Bad modelling hasn't yet stopped "scientists" from influencing policy making...

What a bunch of crap. Sorry. I am not an American, so I will not comment on the last part of your statement. I don't know the reasons why he voted that way. The first part however needs some correction.
Rejecting mathematical models and statistics.
True. But it rejects economical models and statistics. These models, never-mind how much are you inclined to believe them are full of flaws. And one of them particularly hardcore. The assumption that humans will make rational decisions based on presented facts. Despite four decades of applied psychology research showing that rational decision making in certain situations is not attainable, your statistic lovers in the "we love Keynes" Department won't listen, and won't change their models accordingly. But hey, if some multiple regression gets you off, so be it.
After your logic, psychoanalysis can also be classified as scientific creationism, nevermind that several meta-analysis have shown psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy to be effective, with outcomes comparable or greater than other kinds of psychotherapy or antidepressant drugs (Schedler, 2010). This kind of statistical onanism you preach is just bad for science.

The way I see it, one of the forms freedom can take the freedom to end your freedom. If, for example, the Swiss decide per election that communism is what they want, they will get it in a free and democratic way...
with a liver transplant last year or so, i would suggest that Jobs has a metastasized pancreatic cancer. now, how many do you know, or for that medicine knows, that lived after the cancer has spread to the liver. i am very skeptical. All the best wishes, Steve!
Might I ask you what kind of OTA update have you received, or for that matter, have ALL the Vibrant owners have received? Are you still waiting for your Froyo, released almost a year ago? Thought so...:) (i have a samsung galaxy s, so in know what I'm talking about). Carriers made Android their bitch. Sorry but that is the truth.
Let me ask if you have donated like 5$ this year, Mother Theresa. My feeling is that you haven't, just like the majority of critics here...

The new Lenovo Thinkpads have them by default. I have a W510 and connect it through a DisplayPort. They also have vga connectivity. Macs i think have the mini-displayports (could be wrong).
I have no problem with this. What I have a problem with, are bombastic and alarmist sentences like "the glaciers in the Himalaya will be gone in 2035", which of course the media loves. Then comes the "oh no, we made a mistake", but of course this will not be repeated to the public like the first sentence, and thus skewing the whole perception of the climate change. And then the government comes and says: "look its either we tax you more now, or die later engulfed in the ocean which rises at 1m/s". And the public agrees. I blame the scientists, media and politicians.
mod parent informative. a bmw 1series can achieve 4.1 to 4.3 liters per 100km. and it is a 2004 model. but HP is not really misleading; true, torque is what turns the wheels, but HP tells you how long is that torque available. think of it this way: race drivers shift to maximize engine POWER, not engine torque.
Untrue. Customizing is an ancient behavior and it has carried on to phones. The first nokia with user-changeable covers came in 1998 and sold in the millions of units. Nokia caught on and 2 years later sold the 3310 even more customizable than before and managed 126 million units sold. So I would contradict your argument and say, on the contrary customizing is essential and that is why ppl bemoaned the lack of choice in even changing the wallpaper on a JesusPhone.
One popular seires here is the Nokia E series. It is the business phone class from Nokia and i must say they (the E71 and E72) have supreme build quality and wonderful corporate connectivity. Business has never been keen on the touch fad here in Europe, and most big companies still don't give their employees phones other than Blackberries and Nokias. So i must say Nokia E71 is the seller here together with E72.

A correlation between the melting on Mars and Earth can be explained by:;2
1. Clima on Mars has an effect on Earths climate.
2. Earths climate has an effect on Mars climate.
3. There is no linkage (measurement error, lack of statistical power, etc).
4. Mars and Earth are affected by the same thing.
No red hering. just red mars.

Impossible thanks to regulations:
1. emission standards (euro V or whatever) 2. safety standards (abs, esp, airbags, etc). you can't even put a car the market without those.
Try to comply with all on this list http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/import/fmvss/index.html and it will cost you a fortune.

How about using a one-time pad. It is unbreakable (in a theoretical setting, of course). But better than 40BC tech.
