The only way for the conclusions (and by and large all I've seen from these guys are estimates and probabilities, not certainties), to be way off would be if there was a huge CONSPIRACY within the scientific community on this subject
Not the only way, another possible hypothesis = mass hysteria.
after decades of research there is a gigantic body of knowledge that is growing. And you know what? By and large it supports the general consensus.
Not to mention that scientists build off of each other. This gigantic body of theoretical knowledge you speak of, is being taught and used by the majority of climatologists as though it is fact, when it is probably still only based on a theory which has yet to be proven or dis-proven. You have to understand you cannot trust what the majority of any group of humans thinks as they tend to be sheep and follow each other around. Very few (i.e. the minority) actually critically examine the base assumptions and prove to themselves that they are right before building on them. Which leads to not only errors, but the compounding of errors. Don't believe me? Let me ask this; Did the majority of scientists, at the time, believe the earth was the center of the universe? Did they use that "fact" as a given truth in all of there future research? Were they right? This cycle has been repeated many, many times over the course of scientific history and should be known by anyone who puts strong faith into science
If you want to discover and know the real truths of this universe you must first start with one simple truth; Everything you know is wrong. Trust no one and believe nothing that you have not personally proved to yourself to be true. This is the only way to true understanding and discovery.
Maybe I should learn more about physics, but are you saying that objects gain mass as their velocity increases? I understand that they gain momentum as well as potential energy, but I have never heard that they gain mass.
You can't accelerate to light speed. In fact, the energy requirements of accelerating anything to within a few hairs of the speed of light would have insanely huge energy requirements.
Yet, light itself has the necessary energy to do this with no problems, and can travel at that speed over a seemingly infinite distance. It seems to me that some people have a very inaccurate view of the available, untapped, energy all around them, in every atom of everything, everywhere. It might even say the energy supply is unlimited....
Isn't their some sort of AntiTrust law that prevents a company from leveraging their dominant position (i.e. monopoly) in one market (Hardware device) to gain dominance over another market (software). It boggles my mind that state AG's haven't joined together to bring this in front of the DoJ and all sue the pants off of Apple for doing this especially the states that really need the money. I see it as no better than Microsoft bundling IE with Windows, even though on Windows you could install another browser of your choice very easily.
at least eight???? What the hell are they smoking?? I applied to three was accepted to them all and picked the one I thought I wanted. In retrospect, I was completely lazy and didn't even do basic research on any of the schools to ensure they fit my lifestyle. I picked popular schools that sounded good to ensure I'd know people when I got there. But applying to eigth schools is completely nuts looking at the work the should be done on selecting one.
One word, Trust. You must implicitly trust all peers hosting the update are not spammers or virus/malware writers looking for any opening to infect your machine.
I can think of a good outcome of this. They win, they get injunctions and then refuse to license the IP so all software activations go away. In this case, if they win, we win.
NOTE: I do not condone patent trolling, but as king one must find the good in any situation.
Ah yes, it does. But, one of the thoughts of the whole Global Warming thing is countries having to "pay" to some "World Fund" for their carbon emissions. The establishment of this fund and the redistribution of wealth from rich countries to poor countries via environmental guilt it the being of the One World Government. The people at the top of the pyramid with the money need not be concerned with the environment itself, only with the power/control that will be granted to them to 'correct' the problem and 'Save the World'.
I'm surprised that this number is more than 1. After the first time reinstalling a friend/relatives PC to its' initial usable, I pull out my USB HD and a Ghost boot disk and immediately make an image. If they have problems that are unrecoverable again, I pull out the drive and let ghost do its work for an 1 or 2 and Viola, brand new pristine machine, the only thing left to do is install the latest updates, and any other new software they are using and update my image for next time.
If they have lots of documents, videos, etc. that they want to keep, I suggest they put it all under "My Documents" (so its easy for me to find and backup prior to re-imaging the drive). I have demonstrated that this is easy to do that a couple of them have acquired their own USB HD and handle this on their own now.
You should check out Transformers 2 on Blu-Ray. I was completely and utterly shocked to see the disk go straight to the movie when popped-in. No FBI warning, no previews, no commercials, no menu, just the movie, starting to play automatically. It was awesome. Now to get all future movies designed in this very way.
So what you're doing is allowing those who make/have lots of money to make a lot more money, and making it very difficult for those without a lot of money/income to increase their position.
I have to believe that you wrote that faster than you could think about it. How can a person without a lot of money/income increase their position? Well, they can make more money (that's really the only legal way that works), and a sales tax would not hinder them from doing so. However, an income tax would, because they have to pay a percentage of every dollar they earn in taxes. Compound that with graduated income tax rates and they will further be hindered from increasing their position by an income tax because once they cross a tax-bracket they not only pay more dollars in tax (because they earned more) they also have to pay a higher percentage.
Make no mistake about it, they way the federal income tax is designed and the way Obama promises to change it (only taxing those making more than $250,000), is to prevent the poor from ever becoming rich. Because as you make your way up the income ladder you have to work harder to earn the next buck you are able to keep.
The American Public and Congress can accept the risk of loss of life, what they are averse to accept is the risk of loss of multi-billion dollar pieces of equipment. Eliminate that risk, and they will willingly send wave after wave of men to their deaths without batting an eye, volunteer or not.
VoIP requires only ~120kbps. The thing about VoIP is not that it requires high speed, but that it requires low latency.
Um, did you read that before you hit post?? You do realize that in order to get low latency, the packets themselves have to move at a high speed. Bandwidth/Bitrate is not a measure of data speed, it is a measure of data density. Remember speed is function of distance and time.
As will the entirety of the USA when the North American Union is fully realized. The federal governments trampling on states' rights (or powers) makes a lot of sense in this light as the state's sovereignty will be treated as a novelty of the past.
Except that you aren't asking for a refund of what Lenovo paid microsoft for the license, you are asking for a refund of what you paid Lenovo for reselling the license. If you think for a minute that they aren't making a profit on every single piece of the machine, then I daresay you know not of how businesses are run.
If I only use my computer to run firefox, there is no useful difference between firefox crashing, or the kernel crashing.
It's takes longer to reboot the system than it does to re-open firefox. So, yes there is a useful difference. It also makes it plainly clear that is it a bug with firefox (so you know who to complain to) and not of the kernel. And in today's society knowing who to blame is priority 1.
The question you really have to ask is; why is this guy being prosecuted and the magazine (16 i think), that did a nude photo-shoot of her, publisher's, photographer's, etc. not being prosecuted? Sure, the pictures they published were not of her nude, but she was nude when they were taken.
but I agree ATF and the DEA should be abolished; alcohol, tobacco, and firearms are legal and the ATF is simply a holdover from alcohol prohibition.
I agree that Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store and not a government agency but you should know that the ATF is more about enforcing inter-state tax laws (which is why alcohol and tobacco are lumped in there) and not about dealing with illegal objects.
I guess it depends on how you look at it, and they didn't want to stick with one view-point. I was more curious to where the positive correlation between professional sports and and IT jobs this article implies comes from, it sure as hell doesn't make any sense to me.
Um, is it just me or has everybody forgotten the rule of the conservation of matter especially the global warming chumps. Matter is never truly created, nor is it ever truly destroyed, it only changes state. We have as much CO2 as we ever had, and will ever have. The same is true for all "greenhouse" gasses. The issues are, where is it and in what form. The best idea would be to learn how to reverse the process of the internal combustion engine and turn the greenhouse gasses back into fuel.
The interesting thing about the number 42 and it's relevance to Life, the Universe and Everything, is its representation in binary which is "101010". Basically, it's the simplest demonstration of an oscillation which continued would go on forever... So what is the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything?? Simply that it continues to exist.

Yes, but typically its from the police

No it IS a crime which was allegedly committed by "someone". The crime is fact, the criminal remains to be proven...

For a good ides of what this would look like, watch "Interstate 60" and pay attention to Moorlaw ;)
