I think that if Obama didn't have to cater to politics and was a tyrant of some sort you'd class him as centre maybe centre-left. Politics means he is pushed way towards the right.

The huge corporate gain was caused through the supreme court anyways. Nothing really has changed in the IP field at all...
Republicans/Mccain would have been worse.
But the upcoming election isn't dems vs mccain style republicans. It is dems versus the TEA PARTY. I don't think people realize how scary that really is. And how important it is to vote. A bunch of religious nutjobs that believe fox news is the place to learn about the world and that sarah palin is an overwhelmingly good candidate.
You may not like Obama and the dems. But not voting gives power to people as stupid as Sarah Palin. As childish as Glenn Beck and as terrifying as Ann Coulter or Michael Savage. With ideas as foolish as Rand Paul's (the guy wants to abolish the dept of education and the NSF).
You might think its bad now but it could be much much worse.
:P All fine and dandy. But if you look up under skin displays they posit using glucose +oxygen to generate the electricity. In almost every article you find going back 50 years. Seriously. I was just saying that the idea isn't novel. No idea how far serious scientists have gotten with the idea. I thought using specially tagged bioluminescent proteins would be more viable. Only really visible at night mind you. We could just use the tech to stimulate the glow function of the cells. (But this involves gene manips which people aren't too hot on.
Grats on playing into the summaries hands. Just because it says hes an arctic scientist doesnt mean that he is. If you think about it, it doesnt make any sense, there is no such position. The summary just goaded you into making an ass of yourself and succeeded.
Laurence C. Smith is a professor of geography at UCLA and a hydrologist. Sure he did write a book about the future importance of the north. That does not indicate that he is some how reliant on arctic study... Or something like that. Nor was there indication that he'd have written a book purely to get grants. It seems to be something he is interested in so he did research on and wrote a book. The science is real, we have found tons of oil reserves and gas reserves. This was obvious without even doing the science. We suddenly have new land available to us that we didn't have before. And new trade routes opening is obvious hell, it is happening to some degree already through Canadian waters.
If you dispute his claims then find science against him. If publishing a paper or saying something is important or being a part of the field you are researching is an inditement of fraud then science becomes impossible. You cannot force scientists to be in fields they don't care about. Write about things they find unimportant and are not educated in. It doesn't make sense.
The anti-science rhetoric coming out of/. these days isn't insightful. It is about as cute as the 'correlation != causation', true in some cases but it isn't an argument that can be blanket applied to everything.
Ubuntu choosing NOT to use gnome-shell IS being consistent.
Gnome is going in a brave and stupid new direction. Ubuntu won't be taken along for the ivory tower of idiocy's ride.
Unity provides a much more consistent UI. Incremental change and improvement. Moving some part of the UI to a side is good since monitors keep getting wider, leaving you with a funny little bar of usable space. This counters that. Good.
Gnome-shell from the day it got stuck in the roadmap showed that they have no idea wth they are doing.
If you want consistency you agree with this decision.
Erm... the point of funding research if to find solutions not.... I dunno what ever you thought it was for. Breast cancer deserves more research funding because it is has already been decently solved? Something like 90% of women survive it. Lets shift our focus to something that is "costing far more time and money to aid"... the point of research is to CHANGE that.
The possible ak and rpg that was never seen. And the us troops that were quite some distance away?
Either way, a news organisation would just say "us gunship fires on civilians, reuters" or "heroic troops stop ambush, reuters employee used as human shield" depending on your angle. Releasing the actual video is way better.
Related. The US papers on what to do about the wikileaks problem included in the section of what options are available a point about how they should be able to deal with wikileaks firmly because other countries were more firm. Listed were a couple countries like Iran and N. Korea. I can only sleep at night assuming that the writer was trying to be ironic.
Person A and Person B don't get along. Person A has a bunch of data about himself. Person B gets his hands on this data. Person B picks and chooses data to make Person A look bad.
Why then would Person A not release all of the information? It would utterly destroy Person B's reputation for being a valuable source of information. It would put up the good qualities Person A has in the data that Person B left out.
There is no reason for this at all. Therefore we can say that Person B was releasing all the data like they said OR editing the data in favour of person A which no one believes. Those are the only two options on the table.
They are releasing raw data. Their personal bias can be disregarded since they aren't the creators or interpreters of these documents. They speak for themselves.
Were you actually replying to the gp? I totally don't see it... anyways...
Gay marriage isn't a super important national level issue. Its simple though so it really shouldn't be that time consuming. Terrorism IS though. Look at the amount of money that the fear of terrorism justifies the government to spend. An incredibly huge figure~ So of course it is important to the economy. Health care is the same, it is a large chunk of change that is being thrown around. So it too is important to the national economy.
BUT being able to force people to focus when they read something would be valuable as well. Possible application would be some important bit of info for grunts in the military or office policies or possibly the best use is notes to yourself to remember something.
I'd like to point out that while I think that Attila is totally wrong and a bit of a douche for saying the entire left is controlled by George Soros. And was dumb to discard the Tea Party's funding...
He certainly wasn't 'Offtopic' mods. 'There is no -1 Disagree'
Personally I don't think parent is Flamebaiting. His ignorance resulted in a number of well written replies that illuminated exactly how he is wrong and how wrong he is. He was the perfect devil's advocate, guiding the other side to numerous insights. And I thank him for it.

"liberals are usually the loudest, so you think there's more of them."
LOL. Aside from carpet bombing neighbourhoods I don't think the tea party could get any louder...
I read a piece by a guy arguing that evo-bio programs are biased against the religious. Because they don't teach ID. :(
More informed = less religious. Sorry, not a bias it is just reality.

Ask most old people about their fears of Alzheimers and high on their list is being a burden. Or generally not be productive.

I believe you've hit the nail on the head.

so either way it could use further looking into.
First season looked pretty boring... but it got better I believe.
"There's far less oversight of food and drug safety over there."
Sounds like a great thing from someone wanting to create drugs and test it and not be old by the time people can use it.
Stem cell research?
