Seeing as he hasn't been found guilty of anything, he is innocent. That pesky "due process" thing again. I know you hate it. I'm sure you'd have no problem if someone accused you of doing something, and then straight-up Navy-SEAL'd your ass out of your car on the way to work, right?
Use scholar.google.com or another specialised search engine, and quit your whining. Or did you honestly think you'd found a massive flaw in the system all by your little self, and then thought it awesome to bash keys in a cloud of pride in order to spread the word? Muppet.
You should read a dictionary. Seriously. Terrorism is the use of, or threat of violence in order to coerce a people into political change. It's a motive, not an action. You can't look at an act and determine whether it is terrorism - you have to look at the motive.
So much idiocy in one post. Where to begin. Bush clearly didn't give a shit about large numbers of Americans dying, as he sent hundreds of thousands of the poor bastards to Iraq and Afghanistan, in actions which have caused untold outrage and therefore increase in support of terrorists who wish to strike the US. A double-fail for saving American lives. Obama, by continuing the US's disgraceful support of Israel, has ensured hatred towards the US continues unabated, again a massive failure of saving American lives. And as for "lost intelligence"? Well, you don't get useful intelligence from terrorists by interrogating or torturing them - you gain intelligence from work in the field. You might get a titbit here and there from interrogation, but it's so unreliable and expensive to double-check it's pointless. Complaining that Obama has made it harder to kidnap people on a hunch and subject them to torture or interrogation for years without counsel or trial is hardly something to complain about - if your intelligence agencies rely on that behaviour to conduct their business, they're either terribly poorly trained, or wilfully evil. Killing terrorists (alleged or otherwise) is ridiculous, but not from an intelligence standpoint, but from a humanitarian (someone has been killed) or pragmatic (a new martyr has been born) standpoint.
You'd be more correct if the economy didn't rely on workers being healthy. As it does, your notion of people paying for the healthcare of others who have never "helped them out" is abject nonsense - everyone is affected by everyone else, to a certain degree, in an economy. It benefits everyone when everyone has healthcare at affordable prices. How much money do you think you spend on cleaning up after people lose their houses due to massive medical bills? The US system is messed. All the money going into the pockets of the insurance companies is money that should be spent on healthcare, not pushing sheets of paper around massive offices. That's why the US spends so much money on healthcare compared to other countries, for similar results. If insurance companies are removed from the equation, and the actual costs incurred by hospitals are paid for by the government, and everyone pays in a fixed amount to the government which is equal to, or slightly more than those costs, then everyone pays less, and there is no worry about employers having to cover employees, or medical bankruptcies, or insurance, or anything. Imagine that: no talk of money at hospitals. But no, I'm sure you'll find something wrong with the idea of people not having to worry about getting sick, and everyone paying less for the privilege.
A hoarded mess is infinitely cleaner than spewing pollution, unabated, throughout the entire lifespan of the plant. And that waste can be used as fuel for more advanced reactors (as happens in other parts of the world).
So heroin is so addictive it makes you never touch it again, and you've never seen anyone quit heroin without a religious conversion, apart from the people you work with who did just that. Gotcha. I think. On second thought, nope. I've no idea what you're on about, and I think if you read what you wrote, you'd realise you have no idea either.
You missed out the "which are left" after "humans and mammals". And where can I buy one of these rose-tinted crystal balls you have? They seem wonderful!
The panel (consisting of renowned scientists who have demonstrated their ability to perform scientific research well) have shown that they are 95% sure man is behind the warming. The warming is not up for debate - that is shown in the evidence. Unless you can overturn them with evidence (and not rampant conjecture), you're just showing your ignorance.
Get a "Das Keyboard" with the black keys. They have windows keys, but as all the keys are black, there is no logo. And they have a built-in USB hub. The mechanism in the keys is awesomely awesomeful.
Which means absolutely nothing in itself. You might as well have said "the rate of traffic accidents strawberry daiquiri trombone hyperspace" - they make as much sense. You'd have a point if texting was the only issue facing drivers, but as it clearly isn't, you're incredibly wrong.
Then you're aware that there have been plenty of "standards" which have been adopted before standardisation, which varied across browsers. Waiting for standardisation would keep the web years behind where it otherwise could be, with the only headache being cross-compatibility shims, which are getting more and more powerful and easy to use with each generation of browser.
Because the deserts will spread, current areas which provide massive amounts of food will stop being able to do so (unless you want to move all the farmers thousands of miles across the world), the seas will heat and become more acidic, which will kill off or severely affect massive amounts of flora and fauna which live in and off the sea, including the massive amounts of plant life which converts CO2 into oxygen, which in turn will make the world warmer. Then the vast areas of permafrost across the world will start to thaw, which will release their sequestered greenhouse gasses, which will make the world even warmer. Then the Antarctic will lose more of its cover, reducing the albedo of the planet, which will increase the warming effect even more. So yeah, "5 degrees" doesn't sound so much, but it won't stop there. That 5 degrees extra will cause lots of other processes to be massively altered which will tend to create more warming, and make the world a far less pleasant place to live. You think international politics is complicated now? Just wait for half the world to be destabilised by food supply difficulties and massive loss of local, environment-specific industry. Your view is massively short-sighted, almost as if you don't even care what's going to happen. You are either selfish or an idiot - pick one:)
You might want to ask yourself why there are more clashes between polar and brown bears... Maybe something along the lines of them losing their habitat and having to spread... No, that can't be it. They must be in cahoots with those damned liberal scientists. Hint: Measuring a populations' behaviour from outside the population isn't going to help anyone learn anything. Listen to the scientists who actually study this stuff and see what they say. Another hint: They disagree with you.
What happened in Tokyo was a massacre, and indefensible. What happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were experiments on humans, and were not just indefensible, but morally bankrupt and the sign of pure, degenerate evil. The former could at least be argued as being a requirement of war, the latter in no way, shape, or form was anything approaching that.
Translation of your post: "I don't know what any of these words mean, I just assume I do, and that makes it magical and secure to me".
The photocopier doesn't have to read the capacitance of the fingerprint, just the structure of what will eventually be made into a capacitative form. As capacitative scanners still read the structure of fingerprints, this clearly isn't a problem. The photocopier reads the fingerprint, and the structure of the fingerprint is then printed in a way that creates a capacitance-compatible image of the fingerprint.
This has already been pointed out to you many times, but you seem to simply not want to hear it. Shame.
There was no misconduct found due to "ClimateGate". Read the scientific literature, not some interpretation by some talking head you happen to agree with. That's not learning, that's masturbation.
Slashdot Mirror
There you go again, showing the world the gap between how much you know and how much you think you know. The hubris! It burns!
If you can't see the benefits, you're already lost to this world.
A good area where shots are fired? That's not "good" by any measure in the civilised world.

You might want to check under whose watch financial regulation was relaxed, which was a (if not the) major cause of the sub-prime fiasco.

A good reason for *you*. Many Brits are perfectly fine with it. Don't confuse the notions of 'you' with 'everyone', as it makes you look a proper tit.
More than half is most, fyi. He's right, you're wrong.

If the warming trend continued as it was, but as it has wavered slightly, we're looking at at least 2020.
Case in point, fyi. Case in point.
