Which university did Al Gore get his climatology degree from again?

Oh, you mean he's just a spokesperson? Like Bill Cosby was for JELL-O? Why would you give a shit what he said?

Of course if you have the reference for the prediction he was just repeating that might be from a slightly more believable source than Mr "I have a nobel peace prize, and an Oscar!". Though chances are pretty good that actual source says something like "X% chance" making it less of a slam dunk.

Also north != south, but that doesn't invalidate the claim, you could be going off topic on purpose.

Amazing, when you are competing with thousands of other projects for people's money you actually have to let people know you exist before you'll get any of that money.

Who would have thunk it!

Right, so in your country they just makes the "some conditions" work exactly the same way (it's probably how they do it in Nevada too for that matter).

Just like when you are required to advertize a job position but already know who you want to employ - and so the job advertisement becomes amazingly specific on a bizarre mix of required experience.

Why should people hand over money because you have a "great idea". A track record or a prototype seems a perfectly reasonable thing to ask for - and of course the person paying they money is the one who determines what qualifies as "track record".

Which is why those payments have an explicit exemption in FCPA - making it completely different from a cash business owner committing tax evasion.

If you wave a magic wand and make buses emit 0 CO2, then congrats you've reduced just the travel related emissions of CO2 by 1%. Woohoo!

Feel free to make up explanations off the top of your head, but maybe the slightest bit of NYC knowledge would help.

The three stretches of road that the study looked at traffic speeds for are all one-way, so nothing you said applies at all. Not one word of it.

Making a heart that will keep the patient alive for years is not easy but it is likely easier than making "we'll control our hearts with our smart phones" secure. The "wifi" is only one tiny part of the huge completely out of the control of the heart maker chain of security there.

Because they just show them too you with links to the source pages, rather than taking those images and creating a slide show out of them for you to put on a web page somewhere.

Because people lie?

Well I stand corrected on the "no one except you" bit. Apparently more than one anonymous coward also doesn't know that tri means three. Or maybe that graph mean character. Or maybe that ?: is only two characters...

?: is not a trigraph, which should be obvious since it doesn't have three characters in it.

Probably why no one except you seems to think anyone claimed it was.

And this human efforts at restoring them are "natural phenomenon". What was your point again?

would be a reasonably critical part of the e-coli staying alive...
