First of all the totality of energy available on the earth is not limited to the amount of sunshine falling upon it divided by an arbitrary efficiency of photovoltaic cells. Tide and geothermal are of value as well. Furthermore no one is of the opinion that unchecked exponential growth is sustainable in the long term, to assume that this is the prevailing belief in the scientific community is laughable. When you look at the demographics of countries like china, which will age before it grows old, exponential growth is not really anticipated. So, since the total energy of the world is not limeted to the amount of sunlight falling on it at any given time divided by the efficiency fo 1970's photovoltaic cells, and no one of any intelligence is saying that unchecked exponential growth is possible the net value of this article is total value (0) divided by time spent reading it (1).
I have been spending the last few months hopping hotels between columbus, cincinnati, and cleveland. There is real growth in this area if you can get in with a good corporation that is *in* with the ohio government and corporate network. The only way to describe myself now is as a total engineering whore. GIS database? Biogas? Solar projects? Urban Streetscapes? Got groundwater contaminated with Fracking Brine? Whatever pays baby. Never really spent any time in ohio before January. It was pretty cool rolling into Columbus this morning and hearing on the news what I heard in the office yesterday..... Now I automatically scope out the safe room when I enter any building in case a giant tornado rolls through. Ice room. Safest place in the hotel.....
It is illegal in illinois, massachusetts, and maryland (explicitly)
It is in fact illegal in many states as they will come up with something to nail you with, or just beat your ass bust your camera and arrest you for resisting arrest (how 'bout that for performing an anatomically impossible act?)

There are many people in this country who cannot buy enough food with 100% of their income. You have been brainwashed into living in a fantasy world. Let me give you one example. People that I have observed making comments similar to yours are against a one payer system for health care and support employer based healthcare. This is illogical, and allows corporations to walk off with the money you paid for insurance and then dump you when you get sick and cost them money. In an employer based healthcare system you will get laid off and put on disability when you get very sick. Very soon after that you will lose your employer based health care because you no longer work. When you get too old, you will also lose your employer based healthcare, and will be shifted to medicare. All the years of healthy living will not count towards the insurance you need at the end of your life because the private insurance company has walked away with the premiums, and has left you to be taken care of by taxpayers. The truth of the matter is that many people in this country have to compete with people being worked to death in thailand for wages, and the wages paid to them because of world wide free market economies that seek the lowest common denominator for employee costs DO NOT PAY ENOUGH MONEY FOR THEM TO EAT. The free market is skewed by lax labor laws in developing companies so regulation is needed here to prevent having people die in the streets from lack of healthcare and food, just like in india and sudan. You should take a look at your situation and contemplate what would happen to you if you develeped multiple sclerosis or leukemia, and were unable to work anymore. How would you feel about the state helping you out then? Should YOU be left to die so that someone else can buy a new lexus?

Most of the above mentioned advances were pioneered by the Harappan civilization thousands of years before the growth of the roman empire. In my opinion the concentration of power in the city of rome at the end of classic antiquity was in actuality the cause of the decline of western civilization. Previous to the existence of the roman empire the decentralized city states of greece and phoenicia were better able to withstand large barbarian invasions due to the retention of tax money locally, and the focus on local defensive posture. The corruption, mismanagement, political infighting, and recruitment of large numbers of foreign mercenaries into the roman legions further complicated the issue. There is archeological evidence that the decline in science and engineering STARTED with the roman occupation. For example the Atikythera mechanism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism is much more advanced than similar devices produced in the same area after the pax romanica was established.
That's nice, but we are looking to provide telecom services to the eastern section of the country, unless TSFI is going to be supplying communications to the regime they need to deploy at the libyan / egyptian border then actually cross over and drive to Benghazi. Donating to someone building a telecommunications network on the western border is probably not that productive.
I read the first couple of paragraphs of the first linked article that establish the presence of a lack of scientific evidence for the many worlds theory. Although i am not a huge proponent of this worldview I consider it as likely as any other out there right now. The author of the first scientific american article linked in this story states that this article is based upon science fiction. This a a patently false statement that is either very ignorant of the facts, or a purposeful falsehood. The multi slit experiment which shows the effect of multiply uncollapsed photons through a slit wide enough for just one photon is a repeatable, measurable effect which caused this theory to be articulated. It was not a fanciful conjecture meant to enrich the author, but in fact an attempt to explain observable phenomena that was unsettling to both the scientist involved in the measurement, and those who reviewed the findings. The fact that the author of this article and the poster start off with this perspective towards observable science gives me great doubt to both their objectivity and ability to understand observable, reproducible phenomena.
why don't we just remove the driver from the equation and allow cars to drive themselves. If a car is alway obeying the traffic laws and cannot be in violation of them then there is no reason to pull over and search the vehicle.
This is the exact same figure that has been quoted for over 10 years so there have been no or little advancement in the process. They have engineered new bacteria which is a good thing. Main thing to note in the article is that their system needs "waste c02 input" so it has to be attached to some kinda power plant, and cannot be scaled up to use all across the midwest in farmland now currently used to grow ethanol without install c02 pipelines as well.
This is just a more specific interpretation of sidereal astrology. This debate has been going on for awhile, and demonstrates what happened to most "sciences" as civilization fell in europe as we entered the common era.

In a few years it will be necessary to have military bases on the moon for last strike capability. The only way to provide for the common defense and promote general welfare is to win the space race, and invest in the necessary science for us to out-compete and destroy other nations. What we need to do to fix this country is withdraw all of our troops from other countries, transfer the money used to occupy other countries to fund science in general, and make our educational system as effective as most of the other industrialized nations. This money should also be used to eliminate our dependence on other nation's energy supplies so we can stop the flow of money to terrorists and enemy regimes.
I was referring to the fact that the dna for the vaccine changes every year because of the rapid mutation of the flu virus it is meant to vaccinate against. There is no chance to do long term testing of what effects injecting people with dead virus dna has on there system since this dna changes every few months. Not everyone is comfortable with this. I would rather fight off an actual living flu virus than get the vaccine since I have a healthy immune system.
vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism, and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe or its toxins
A vaccine is by definition the shredded / weakened dna of a microorganism. It's long term affects are unevaluated because of the ability of viruses to mutate. Although it is true that on average it is safer to vaccinate a population that may not be specifically or tragically true for your children.
Watch some nature shows and try to copy some of their tactics for capturing and identifying rare creatures. I think the main thing is to set up a system that does not put the creature on YOUR schedule. In other words don't go to the site for a few hours, set up your instruments and declare failure when you don't find anything. Set up autonomous instruments that stay on site for long periods of time in order to have any hope of finding / catching this rare creature if it exists.

When you factor in commute time, gas and car maintenance, the need for 2 cars for family ,child care and office politics it's definitely a pay raise.
