Early in the report it cites an example of someone downloading child pornography sitting in a car by "hacking" a wi-fi network. Only at the end of the report does it admit that the network was unsecured.
Ok, now tell me how hard it is to hack a WEP-enabled wireless network? It takes all of what, 90 seconds?
Clark's research shows that between 1200 and 1800, the rich had more surviving children than the poor
Well professor if you look at statistics from ANY time period, for ANY country in the world, the rich ALWAYS have more surviving children than the poor. Lack of squalor, better access to sanitation and the best available medical facilities is something the rich have always had over the "have not"'s.
Also I'm surprised that an "economics historian" thinks you can "save" your way into an economic boom. Perhaps he also thinks he can "save" enough to retire a millionaire. Yeah good luck with that. Let's totally disregard the fact that the industrial revolution meant that the same or less quantity of workers could produce more, higher quality, and standardized products. Maximizing available resources (time being an important one) and reducing waste. THIS is where the economic growth came from.
Why should I read this document if dear Dr. Crank doesn't even realize this?
Unfortunately, it's hard for me to believe that a third party will ever have a legitimate chance at winning the presidency...
Stranger things have happened. Of course it never will, since almost everyone shares your attitude.
Costa Rica (my adopted country) has had a two-party system for well over 40 years. Last election, the incumbent party failed to obtain more than 10% of the vote, and a completely new party is sharing power with the traditional "opposition" which won by a narrow margin.
Make your vote count, and maybe one day the change will happen when enough people get pissed off.
So, we could potentially have a solar system filled with seeder asteroids (meteoroids?) from massive impacts with Earth or an older life-bearing Mars.
While this (and many other) microorganism can survive being in ice, there are NO organisms that can survive being heated to several thousand degrees as your "meteoroid" passes through the atmosphere and/or strikes the ground. Yes, the inside of meteors gets hot too.
Now, having spores floating around in space and being captured by the atmosphere without the dramatic re-entry associated with rocks and other dense objects - this is a concept I might agree with.
You would bleed a bit faster? But then again, from the cold you'd experience vasoconstriction (a reflex - this is why we put ice on wounds), so you might bleed less than at STP. Blood clotting is independent of oxygen, so you'll form clots just fine.
14 lbs/sq inch is not a GREAT deal of pressure. The biggest problem with outer space (apart from not being able to breathe) is the (lack of) temperature in the shade, and all that radiation if you're in the sunlight. Skin is tough enough to survive 14.7lbs/sq inch. If I remember correctly I think skin needs around 100lbs/sq inch to tear. Look at all those people pulling buses and airplanes with bodily appendages (ears, penises, etc).
Upon hearing the news of this "flip-flopping," President Bush confidently stepped in for the Mozilla group and challenged the black hats to "bring it on."
In before Bush declares Mozilla to be a terrorist organization and launches a war of aggression against it.
I think the idea is that their target market is people who can't afford a regular phone. Hey hang on, yeah, lets advertise products to people who don't have any money! What a concept!/sarcasm
evolution is also pretty much just a theory at this point, too.
Whatever. This is always such a great troll. You think. However it just shows how poorly educated you are. Enroll in university, do a year or so of genetics, microbiology and biochemistry courses, and then get back to me about "theory". NONE of that shit would work if evolution didn't work. Yet surprise, all that shit works!
"Gravity" is also a "theory". Yet 9.86 meters per second squared is the rate you will accelerate when I push you out the window on the 12th floor, and that's guaranteed. Now turn around.
Everyone knows the extinctions were perfectly explained using the Theory of Intelligent Smiting.
It's not a theory. If you turn your bible to Hebrews 13:1: "Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
by this we can interpret that at some point creatures on the earth neglected "hospitality", which can be taken to mean they were far to aggressive. By doing so, they have "entertained angels unawares", which can be taken to mean that the angels came suddenly, smiting all that was before them. So that brotherly love can continue. Clearly these verses point out the Lord's will in repeatedly cleansing the earth of impure, hostile creatures so that when man arrives we would fear nothing in this Perfect World.
This random biblical interpretation brought to you by Random Bible Verse and my own 100% correct interpretation.
(by the way, I'm an atheist - for the sarcasm impaired.)
Your physician analogy is terrible. The human body has automatic mechanisms to stop us from bleeding to death.
No, actually your sense of humor failed you. All bleeding stops, when either the blood clots OR THE PATIENT DIES. See, it was a joke - one I tend to use a lot in the ER. I guess what I was hinting at is don't worry, soon you won't have any liberties left to be taken away.
A patient with no pulse and no blood pressure is what I call a stable patient. Yes he is dead. But at least now he is stable.
Also, I don't think that prison is a possibility. I know of NO states that waste the expenses of a state prison on sentences unless the sentence is over one year.
Funny, I seem to remember a certain female "celebrity" going to jail for 40 days, which is certainly less than a year. So California is one state you forgot. There must be more.
IANAL but didn't copyright law allow the reproduction of "small portions" of any work, "for the purposes of review"?
Unless she lives in one of those silly places that have criminalized using cameras in cinemas she should get herself a good lawyer and help get some of our rights back.

If you're in the lobby, you can get away with anything, apparently.

Well, you did infer that he flip flops a lot...
then explain it with a simple analogy!
Well see, it's like a car...
And I thought cow farts caused global warming...

Yeah I know the (kM1M2)/r^2 thing, (and the similar one for charge) I was just trying to keep it simple.
But you do know what that verse actually refers to, don't you?
Ask me if I give a damn.
Just a theory. Jesus.
:D
I agree with that statement. Jesus is just a theory. Unproven at that. Well done, sir.
Oh, that's not what you meant, is it?
evolution is also pretty much just a theory at this point, too.

Guilt or not, I don't face the same penalty if I punch you in the face or if I shoot you in the head. There are degrees of guilt.
Oh no. The MPAA will want her to pay 1/400th of the production cost of the movie, so 1/400th of $150 M is $375,000. Cash please.
so the studio will lose somewhere in the BILLIONS of dollars!
Don't forget, THOUSANDS of people were put out of work by this thoughtless 20 second act.

No, I have tons of it already.
