Refreshing there is some common sense creeping into this global warming/climate change/the new name when the current one looses its umph. Naturally the pro-we-ignore-the-earths-climate-has-changed-over-millions-of-years crowd cry foul. I cannot ever recall a group of scientists like these folks be so opposed and go to the lengths they do to squelch any and all dissenting views. That is not science but fanaticism.
If they are going to do that, then the same standard should applies to our public school system. My federal tax dollars are federal tax dollars and that does not change regardless who gets my federal tax dollars.
Forced if you mean by say if you were a non-Muslim in a Muslim country, then yeah. Refusing can cause your death.
But if you mean God forcing you, no. He gave you freewill and honors that will.
they (UAE) say it would be suicide for such a trip but suicide is OK if they strap bombs on a kid to blow up their enemies and do in the name of allah.
Yeah well they will postulate a theory and then pretend its true the Woolly Mammoths, Lions, Tigers were actually capitalists and conspired to rape the Earth of natural resources because all they could to was fart methane causing global warming in their time.
I do not consider " teaching "all sides" of "competing theories" to be rhetoric. If "science" cannot withstand alternative theories to be taught alongside their theories then it is not science. Those advocating creationism have just as many valid points as the rabid theorists believing as they do.
Their best bet is (if they are still alive) contact the old time hardware engineers predating chips. I worked on several systems in the Air Force designed and built in the early 60s and just before the first microchips were created.
One such machine was used to calculated the range of geosynchronous satellites using TTL (can transistors only) occupying an entire equipment rack. In a nutshell it was a hardwired computer designed to do one thing and one thing only.
I think if they could reduce their program to boolean equations it might be possible to get a ballpark idea the needed gates.
I agree on a number of points but in my view the real criminal, guilty party, etc is the Obama administration. If we had a properly run federal government they (the government) would have said to GM; So sorry for your problem but we have bankruptcy laws to help you out of your predicament. It is my suspicion GM knew full well they could not survive the scrutiny of bankruptcy proceedings and decided to call in political favors.
Disagree about GM being liquidated. Instead of Obama acting outside the scope of his authority (unconstitutionally), GM should have been allowed to enter into the normal bankruptcy process as thousands of other businesses have done over the past. Only after the various bankruptcy phases were completed and it became clear no resolution could fix their problem; then they should have been liquidated.
Punishing GM by immediate liquidation because of Obama's irresponsibility is irresponsible.

I expected better from Google.
Indeed, science is its own religion, magic, all manner of hocus pocus and witchcraft all rolled up into one.
No, the eleventy-seventy group was passing bad data.

In his case I don't think even the second one applies.

A feeble brained person could have told you without taking a mind altering drug like LSD.

Your confusing that with the Obama promise of transformation... oh wait, never mind.
Breaking up the NSA is pointless when warrant-less actions are allowed.
without the ice ocean water heat ups meaning it HAS to absorb heat.
Slashdot. The beta site looks like shit.
In the 10 or so years I have been surfing the web. There is no site I have ever run across that I would pay to read.

There needs to be more.
There's got to be a fried chicken joke in there some where.
No doubt caused by global warming... I'm sure.

the NSA.
I know. Its full of stars.
Now there's a good way to discourage illegal copying of someone's work; make them pay extra for crappy copy. Yeah like that is a good idea.
