They weren't just saying things in those emails, they were acting on it. Scientific Journal is acting like all those emails were part of a fairytale and none of it ever happened.
In the one email, the author is quoted saying that he "adjusted the numbers." Last time I checked "adjusted" is past tense meaning that he did something. That's not the same as "I can adjust the numbers if you want me to."
If AGW was actually happening, there would be no need to "adjust" numbers and likewise no need to cover up the leaked emails.
I can look out my window and see the cooling towers. I'm about as close as you can get since I live on the river about 1.3 miles to the still active Reactor 1.
I figure if something happens, I'd rather go instantly than be walking around with a third arm for the rest of my life!
Its so they can watch what you do, monitor you, and control you. Its being done under the guise of stopping crime, but those of us that see the writing on the wall know whats really going on. Most likely the whole project is being funded by federal dollars to, and they can tap in and watch.
We allow this to happen a little at a time, and get used to it, allowing more to happen. Things like this need to be stopped now. Get out and tell your local government what you think before its too late.
I was looking at getting the 1000HA model because of the price point. Currently its $425.68 on Amazon. As far as I can tell, its the same specs as the 901 but has a 10" screen and a larger mechanical hard drive. The 901 model with Linux installed, has a 8.9" screen and a 20GB SSD. Price on Amazon? $446.85... a difference of $21.17.
I plan to install Linux on it anyway, so I don't really care whether it comes with Windows or Linux pre-installed.
The only real feature I'm interested in is the 6-cell battery for a longer run time. Unfortunately with the current price points, I'll be buying a Windows model, adding to those stats.
So now, not only do I have to pay eBay a fee for listing my item, I also have to pay PayPal a fee to get my money?
Thats exactly what it is. eBay owns Paypal. Right now they're looking for more money (hence the change in seller fees). By also forcing you to use PayPal they can take an even higher return on the items you sell.
Between eBay's listing and final value fees and Paypal's fee, eBay has to be taking 10-20% of the final value of your item. To compound that even more, both the final value fee and Paypal's percentage are based off the final value of the item.
For buyers its iffy (depending on how you feel about PayPal). For sellers its horrible because you're getting screwed both ways!
The reasons, of course, have nothing to do with taking a moral stand; EMI wants to compete with Apple. 'The London-based EMI is believed to have held talks with a wide range of online retailers that compete with Apple's iTunes.
Not according to the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/09/business/media/0 9online.html:
EMI, which releases music by artists including Coldplay and the Beatles, has discussed various proposals to sell unprotected files through an array of digital retailers, including Apple, Microsoft, Real Networks and Yahoo, said the executives, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Don't be confused by the submitter's opinion. Moral reasons vs competition was mentioned nowhere in the linked Associated Press article...
In the manner of Steve Ballmer "FUD! FUD! FUD!"
Alternatively you can go Preferences > Security and assign the Clear Private Data function a keyboard shortcut or set it to clear when you close Firefox.
Even better still, you can go to Preferences > Security and go through the 6 tabs and tell it no history, no form info, no passwords, no download history, no cookies, no disk cache... That way if someone mugs you while you're on your computer, the worst they can do is go back a few pages... but with no cache and cookies, it shouldn't keep you logged into any secure sites.
Why is this story news? Most browsers feature a history clearing features?
Oh, and the included search engine partnerships to generate money... If they're making money, they're logging something... c'mon people, that's common sense!
We're going to implement a new rule for the mods here at/.
Instead of RTFA, its going to be RTFS (Read the Fuc*ing Site) before you post a story and help avoid all the duplicates. I'm tired of deja vu at 5AM every morning when I open my news reader. Its a bad start to the day and confusing as hell!
Well Vista has been "just around the corner" since 2002 and we haven't seen that yet.
Unfortunately, it seems everything in the technology world is "just around the corner."
I'm still baffled as to how people can buy something that isn't fully standarized. You know its going to change. Its like shelling out cash for a beta program. Would you buy a development model car with a 6 cylinder engine that curently only runs on 4 cylinders? No!
Seriously though, 64bit never took off... much like other technologies that flopped so bad I can't even come up with their names.
I have a server in my basement and I run a nice RAID5 array and some virtual machines off it. I use 4GB of memory, but that is all that 64 bit has done for me. I was able to find an antivirus program (avast) that finally supports 64bit, but thats about it.
I can't even get my printer to work with it. I have a network printer (hp) set up on the 64bit machine and shared out, all my 32 bit clients throw an error when printing and half the time I get jibberish. (Yes, I do have the correct 32bit drivers installed for it on the server). They just won't talk with each other. I need to move it over to one of my 32bit virtual machines this weekend so I can get some decent prints from it all the time.
As far as I'm concerned, 64bit is a joke. There are no programs for it, no support for it, and no real use for it at the moment. Until everything else catches up its worthless. Much like the space ship in my back yard. Until someone builds a warp engine for it, it's nothing but junk.
Exactly. There are scripts like won't let IE users look at your website and tells them to go download Firefox if they want to look at it.
The other thing that bugs me is the IE only sites. I'm taking classes online and the courseware is so heavy on ActiveX it is IE only. Its to the point that its IE 6+ only so I can't even get it to load in the unsupported IE5 client for my Mac. My work around currently is a Winblows XP VM running on my server in the basement. I remote desktop into it and do my work on that machine. It annoys the crap out of me that I have to resort to this. Safari won't work and it still doesn't work in Firefox with UserAgent switcher set to IE.
The downside to making sites non-IE is that alot of businesses still rely on IE and for proxy support reasons won't switch to Firefox or anything else. I have fought various times for this, yet it's still on our banned software list. Yes, thats right, if you have firefox.exe or any dll files it kills it and logs the machine and user.
Most corporations don't understand that firefox is more secure than IE, and they see more patches come out for Firefox. The lack of patch management also doesn't help from their standpoint, despite the fact FF patches itself. I have tried to beat it into their heads over and over, with various reports that the abundance of bugs is because the community is open. They also get fixed faster. IE keeps half the bugs hidden and don't even fix some of them. How secure is that?
To be fair, anyone could type in a nine digit number and it could be anyone's number. For example, 165-32-4865. I'm sure this might match someone reading slashdot at this very moment.
Now, when they're typing in searches with their name and number in the same search, yes, that's dumb!
I haven't had a chance to look at the data myself, but I'm sure it's happened.
The article linked to goes right to his Homeland Stupidity site. This guy sits at home and lives off his Adsense revenue and/. just gave him a ton of hits.

And how is this any different than the exact same picture being published by the news media year after year showing the ice shelf collapsing?
I think there's transgressions on both sides of the aisle.

There's only so much you can do with a 16x16px square. How unique do you think the favicon can be? Either way, I dislike the new logo.

Why would a system this powerful be connected and accessible from the internet???
Hey, the guy has his own article on Wikipedia. Cut the guy some slack. How many of you are listed on Wikipedia??

My thoughts exactly. So you can no longer download legal things on BitTorrent like Linux ISOs... or the movies you can legally buy on BitTorrent
What a joke!

Its because its DRM free. Consumers have been leaning away from DRM because it limits what you can do.

I watched it for free on TV, why can't I download it and watch it for free a second time instead of waiting for them to air re-runs.
