  1. Re:Here's an idea... on Cable Boxes Are the 2nd Biggest Energy Users In Many Homes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What idea? You didn't address the problem of power consumption. You simply offered a solution to not watch cable TV. Of course if you still have internet access, you still have cable right...not too mention: Is your antenna using a preamp? Do you have a dvr for your antenna tv viewing? Do you a device to turn your antenna in order to make channel reception better. Lastly, roku boxes use power too. So how much electricity did you save by removing the cable box???? Think before you post.

    They are not taking college courses in high school. The student is not going to a local college and taking the course there. They are taking a "college like" course in high school. The two are not the same, not even close. High Schools like to say AP courses are the real thing but they are not. College professors laugh at you when you tell them you took a AP class.

    Really? That's not what the NSA was instructed to do. The NSA was instructed to hold *some* information that was involved in a court case. They were not forced to hold it for years nor were they forced to hold everything. In fact when the NSA was asked to do so they did not say they couldn't do it. Instead they said they didn't think the hold order applied to the information they deleted.

    Please stick to the topic on hand and not make up a scenario that did not happen.

    Really zippy? That's a subsidy. Money that would otherwise go to the US goes to the oil industry. Money they don't need since they make billions in net profits per quarter. The point in providing a subsidy/tax break is to help a industry. The oil industry hasn't needed help in a long time.

    They should be catching typos, but they didn't. This points to a lax review process. There was also a conflict of interest between Nature and Riken, which was not disclosed.

    I do and supposedly experts (referees) in your field of research are suppose to review the material. Mistakes, easily identifiable, made it past them which should not have:

    "First, to take a random example, the Obokata et al. article refers to “pasture pipettes” rather than “Pasteur pipettes.” The existence of such an obvious error suggests that the nine authors, as well as the referees, editors, and copy editors were all, to put it bluntly, slackers. Some of the actions taken by the authors in apparently inappropriately editing and recycling figures might arguably have been uncatchable by the referees and editors, but surely this simple typo should have been caught by someone. Maybe the referees and editors who missed this should be put out to pasture.

    More seriously, Nature has some heavy-duty explaining to do. An earlier version of the Obokata et al. paper was rejected, but then the problem-beset version published in late January was finally accepted. I’d like to see Nature, while protecting the identity of the referees, disclose (on their website) all of the editorial correspondence (redacted appropriately) and every version of the submitted papers, so we can all judge whether or not the decision by Nature to accept the papers was appropriate based on the information available to them at the time."

    Really? RTFA: "The analysis explicitly says that it will not lead to more jobs since the models are full employment models. It may lead to somewhat higher wages, but it is not a way to employ the unemployed. Furthermore, the discussion notes that in the transition, some workers may end up unemployed as the economies adjust to the new rules."

    Somebody keeps failing to read about the Espionage Act.

    1.) How is a Jury going to ignore the law if they can't hear Snowden's side? Think Potsy, think.

    2.) An appeal will only overturn a verdict based on the technical points of a trial not the substance of the verdict. Thus is there no issues with the way the trial was conducted, the verdict will not be over-turned. Swing and a miss.

    You really are an idiot aren't you. Espionage Act. Read it sometime. He would not be able to tell his story:

    "As I know from my own case, even Snowden's own testimony on the stand would be gagged by government objections and the (arguably unconstitutional) nature of his charges. That was my own experience in court, as the first American to be prosecuted under the Espionage Act – or any other statute – for giving information to the American people

    But when I finally heard my lawyer ask the prearranged question in direct examination – Why did you copy the Pentagon Papers? – I was silenced before I could begin to answer. The government prosecutor objected – irrelevant – and the judge sustained. My lawyer, exasperated, said he "had never heard of a case where a defendant was not permitted to tell the jury why he did what he did." The judge responded: well, you're hearing one now.."

    Do you get it now.
