Interesting rule of thumb! Maybe the authors responsible for that ton of peer-reviewed literature I've just been browsing through - with 'toxins' in the title, should take note.

It's a fanciful smear to suggest that the billions of dollars at stake play a role here, isn't it? What a ridiculous idea! http://www.gmwatch.org/gm-firms/10595-monsanto…

Fancy searching for reasons to dismiss someone's argument or thesis! That's not playing fair at all.

Study of German was mandatory for undergraduate chemists intending to do postgraduate work at University of St. Andrews in the 1960s. Not sure about other institutions.

Let's hope so. Not fool-proof but this is a sound procedure isn't it? So why wasn't it implemented by European Authorities as well? I wonder what their counter-arguments were?

The co-pilot was breathing normally for ten minutes while the door was being hammered repeatedly. Interpreting this as 'deliberate' inaction is hardly 'stray speculation'.

'Thinking meat' is mere derogatory verbiage appropriate for an arena like HN but that's just jousting.

So how will the model be used? Isn't this important given that the conclusions in this paper could be stated by anyone thinking about the subject for ten minutes? Abstracts usually tell us about …

Isn't the piece mostly a series of correct observations (if they are not, no doubt someone will point this out) about Facebook from which one can come to one's own conclusions? I'm not …

I guess you have the results of a detailed poll which checked the Portland public's knowledge of the issues or are you being a tad patronizing in your assumptions?

Adults only here!

What modesty!

Maybe the proponent should be looking for work in less demanding fields.

Governments are doubtless enthusiastic about their introduction given that they will then have access to exquisite details for every single journey undertaken.

Most out of the system? In what way could this possibly be true? 100 billion is 1/6th of UK government expenditure in a year. Moreover that money was generated by these people not money creamed o…

What sort of joint effort do you have in mind? Force works of course; that's an option (as in China) is it? Curbing consumption? Same again. Love to know what you have in mind to stop the buyers …

Yes, I am sure that those who say mercury is a highly toxic element don't know what they are talking about. Or perhaps they do.

And it won't do either, merely encourage the use of other routes to planning such activities. It's not difficult to imagine a terrorist plan that has no dependence on electronic messaging. T…

How likely is it that the UK (for instance) will try to ban Tor after the election later this year?

Perhaps this is the reason and I can't understand what the problem is myself. http://gatesofvienna.net/2015/01/what-if-these-lone-wolves-w... …
