It can and has been argued that the Fed's "printing" of money is simply replacing the money that was lost in the economy. This additional cash has a negligible impact on the total availability of money in the economy, therefore has caused little inflationary pressure and at least in the near term will not.
The egregious aspect is that the average Joe lost a bundle in 401K's and other investments, but only a little bit of the Tarp, or the extra cash being printed is being trickled down to them. By and large it's going to the banks and Wall Street entities, to keep them solvent. They were the main culprits, guided by greed, that lead to the economic melt down, and they got a bail out and the average person is financing it through their economic losses.
Could always sue them for violating your first and fourth amendment rights. I know I could use an extra 41K.
The activities of the police, like those of other public officials, are subject to public scrutiny. . . . Videotaping is a legitimate means of gathering information for public dissemination and can often provide cogent evidence, as it did in this case. In sum, there can be no doubt that the free speech clause of the Constitution protected Robinson as he videotaped the defendants on October 23, 2002. . . . Moreover, to the extent that the troopers were restraining Robinson from making any future videotapes and from publicizing or publishing what he had filmed, the defendants' conduct clearly amounted to an unlawful prior restraint upon his protected speech. . . . We find that defendants are liable under [42 USC] 1983 for violating Robinson's Fourth Amendment right to be protected from an unlawful seizure. -- Judge Harvey Bartle III
Wow... What was the cop doing in the middle of the street - Telling people to slow down? What if they don't? I bet the next few people at least did.
Read this additional information... Officer Patrick Pogan, 23, who has been on patrol for less than a month, was filmed in Times Square during Friday's Critical Mass bike ride. The tape was posted anonymously on YouTube. His target, Christopher Long, 29, was charged with attempted assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
I assume the charges will be dropped shortly, and Christopher will be issued a check with a few zero's.
Definitions of climate:the weather in some location averaged over some long period of time...
Sounds like climate is weather to me... But what do I know, I don't have my degree in high and mighty.
Did you bother trying to understand the rational and underlining point, I was making, about proper scientific method? I didn't say the theory was wrong or the evidence available doesn't support the theory, just jumping to comprehensive conclusions based on very thin / little evidence is.
A quote from Slashdot, from awhile ago, about a very different subject but same principle.
Let me put it this way: the whole point of science is to teach skepticism, systematic investigation, and logic. When these assholes try to tell kids that the Bible has the same status as scientific theories, they're making a direct attack on those principles. Skepticism is not faith, investigation is not dogma, and logic is not irrationality, yet these people are trying to damage the children by brainwashing them into confusing the two!
So children the lesson today is don't be married to ideas as they are subject to change with additional information / evidence and you'll look foolish when people point out that you believe in dogma.
show me the science that proves you can increase the concentration of a strong IR absorbing molecule (CO2) and not increase the temperature of the planet.
I will prove CO2 doesn't increase global temperatures right after you prove God doesn't exist...
How about I say global warming is part of the natural cycle and the amount of CO2 produced by human beings would not affect the climate... prove it. Prove me wrong as I close my ears and not hear anything you say.
Man, I hate absolute assertions and bad scientific arguments for "proving" or "disproving" theory. CO2 increasing worldwide temps is a theory. Sure in a closed model CO2 certainly retains heat in a circular vessel but Earth is not a closed model with determining variables not known or guessed at. Add them or change them and the model totally changes. I'm still waiting for an accurate 10 day forecast much less a decade or century long forecast of climate temps. I think the ball is in the court of CO2 ouster windbags (COW's) to show their models work over a long period of time which to date they have not. Not to say, the theory is wrong, but that it is just a theory.
Anyways I'm more in favor of getting off foreign sources of energy, and not to have my air and water polluted by the nasty things emitted, more nasty then CO2, when fossil fuels burn. It is a much more compelling, scientific provable argument.
Is there anything wrong with the idea of combining solar sails WITH Ion thrusters? Both should be light weight, not require a large energy source, and theoretical light speed acceleration. I mean besides what type of space craft would benefit from this concept? Interstellar travel maybe? Spend half the trip speeding up and the other half slowing down? Okay, maybe not. What other type of vehicle could a solar sail and Ion thruster be used for?
The earliest reference I came across for this quote was 2003, but I've been unable to track who originally wrote it... Does anyone know, as I like to nominate him/her for Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science.
okay I'll bite. If you are being truthful, your little record store is going out of business because it is an outdated method of selling music. It's bit like a stable owner blaming stage coach thieves in 1912 for the dwindling number of customers. It sucks for you, but it's time to find something else to do with your life.
Pollution is bad + wastefulness is bad + simple scientific models prove greenhouse effects + Earth has gotten warmer recently => Lets jump on board the global warming / carbon doom train so we can change some attitudes.
However weather, which includes temperature, is a known chaotic system and simple models are not adequate. The weather man can't even get the weather right for tomorrow, so the likelihood of the current, carbon is reason we have global warming, models being accurate predictors 30 years from now is unlikely. By making absolute assertions we will melt the polar ice caps, polar bears will die, and our land will become inhospitable,... etc is bad science.
I much rather the talking points not dumb the material to absolutes or fear mongering. Instead maybe something like... it seems likely increased / continued carbon emissions rates will have a net positive increase of the global mean temperatures, that predictively, if great enough, will result climate change affecting all aspects of humanity. By reducing our carbon footprint we not only reduce a likely factor in global warming, but in the process reduce other pollutants associated with carbon that enter our water and air (don't want to be Beijing do yah), and decrease our dependence of hydrocarbon, aka foreign oil, (so our desire to be in Baghdad will be a true reflection of our desire to bring democracy to the area (aka we're out of here)).
But then again I don't have a B.S. so I could be wrong.

I wonder how long it will be before gaming machines and PC applications meet again? I too remember many nights using C64 and a clunky word processor to write something for school, and then later on playing a Sid Meier's game.

You mean to say the Slowskys actually had a fast internet connection... This might lead to Mr Slowsky in a roadside ditch.
So basically it's a combination of a virtual keyboard, like IPad, and a touch pad, like a laptop.

Or imagine they did that in Cuba... oh wait.
Yes I totally agree. We all should use the human temp scale; so lets see.... -300 F ~ -3.055 HT. Gee that's cold.
