How would you respond if Wikileaks put up your credit card information, bank account numbers, social security number and all your known residences and acquaintances?
I don't know your budget, but renting or buying an Iridium 9555 phone with a prepaid plan may be an option. The handset is quite small and works everywhere.
I've been reading The Economist for a long time now, and, save for some known idiosyncrasies like plugging CO2 taxes/trading and kicking the Euro, found it to be quite neutral, interesting and well-written. I browse a lot during the week, and the articles always catch on to the buzz, while offering real additional insight. About the only thing I don't care for is too much focus on the politics of countries that used to be part of the former British Empire, but hey, give them nostalgic Brits a break.
The articles in the latest edition are really bizarre. They totally deviate from the quality I'm accustomed to, so much that I wondered what's going on and was about to write a LTTE.
Rivaling ? Sure, diesels have grunt and are efficient, but in the smooth and quiet department they stand to a petrol engine as a peasant stands to a lord:)
If you take the credits for a 3000+ page paper, yet keep pitching its blatantly wrong executive summary for years, you're nothing but a fraud. Or, writing a 3000+ page paper only to arrive at erroneous conclusions is a case of mind-bogglingly stubborn stupidity.
At this point climate models are like a lottery-predicting model that is completely rewritten^W^W fine-tuned and improved with new data after each drawing.
The thousands of pages of "peer reviewed" "settled" "science" by "thousands of" "scientists" in WG1 are one pile of biased studies linked by circular references, carefully selected by a small team to obtain a desired alarmist outcome.
Indeed, climate and weather are much the same. Climate is just as variable as weather, but with different X/Y scales. Decennia instead of days, and degrees instead of tens of degrees, so to speak. So if you cannot predict weather over 5 days to 10 degrees, you cannot predict climate over 5 decennia to 1 degree.
To take your ignorant coin flip analogy to the end: global temperatures are constant when averaged over an infinite period. Is that a useful prediction ?
36,000 die of complications from the flu annually in the US
Only if you count all the weak that would have died a day later from old age were it not for $SCARE, yes. If you'd add up all the numbers of people reportedly dying from the gaggle of scares, the streets should be overflowing with bodies as we speak. Quid non.
The length difference between both traces for differential clocks to ram must be less than 10 mils (1/4th of a millimeter) so that travel time of both signals is matched to within 2 picoseconds. Think about it. With such stringent requirements, a marginal(*) PCB design can easily cause errors once in a while.
(*) a PCB design where corners have been cut would actually be a good design in this case. Unless Google does not mount the PCBs in a case. But I digress.
No, in situ literally means "in place." Situ is the ablative of situs, place, and the preposition in + ablative indicates "in a position", not "in a direction."
I've always rushed to the conclusion that unbound water on or close to the lunar surface won't stay there for long, because it would sublimate almost instantly due to the nearly zero pressure, with the resulting vapor quickly escaping the moon's weak gravity well.
Either the phase diagrams allow for solid water under the existing conditions (effect of low temperature > effect of low pressure), or maybe water sublimates more readily when the resulting vapor can dissolve into an atmosphere (e.g. by weakly binding with the other gases) than in a vacuum.
Can somebody point me to some relevant scientific info ? Yes, I'm too busy right now to GIM.
Last time I checked, tansitors, resitors, condenators and tutti quanti are all pretty unworkable already, even without the limitations of quantum mechanics.

Whitewashed by a corrupt civil servant is more like it.
Actually, $4337 is 'Saeet', a phonetic transcription of the middle eastern name 'Saïd'.
I sure hope one of them instructions is 'Insert Characters Under Mask'.
A prom-miss, is that what I think it is ?
No problem; here's a start:

Slashdot posters confuse 'break' with 'brake'.
Is this related ?

CAGW is dead, the deceivers are being exposed while the deceived march on, for now.

If you haven't seen evidence of a scam yet, you need to open your eyes, remove your hand from in front of them and start looking. Here's a start.
With that V angle - look at them wings bending upwards during takeoff! - maintaining inverted flight is going to be no fun.

OK then.
