  4. Re:EPA has exceeded safe limits, needs curbing on Senate Advances "Secret Science" Bill, Sets Up Possible Showdown With President · · Score: 1

    The SCOTUS's opinion is effectively conditional on CO2 being a greenhouse gas that can endanger public health or welfare.

    The SCOTUS does not "judge" science. They based their decision on what other organizations have said. In other words, the SCOTUS has never "judged" whether or not CO2 is a pollutant.

  5. Re:Religion and science on Pope Attacked By Climate Change Skeptics · · Score: 0

    Since climate change is based upon faith and not science, the Pope is the ideal person for the job.

    Utilities do use batteries for short term electricity storage. http://www.aesenergystorage.co...

  9. The article defines a troll as someone who has been banned from an online group.

    You can be banned from a website such as redstate for being an Obama supporter. People are often banned from websites solely for having minority viewpoints.

  10. Nope on US Started Keeping Secret Records of International Telephone Calls In 1992 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Nope. The US started monitoring all international calls much earlier. Read a book on the NSA.

  11. No, really all they are doing is driving more talented individuals away from their business.

    Maybe that is how they plan on hiring more women!

  15. Re:smart/intelligent != knowing a lot of facts on Google 'Makes People Think They Are Smarter Than They Are' · · Score: 1

    > Sometimes being smart is knowing how to access the resources needed to do obscure things

    No. Being knowledgeable about a subject is being able to make use of reference sources.

  16. Re:Here's the thing on Google 'Makes People Think They Are Smarter Than They Are' · · Score: 2

    > Doesn't bother me one bit if someone looks the facts up and presents that as part of their argument or statement.

    That is the problem. Something finds something on the internet using Google and presents that as a "fact". And, then presents themselves as an expert on the subject because of that "fact".

    Internet over 4G really isn't that expensive

    In what way is $5 per GB not "that expensive"?

    It is very cheap in comparison to the cost of selling his house.

  20. Re:What's with the inclusion of "climate change"? on The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Introduces the Doomsday Dashboard · · Score: 1

    Pretty much. No one cares about nuclear weapons since the cold war ended. Well, no one but old, irrelevant people.

    I'm less worried about full scale nuclear war, but I'm a lot more worried about nuclear weapons proliferation to groups that are unlikely to use them with any sort of restraint.

    You mean countries like Israel?

  24. Re:Headdesk on Stanford Study Credits Lack of Non-Competes For Silicon Valley's Success · · Score: 2

    Nope.

    If someone does work as a contractor without a formal contract, by default the software / IP is the property of the contractor, and not the other company. He is hence perfectly within his rights to open source his software.

    The situation is different if you are an employee.

  25. Re:Steve Jobs is the Monkeywrench on Stanford Study Credits Lack of Non-Competes For Silicon Valley's Success · · Score: 2

    Nope.

    * I have contacted some companies directly and I have been explicitly told my someone at that company that they can not hire me because my current company would retaliate against them.
