for instance Morner did a study where he looked for - basically - the world's best historical tide gauge. (geologically stable, no land subsidence, post-glacial rebound, continental shelf issues etc.) that has records going way back.
he identified one in Croatia, I vaguely recall.
Anyway, the oceans have been rising there since the started recording ( in the 19th century) with no acceleration at all.
Advent of fossil fuels? no effect

Fine. The stars on the edge of galaxies aren't there - they are images bent by the Shapiro effect. Their origins are stars close to the galactic center. The light is bent and appears to as as "stars" on the edge of galaxies. This would be why galaxies appear to rotate like wheels with spokes. The observed redshift and blueshifts (on the opposite edge of Andromeda, for example) would be retained.... no dark matter necessary
there's a problem with the previous apparent heaviness of Dinosaurs, namely that in the current gravity it would have been impossible! My point is that since this a yet another computer model study, there is more chance for built-in bias. ie, they had a very strong motivation to downsize them.
I predict it will be the same old, same old... they peer deeper into the past, discover the past receding! the origin STILL not visible. ASFAIK this has happened each time they have built a more powerful telescope.
as if it was designed to keep the UFO meme in the public consciousness. A strategy which works. Much of the public think conspiracy buffs are crackpots. with UFO tales priming the pump. I see all the time statements like "you are saying the ___ was a lie and the ___ was not real, LOL. What's next, UFOs?"
Overall UFO tales are a way for folks who grow up in authoritarian backgrounds, who sense something is amiss, to dissent in a safe way (in their minds).
I notice a lot of responses like this, the majority of slashdotters seem to be backing off from saying the planes would crash right away. which mean Branson wins the argument.
the maintenance of airplanes is the airline's business, not governments.
there were countries that had blue skies over head, and theire govt told plane owners they could not take off (even if they had no chance of -in your words- flying through an ash cloud more than once).
the ban was obviously a way over-reaction, IMO. I would give the politics of it, but this is tech forum
A dropping concentration of these cells in HIV+ patients' blood is a reasonable metric for the progression of AIDS.
translation: a lot of the time it isn't.
which means this machine will be responsible for more of the current tragedy taking place: healthy people are talked into taking poisonous AIDS drugs, the side effects of which will convince they were right to take the drugs. after years of debilitation finally their livers or hearts will fail, and AIDS hacks will call it "AIDS".
think this is crazy? did you know right now in the USA liver failure is the leading cause of AIDS death?
these are hacks. these mainstream scientists. hacks. people need to wake the fk up
First of all, you are trivializing the lives of millions that died in WWII by comparing what happened to them to this trivial thing.
Secondly, you are singling- out Venezuela/Chavez from what is a worldwide trend. here is an incomplete list of stuff you can't do by country, recent:
-- Venezuela - no violent video games -- Italy - soccer players can't say "God damn it" on the field -- USA - people can't photograph bridges or buildings -- France - no burkas (?)
If you had just relaxed a little bit before you posted you would have realized loss of freedom is a worldwide problem
there aren't a lot of links. and I should say I am no expert. But from what I remember these were all failed predictions ==>
--background temperature -in pre-BB world this was correctly predicted (with slightly inaccurate math) to be 3K. BBers predicted values much higher. then when it was measured as 2.8k the BBers claimed they had said this all along
--distribution of galaxies - now observed, clustered not as predicted at all
--gravity waves : not found
--age of Universe: BBers keep waffling massively, see spinning on Hubble deep field, and what they would find
--neutrinos: I'm pretty sure they switched up on what they find, involving these particles, too
You would have been a better Slashdotter to have cut the first two paragraphs (where you announce your limited credentials and then launch into a pet peeve about the autism issue).
Your last paragraph -actually about bees- is dense and unsupported.
And the bit 'despite what you learned in high school' is patronizing and probably inaccurate. This isn't a HS forum, and they don't teach about bee hierarchies and transposons there anyway.
Water filtering does not have to be just for drinking. For instance, all sort of chemicals make their way onto road surfaces. Then rain water carries those chemicals into local watersheds.
I think I read once that the Autobahn had a special semi-porous drainage layer made of some compound material.
I have no expertise, but maybe new roads -instead of just having standard runoffs- could be slanted to lead to passive filtration surfaces that would partially clean the water. And maybe ground-up old tires could be used?
There are impermeable asphalt roads all over the world, of course. Think of all the drainage pipes in Manhattan that just empty into its rivers. Maybe there is some clever way with old tires filter that water passively.
The company claims the buses pollute less because their engines never accelerate (think of the fumes emerging from a conventional bus as it accelerates away from a bus stop, this is avoided with a hybrid).
the E-traction buses have their electric motors in the wheels.
A few years ago it wasn't possible at all for ISPs to stream movies to customers. 15 years from now it will be possible, without any 'rigging'.
Bell South sees a window of opportunity. Competition for DVD rentals, I suppose.
The catch is the movie download has to have priority over everything else being downloaded (well, not everything else. Everything else except online poker).
I imagine their idea is to cut a deal with the movie companies like Directv does, have movies available a few months after the DVD comes out.
My question is, isn't the analog TV bandwidth going to be freed up in a few years anyway, to be used for the this purpose?

happening in part of Florida, and part of Virginia (or Maryland it is hard to keep track).
the aquifers are drained and the land above them sinks down
Even if they validate it in the end, I am skeptical.

which are taboo. So they pretend to themselves it's from recent water .. which might mean life, if it made sense, which it does not.
I predict it will be the same old, same old. .. they peer deeper into the past, discover the past receding! the origin STILL not visible. ASFAIK this has happened each time they have built a more powerful telescope.
you helped me. Seriously.
and yet still didn't get photos of the Apollo debris. it was there six months, too
this must be at least the fourth orbiter that cant find the time to photograph the stuff. Or something
of course, the Hubble telescope was supposed but didn't either.
Dear Chinese - next time please take a photo of the Apollo debris!

they shut down a whole continent. and all you can cite is a plane that did not crash after directly flying through an ash plume
that means Branson is right
and their passengers, not the government.
whats next, prison sentences for those who don't rotate their tires?

up next, the phantom Higgs Boson? I say yes.
A few years ago, during the construction, one of the LHC bigwigs gave a speech (which I later read). At the end he said (paraphrased)
"if the Higgs boson does not exist, we will have to invent it".
He was half-joking I suppose, but that is what they are trying now, basically
I have thought for years, partly via observation of their psychology, that the underlying theory must have serious holes. I suspect the truth is:
1 the Higgs boson does not exist.
2 "dark matter" is BS
3 the Big Bang theory is wrong.
[btw, the Big Bang theory has an amazing number of failed predictions]
