I am not defending what the National Post did in any way but their libel nor does the findings by the House of Commons completely exonerate the scientists of the UAE.

While the House of Commons showed there was no proof of "tampering" of the data in the climategate sample it was because the UAE deleted all of the raw data in question.

There was no way to prove if the data had been tampered with because the data was deleted. The only thing that was left was their "value added" data.

I don't know if what the UAE did could be considered science because science is supposed to be an open and completely transparent process. When you throw out your raw data instead of releasing it when legally and morally obliged to you shouldn't be able to be called a scientist any more.

That's why the head of the CRU at UAE resigned his post.

They also engaged in trying to get skeptics from being published in scientific journals, among other things.

I absolutely wish we could debate the science and be 100% objective in its analysis when you put humans into the equation it simply isn't possible.

There is nothing wrong with being vigilant. It has often been said that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

In many places around the country the police force is either being used to collect fines to make their budget and/or their force is being cut. In fact, an Ohio county Judge has urged its citizens to buy guns, be vigilant and set up community watches.

Sure, people can take being vigilant too far, but so can authorized police.

Even with a modern police force they need all the help they can get.

A few years ago I helped the police catch a person who stole a disc golf basket from a local park. A yahoo news group was alerted to an ebay posting of a disk golf basket without a pole, which means it was probably stolen. I knew a basket had recently been stolen from rarely played course. I googled the ebay user name, found his myspace page with pictures of him playing at that same course. The information I gathered was forwarded to the police and within a week the person was arrested.

If I had just filed a police report that the basket had been stolen the person would have never been caught. Using the newsgroup as a sort of open-source intelligence resource made a huge difference in catching the thief.

Wrong. It means less trees will be planted. Paper comes from trees planted specifically for that purpose in large farms. The higher the demand for paper, the more higher the need for tree farms to be planted.

Wood pulp is best from younger trees, which soak up more CO2 and pump out more O2 than mature trees.

The only green thing about Ubisoft's decision is the color of the money they'll be pocketing from this.

Not only that, but the founder Mark Zuckerberg has no problem hacking into other people's accounts. He came up with facebook while working on a similar project for others at Harvard. Evidence shows that he stalled his work on the other project while working on Facebook while stringing along the others. I certainly wouldn't trust a backstabbing jackass like Zuckerberg with my information. It is why I deleted my facebook account almost a year ago.

The book he is referring to is Proofs of a Conspiracy by John Robison

No one is to blame for the eruption of a volcano but the stopping of air traffic can be blamed on government fearmongering. The airspace closings were entirely based on computer models, which according to every test flight taken by major air carriers in the past few days, has been proven to be completely wrong.

Hopefully, our government officials in North America won't make the same mistake.

Who would have thought that the extreme police state under Hitler would come up in a discussion about a dystopian future?

Godwin's Law is just an observation that the longer the online discussion the greater the chances for someone to bring up the Nazi's.

It doesn't necessarily invalidate anyones comment or analogy, especially in this case where we're dealing with corporate interests above the interests of the people. Mussolini once defined Fascism as Corporatism, which is the fusion of corporate and state interests.

You can't get a much more apt comparison than 20th century fascism and the entertainment industry's wet dream for copyright legislation.

Not a single dime of federal income tax goes to build/maintain roads or any other piece of infrastructure. Most of it goes to pay off interest on the national debt.

It only makes me wonder the same thing I've wondered for a long time; why is samzenpus still allowed to post articles?

Looking at tuition costs can make one feel like they've been probed in the ass so why not learn about others who have felt the same way?

Also the best way to round-up and intern people based on race.

I think in terms of the end of next decade he is right. The console will be replaced with iphone/ipad type devices which can be tethered to your TV/computer/etc... and be used as a gaming device.

This is also the way the desktop computer will be going as well.

Congratulations on doing exactly what you chastised the poster for; making an assertion and then providing no proof.

Bravo on being modded insightful for such obvious hypocrisy.

Yes, because posting the official CPS report, interviewing the person and quoting another article on the matter is such lousy journalism.

In the report you will find:
"Parents are unsuitable and create an environment where the children believe the government will harm them" which is the sole concern listed.

So, please explain what is so bad about that article? Or is it that you don't like that website because they cover topics and asks questions which you don't typically agree with?

Or whoever is behind the attack is going after the Dalai Lama to implicate the Chinese Government.
