This sounds funny until you look at the math. The average cow exhales 50 gallons of methane per day. There are about a billion head of cattle in the world. That's 50 billion gallons of methane per day.
His statement, and those of his supporters, sound like he blew the whistle on some Watergate-like scandal. I just don't see that. As far as I know, he took a bunch of raw data and just dumped it saying "Here's a bunch of classified stuff, go ahead and sift through and see if you find something interesting."
With this millionaire and the Mars One group planning a trip in 2023, has anybody thought of the contamination this might cause.
NASA and space agencies around the world have been trying to find life, or evidence life once existed, on Mars for years. If we have several independent groups landing their own spacecraft, is there a chance they might careless contaminate Mars with Earth microbes, thus throwing any future findings into question?
Maybe he just decided to really go spend time with his family.
But after the sexual abuse and Magdalene Laundry slavery scandals, I can see how the smart thing for the head of that organization to do would be to quietly bow out before even more nefarious activities are revealed.
1. THC a mind altering drug. 2. There is no logical reason to get high. 3. It's extremely habit-forming. 4. It is very expensive. 5. It causes altered perceptions, concentration problems, and short term memory loss.

I believe you have gamma correction on #000000 set to 0.
Just FYI.
I've seen what methamphetamine abuse can do to people. Heavy abuse plus large cash reserves to keep doing whatever you want are a dangerous combination.
McAfee has all the classic signs. (paranoia, megalomania, grandiose plans, outrageous claims, frantic activity, confabulated memories, etc)

I don't know if he killed his neighbor. People on these drugs are capable of anything, even contrary to their history, personality, or beliefs. On the other hand, 3rd world countries like Belize are full of corruption.
If you are parent looking for toys NOT made in a brutal Communist totalitarian state with child labor, LEGO used to be one of the few things you could buy. At least they were made in a European democracy. Lately, Lego has been increasingly outsourcing some parts to China for its sets, especially for the brand name ones.
Unfortunately, if you want certain parts, the only way to get them is through those name brand sets.
After searching. I found an Ebay store (http://stores.ebay.com/Five-Star-Bricks) that has second hand legos. At least buying used helps mitigate the need for more new Chinese products.
India has pretty strict blasphemy laws. Recently, an atheist was charged with it when he declared a Christian statue a fake.
Ireland has had annoying blasphemy laws for years as well.
The explanations I heard are
1) "What bones? You have no bones. You have rocks that look like bones, but are just rocks"
2) "Those are not dinosaurs but dragons and other beasts that were in the Garden of Eden but were hunted to extinction by humans in Biblical and Medieval times"
3) "Dinosaurs were just deformed animals. Neanderthal and Australopithecus were just humans with bone diseases or birth defects"
4) "They are dinosaurs but carbon dating is wildly inaccurate and they were alive at the same time as humans."
5) "God (or Satan as you said above) put those in the ground and made them appear old to test our faith in the bible"
Marijuana is a gateway drug. It lowers perception and operational intelligence so that the addict can't fully appreciate the consequences of their actions, which includes taking more dangerous drugs.
It's all part of deadly spiral of most addicts. There are all kinds of self-destructive acts that are included on the way. This is one of them.
Really, who here would want a doctor operating on them just smoked some marijuana? Gee, I don't see any hands.
The Cannabis Legalization lobby has been trying to delude the science and facts about marijuana for years now. Don't be fooled. THC is extremely habit forming and has dubious medical value.
The real solution is not criminal punishment, but mandatory drug treatment and counseling.

I've listened to both and have never been able to tell the difference.
I wonder if they tested it in a double-blind experiment if audiophiles could choose the uncompressed music better than random chance.
My company has a strict policy against bribes.

Still think it's a waste of time to study this?
These look cool to me. I miss mechanical keyboards.
Because science instruction belongs in school and religious instruction does not. Please stop pretending these things are equal.

Why is it so hard for other countries to build a nuclear bomb? Isn't this about 70 year old technology by now?

The NRA likes to blame video games too.
"Guns don't kill people." But apparently, video games do.

I am sad to hear he is going.
I want all high ranking officials in my government to have doctorates.
How's this for a correlation and causation? If the kids have a low socio-economic status, it could be because their parents are on drugs too.
Drugs ruin people's lives, not enhance them. Wake up people.
1. THC a mind altering drug.
2. There is no logical reason to get high.
3. It's extremely habit-forming.
4. It is very expensive.
5. It causes altered perceptions, concentration problems, and short term memory loss.
Conclusion: It should not be used by children.
This should not be hard.
I'm still mad that they changed the stats and game mechanics away from d20!
I'm still refusing it to play it for that reason alone. That's what made Knights of the Old Republic cool.

I remember a SNL skit where Sodom was debating changing its name but were worried it would cost them the sodomy tourism.
