The population of Hillsboro, Oregon is becoming vocal about the state's enterprise zone program offering enormous tax concessions
First sentence from the fn article:
OregonLive readers reacted quickly to a story posted Monday morning outlining how out-of-state companies are building data centers in Hillsboro, attracted by massive property tax breaks.
What a joke. The commenters on OregonLive now represent the entire population of Hillsboro? Half of the article is just reprints of readers' comments on the original story.
I think his point is stupid. As I just pointed out:
1.)How does going to the kickass.to website make you an illegal filesharer? 2.)Why bother building a honeypot when they could just launch uTorrent and get a list of IP addresses that are actually serving the copyrighted material? Which is exactly what the Copyright Alert System has been doing for 2 years.
So what? Do you realized that your IP address and more is probably logged for every web site you visit? Nothing will come from going to Kickass.to. It's not illegal and there is no illegal content there. However, it's rather trivial for anyone, including copyright holders, to collect the IP addresses of people serving files with bittorrent because the sources you are downloading from are displayed in the bittorrent program. No web browser needed, no honeypot needed.
Note that the earth has been much hotter...at a time that was not conducive to human society
The Cenozoic era is refered to as the "Age of Mammals" because the start of it is marked by the rapid expansion and diversification of mammalian life. Seeing as humans are also mammals you could assume the the climate anytime during the Cenozoic era would be conducive to human life. The Cenozoic era started about 65 million years ago. Currently the Earth is cooler than the average for the Cenozoic era. For a majority of the Cenozoic era there have been no polar ice caps.
During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum the global climate became wetter. "The climate would also have become much wetter, with the increase in evaporation rates peaking in the tropics. Deuterium isotopes reveal that much more of this moisture was transported polewards than normal."
The bag and its contents are now on loan to the National Air and Space Museum for preservation, research and eventual public display.
I'm curious what kind of research they would do on these items. You would think NASA already knew everything there is to know about these items back in 1969.
If someone uses "comprised of" in a sentence, everyone understands what they mean. It's not ambiguous, so what's the big deal? Grammar nazis have always lost their battle because languages continually evolve. Go ask Shakespere. Why should it be any different now?
M-Disk is a dvd disk advertised to last 100 years. The drives cost about the same as a standard dvd drive, but a disk is $4. I can only personally verify 1 year. For redundancy I'd go with a dvd and another copy on a flash drive.
"may have evolved to help our ancestors make tools" That's a really big "maybe" based on some college students tasked to do it. It seems to me that language would be huge advantage for any activity, not just tool making.
No mention in TFA about how they determined this guy was in the Lizard Squad except that he claims to be.
"Rumors have been circulating", but no mention about what the rumors are or if they were involved with identifying this hacker.
Hey, but if it's on Finland's MTV then it must be true. But why is my skeptical sense tingling?
Automatic speed/red light cameras
Distracted driver legislation
M.A.D.D.'s push for DUI BAC change below 0.01
All these make alarming claims about carnage on the roads requiring onerous legislation, but if you check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stats you can see that driving is safer now than it has ever been. There is no need for these laws. There are less injuries and fatalities year after year despite more cars on the road and more total miles driven.
The state of Ohio is passing legislation that will effectively ban automatic traffic light and speed cameras by requiring that a live police office issues the ticket.
The gop... reacted with a coordinated attempt to get the new, largely democratic, set of voters to become disillusioned and not vote.
Voters were disillusioned by promises of hope and change but delivery of more government as usual. promises of the most open administration but delivery of the opposite. A lot of people were hurting from 2008 and were not any better off in 2014.
I used to work a second job at Walmart, in the electronics department. At least once a month I would get somebody trying to buy a game system with a bogus coupon. Most of them were $100 off of a Nintendo DS.

Incompetent/corrupt government should probably be number one.

Funny that 8 articles before this one was "Police Organization Wants Cop-Spotting Dropped From Waze App".
What's good for the goose...
I can see spoofing the insurance company but what malicious hacks could these dongles do to your car?

The Colbert Report is a fictional comedy show. I hope you are refering to his professional integrity to deliver laughs, not news.

This is not a good description. I've no idea what a topological defect or energy crack is.
