But researchers found that 90 days after hospitalization, patients treated in BLS ambulances were 50 percent more likely to survive than their counterparts treated with ALS.
Completely meaningless figure; what was the survival rate for all patients, not just those that had already made it 90 days, if there were 3x as many making it to 90 days then that would still be a plus.
I didn't say the EU parliament are powerless, I said they don't write the laws.
The Commission who are unelected, keep producing crap like ACTA, TTIP has ACTA rolled in to it - so whilst MEPs might be able to vote down the crap when millions of EU citizens lobby them, it doesn't stop the Commission from being complete dickheads and trying to sneak bad laws through in subsequent treaties. The Commissioners or a replacement institution needs to be democratically accountable.
I've seen this bug umpteen times over the years, why would Mozilla not try to fix it? Also a text selection bug that they clearly have no interest in fixing.
But of course, they can't write laws, the commission do that, and who is actually writing the laws - revolving door corporate lawyers or with the TTIP it's pretty much the corporations writing the laws strictly to benefit their profit margins.
The EU Commission have a history of putting forwards laws and treaties that benefit only corporations whilst crapping all over the rights of the citizens of the EU (bad copyright laws are one example).
1. Since these scientists are a long way from sure about which projection/simulations they do are correct, wouldn't such Geo-engineering would be pointless?
2. The Geo-engineering we are talking about here "typically consists of dispersing sulfate aerosols - sulfuric acid - into the atmosphere". FFS that's like the way doctors treat people by pumping them full of drugs instead of treating the causes of disease. Have these scientists considered re-forestation, perhaps schemes to take back deserts, schemes to replant woods and forests across the EU and America etc where there were forests previously and looking at ways to stop the destruction of the ocean habitats.
3. Reducing CO2 emissions, isn't that Geo-engineering?
3: Switch the track halfway, try to derail the cart early. 4: Try to time the switching of the track as the cart is hitting it in order to derail it. 5. Switch the cart towards the rail workers but say you were trying to derail the cart when questioned!
With regards to the villainess, shoot her, f*** her epiphany, she did bad things otherwise she wouldn't be called a villainess, one can assume the epiphany is a lie.
Wow, it's 2014, the cold war ended decades ago, the 'red scare' was half a century ago and yet some slashdotter can't take a light joke about communism without modding it as flamebait!
She was thrown onto the vehicle's bonnet, leaving her bruised, while the rear wheel of her bicycle ended up under the car. Once she freed her bike, she tried to obtain the driverâ(TM)s insurance details, but he drove away.
Passers-by took a note of the car's registration, and while Uber said it was one of its vehicles, it added that it bore no responsibility for what had happened since the driver is classed as a 'partner' and not an employee.
20 mile round trip is ideal cycle distance, it's the distance I used to cycle to work regularly - took about 40mins each way, about the same as it'd take someone driving a car because of traffic congestion.
Fox executives and their attorneys wanted the reporters to use statements from Monsanto representatives that the reporters knew were false and to make other revisions to the story that were in direct conflict with the facts.
I don't think a wind turbine designed to last 25+ years actually lasting 25+ years is astounding. Some wind turbines are lasting 30 to 40 years. Modern wind farms are already good value, that value will be great when only parts of the turbines need to be replaced in 25 years to get continuing cheap energy.
"It is only true if your base temperature is 15 degrees, then you need X to get to 20 degrees and 2 * X to get to 25."
Maybe, maybe not, it depends on whether energy put in to keep the room at a certain temperature scales up linearly or not, I had a look but not find any relevant info. Or course it does still depend on the outside temperature and other factors like insulation.
True but it can supply electricity on demand and then pump the water back when there is over-supply which makes it an ideal compliment to wind and solar pv.
The US and China are signing this deal because they can see that they are already headed in the right direction and they know that renewables investment is good for the economy.

So they don't ban hackers?.. Or put them only with other hackers. What do they generally do?
I can assure you he does care and he has promised to remove them (I wish I was joking).
Conservatives promise to scrap Human Rights Act after next election
Article clarifies what the summary wrote badly, that the number did indeed refer to all patients and not just those that had made it 90 days.

No, The Turing test doesn't make sense and nor does the new test.
To test intelligence, how about we set the AI,
AN ACTUAL INTELLIGENCE QUOTA TEST, is that not ****ing obvious.
How many AI can pass the same tests that an ape or bird could pass, pretty much none I'd be guessing.
Questions should pass a 'google test' where questions that can be answered by simply googling or using Wolfram Alpha are rejected.

3. Reducing CO2 emissions, isn't that Geo-engineering?
There's always another option, for example:
3: Switch the track halfway, try to derail the cart early.
4: Try to time the switching of the track as the cart is hitting it in order to derail it.
5. Switch the cart towards the rail workers but say you were trying to derail the cart when questioned!

Cyclist says Uber system flawed after cab hits her from behind
A someone who mostly just cycles and uses cabs, Uber won't be getting a penny from me.

Unless you're the media in which case it is apparently ok to lie.

These people can't cycle because? How would you suggest these people travel?
Unless they go by foot, bicycle, moped / low-cc motorcycle, electric car or use public transport.
Cheap fossil fuels are not a necessity, they will run out.

How Low Can Wind Energy Go? 2.5c Per Kilowatt-Hour Is Just the Beginning
Non-linearly (like a curve on a graph, not a straight line)
I doubt that is true.
No, it's 25+ years before replacement parts are needed not 12-15 years.

Actually with heat pumps you can get more heat for you watt. Works like AC in reverse.
True but it can supply electricity on demand and then pump the water back when there is over-supply which makes it an ideal compliment to wind and solar pv.

From the first paragraph of the wikipedia page you linked:
21.5 not 25
Do you know it takes twice as much energy to heat a room to 25 degrees as it does to heat a room to 20 degrees Celsius.
My room is currently 19 degrees Celcius and feels fine.
