Is someone trying to be smart here? Was this suppose to be a "Conjunction Fallacy"? If I have a license for each air and land then I can't really answer truthfully with the given options. I could pick either single license option, I guess, but then you aren't really getting accurate results of license possession.

Apparently these "climate scientists", their families and friends on this tour of Mawson’s camp site can't tell the difference between weather and climate. It appears they so believed in declining Antarctic ice they forgot to look at the weather and recent trends. There's an unprecedented amount of ice down there and these fools ignored that and went ahead and tried to complete their tour of a historic site. Exactly who are the idiots here?

This is a rather bold two faced statement from a guy who has his protagonists doing exactly that. Did he forget he wrote "Accelerando"? WTF man!

I've managed to make about 90% of my Christmas gift purchases using 0.7 Bitcoin. I managed to trade most of that at the $1100 value, lucky me. That trade payed for my Bitcoin mining. As more people use this option for taking payment it will only help to stabilize the value. Right now there are several online retailers taking them directly and there's a number of gift cards you can get using them. Gift cards are an easy way to trade coins into real products until more retailers start taking them directly.

It's about time. This thing has been an absolute environmental disaster. I've got family in Nebraska that talk but land being plowed up that's not seen a plow since the dustbowl, and because of the dustbowl. My environmentalist sister-in-law working up around Chicago talks about how terrible the extra planting has been for the Mississippi and Gulf. Too many nutrients getting into the water causing problems.

Just stop with the subsidies for this and it will work out fine.

So does anyone actually have insurance coverage that would pay for this kind of thing?

You might want to take a look at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation http://www.pire.org/index.asp . They appear to be an advocacy group against the use of any kind of drugs or alcohol. Their own literature notes that they want to promote "...expansion of laws and programs that will result in a substantial reduction in alcohol and drug related traffic fatalities." That's a fine goal but way too often these kinds of things come at a huge cost to civil liberties (TSA, NSA, etc). In any case it's hard to believe such a group would have real objectivism with their research and are probably fine with drivers being sent off to jail for the least bit of alcohol these road blocks might uncover.

By the time this kid is 16 she will likely have access to a self driving car. Hell it may even be required for 16 to 21 year olds by then.

So they are making Babbage mechanical computers in them nukes! Got to love problem solving. But the G loads have to cause problems on those devices, don't they? Timing errors and such?

I can't wait till the IT department can enforce password changes very 6 months on users cars because the IVI can access corporate data. It'll be sweet!

It's not like a "Regulator" can actually fix anything if it goes wrong. "No disaster here move along". Now they could prevent the operators from saying "No disaster here move along." That's a little bit important but again not a disaster.

The oil doesn't come out of chambers. It's a lo more like a sponge. Also this is a real old idea not sure why it's making /.

Here int he midwest we've been dealing with this alerts for weather from the day was pushed out. The I think it was about 2 days after the update we got multiple Thunderstorm Warnings for things happening 30 miles away and not even on a track for our geographic location. Wasn't part of the point of this to provide more accurate pinpointed alerts? You know where the cell towers are and you could send alerts to just the towers in the area of potential risk.

We also have the delayed messages, we got the first messages on time but well after the actual events we were still getting messages. Turning a recent Tornado Warning the local sirens went off as they should but about the time the all clear sounded then our phones started blowing up with the Tornado Warning. It was very confusing.

There also doesn't seem to be any scale to the level of the alert. They are all "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES" kinds of alerts. A Thunderstorm doesn't deserve the same level of alert as a Tornado.

THe only problem with that possibility is the reality that Japan is in a population decline. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2013/03/28/Japans-population-decline-highlighted/UPI-11001364445270/ I guess it's possible they are in decline because of reaching some maximum of some kind?
