Agree, my 4yo granddaughter "steals" mum's tablet at 4.30am and uses it to watch cartoons on youtube, I'm sure his dad will figure it out (if he can see it).

BP killed the gulf of Mexico and they're still in business?

In general birds are more likely to fly into the window of a skyscraper than the blade on a large windmill. The most practical thing you can do to help birds is put a bell on your cat's collar.

They probably learnt something about their models, I haven't read it so I'm not sure why anyone would publish it in a journal?

I was taught Kelvin does not use the "degrees" qualifier but the others do, I thought it was some weird quirk of the English language so I never asked for an explanation.

But I CAN recommend watching "48 Hrs" over Lethal Weapon. It's the template.

It is the cause. It IS a social one.

It is because of corporate food production, factory farming and industrial "recipes" that make cheap and plentiful Soylent Soy or Corpulent Corn - with added glutimate to overstimulate appetite generation.

These are the product of an agribusiness that has made this production a part of public policy, through the US Farm Bill and other legislative manipulation.

If you are deliberately misinformed, marketed to death, and underpaid, the last thing you need to solve for the attendant health effects is more pills. It's like plugging your nostrils, because you have a cold.

But I bet the pharmaceutical and health-insurance rackets love the idea...

The man WHO PROVED that GOD lives inside a QUARK!??!

The US/UK/AU/NZ/Canada are sometimes called the "five eyes", they have been running a spy "cartel" since the end of WW2, mainly for economic espionage. They managed to keep Turing's war time code breaking methods a shared secret for almost 25yrs after the war, those methods were not only a deciding military advantage in WW2, they also gave the cartel a huge political and economic advantage over everyone else from 1945 to at least the mid-70's.

Ask yourself, who "pulls the strings" in a termite mound, now take a good look at big city full of hairless apes and compare it's form and function to a termite mound.

Ummm, just because you can be persecuted doesn't mean you are persecuted.

No they are not really interested in individuals other than they may be a key node in a human network. They are telling the truth when they say they want the meta-data. Meta-data will tell you how others have organised themselves and who the key individuals are in the network. They were doing the exact same thing to anti-war protesters when I was a teenager in the 70's. They don't care about the individual, they care about organised resistance. Knowing the "org chart" of you enemy is priceless information, however it does appear the NSA considers everyone on the planet a potential enemy.

If the truth be really known most of this mass spying is economic espionage, the "five eyes" have been engage in it since at least the end of WW2.

That's the thing with a list of rules, someone at some point has to interpret what they mean.
