    We'll also assume you're not interested in continuously updated images of empty ocean.
     
    I think the families of Malaysian Flight 370 might have something to say about that.

    I do. Actually, slightly higher at the moment.

    Having said that, one specialty in programming and Software Engineering would benefit greatly from CSci students having some experience with help desk work: User Interface Design.

    Everything I know about User Interface Design, I learned in my first two professional jobs where I had direct contact with end users.

  7. Re:Nuclear? on UN: Renewables, Nuclear Must Triple To Save Climate · · Score: 1

    Any nuclear fuel that is dangerous- is also nuclear fuel that is still fuel, that is, still giving off energy. What we really need is a way to recapture and recycle that energy.

    You mean cut off from *cheap* road transportation. The correct response to such a problem is to develop new technology.

    What is wrong with ocean farming? Kelp is a wonderful food source.

  10. Re:Only less than 1% on UN: Renewables, Nuclear Must Triple To Save Climate · · Score: 2

    I find it equally interesting that "less than a 1% chance that current global warming could be simple fluctuations" is somehow being translated as "less than a 1% chance that current global warming could be natural". The two statements are not equal. The possibility still exists that the cause of global warming is something we don't understand yet. All they actually did is prove that global warming is happening, they failed to prove that it is caused by man.

  11. Information Black Hole on UN: Renewables, Nuclear Must Triple To Save Climate · · Score: 1

    Actually, Siri can't. There is a well known phenomena that there's a lack of published articles online that were published between 1960-1990 Articles before 1960 are considered historical and interesting, articles after 1990 were when the early digital services that were the precursors to the web were competing for content. Someday we'll get around to digitizing the magazines that contain the information you seek, but not soon, because there's no money in it.

    If Slashdot is still around in 2114, it will be definite proof that the water world predictions of the climate change loons were wrong.

  13. Re:more pseudo science on Study Rules Out Global Warming Being a Natural Fluctuation With 99% Certainty · · Score: 1

    Exactly right. Not only that, 500 years of data doesn't even cover one normal global cooling/global warming full cycle fluctuation.

  14. Re:Buy a Prius as your next car... on Study Rules Out Global Warming Being a Natural Fluctuation With 99% Certainty · · Score: 2

    I already own a Prius; it makes good sense for 99% of my driving being in urban traffic alone. But 500 years is not enough to claim that all climate change is due to manmade sources; you need to go at least 2 million years of climate data to eliminate mankind. And in addition to that 500 years isn't even enough to cover one full ice age cycle. I call confirmation bias on this one.

  15. Re:i pledge to you... on Can the ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers Be Believed? · · Score: 1

    Oh, I believe 7.1 million have "signed up". Actually gotten insurance on the other hand, if Cover Oregon is any example, is another story entirely. And of course, there's the 15 million who have *LOST* their previous insurance due to it now being illegal. So at best, we're really sitting at -7.9 million or so.

    Not really at all. Because, you see, morality has a hierarchy. The right to labor is a bit higher than the right to punish sin.

    They already have the same legal rights. They have the right to find opposite sex partners and get married as much as anybody else.

    What they don't have is the right to redefine words to suit their own preferences.

    Correct, they didn't. What said that blacks were subhuman was the US Constitution- where they were specifically listed (along with women and Native Americans) as being 3/5ths of a human. I don't see anybody pushing to claim that homosexuals are 3/5ths of a human, do you?

    I disagree that you don't have the same rights as "breeders". You too can choose to be heterosexual and to breed, same as anybody else.

    The benefits are for the *children* and *parents of children* in an attempt to have the human species continue. I am aware you are philosophically opposed to the species continuing; but that doesn't give you the right to insist that others can't continue the species.
