OxyContin is time release Heroin. Next time read the article before trying to defend that fatass lying piece of shit.

Wrong! If you cannot duplicate the results of an science experiment independently, then it didn't happen. This is science not religion. Science works off of provability and reproducibility. Just because "I said so" doesn't make it so.

I think it's interesting that all you people complaining about astroturfing are posting as AC.

That's nice. but it has nothing to do with my comment.

A new payment model is most certainly news I am interested in hearing about. I am that guy that draws the short straw and ends up running the servers. This Is an innovative payment structure... now lets just see if it catches on.

sure during peak hours this in not great for urban traffic but off peak times it would still be very feasible. It's about time Traffic and traffic control started communicating in a smart way. This sort of tech is all precursor to auto drive cars.

RTFA this article is trying to suggest that there has not been the well documented +2c rise in global temps in the last decade. From the Article: "Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now. This is known to the warming establishment, as one can see from the 2009 "Climategate" email of climate scientist Kevin Trenberth: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't." But the warming is only missing if one believes computer models where so-called feedbacks involving water vapor and clouds greatly amplify the small effect of CO2."

Do water vendors feel the need to state the obvious... like water cures thirst?

Has anyone considered pitting them against each other in mortal human combat? That would surely make the cream rise to the top!

I use Emacs as an IRC client, an RPN calculator, a mini text browser, for browsing usenet, and I even play a couple of games in it... but when I edit text I use vim.

Yeah I am fully aware that this information is nothing more than estimates. I am aware that photographic grains do not line themselves up in perfect X,Y grid coordinates. However kens site is the only place I have seen a written honest attempt to estimate the actual resolution of film. Now for years I have heard digital camera salesmen try to tell me that this high MP camera or that high MP camera will somehow equate to a 35MM camera. However I have had some experience in scanning very old prints. These prints I am scanning are not 35mm by any means, but instead they are very old plate style photographic prints that overall carry more resolution than a 35mm image, however a modern 35mm image will carry far more detail per square mm than one of these prints I am scanning. That being said. with a scanner I am able to pull details out of these pictures that would be hard to see with a proper jewelers loop.
My point being that there is no digital camera alive today that can actually come close to the resolution of proper photographic film of any format.

David Jones: The Russians put our camera made by *our* German scientists and your film made by *your* German scientists into their satellite made by *their* German scientists.

Long answer: YES!
TLDR: no.
