Really, you say that with such conviction. Would you drink untreated, or lightly treated fracking water every day for a year? Because AFAIK nobody but the fracking companies knows exactly what they're putting into their mixtures (and often not even then, many wildcaters buy from Halliburton and friends). The companies have fought extremely hard against any attempt to have them disclose what they are using, or at having and independent scientific analysis of the safety of the fracking effluent. One of the few scholarly articles I've found shows significant risks: The analysis of effluent samples collected prior to the PADEP’s request supports our first hypothesis that concentrations of analytes in effluent were above water quality criteria (Table 1). Ba, Sr, and bromides are of particular public health concern. For the metals strontium and barium, both surpassed the federal MCL for drinking water link
Bullshit. There was a case here locally where a farm that had had fine drinking water for almost 200 years suddenly had flammable water with Benzene levels 5-10x the allowable limit. They have water reports from as little as 2 years before the fracking began because they were contemplating selling the farm (they ended up donating most of the land to the county for a park and taking a 100 year tax abatement on the homestead instead, which is how the land ended up being fracked to begin with, talk about no good deed going unpunished). You can check out the story yourself if you think I'm some fringe lunatic.
Trains will probably never run on synth fuel, with a train storage is a complete non-issue, fuel takes up a tiny fraction of the available cargo room and towing capacity so trains will just use lightly compressed natural gas directly, it's WAY more energy efficient that way and the conversion from traditional diesel is trivial (Berkshire owned CSX is already starting to convert their fleet)..
Natural gas basically just subsidizes the cost of drilling, the profit comes from the liquid petroleum fraction, that's why BP recently pulled out of their holdings in SE Ohio, their test wells were all much drier than expected resulting in wells that had ROIs well below other global areas so they shifted their capital elsewhere. So as long as they can find large pockets of wet gas there will be as much supply as the transportation network can handle, and if they're finding enough wet gas then liquification will become economical and we'll start shipping natural gas to Europe, which will have interesting geopolitical impacts as it will neuter Putin.
It's much more important than the 31k affected sites, 1024 roots are weak enough targets that just about any nation state and many crime syndicates can create a flood of valid and trusted certs just by factoring the private key of that one CA cert.
50% inedible By this I mean, either too tough to chew, like some woody shelf mushrooms, or just plain indigestible, like oak or maple leaves, for example.
25% " edible, but not incredible" There are a lot of mushrooms out there that are edible, but tasteless.
20% will make you sick In this category I put things that will irritate your digestive tract. In mild cases, this means that you will throw up after eating the mushrooms. In more severe cases, it means that your entire digestive tract becomes extremely upset and expels whatever is inside it, in whatever direction is quickest. In very severe cases, your digestive tract continues trying to expel whatever is in it for a few days.
4% will be tasty to excellent In other words, these are the mushrooms that there's actually a reason to eat.
So I did some research, natural gas is 26% of total energy production but the methane leaked through use is roughly 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions, so replacing all coal and petroleum with methane would only result in an ~70% reduction in total greenhouse gas effects, using propane from carbon neutral sources would be closer to 98%.
Forget the 86, the NSPIRE is allowed on all major standardized tests and it's worlds better than any of the 8x calcs, and the CAS model is allowed on everything but the IB and ACT (and honestly unless you can't get a decent score on the SAT or live in a state that requires the ACT for instate scholarships there's not a ton of reason to take it). It's what I bought my son, I figured why waste $150 on an ancient platform that won't help him much in his last 2 years of high school math when I could spend $125 on the black and white NSPIRE CAS and he'd be set for his entire academic career.
I wonder how such a law would interact with federal mandates that DOT plan for sealevel rise or army corp of engineering projects that require the contractors to do the same? I'd assume that the supremacy clause would mean that the contractors/DOT would have to follow the federal regulations and they would be indemnified by the law being invalid as it is overridden by federal statute, but it certainly puts them in a pickle.
Probably because none of the vulnerabilities listed at wikipedia involve cloning the card, they all incude forcing terminals into offline chip and pin mode which is not going to be supported by most US card issuers. I've been following EMV for many years now and outside of some very controlled lab experiments involving very cold temperatures and long side channel analysis nobody has managed to pull off a duplication attack for online transactions (at least nobody that's published information, and there have been no wide scale attacks that can be traced back to fraudulent duplicates used for online transactions).
Nope, they will issue a new card with at least chip and signature by next fall, October 2015 is the deadline from Visa for the card providers to move over as well as the merchants. After that date if the card issuer has issued a chip card and the merchant uses the magstripe then the merchant is liable for the fraud, there is no way in hell any card issuer is going to give up that kind of liability offload for one moment, let alone 2 years. The idiot bots that answer the phone have no idea what's actually going on, but I can all but guarantee you that you will be getting a new card around this time next year with a chip.

No, Republic is prepaid just like Virgin Mobile. I use plan as that's the monthly rate for that service level, in fact Republic is much more flexible than anyone else in the industry, you can change your plan twice per month, so you can be on the $10 call and text only plan and if you find yourself away from WiFi and in need of data to look up some important bit of information you can change over to the $25 3G plan, grab what you need and then revert to the $10 plan and your monthly bill will be around $11.
Or spend $149 on a Moto G on Republic Wireless, use the $25 plan and save money in less than a year (or if you don't mind just using WiFi for data go with the $10 plan and you're saving money by month 5), plus you get better service because unlike Virgin Mobile, Republic roams to Sprints partner networks.
Yeah, nobody buys PC's, that's why there were 76M shipped in Q2... Granted, it's less than the 240M smartphones sold in the same quarter, but PC's have never shipped in much higher quantity then they did last quarter.
Remember, if something is free you aren't the customer, you are the product and so long as they're not pissing off their advertisers these companies can do anything that doesn't significantly reduce their user counts.
Then your company is breaking the law and you should report them. Companies are required to pay above the prevailing wage for the position and region. We paid both of our H1B workers well above average for our staff and when they worked out sponsored their green cards (and boy is that process a cluster!), we're the kind of employer that the program was actually designed for, we were looking for extremely rare talent sets and had advertised the positions for months before looking abroad. I have to say that I have much bigger problems with the screwups in the green card program than I do with the H1B system, permanently bringing smart people from abroad raises the GDP of the US and brings diversity to the country.

Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas.

Pretty sure the job description for junior programmer that the DOL uses doesn't qualify for an H1B slot...
Then your company is breaking the law and you should report them. Companies are required to pay above the prevailing wage for the position and region. We paid both of our H1B workers well above average for our staff and when they worked out sponsored their green cards (and boy is that process a cluster!), we're the kind of employer that the program was actually designed for, we were looking for extremely rare talent sets and had advertised the positions for months before looking abroad.
