There's a big difference between Erik Verlinde and Newton & Einstein. Newton & Einstein and have data to back up their theories. Erik Verlinde does not.
String Theory is unproven. No data to back it up. So quite honestly it should be called String Hypothesis.
But I guess if you want to swallow whole, "Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed," as the truth, especially the "blogger critic" part, as opposed to "Former Republican Party Official using Web Site to Raise Funds to Unseat Representative," then you must be a Fox News viewer.
GPL supporters support Oracle purchasing MySQL for the very reason that the GPL protects MySQL. Oracle cannot take back the code. Oracle cannot prevent people from using MySQL. Oracle cannot prevent MySQL from forking.
However, the founders of MySQL do not like the GPL and wish to wall off the code from MySQL.
Oracle is not the problem, it's the anti-GPL crowed that is the problem.
You mean when Microsoft rolled over and handed out private information when the Feds came knocking....
Google's CEO was point out that simple fact that when the government wants information, NO ONE is going to deny them. So your best course of action is not to engage in activities that can get you into trouble because businesses are not going to protect you.
The simple fact is Americans are stupid. They would not believe you if you told them, "the paint is wet." They would still have to touch it. Americans do not trust science. They never had. So there is no fall from grace. This latest drama simply confirms their world view not to trust science.
You are part of that group.
Thing is, there is no conspiracy about man-made climate change. The data proves this. The questions are how fast is it happening and is it reversible. Unfortunately it does appear that it is happening at a faster pace than what was predicted.
But be all means, please tell us how "evil" scientists are and how saintly the "do nothing" crowd is.
It's not like being more energy efficient and finding renewable energy sources isn't profitable or worthwhile.
More to the point, real studies point out the complete opposite. Writing skills are sub-par. Technology has not increased people's literary or intellectual abilities. If anything, it has dumbed people down. How many people know how to spell or know the definitions of words?
But that's what David Holland wants people to believe. One bad data set mean all data sets are bad. It's a simple fallacy that a self proclaimed expert wants people to believe.
He thinks he is an expert because he is an engineer and engineers can't be wrong. Cult of personality me thinks.
What is sick about this, is the way telcos sue cities when they city tries to rollout their own broadband solution because the dam telco didn't do it! The piss ant telco cries foul but they aren't providing any service!

Does anyone read anymore!
They found a specific virus, Bornavirus (BDV).
Think before you speak. You might prevent yourself from looking like a jackass!
RTA
The researcher was looking at the Bornavirus (BDV) and its association with Schizophrenia. So yes, it's active and yes it has an effect on us.
Yeah keep thinking they are a patent troll. It's that level of intellectual honesty I expect from morons.
Read the complaint, then comment.

Hey Jackass. Read the Complaint.

She was claiming to be his constituent, when in fact she was not. She was doing this while fund raising.
That's illegal.
You can but they tend not to read you letters or return your calls since they are only beholding to the people who actually elect them.
Hence the term, Representative.
Sorry, she's a PAC, not a blogger. She's fund raising by fraudulently claiming to by his constituent.
That's illegal.
But hey don't let the facts hit you in the ass.

Kind of helps to read, doesn't it.

It's political speech aimed at fund raising. There are laws that govern that.
She's a former republican party official trying to raise funds to unseat Grayson.
Unfortunately, she is doing it in a fraudulent way which could be in violation of the law and land her in jail.
It's a pity when facts get in the way.
She's not a blogger but a former republican party official trying to raise funds to unseat Grayson.
Unfortunately, she is doing it in a fraudulent way which could be in violation of the law and land her in jail.
It's a pity when facts get in the way of a good story.
Oracle cannot kill MySQL. The code has been released via the GPL license. This means anyone can fork MySQL and continue to develop it!
Why are people so stupid!
Can you read!

Dude, you're an idiot. Nothing insightful here.

Umm yeah fad...they've been saying that for the past 20 years!
Your whole argument is, it's too hard to play vinyl, because:
1. They scratch.
2. They take up too much space.
3. It's too hard to flip a record.
Good god, what a whiny little boy. Go play with your iPod little boy and stop pestering the adults.

"At least with your own ISP you can reasonably think that theres no datamining going"
W-h-y....seriously if you think a business is not going to collect all the information they can about their customers, you are quite deluded.
RTFA. He used more than the motherboard of the Macbook.
That's why reading is important. It helps prevent you from looking stupid.
Did you read the article. The guy took a Macbook motherboard, components, and mounted them inside a Linksys router case and it worked!
That's some real skills. Something you obviously lack.

foreseen \-sn\, transitive verb to see (as a development) beforehand
They the same meaning!
