What's this wailing again about measles again?? It is much better to get measles once and be immune for life than to be innoculated many times and risk the change of being poisoned by some nefarious substance in the vaccine!
I had measles as a child and have no fear whatsoever of the little disease. People are so dumb and uneducated these days. John Taylor Gatto is now proven correct more than ever.
Seriously, this case reveals much more about the brain-dead US legal system, the overreach by Federal authorities and the abuse of legal powers than it does anything else. There is no way that any sane person can justify 5 years in jail for linking to a stolen source in a forum.
The pathetic bunch that ran Stratfor lost it and someone needed to take the fall for it. If it was a mom and pop shop that couldn't have known better that was "burgled", it would have been a different story, but these guys were supposedly the security experts and were asking to be hacked by their behaviour.
However, Brown didn't hack them, he just reported?? This is like a bulldog that can't get to the postman, so he bites the fence out of frustration. Really really stupid.
I think you sorely overestimate the impact a few degrees can have on global climate
Thought I'd FTFY.
If you'd take the trouble to actually study the materials spewed forth my the IPCC and it's goons (people like Michael E. Mann, et al you know, the faux nobel laureates) and also read what the critics have to say, you'd soon see through the scam very clearly.
This is how good a little warming is: http://wattsupwiththat.com/201...
And how was was it fairly recently? A few centuries ago: http://wattsupwiththat.com/201...
This is not hard. It only becomes hard if you have an agenda and try to make the data fit your agenda.
Strictly, this is recording only the fact of a conversation, rather than the content. It's "envelope information".
And you believe that? I suppose you also believe that your communication with Santa Claus is safe and unintercepted. Now, we know the Tooth Fairy is immune to interception, but not the other fairy tale creatures...
To believe that shadowy US government organisations that do things that are mostly invisible to the general public will stop at only looking at the mail envelope, rather than skimming the contents as well, is so crazy that I'd bet on meeting the Snowman in person as more likely.
A great number of devices (toasters, irons, kettles, blenders, etc are designed to break and not be fixable. Being a boomer, I hate this. I don't want to create landfill by disposing my old appliances and I'd rather attempt to fix them or have them fixed. However, they use convoluted screws, flimsy clips that break on disassembly and parts (like an LG washing machine we had) that cannot be be opened (the gearbox / clutch unit) and although you can buy a replacement, it costs more than a new machine.
So I've found a way around this. Before I buy anything these days, I make sure that it can be repaired even when out of warranty and that there's a local repair-shop or service agent close by. Surprise! The devices that fall into this category don't cost more, all one has to do is be more selective. I don't even look at AIM, Safeway, Premier and similar brands anymore. Even many Philips devices also fall into the "don't buy - cannot be repaired" category.
It's a choice to say no to the bastard companies that sell junk designed to break soon after the guarantee expires. If we all did that, it would be a better world. Wishful thinking... sigh.
[data needed].
second thought, maybe I can do this. the greater los angeles area is maybe 60 miles tall and 120 miles wide. 7200 square miles * 3 inches of rain = 0.35 cubic miles of water. that doesn't seem like much.
which is 385bn Gallons, so only 29 showers like that and the drought is all over...
Have you read through your auto insurance policy?
...
I'm not a fan of regulatory capture (see my previous posts in this thread) but let us at least be balanced enough to acknowledge that there are legitimate concerns about Uber that need to be addressed by someone.
Well, then let Uber or whoever make a deal with insurers to fix this! This is not government's business. Unless you're a communist, if which case you would think it is...

Historian.
Stick to that, woman.
Playing futurist only makes your look a bigger idiot that you already are.
On the other hand, you can blow hot air as much as you like, just don't attempt to tax us for it. If you want to go extinct, please do, but don't drag us into your scheme.
Of course, the fact that this probably means the species is doing well, has passing these loons like a ship in the night.
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
