This sounds like the magic bullet we've been promised from the beginning of the computer age: [/sarcasm]

SERVICE IMPLEMENTATION
Application number: 20150032573
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of allowing a user to obtain a service using a processing system. The method utilises components each of which corresponds to a respective service portion provided by a respective entity. The method includes causing the processing system to determine a combination of components defining a sequence of service portions, in accordance with input commands received from the user. The processing system then implements the components in accordance with the component combination, thereby causing the sequence of service portions to be performed, such that the desired service to be performed.
Who stands to gain from increasing government (specifically environmental regulaton)?
Most of the vitriol is directed against the fossil fuel industry and their allies (Koch brothers, Bush family, Cheney, etc). The Democrats' goal is to replace the oil industry with their "Green Economy" in which the companies depend on the government for their existence via subsidies, start-up funding, etc.
I know math is hard, but you should try it sometime. According to the article, 86% of the scientists agreed that there is global warming, and 78% of those say humans contribute to it. That means.86 *.78 =.67, or roughly 2/3 believe that humans are contributing to warming. That is hardly a consensus. It's also a good illustration of how statistics can be presented in a way the deceives most readers (like you)..
A majority, according to the subjective reading of the testimony by this group, but not a consensus. And given the group's public position on the topic it shouldn't be a surprise that their interpretation of the testimony supports their "scientific consensus".
Yup. My experience is that a large percentage work for a couple of years, then start having babies and are gone forever. Daycare for one is tough, leaving two or more cute toddlers and paying for day care isn't worth going to the office.
They think that about 5 billion new trees are planted or sprout annually, yielding a net loss of 10 billion
They don't say where that number came from, most likely pulled from someplace where the Sun doesn't shine. When a section of forest is cleared either by cutting or burning the ground is soon covered in tree sprouts. Take a look at regeneration in Yellowstone National Park after the fires burned about 1/3 of it in the late 80's.
Many resorts (and resort towns) use golf carts for transportation. They would be perfect for moving people around to the beach, golf course, spa, shopping, etc.
Forget geological time. Until the mid-60's very little hurricane data was collected. But the point is well taken, it's rare to see three Cat 4 hurricanes in the Pacific at the same time, but it could have happened several times in the 20th century and we had no way of knowing.
First, donating to politicians to advance one's own agenda is a sold as politics. It's not like these guys (COE or otherwise) are doing anything new.
Second, it the "thousands of people" have a different agenda they can (and do) contribute.
It's also not clear what Ellison's agenda really is here; maybe H1b, maybe immigration, maybe something else that has nothing to do with Oracle. Who knows?
Except it wasn't about vigilantes taking down an illegal website because society hadn't stepped up to the task. They stole personal data and are now trying to blackmail people with it. Where are the vigilantes who watch over the vigilantes?

Couldn't one of the tennis players just knock it down? Heck, even Chimpanzees can figure out how to do that

You wouldn't start "paying for them" under this system until you had seven,
Actually, you start paying with the first; $500 a pop.

I think that falsifies your point.
Not at all. If the approaching car causes the human to panic and swerve into a kid on a bicycle it was unsafe.
Didn't she design the original logo (or copy the design from eBay)?
It's not safe if it does things other drivers don't expect.
Yes. The Spanish Inquisition. Didn't expect that, did you?

The submersible option is only available in the deluxe package.
If the chip wasn't made on a 3D printer and paid for with bitcoin this story shouldn't be on slashdot.

Same thing I guess...

Yup, playing to the unwashed masses. Same as Hillary saying the Republican party is a "terrorist group".
Oops, misread what he said about the password.
sudo is entirely different. What GP said is correct.
they changed their business model to one of licensing their patented inventions,
That's the definition of a patent troll.
Just because she says she has a condition doesn't mean she actually does. Any competent doctor can determine whether she reacts to the stimulus.

When you only include people who had access to the source code before it was publicly available, the pool becomes quite small.
