not Bush's fault a damn hurricane showed up and spoiled that tried and true means of appointing cronies. You have to admit that vacant "deer in headlights" look Brownie had while corpses floated behind him in the street was priceless. Community activism is almost as good a criteria, can't wait to find out if Obama really wants to destroy ISIS or just "manage" them, or maybe just continue to tease us with the waffling.
Winning? Losing, this admission is that models were useless, shameful the billions of dollars and euros wasted on climate models that are a farce. Finally there is hope of producing a rational model and decent science instead of the agenda driven propaganda of the IPCC
Be careful of multi-year averaged graphs; they are useful but the reality is 1998 was the hottest year on record. After that many near-record years happened, moreso in past. But the point is global average temperature has not been increasing year after year. Today's article is first intelligent thing I've ever seen on Slashdot in a year on climate change; most people just ape the more hysterical claims of the IPCC and their ilk.
A creature weighing 59 short tons of course would be wimpy and easily bullied and not at all impressive.
Not useless, important concepts taught from it at the time, for example action and reaction. It was a physics experiment
No worries, cryopreserved people are dead forever. They will not and can not be revived and the industry is a scam going on for now 47 years. I'll bet some of those early adopters thought they'd be thawed and "cured" (nevermind they died before freezing) by now. suckers.
Wow, festooning a computer case with weeds harmful to grains, to bring it apart. That's very novel compared to something as mundane as tearing one apart.
because they are individual, for a list of things so long the text file would take megabytes.
Well you know the Chinese are building all those empty cities in Africa for those driven out of the USA by Oprah and her marauding hordes of Dark Crusaders? They'll have to build microelectronics in a sweat shop 12 hours a day to pay the rent, and that's the lucky ones not digging rice plantations! I read it in a blog!
"Ethnic Greek Egyptian nationals of the Roman Colony of formerly Ptolemaic Egypt."
in Chicago cops beat people for jollies and rape women detained for "suspected of being a prostitute". They won't be too keen on use of body cameras to "record entire incidents" (except for their own private porn/sadism collection that is)
The old issue of nationality vs ethnicity ambiguity.
Ethnic Greeks living in Egypt, making them Egyptians?
I was wondering, this "scientific process" of which this bill speaks, is that the same as the "scientific method"; or are they specifically legally forbidding instruction in all aspects of scientific endeavor such as making hypothesis, peer review, scientific models and theories, standards, designing experiments, what is meant by a "scientific law", etc. etc.? No reason they should be half-assed about enforcing the ignorance of science's systems
For what, that is not news, those are claims in a blog. And even if true, there is no word on what actually was delivered, could have been baby powder.
I don't want to be young again, I just don't want to get any older.
