Seems to run fine on my rooted Galaxy Note 3.

I've been using a beta version of Spidey - it does triangulation. https://github.com/jtwarren/sp...

The best way to remove the tax grab aspect is to always plead not guilty to any traffic tickets. You are (at least around here) entitled to your day in court. Even if you know you are guilty, taking up court time and having someone come and testify against you makes your case almost always a money losing proposition for the government.

The more people who fight their tickets the more money the government loses. If everyone opted for their day in court, tickets would only be handed out for actual safety reasons, since enforcement would cost money rather than raising it.

Everyone knows that is not possible. The climate never changed before the age of SUVs.

Anecdotally speaking, warming is generally good for beer sales.....

If anyone could actually predict the climate with good resolution on any sort of meaningful timescale they could easily be billionaires themselves. That would be a huge intelligence coup for strategic investing. Not surprising they can't, and don't, though.

It is unfortunate the ruling did not really address the concept of password protection whatsoever (ostensibly since it was not part of the facts in this case), though given that I'm assuming that part of the jurisprudence under appeal still holds.

That would be the same case, when it was in Ontario court;

[75] If the cellphone had been password protected or otherwise "locked" to users other than the appellant, it would not have been appropriate to take steps to open the cellphone and examine its contents without first obtaining a search warrant.

The SCC in this ruling has now said you have no less right to privacy just because you don't password protect your phone, but totally sidestepped dealing with the real world implications of that. I expect this will be back before the court sooner rather than later.

That was Moncton, New Brunswick, but point taken.

the guy definitely has some unresolved issues.

This forecast has about a 5% chance of being vindicated retrospectively by future generations of scientists as being mostly on the mark.

That is another interesting thing about this whole debate. Science used to be a cooperative endeavor. Climate science is so polarized that there will be winners and losers in the historical record.

A couple generations from now, some group - either the Hansens and Manns or the Singers and Lindzens, are going to get the Lysenko Memorial award.

It is a matter of debate between people who study such things, which is not most climate scientists.

Good science isn't political at all; it merely describes reality. Climatology, as groups like the IPCC present it, isn't good science. It's a bunch of fudge-factor-laced models and ignored observations tightly wound around a political agenda. Basically, ignore what you can't explain, place assumptions anywhere the data is incomplete, draw conclusions that don't match up to reality, and pretend it all makes sense because you have "consensus".

This.

I like science as much as anyone but the IPCC's actual predictive track record leaves me fairly underwhelmed.

The problem is that we need better data collection, more data collection, and a lot more work put into understanding the underlying mechanics of the system as a whole before we start drawing wide-reaching conclusions about the drivers of the whole thing

Yup. I've noted in my work that engineers tend to be more skeptical as a group in general. This probably sums up why;

Basically the whole process is fixated on CO2 to basically the exclusion of all else. Suggesting anything else generally gets you ostracized. Oceans have only really entered the discussion recently and only because the models have been so bad. That's not the science I grew up with.

That is what adoption is for (though I know several gay people who have children from hetero relationships as well).

Sums it up well.

Government is a bigger threat to your rights and liberties than terrorists will ever be.

No worries.

It will be either warmer or colder tomorrow too.
