I believe they are using a triangle because a triangle is the most efficient way of connecting 3 points (i.e. the 3 grids).

Try looking here: http://immigration.lawyers.com/deportation/Burdens-of-Proof-in-Deportation-and-Removal-Actions.html

The deference is between "beyond a reasonable doubt" and "clear and convincing".

The standard of proff required for deportation is different from the standard of proof required for conviction. It's similar to how conspiracy charges are easier to prosecute than the crime itself.

There's currently some good work being done to develop an algae based jet fuel. Also what about wind?

I think the forced chemical castration played a larger role in his suicide...

Sufficient pressure and flow rate. I would suggest using some termites to construct a small riser above your ant hole, so you get some pressure build up. Don't forget to heat your aluminum to it pouring temperature (~1380 F) rather than it's melting temperature. The decreased viscosity increases flow rate (compare pouring molasses and water down funnels) and well as allowing the aluminum to travel further before solidifying.

Because the Taliban specifically told the Times that they would kill him if it were reported?

A condom is not 100% safe, it reduces the odds of getting STDs with 85% (only staying in your mom's basement with the doors locked from in- & outside is).

Would you mind mind pointing to where in that 49 page report the 85% number came up? The only numbers I could find were in the .4-2.3% failure range, which is quite different from the 15% you're quoting.

And what do you suppose will happen if MS doesn't move? Foreign competition that isn't subject to a crushing corporate tax will then have an advantage over MS. You don't move your labor base because you want to, you do it because if you don't, your competition will. It has nothing to do with greed (a favorite word of the class warfare monger) and everything to do with how the world works in a global labor market.

What competition? There are no foreign OS publishers and no foreign office analogs. In terms of search engines, Microsoft is competing against Google, yahoo and maybe wolfram, all of which are based in the US. All of the browser alternatives are either free or based in the US. In fact, the only industry where Microsoft has foreign competition is in the video games market, where prices are essentially fixed (all games cost $60.00) and so labor costs only determine profit, not competitiveness.

My impression was that the term were a behind a hyperlink which was out of sight when you checked the "I agree" button. It's similar to voiding a contract that has terms after the space for you signature.

The climate isn't a boolean.

We know the climate is going to change, the question is now how much is it going to change?

If we stop all human green house gas emissions now (last year actually) the average global temperature will increase by roughly 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century. If we maintain our current level of green house gas emissions for the next 100 years we should see an increase of 9 degrees. If we bring India and China up to western emissions levels it'll be 12 degrees.

The guy is being accused of a lot of things, but the only evidence provided is from his room mate (the one he outed). Having read the warrant it sounds like the room mate threw the kitchen sink at him, accusing him of:

-using stolen laptops

-having "hundreds" of illegally downloaded movies and songs

-being a hacker

-jail breaking iphones

-altering other people computers so that illegal files would be hidden (I'm not sure what this even means, the closest I can come is that he set up partition on other students computers)

-telling his roomates about all the systems he's hacked into

-Changing grades.

Frankly it's ridiculous that they got this search warrant based on one morons testimony.
