My memory was that their offense was --for economic reasons--silencing a scientist who was publishing that suddenly increased rates of radon release in the region indicated the probability of a large quake in the near future.
Oh, and the scientists who were charged were those who had the specific job of earthquake preparedness.
That said, I suspect a major part of their fault was not in caring too much about tourist dollars, but rather in their knee-jerk reaction that earthquakes can't be predicted, therefore anyone who predicts them is a charletan.
Which is what they were taught in standard courses, which is why they had the certifications, which is why they had the job.
But certifications isn't science. Certifications is politics. In fact, most of what you think of as science isn't science, but politics. Science is researching, making predictions, doing experiments, analyzing data, and analyzing results..
2. Animals do respond to various electromagnetic changes. That doesn't mean that animals that are good earthquake predictors are necessarily responding to those changes-- there are many others that they could be responding to others. There are noises, gas releases, earthquake clouds, and other such signs of an imminent (read ongoing, but not noticeable to us) quake that they might respond to.
See the other posts on the redwood ants.
3. Some have. I think there was a guy named jobs who did this. The chinese did this once. Yes, they are discounted and explained away, but science has to start somewhere.
The best explanation that I have seen for why so many politically powerful experts dismiss earthquake prediction out of hand, is because instead of persuing a causal analysis, back in the 70's, the field turned to statistical analysis, which by nature cannot predict quakes.
The best way to predict quakes is to start with ones we know are predictable--those generated by nuclar tests, for example.
Then try to decrease the field of unknown, and increase the field of known.
I think he was very good at not pointing out that it was GWB who began all kinds of anti-constitutional , and yes, high treason policies as "torture is not torture", thus undermining our entire system of government.
That said, let's simplify this: considering the rules of courts make all evidence questionable in all cases, I call for people serving as jurors to first consider whether the preponderance of evidence indicates guilt, and then consider whether there is any way that there can not be doubt far beyond reasonable, resulting in cases being found "not guilty".
Okay, I have a question for you. I have a laptop w/ a dead PATA. Replacing the PATA would be about $180. Several times I tried to buy acheaper USB drive, and I keeep finding offboard boot is disabled. Go online, and find out that it's intentional. I WANT to install mint to an offboard drive.
What cloud service is this, or is this just a stupid shill?
Our company uses the M$ cloud, and th online excel spreadsheet has such limited functionality as to be useless--practically speaking, no pivot tables, no lookup tables, for starters.
Add in that they deliberately ran an upgrade that remove file manipulation access from Windows XP computers, concurrent with announcing a one year "EOLife" on Windows XP...
And programming the thing is an elite-only event, I can say that M$ Cloud cannot be what you are talking about. So what I want to know is what cloud you ARE talking about.
Because I really am interested.
Working with microsoft is like trying to grow a vegetable garden in a junkyard.
That's my Lord you're blaspheming, blessed be His name. Worse,Nagree with mst of the rest of your post. But the reason they are doing it is different now vs. then.
I'm sorry, but 90% of slow is the software bloat, some of which I figure is done deliberately. So windows 8 is likely to make you even slower-- which is a good thing.
Maybe with windows 8 you paid shills won't be able to practically access slashdot.
I wonder if that is why Microsoft just upgraded M$ Cloud to not work with XP, at the same time as saying "well, we'll support it for a year, but Apr 8 you're out of luck", and at the same time being extremely slow/nonresponsive on answering the service requests.
I've started suggesting a migration to Google Cloud. I'm sure it won't go thru, but...
Shoot, I think we could do better. In all the years since 1988, DOS 5/6 excepted, I've never had a good experience with M$. Some of my experiences have been enormously costly: like their Word98 corruption bugs, and failure to uphold their paid contract on service, replacing it with denials that anything was wrong, and 'don't bother us'. That one cost my small business a quarter of its income.
Get lost. I find it quite offensive what our forebears did to both Jews and blacks. To continue it or other offenses in the name of anything would be obscene.
I seem to remember that when Penn and Teller were guests at the Philadelphia Philharmonic, they had a great randomizer as to what song they would play last. The entire orchestra was blindfolded. The song was selected, and shown to the audience. Then Penn stepped up to the box, tapped his conductor's wand three times, and the orchestra playedthe correct final song, without a hitch.
Apparently that wasn't the way the Rwandan Hutu/Tutsi genocide played out. There, the hate speech was on the radio, by radio talk show hosts. In Bosnia, it was by the various new political leaders of the new governments... but the governments were very new. Stalin's genocide of the Ukranians and Lithuanians was more like what you say.
The genocidal US "downwind" experiments, and the Tuskegee experiments, or Andrew Jackson's "trail of tears"....I'm not really aware of what went on before the events.
So I don't think you're completely wrong, but I think you don't have a big enough picture.
I'm sorry, I thought that spin was a quantum characteristic. have an imbalanced sum of spin quantum numbers, and I would think you'd be rotating.
In other words, you'd be rotating relative to yourself.
Or again, if rotating, you experience centrifugal force due to the centripetal acceleration. So rotation is an internal, not external characteristic. Microscopic primarily, macroscopic only secondarily.
Indeed, conservation of momentum only follows secndarily out of conservation of angular momentum.
And there are 720Â in a circle. Go through 360Â, and you'd think you're facing the same way, but you're upside down. Us macroscopic composite beings lose track of that.
No. Skip school, get the two mccrape jobs, and buy the cheapest plot of land you can.
Next, trade up to a construction / factory labor job. Ready Ice, a cement precast company, what not. At a shipyard, you can get paid to learn welding.
Meanwhile, biointensively garden that land.
With the welding, turn around and buy a mobile home. That's about the time you move out of your parents' home.
Pick one near a community college, and rent out to roomers.
Then, when you have enough money and income to live and go to community college for two years, pick up a 2-year associate degree.
Now work another two years in the industry. Save your money.
Then go back to a four-year, and pick up that four-year degree.
Then graduate, and get a job with your experience. Make your degrees match the work you have already been doing.
Another two years work, and then back in for your masters (2 more).
So now you've aged 12 years, but you are basically self-supporting with a better job than anyone else your age, except those with massive connections or who were already rich.
And if it all goes south, you still have that garden plot. At some point, the city won't bother you for living on your own land -- maybe.
According to my grandfather, who lived in Burbank...
The way it works around Chicago is this: You get fairly rich, say a million dollars or so, maybe taxes of a hundred thousand. You die. The lawyer whose job it is to represent you finds any number of challengers, whom he pays to challenge the will. It doesn't matter how bad each case is, he just has to get enough sequential cases lined up to keep the will in probate.
He does this, until the estate is completely drained of its million dollars. At that point, the challengers immediately vanish, leaving the estate to go to the right and proper heirs.
Estate Net Original Value: $1M . Valuable Services Recieved: $1M. Amount paid for said valuable services Recieved: $1M. Taxes owed on Estate: $100k.
To the IRS. Good luck trying to duck that one. They need their money, scofflaw. Better pay up.
Whether he was correct or not, I do not know. However, the situation stimulated him to form a living trust.
All that's needed is for you to wake up and realize that when organized religion (Christianity, anyhow) says that you don't own yourself, but have had your freedom bought at a very high price, but now belong to Christ -- and therefore are not free to do as you wish, but need to bring it all to God in prayer... they actually are giving you true freedom.
Whereas when others say, "no, you'refre. To sell/destroy/ harm yourself, let me help you", they are enslaving and destroying you for their own profit.
Ä-- cept for the fact that the dark ages were far better than this so-called enlightened era of mass murder, human trafficking, torture-that-is-not-torture, unlimited power for the powerful without responsibility (corporatism)...
i'd argue with your post.
As it is, I agree with it 100%.
As long as it happens not by organized religion, but by the hand of God Himself (the task is too great for religion), that is all we need.
The reason why the suggested solution doesn't work for anyone on slashdot is that it sequires you to think, even a little bit. and, of course, this IS slashdot.
I also want to know what the energy out for energy in is. Corn based ethanol consumes more fuel than i t produces.AND it uses up valuable fertilizers like potassium and phophate. Those are in more seriously short supply than the fossil fuels.
Okay, on the Pearl Harbor bit, that was documented, standard published congressional hearing, by the Warren Commission. You won't find it there any more: with the document reclassification act under Clinton, the FBI came into the university libraries, removed some documents, replaced others. What you will find is that some of the volumes are new, some old. And a head university librarian w who was in charge back in the Clinton years, can probably give you his opinion on the reclassification act.
On the inflation bit, I may be wrong about it being exactly zero. But I do remember my father commenting on it. He was big into the peak everything theories, having invited the author as a seminar speaker for "careers in physics". He was also big into I-bonds, having noticed certain quirks about them: but he also noticed that the CPI inflation rate had been carefully held steady until the early 2000 years, when they dropped the inflation like a rock, popping the (admittedly preexisting) housing bubble.
Regarding "don't attribute to malice.." I didn't think I had at ributed anything at all. I had stated what had been done, and allow you to fill in the dots. But that said, it is very easy for those who are desperate for power to fall into malice. And who is more likely to attain power than those who seek it? And who is more likely to seek it than those who are deperate for it? Thus political systems, I think, are going to tend towards malice.
Okay, I was trying to be funny with the first line, but it was wrong of me ; I'm sorry. But the drive of tyrants to substitute silly freedom for freedom, and the battle on safety to quell freedom...... You are aware, aren't you, that it was the Nazis who burned the Reichstag? And that there is valid evidence that Pearl Harbor was known ahead of time--no, pushed for an. Arranged-- by the President , ahead of time, to force Americans into a war they didn't want? And that most people in the world tend to believe--again, not without good evidence, that the US. Government arranged 9-11?
And that the crash that led to the looting of people worldwide was arranged by the Fed, by means of first triggering a housing bubble, and then setting the inflation rate to zero? When doing that, in light of peak everything meant that wages HAD to fall, resulting in mass defaults?
Again, the tyrants wage a war on safety, to destroy freedom. They do it because it works.
To avoid that, you have to forget about safety, and hold on to your freedom.

Now see my point:
Freedom > safety.
Which is why tyrants engage a war on safety, to eliminate others' freedom.
