.
Right according to Second Amendment theory.
If I bring a weapon they think was used in a crime, inside, don't they still have to get a warrant?
Why should this be any different?

GOD DAMN IT!
My droid hasn't even self-upgraded to Cherry Pop Tart With Icing, yet. >:-(
Didn't some fashions have the breasts completely out?
I don't know if I'd be ready to jump to the conclusion that the invention of bras was a racy improvement, rather than a censorious one.
Having to move back from the ocean over the course of a century or three is indeed just a nuisance to a powerful economy.
Having an ice ace lock up most of the plantable land in permafrost will lead to the deaths of billions.
Do you people understand what I'm saying?
If I were a corporate shill, I'd be like, "Ya, do it. Dump away baby!"
Don't fucking do it.
Don't do it. Global warming is a nuisance at worst (and probably a boon as-is.)
But accidentally overshooting and inducing an ice age, which may come on in as little as a year or two, will indeed kill billions.
Don't do it.
I don't know why Microsoft would apologize -- programmer nerds love paying tribute to mythalogical things like hobbits, goblins, and female breasts.
Hmmmm. Leftists in favor of free trade.
Well, it's about time.

Aren't the examiners ever reviewed? There's nothing inherently novel in doing things on a wireless device that's already being done on a PC.
Also, lists like this are already done in car nav radios.
