I think if the earth has actually been cooling since 1980, that's pretty good evidence we can wait. It's actually evidence that it isn't human action causing the climate change, so we can forget about trying to change whatever behaviors

Politics got injected because a lot of money is being spent on climate change research, clean energy, carbon credits, etc. Kyoto was all politics. A lot of money stands to be made or lost on climate change issues. You think Al Gore is doin

It's interesting that she thinks more women need to succeed for other women . Why can't women just succeed for themselves? Have the passion and drive to create -- for themselves? Why does it need to be for someone else? I reckon few men

I'm not sure they are talking about the same kind of exercise. One is about building muscle mass, the other is cardio. Increased muscle mass does increase resting metabolism.

gone quite poorly is a relative term. If your perspective is the wealth creation for the new private owners of the utilities, it has gone very very well in fact as they have made lots of money. But there are few, if any examples anywhere

Well, I don't trust priceline anymore. I used to recommend them to everyone, but not anymore. I booked hotels and rental cars frequently when I traveled and I need another one soon, but I think I might not use them this time.

Humans can rationalize anything: http://habitatchronicles.com/2006/12/smart-people-can-ration... You frame a problem in a context, or a time frame, or a motivation and you can argue whatever point you want. All predictions about the futur

During my work at a utility with lots of nuclear power plants, my boss talked about this very issue. He described the problem and the proposed solution being the tall objects sticking out of the ground. One of the young people on the team

If you look at the data here: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/16593104/Recoverys-Phantom-Distr... You'll also see that lots of districts are getting millions of dollars and creating ZERO jobs. Look at Ohio as an example. I suspect the obvio

A lot of the comments are bashing predictions as fiction, linkbait, etc, but I like predictions. They are the only way to really measure the vision of an individual. Perhaps not the only way, but a good way. I takes understanding, imaginat

I do believe it was the mortgage interest tax deduction that helped create the real estate bubble. Lots of people said, "It's okay, I can deduct the interest from my income. I pay a lot less taxes now!" Not even aware of where the money wa

I agree. I always wondered why lawsuits are inherently expensive. If they are bringing the case, they pay the court costs. You don't have to pay attorneys. Life is about learning and experience and what better way than to be taken on

It is a cycle. Most endeavors start out as labors of love. Invention. Creativity. Internships. Then as the product is developed and there is more demand for it, more customers, more money. The wheat separates from the chaff. The chaff

I think it's quite inappropriate for this person, who should know better, to be posting other people's email addresses in his blog. It's uncalled for, even if they are on the school's site. This person who should be acting like an adult

This is why I don't understand copyright law. Aren't data facts? Facts can't be copyrighted, right? Where a business is located is a fact. How can they say how someone else can use that fact?

I didn't take the original guy's quote like that. He said, is create a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics . That doesn't mean they copied the mac, it means they tried to make the graphics really good -- like the mac.

Ugh. I know. But it's a joke and the fact that everyone there takes it seriously means they aren't serious. It's a waste of time. If the site is trying to be a funny place to go talk about stupid ideas, then it succeeds, but if it's t

I've been there many times and the ideas just aren't good. Seriously, a "jump to conclusions mat?" It was funny the first time i heard it, but to be the number one item on the site this long makes it look like a farce.
