The reason you warmers fail is precisely because you treat people like they are stupid. You know what else is acidified with CO2? Soda. Soda doesn't scare anybody. Normal people understand fish don't want to swim in soda anymore than plants crave Brawdo, but when they ask "How much will it acidify?" your attempt to deceive them with what you admit is a very small number is uncovered and you lose their trust.
In this case it was wind, not temperatures, that has pushed the ice tightly together in the area where these ships are stuck.
Remember, the original stuck Russian vessel was retracing the steps of a century old expedition. Funny how Sir Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expedition didn't have this problem back in 1911 despite the fact that
Cape Denison proved to be unrelentingly windy; the average wind speed for the entire year was about 50 mph (80 km/h), with some winds approaching 200 mph.
This isolated incident is already morphing to fit your beliefs, isn't it? Scientists, tourists, and journalists? I thought it was some big mission led by a climate researcher to retrace the steps of some decades old mission. You know, to prove how much ice has disappeared over that time period and we can learn how CO2 is going to kill us all.
Soon it will no longer be serious climate scientists that marooned themselves in Antarctic ice such that icebreakers could not reach them in the middle of summer. No, it will just be a bunch of tourists. Nothing to see here, move along.
Jacob Applebaum detailed the latest revelations on the NSA at 30c3 wherein he describes software to launch automated malware attacks "designed for at scale explotation" which is being used for "fishing expeditions, it's more like fishing crusades... targeting Muslims." He describes NSA drones being used to wirelessly compromise wifi routers from a distance of 8 miles. Also mentioned, the NSA is shipping compromised American hardware ordered online including iPhones, Dell PowerEdge servers, HP servers, Solaris servers, and more. He wraps up the talk mentioning "a specialized technology for beaming energy into you and the computer systems around you" to compromise systems. Up to 1KW of energy specifically. It's clear from his presentation that what the NSA is doing is not just passive collection. It is not the digital equivalent of a wiretap. It is the digital equivalent of a drone firing a hellfire missle on you.
Apple is a very small aspect of this story. The NSA has militarized the internet.
The debate is not whether the spy tools should exist
Did you watch the hour long youtube video? I'm guessing no. This is about whether it's okay for the NSA to launch automated malware attacks at scale. That extends far beyond the realm of passive "spy tools." Should the NSA be allowed to infect your machine with malware or fly a drone over your neighborhood to wirelessly compromise wifi routers? These are not tools of targeted spying anymore than carpet bombing your neighborhood would be targeted. They are actively infecting your systems, making them dangerously insecure.
Yeah, layered security. You have a six foot thick iron door on the front of your house, right next to your 25mm thick glass window. Good luck with that.
All your software doesn't matter if your keyboard has a wireless transmitter hidden in the cable. If I know your password, I can sit down and log in as you. It would not be hard for a maid to replace your keyboard in your absence.
Can't protect the system from a highly funded government entity? Shucks why bother protecting it at all! I would rather it be secure against any idiot with a bootable usb drive even if the NSA could get in.
Anyone with a usb stick can ruin your shit. There's no magic going on at the NSA. I merely point to them to illustrate the staggering enormity of software available which can defeat the simple "encrypt it" plan from an attacker with root and/or physical access to your box.
Security theater is security theater. Why waste developers' time implementing a feel good encryption scheme that is hardly better than no encryption at all? I can't imagine this would be a high priority task. Also... Open Source: If it matters so much to you, fix it yourself.
If someone has physical access to your hardware, they're already in a position to do much worse. Encrypted drive? Let me just load this keylogger into BIOS mmm kay?
Pitting the two legal 'sides' against each other in a figurative battle and commenting on the results (as TFA does) is missing the point completely.
Boy howdy. This judge ruled it's legal under sec 215 of the patriot act. The other judge ruled section 215 is unconstitutional. Both judges can be right.
Imagine if the legislature passed a constitutional amendment instead of a law in 2001. They had the votes to do it. BTW, I agree with your conclusion. If the NSA isn't submitting broken encryption standards and bad commits, then someone else will. Even if they stop, this is the wake up call.
If you aren't working on NSA proof apps/protocols now, you're wasting your time. Nobody will comply with hijackers after 9/11. Nobody will blindly trust your code after Snowden's leaks.
For wired connections, that may be the case. But I have no contract unlimited data for $30/mo. That's less than half the price I pay for cable, and the 4G is as fast as cable. I'm teetering on cancelling cable already.
If the FCC decides Net Neutrality is no good, I would suggest sites pass the new costs to end users.
We've detected your ISP is Comcast. Due to fees Comcast charges YouTube to deliver content to you, YouTube is no longer free on Comcast. If you would like to continue using YouTube, you must change your ISP or pay YouTube $X/mo to offset this cost. We are sorry Comcast has decided to double charge you. Thank you for using YouTube
I find it particularly interesting that these people want us to teach the girls until they discover we are young and male. The irony is WE are the ones blamed for being gender biases.
You want me to teach your kids CS but then accuse me of being a pedophile for wanting to teach kids? Well then, fuck off. They can teach themselves, just like I taught myself.
Unfortunately, having a radio on for "a while" is going to put quite a lot of strain on a mobile battery. Still, it's good to see them working on this. Perhaps we could set up relays through a home server that has a power source.
Then we should form a trade union with accreditation. First we need to get a law passed that demands only accredited individuals be allowed. Pick any tech disaster (healthcare.gov?) where we can point and say, "See! We need some standardization in who is qualified to write software!!" We can charge large amounts of money for 'official' training from our accredited university programs. Then we intentionally limit the number of people who can be allowed through the system each year. Finally, if someone with accreditation decides to do something we don like (make a programming environment anyone can figure out) then we disbar them or take away their medical license, or whatever end up calling the programmer accreditation stripping process.
Yeah? No. I prefer the current meritocracy where anyone is permitted to play if they like.

Ha ha ha! land-only. The earth is 66% ocean bro. You were just caught cherry picking while blaming someone else for cherry picking.

Everybody know's there's a 1998 spike. Who's cherry picking now?

How's that global warming thing working out for you?

I hate how this story has warped into an Apple bash. Go watch the original presentation.

It won't matter what you use if you let anyone on your network with an android phone. Oh hai, let's back up everything to teh googles.

Funny you should mention credit card surcharges. Those are on the way after a long court battle, and a federal judge has already declared it unconstitutional for states to block it.

Google doesn't pay tax on billions in profits, yet uses taxpayer funded roads and bus stops. Sounds like a damn fine reason to protest.
I can dictate
You have to show me
I will question why
Yep. I wouldn't work for you. Your language give you away instantly.

Unfortunately, having a radio on for "a while" is going to put quite a lot of strain on a mobile battery. Still, it's good to see them working on this. Perhaps we could set up relays through a home server that has a power source.
Oh, and, of course, any profits here get taxed by the federal government as well.
Hahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! What a maroon. What an ignaramous!
Boeing doesn't pay taxes. They get a tax return. Fuck Boeing and their entire supply chain. Fuck them in the ass with a cactus.
What makes you think we haven't read it? It's been a few years since I last read it. 1984 is free online.
