Everything I've seen says that natural gas is two to three times cleaner than coal. That's not "marginally" cleaner; it's a significant improvement, and it is clearly better for the environment than sticking with coal.
And the US isn't forcing Asian countries to buy coal. They need energy -- China's economy is growing by 10% every year. They've determined that coal is the best choice for now, and this is somehow the US's fault?
I'm not quite sure what you're calling bullshit about. Not everything the US does is necessarily bad.
...16% of the population. By coincidence, that's the same portion of the workforce that is government employed, eating out the essence of the country.
I know, right? Fucking teachers. Bunch of leaches. And don't even get me started on sanitation works, law enforcement agents, paramedics and firefighters. Assholes. The whole lot of em.
He's innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the law. That doesn't mean I have to or necessarily should assume he's innocent. Sorry, but fleeing to the border raises my eyebrows. On the other hand, he seems to be paranoid, so there's a chance that he fled even though he is innocent. But I don't have to presume innocence when evaluating the situation because I'm not acting as a juror.
Most men I know wouldn't do that. If all the men you know would, you need to spend your time with a different group. This reeks of the "any man would rape a woman if he could get away with it" nonsense that floats around.
In short, the two authors are uber-libertarian economists who wanted to prove that lock-in is not real. And they used all of the dubious arguments one would need to support such a notion. Seriously.
There were many, many criticisms, including:
1) The fact that the control group contained 10 mice. That's right. 10 mice.
2) Risk didn't scale with dose
3) One of the authors is a homeopath, and both have a long history of making dubious (at best) claims about GMO
4) The rats who were given water laced with Round-Up lived longer than the control group. If you believe GMO causes cancer based on this study, you should also be trumpeting the fact that Round-Up seems to prevent cancer
5) The rats used develop tumors at a very high rate
The study is beyond flawed or problematic. It's worthless, and it should be disregarded entirely by serious scientists and policy-makers.
Strange that I didn't see Obama meeting with any world leaders on any of his trips to Hawaii.
Obama's vacations are more like vacations. Bush made it his second office. Considering the fact that Bush spent, last I checked, three times as many days on vacation as Obama, he didn't really have much of a choice but to actually do some work while he was out there. Personally, I'd rather have the president work in the capital instead of flying everyone out to his remote ranch.
And when Bush was on vacation, the unemployment rates was not over 6%.
Apple doesn't abide by Google's standard pricing. They had the biggest contract by far, and Google surely wanted to keep it. (Google just dropped Maps pricing by 88%, incidentally. They do need to turn a profit.)
The ultimate irony, however, is the fact that Apple would be whining about Google not being fair with their pricing. This is the same Apple who's launching countless lawsuits against Android manufacturers. If I were running Google, I wouldn't even negotiate with them. Nor would I submit a Google Maps app for iOS.
Maps and navigation are a big deal on smartphones. Phone calls are their most important function, but Internet browsing and maps/navigation vie for the second most important feature.
And no, Google Maps doesn't even begin to approach this failure. Not even close. Aside from the horrific rendering, missing roads, and an inability to find what should be obvious searches, it doesn't even attempt to duplicate useful functionaly present in Google Maps. Public transportation? Use 3rd-party apps. Walking directions? Lol who walks these days?
I want a toaster to toast whatever I throw it in. That's an open toaster. A toaster than only toasts Wonder Bread, on the other hand, would be a closed toaster.
Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life. It deals only with existing populations. Attacking evolution on these grounds is entirely unfair, and it misrepresents the logic and data that supports the theory. The vast majority of ID supporters seem more incensed by the notion that humans evolved just like any other animal, and I don't think it's fair for you to claim that they object to evolution simply because they're conflating it with a tangential field of study.
Again, a bounce effect. It's a bounce effect. It's a meaningless bit of visual flair that should not be patentable. The fact that you can be sued and lose based on something so trivial is the problem.
Oh wait, it's a bounce effect on a touchscreen device. I guess this should change things?
But they should have chosen the analysis that best fits what they determine to be the appropriate analysis, not which one punishes Samsung appropriately. Having multiple analyses does not free them of their obligation to follow the instructions and make their decision accordingly.
Not sure if it's a big deal, but they definitely borked that one.
Because crazyjj and a whole slew of "other" posters consistenly get the first post of every story and slam Google with, at best, dubious arguments. This story has nothing to do with Google and his claim isn't true.
Some sources say the death toll will reach 4,000. Others predict somewhere in the 20,000-60,000 range. Greenpeace predicts up to 200,000. One Russian publication said 1,000,000, but their methodology has been thoroughly panned. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop some anti-nuclear idealogues from citing it, despite being five times greater than the already dubious Greenpeace estimate.
Thankfully, we have companies like Microsoft and Apple -- true bastions of ethical business practice. It would be a shame if we lost their litiguous, anti-competitive behavior.

China is using more coal. Let's blame America, not the annual movement of tens of millions of people from poverty to the middle class.
Sheesh.
Because I know I'm not the only one who is bothered by this: )

Combined with GrooveIP / Talkatone / SipDroid combined with Google Voice for wifi calling, it's clearly the best deal available.
Google is hard :(

Complete, unmitigated, 100% bullshit.

Here's a pretty good rebuttal to that farce of an article.

Don't base your opposition to GMO on that study:
...and many, many more.

Yeah. He was only dealing with two wars.
Yeah, totally. Remember when we had that budget surplus? What a disaster.

No, there is plenty to see here.

Apple fans agree.

You don't pay to use the API, you pay to access their data on their servers. You must know this.
