Meanwhile in Europe we have been having much too warm temperatures for this time of year. Last week it was 15C (59 F) in central Europe where I live, which is practically spring temperature today it was 8C (46F) when it should be around the freezing point.
It's not the first time that Northern America receives all the dose of winter cold from from Europe. A couple of years ago we had the same situation - record lows in the US, much too high temperatures across Europe and Eurasia.
Nevertheless, global warming is a scientifically proven fact regardless what happens in Northern America, which is only a relatively small area of our globe. The oceans which cover two-thirds of our planet are warming, this is fact. The polar ice caps are melting, also fact. The glaciers are retreating, another fact.
Please just check this website of one very credible, US agency for the details if you still feel like denying it because Trump says so:

That Earth is warming up is a provable fact. That this is due to anything humans have done is not.
Nope. While most places have laws requiring that prices be posted in a clear, easy to understand fashion (meaning that in my analogy hey'd have to list menu prices in bottle caps as well as dollars), posting prices in USD doesn't mean you need to accept payment in a certain form, that comes down to your contract(i.e agreement) with the store - if the restaurant informs you in advance they only accept payment in X form, and you sit down to eat you have agreed to pay in X form.
They can say exact amount only. It is about providing change. What they cannot say is "Even exact amount is unacceptable."
Actually they can, it's a basic part of contract law - unless specifically forbidden by law, the contract aka agreement between two or more parties can state pretty much anything the parties agree on in advance. If a restraunt put up a sign that they'll only accept payment in bottlecaps, that's perfectly legal.
What would not be legal is the restaurant refusing to accept cash for your bill if they DIDN'T inform you in advance that they would not be accepting cash.
It's not really LO's fault, but you can't run a mixed LO & M$ shop if you care about your documents looking the same all over - the M$ formats are just too arcane and goofy for that to ever work 100%.
If you can go all LO, you're set, but if you have to interact with other companies that want M$ documents, you're hosed.
While this is true, you also can't run a pure M$ shop if you want your documents to look the same all over. Even if you have all your machines running the same version of office you're going to get occasional differences, if try running different versions - disappearing graphs, margins jumping around header and footer font change at random, etc,
In other words libre office does at least as good a job as M$.
Even if that was much lower, 3 days is not enough. I shouldn't have to actively "snooze" it. I should be able to schedule a check for updates to only happen once a month, or any period of time I like, including never. Who's computer is it?
Actually you can do that, you need to go and edit the options in the task scheduler for windows reboot function, but you can do it. Personally I edited it to never reboot automatically.
So Malthus will always be wrong? The world can sustain an infinite number of people forever?
Malthus will always be wrong because his base assumptions were wrong(That there will be no increase in food production per acre and that the rate of population increase will increase exponentially - both of which we know are wrong). That does not mean Earth can support an infinite number of people, but it can support more people than are going to live on earth in any rational future projection, since population increase slows down as technology improves.
Replacement birthrate in a modern society is ~2.1
U.S, Germany, France and many other countries have a birth rate well BELOW replacement rates.

More importantly it makes it much more difficult for anyone who was trying to get the actual terrorists and leaders (not just the idiots "associated with ISIS") to get the connections they need.
In other words it makes the hackers feel good, and helps the terrorists.

Rock solid linux distro?
Okay here's a challenge for you, what "rock solid" Linux distribution would you recommend I install on an HP Pavilion laptop with a Realtek RTL8723BE Wifi card? Because as far as I can tell that's basically not supported properly by any distribution.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I don't see where you came up with that list. Many of those professions are permitted in the Bible. A very famous Jew was the son of a carpenter...
That list comes from not being completely ignorant of history. The image of Jews as monelenders and greedy bastards comes from the middle ages, especially eastern europe and is due to Jews being forbidden by the local laws from practicing most jobs forcing them into the job of money lender or tax collector.
Phone rings. 911 operator #1 starts putting information into their CAD (computer aided dispatch) system, straight-away, including victim information. 911 operator #2 sees that there is an incident already in progress at that location, communicates with operator #1, and adds their own information from their own caller.
Except that the two incidents would not be recognized as the same location and might very well not be recognized as having the same symptoms (and even if they do, having two people with heart attack symptoms near one another is unlikely but not impossible.
Out of curiosity what makes the EMTs in the ambulance "real" while the ones employed by Amazon "not real"? Does anyone have any actual evidence that Amazon's EMS team are trained to a lower standard than the ones employed by the city?
There really isn't any need to get the request in writing unless you're trying to build a case against the requester. If you feel the need to protect yourself legally, or are otherwise concerned about the request you simply submit progress report (or if it was a five minute job an e-mail announcing the change is completed) copying everyone even remotely connected to the issue (if you're feeling paranoid you can even add your private e-mail in BCC.
This isn't something that will be useful in prosecuting the guy in charge, but it establishes that you honestly believed you were following a proper request.
I've done this with requests that could have had the company sued for fraud (basically writing in the "correct" test values, instead of what was actually measured) and for requests that were simply stupid and would have cost the company a huge pile of money. Sometimes that makes people "clarify" that they didn't actually want you to do anything like that and other times they go through with it, but either way you're covered and without earning a reputation as being difficult to work with.
Courts are good at establishing official truth. They are not so good at discovering actual truth.
If legislation gives the courts permission to rule on political matters, that may just be the final nail in the coffin of the Constitution. (I'm assuming here it's not completely, irretrievably dead already.)
Ain't no coming back from that.
The U.S constitution survived McCarthy and his Communist witch hunts, I doubt climate change deniers witch hunts would be enough to kill it.
Something that seems to be missed here - When you're playing WoW or other MMORPG, or chatting with people on the internet, etc... you might be alone in your room but you're not alone. You're interacting with a community where you fit in, and given that the shrinks seem to be ignoring that and focusing on kids not reacting as they think the kids "should" any conclusions they reach based on these false assumptions are garbage.
Chile, the country with the lowest rate of firearm related deaths (according to that Wikipedia list at any rate, I'm not sure how much I trust that list) may have "restrictive" gun laws but they are still more permissive than some parts of the U.S
http://escapeamericanow.blogspot.co.il/2008/09/bring-your-gun-to-chile.html
Ukraine, Belarus, and probably other countries which are listed as having very low fire arm death rates are also listed as having higher murder rates than the U.S http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
Of course both thesae lists aren't good statistics, even is all the numbers are accurate they were gathered at different years from 1992 for canada to 2012 for South Africa You don't think things might have changed in those 20 years?
One final point Correlation is not causation - something my 6th grade math teacher demonstrated by "proving" that paved roads cause traffic accidents.

Facts are stubborn things. You're gun is many times more likely to kill or injure you or your family than save them.
Yes facts are stubborn things, your opinion is not a fact. http://www.pulpless.com/gunclock/stats.html http://ericwalczak0.tripod.com/id10.html The facts appear to be that a gun in the home (in the U.S) is ~10 times more likely to be used in saving a life thant in killing orinjuring the owner or a member of his houshold.
