Someone is the last story on this topic today, said that they worked at PayPal and that it was far more likely that they didn't have their paper work in order for being a non-profit, and that without that paperwork properly documenting them as a non-profit, PayPal would shut them down, and has many others for the exact same thing in the past.
So yes, the truth is out there, you just have to wade through a river of shit to find it.
Records show that since the Earth was created over 4 billion years ago, that CO2 levels have steadily increased with the proliferation of life, its worked out pretty well so far for us.
Didn't RTFA, but in the summary it says "found no evidence that NOAA scientists manipulated climate data" then goes on to say "was far from a clean bill of health for the agency, and that contrary to its executive summary, showed that the scientists 'engaged in data manipulation.'"
Colour me confused.
It sounds to me like the report is shit, the reporting by NYT is shit, and that the summary is shit.
That's like saying X crimes were committed using email, email is at fault. Y crimes were committed over the internet, the internet is at fault. Z crimes were commited over cell phones, clearly cell phones are at fault.
Makes me think of the "Rugged Individual Industrialist" archetype from such books as Ben Bova, Robert Heinlein, and Ayn Rand.
Totally fiction (literally! literally literally!:) and unrealistic in every way. Romanticizing an ideal that doesn't exist in the US nor has it ever. The gap between the very rich and everybody else in the US has been increasing since it became a country. Sure everyone has a chance to make it rich, through hard work and a hell of a lot of luck, but that's just it, your "chance" is probably less than winning the lottery. Most just scrape away a living and hopefully make it a littler easier for their children. The deck is so stacked in favor of those that already have money acquiring more of it and against those that don't. That's the ugly reality, that's the reason for the gap. Its also the reason for almost every revolution ever. The only thing that the US has going for it, is that there is so much money, that even the very poor are a lot better off than the poor in many countries. That said, the kind of growth and inequality cannot continue forever, and I think we are starting to see the cracks in the foundation the last couple of years. I think there may be some more major issues in the next 5-10.
Though to be fair, I think it is pretty common, particularly for the older generation (though I can no see younger generation which is hit with no jobs etc...), remembering or thinking about the previous golden times. However that is not to say they are not seeing the past through rose colour glasses. Nostalgia probably makes it seem better than it actually was.
Presumably this is to warn urban centers. So rural areas such as parks wouldn't be part of it.
What I mean, is if the center is too far away from an urban center, it won't be much of a threat but you may get some warning about it, while at the same time, the most damaging quake, that which happens in the middle of the urban center, you will get no warning whatsoever.
Which to me makes the system pretty useless, and at best something created to reassure the public that government is doing something about it.
Well from my limited understanding there is two problems with any such system.
1) You have no idea where the centre will be, thus you will have to create a large area of sensors in order to provide yourself with any warning.
2) The larger the distance you are away from the centre, the less devastating the quake will be (not including tsunami, that would be a separate warning system).
So, that means that the more warning you get, the less you need it. The less warning you get, the worse it will be. So as I see it your fscked anyway you look at it.
How else do cable companies take a cable made in China for 50 cents, then resell it to an Audiophile for 500$ dollars by saying it is platinum tipped, with gold contacts, shielded using ground unicorn horn, and baptized by the lord our savior baby Jesus.
A close second for actual cool, yet blow your freaking mind backwardness was the selling of computer motherboards to audiophiles that actually had VACUUM TUBES installed on the integrated audio portion of the board for "richer" and more "compelling" sound. So yeah, your actually using vacuum tube and integrated silicon circuits, transistors, etc... on the same board. Nice!
Sir we are getting an emergency PsyOps request for more hookers... SIR we have also been informed by PsyOps that the levels of blow are becoming dangerously low... Send those troops more hookers and blow stat, and may god have mercy on us all if help doesn't arrive in time!
Votes "flip/flop" Likes "Hookers" Disliskes "not having any blow" hot button issues - See Dislikes. after much analysis it was noted that the Republican was gay yet in public was anti-gay...
I am sure it was the CIA that just got the DA in Wisconsin fired for his crazy Twitter ramblings... . .
My computer has a state of the art dynamic temporal activity sensing program that will automatically lock my workstation! I can even set it for different amounts of time!
So if at ANY time I am not doing any activity on my computer, for a period of time, say 5 or 10 or even 15 minutes (Whatever I want!) say if I get up, or fall asleep or stare out the window too long, it will automatically and magically lock up my computer. Talk about safety! Amazing!

Superfluid? I thought we were blaming "Dark Matter" for crap we don't understand yet this week? Did I not get the memo?

Always wonderful to add more FUD to the pile.
Its a medium.

Stupid.
Then they would have gotten hired by Goldman Sacks or similar and made their millions all the earlier...
OK that is mysterious and sketchy. A secret cabal of Illuminati and Skulls!
fantasy frontiersman, I like that.

Which makes me want to watch science fiction movies to see how many references there are earthquakes on other planets...
Marsquake Ahhh!

Ya I just asked another post, if it is anything like the Bank of Canada (well bigger is a given), and if so, how is that bad or intrinsically evil?
Other than nowadays it is even more hard to argue that any bank isn't Satan's crib...
Like the Bank of Canada?
How is that bad?

Did you mean to say: "Destroy all humans!"
He doesn't need memory. He creates the past with his mind.
He is? I was unaware... Does he report or at least release information about computers? What is his actual "expertise"?
I was pretty sure he was just a journalist that has a website and a media whore. I guess having a website makes him a "computer expert".

For those of us not USAistan whats the Federal Reserve Act of 1913?
Hey! You people that live in California! Your going to have an earthquake at some point in your future!
I just created my own motion sensing system to log you out. It melds the security of handcuffs to the authenticating power of a USB key. BAM!

Did anyone think differently?
