When climate scientists say is often used to justify restricting in various ways things that most people either rely on or enjoy.
I challenge you to present me one published paper where a climate scientist tells me what I can and can't do.
You are implying he claimed something that he did not claim. Re-read the GP. He did not claim that what climate scientists say is often used BY CLIMATE SCIENTISTS to justify restricting yada yada yada.
It seems to me that there ought to be (and, in fact, there are) more productive uses of gold than to have it sit in a vault serving as backing store for another medium of exchange.
It seems to me that SGAE is the victim here. They were the ones from whom money was embezzled. The perps are the senior officials within that organization.
Why do we even need tech futurists in the first place? Why do we need to listen to people telling us what life is going to be like 20 years from now? Seriously, is this all that guy does? Does he actually make a living out of playing Carnac the Magnificent? The fact that we nonchalantly refer to someone as a "noted futurist", as if the idle speculation we all do is some kind of meaningful profession, is just mind-boggling to me.
If you use a mark in trade, you have the trademark right.
It's really just that simple? Well, that certainly simplifies the entire issue, doesn't it? All Apple has to do is use the mark "iCloud" in trade, and they'll have the trademark right. Problem solved.
Double whoosh. You got it wrong. Read causality's response in #36407926 more carefully. It indicates the punishment he would impose on someone for telling the complete truth . Smallpond facetiously replied by suggesting that if that's the punishment for telling the truth, then the punishment for lying must be unfathomable.
I'm still trying to figure out how "Habeas Corpus" and "fair trials", got lumped into the same group as "indefinite detention, free speech zones, [and] seizures of property without warrant or compensation".
War Games nonsense (a small sample): 1) Lightman's computer has the same speech synthesizer as NORAD's. 2) WOPR can figure out a password (launch code) one character at a time.
Superman nonsense:No computer has ever been able to understand the concept of a 2D coordinate, until Richard Pryor taught it.
I read it too quickly. I'm the one who had it backwards. I thought, because of the muon's negative charge, it would continue to behave like Helium chemically, but would be heavier (presumably like Hydrogen, which is lighter, which is why I thought it was backwards).
The summary says they start with a helium atom (which has 2 protons and 2 neutrons), and they make it look like a hydrogen atom (with only one proton and no neutrons) my making it *heavier*? This makes no sense whatsoever
At least in HS science you learn the real science that other scientists figured out the hard way. We did *not* have tests to see how proficient we were at punching numbers into the calculator.
Neither citation includes, as far as I could tell, the bit about him asking how many people are there, and being told 3000-4000. All I heard were the inflated figures.

This one's been around for a while, but it never gets old.

The last time we declared war was World War II. How many bombs have we dropped since then?

There is no "dark side of the moon". A side of the moon always faces the earth, but it doesn't always face the sun.

Mod parent up.
You mean words like "apple" and "amazon"?
The moment they said "why", rather than "whether", they ceased to be objective.

"Allegiance" is not synonymous with "Obedience". Nor is "nation" synonymous with "government".
Can you give an example of some such uses and what corresponding advertising implies such uses?
Period. Full stop.
