Weird title, if a dust storm really hits Mars, as opposed to a dust storm merely brewing on Mars, the whole solar system would likely be affected. Regardless of how big the molecular cloud would be, the fact that an interstellar gas cloud i

Allende won with 37% and a 83% turnout, Nixon won with 43% and a 62% turnout, giving Allende 30% of the popular vote and Nixon 27 %. I'm not sure what this tells us about Nixons right to have Allende deposed though.

This study will learn things about how a biased sample of the population answer choices in a simple game depending on the context given; extrapolation from that basis to anything wider, for example the notion that the players view these cho

If the "Swedish official" you refereed to is Peter Fallenius, he was sentenced to three years in jail in a lower court and this was upheld by the supreme court (basically his appeal was rejected because he didn't turn up[1]).

Historically China has fought wars over its borders, there is no obvious reason why they should switch to a US style expeditionary military with world wide ambitions. That the contested islands are uninhabited in that well populated part of

Well, there isn't much use for a navy in a land war with Russia anyway.

I'm also confused by that statement, especially as I was using msn over xmpp up until that died two years ago or however much it was. I think maybe the grandparent was saying that you couldn't add msn friends to your contact in gt

How can you afford to rent a van if you can't afford to buy a beer in a bar twice a year?

What, people started using msn instead of gchat because those chats weren't on xmpp? Why would gchat have as many users as facebook anyway? It's not like gmail was a community like facebook was. MSN meanwhile basically started as

Yeah, it'd be nice if IM just settled on some interoperable basis. I think there is an eternal need for a new chat app (as each new generation of school children create their first accounts on some service their parents aren't alr

What? For irc you can connect without an account, how is that harder than forcing people to register on github first? Oh, you mean its easier for people who already have github account? Who are these people that create accounts on a hosting

Yeah, you needed aim if you wanted to chat with some americans when I played utopia. Meanwhile the big IM breakthrough among my less technical friends was msn. I quite quickly found a stand along multi-protocol client and I've stuck to

Well, certainly its easier to become poor if you live in an expensive city. But once you are poor, how can you afford moving?

What? Do you have to go to a judge if you want to change your name in general, or is there a special law that say that if you change your name to something differently gendered you need a judge? I have a trans friend and the biggest name re

So anyone know if the WSJ has accepted climate change and apologised for denying it for decades? Or are they still to be considered unreliable handlers of science findings?

Yeah, I found the lack of discussion about possible causes by modifying atomic physics rather than go directly to new particles disappointing. Maybe there is a good reason to trust that standard theory cannot be modified to introduce bumps

I usually don't congratulate people on their birthday on Facebook, because there are so many birthdays and it feels more fair to neglect uniformly. But then Facebook introduced a small widget that let me leave comment directly from my

Judging from the more informative videos linked in other comments, there is a brief timelapse shot of the printing. But I agree that with all the other CGI it is hard to trust it is a real timelapse shot.

There is a clear difference between targeting all the files of an organization that you know is committing wrongs, and targeting everyone in the world. When NSA grabbed everything they could, they did not conceive of any limits, literally e
