Al Gore quoted the best climate scientists who predicted a hockey stick rise in temperatures that never happened. That isn't in dispute. The paper is about why those models may have been so wrong. Or did you not catch on that they had to change the name of the crisis from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change." ?

Again, you attack the messenger, this time its Breitbart news site. Which fact did Soon get wrong? Which fact did Breitbart get wrong?

Please cite the law or ethics rule that Soon broke, with citation.

Soon's paper is ethical and peer reviewed. Attack the science if you can... but I'm guessing you can't. Most global warming "deniers" don't deny the data -- carbon dioxide is rising, but simply the (dire) predictions and proposed solutions.

Drones and all additional border enforcement act as a deterrent. Arrests are not the goal-- they're a undesired byproduct. The goal is to turn them away before they cross the border or discourage them from making the attempt.

That is one theory. The other theory is that there is no desire to turn around anyone and we're allowing 100,000 mostly unskilled and often dangerous people into the country every month. Take a look at the crime statistics and see what ignoring the border does to innocent citizens.

Soon's paper was fine. No lies, no fabricated data... And he attempts to explain the obvious elephant in the room: Why Climate Models Run Hot, which they obviously do.

Billions and billions of dollars have been squandered on this boondoggle. No wonder so many people don't accountability.

Sitting through 3 years of foreign language class was a utter waste of time for me. Would have gladly done double the amount of computer programming, physics, or electronics. (All of which I was also able to take, thankfully.) Three extra STEM classes in lieu of foreign language would be a big boost going into college and/or the job market. Computer Science departments could give a rip whether their students puede hablar español.
The trick is to make the courses relevant and interesting for the diverse abilities of teachers and students.

Advocating death against a person or group is not protected free speech. The problem is the hundreds of millions of muslims cheering for the few million or so muslims that are actively engaged in jihad. Islam is 1000x worse than the KKK ever was and yet the multicultural left (who claim to care about liberal values) are apologists.

Comment Music on a NAS (Score 1) 169

Since I typically don't watch the same movie twice, I think streaming video content is a no-brainer. And I love Pandora... but if you like listening to a single album at a time, where song B always comes after song A, a personal collection is still the way to go. And not that difficult or expensive. I have a system that works well-- QNAP (or Synology) NAS, with media server, and Sonos. I use SuperSync to sync everything from my iTunes accounts to the NAS and can sync to and from that from anywhere. But the music space is a bit fractured, and there are a lot of competing solutions, with no clear winners.
