While "innocent until proven guilty" is typically the right approach, "huge assholes until proven otherwise" has always been extremely accurate for Monsanto.
Great quote, thanks. With the exact same arguments (basically, I'm for the inalienable right of existence for Israel, but against colonialism and disproportionate strikes against civilians), I've been labeled a terrorist, an antisemite or a sionist, depending on whom I talk to.
You're right. All I'm saying is that you actually need some imagination to find out what the worst-case scenario could be. As in, not just "getting hit by a bus", "fire at work" and "being robbed at home", but all three at the same time.
That, and many more problems. A good friend and our main developer committed suicide 5 years ago. With the ceremony, the emotional shock and many organizational problems, 1 month got by, the bank account got closed, the provider didn't get paid and deleted the whole VM on which our website was running. During this period, 2 disks died at his place on the Raid 5 NAS backup, and nobody noticed.
When people tell me I'm being overzealous with backups now, I tell them that worst-worst-case scenarios do happen sometimes.
Okay, it's getting a bit tiring. Maybe those problems are unsolved because they're f**ing hard? And saying that science is "one dimensional" tells more about your lack of knowledge than about science. Finally, guess what? You can find a lot of economics, business and art in mathematics alone.
Seems interesting and reasonable. How do you do this? With Ghostscript/NoScript/...? Does it work well? A lot of websites use 3rd party js plugins for map display for example.
I can't tell if you're trolling. Anyway: science can be arbitrarily hard. If you find science too easy, what about explaining gravity or the human brain? What about proving the Riemann hypothesis? What about curing cancer? What about explaining how life appeared?
I'm working for a project in southern Germany where we do just that. The grid operator pays 50% of any battery installed. It's only for one small village right now, and we hope it will grow.
If you want to limit it to just the Holocaust, then Goebbels was guilty of (at least) being a co-conspirator in the deaths of 12 million people. This includes 6 million Jews and 6 million other people (political prisoners, gypsies, etc.).
No, it usually does not. The typical definition of "Holocaust" is the genocide of 6 million Jews. Screw the other 5M+ people. They weren't chosen by god, and were just Gypsies or homos. Ask people about the Nazi genocide. Almost nobody knows/mentions the other half of the victims.
You're right, anyone in their right mind wouldn't fall for this scam. But I suppose that parents who lost their 2 year old kid after a long and painful illness aren't exactly in their right mind.
You know, much similar to the end of the world, or global warming will cause the earth to have no ice caps by 2000(said in early 70s and again in the 90s), or the arctic ocean will be free of ice by 2010(early 80s), or New York City will be like Ft. Lauderdale by 1995(said in late 60s).
Yeah, and smoking is supposedly bad for my health. I smoke 20 cigarettes/day, and I didn't die neither yesterday nor today.
Things are always changing an environmentally we (meaning the Earth) are a LOT better off now than we were back in the 60s/70s for example. Especially when the Soviets were in their heyday they were absolutely a massive force for destruction we probably will not see the like of again. The stuff going on these days is really pretty minimal in comparison, which is why some eco-groups try to drum up fear, because they care more about maintaining funding than they do the environment.
Citation needed. "The stuff going on these days" include global warming and peak oil. They're far from being "pretty minimal", and I'd even argue that mankind never faced bigger challenges.

Exactly. Our civilization is also "a nanosecond on the geologic clock."

Also, they could just swim to Hubble.

One more reason to use Mint.
That's the best they could do out of this situation.

Wait, what? It's not even wrong!
Well, I'm mostly a Ruby programmer. :D
So yes, Java and Python+Numpy are fast for me
Why not? Java can be almost C fast, and Python can also be really fast with e.g. Numpy.
Mint is not just for noobs.

Pardon my ignorance. What does it do?
This joke is just Hitlarious!
No but seriously, all these Nazi puns are out of mein kampfort zone.

Oklahoma-sized area, hectares, square miles?
For people using non-retarded units, this area is a bit smaller than 60 angstromkiloparsecs

You say "Observational evidence", I say "Our models are wrong".
