Yes, seriously, we need nuclear power. We need to facilitate off hours power with power caches. While I loathe that chump Musk I can't help but cheer him on when he does well. Beyond that we need to start replanting the forests we have lost because we really need wood for fires and buildings. I really can't understand how these worthless hippie bastards can't understand how important it is to replant what was lost to logging. Like they can come on here and bitch about chump or this or that, but will they plant one fucking tree? No, they wont fix these problems. All they can do is bitch... like a bitch.
Why can't they plant even one tree?!?!?!?!1
No, they get all crazy terrorist antifa and think that it somehow mitigates the problems they theorize that we face.
LOL says the anonymous idiot. How about you consider that I'm someone who is watching FOX news on a loop, fscking my cousin, cleaning a shotgun on a couch with no less than three hound dogs! Oh, and for that matter I think of you as a Birkenstock wearing, patchouli oil stinking, tree humping, Prius riding, mother earth humping, pot smoking worthless druggie degenerate douche bag, child abandoning, can't hold a job worthless ass human being who isn't worth ANYONES time.
Imagine, how much your opinion hurts me. I know, I know.... it will fry those last brain cells.... but imagine it little child.:)
There is where you are wrong. I am actually a scientist. Not that I work on anything having to do with climate or even weather, but I am a person who is both curious skeptical in nature. I may work in a different field, but I know baseless bullshit when I see it. I can also tell when predictions fall sort of reality over time. You don't even need a degree for that. It is something I would hope even you could understand, but I guess not. I want things proven. Many think like I do, but I can accept liberal cowards, like yourself, may disagree... and that is nice.
I really don't care what democrat voting "climate experts" feel on the matter. In fact a huge part of why I say anything is that I like to watch liberals squirm. Like voting for Trump. I hated the man, but watching the longest running tantrum play out has been a guilty pleasure of mine. To be honest there are things I would prefer he do just to avoid pollution, but torturing liberals is epic.:)
Like this... meaningless move by chump. It did very little, but the liberal butt hurt was EPIC!
But as xtronics said it is easier to get funding if you blame climate change rather than the fact that we really don't know all that much about the oceans as we think we do. There are so many factors involved in what shapes this world, and scientists often fail to consider that the problem is much more complex than an excess of carbon dioxide that should really be a boon to plant life. While I cannot say definitively that human caused climate change is false at least I don't pretend it is "settled science". To me there is no such thing as "settled science". Gravity in physics seems somewhat settled, but just recently an article pondered the possibility that our sense of physics could be controlled by a far more advanced race of being. Likely, no, but questioning our universe and the reality we hold true is the cornerstone of science.
Far too often science is politicized, and it is nothing new. In our history many suffered greatly for believing that earth was not the center of the universe. Fortunately the majority of climate change zealots aren't violent. To anyone who is concerned with decreasing the buildup of carbon dioxide; perhaps your time would be better spent planting and irrigating land then on slashdot being political.
How about six thousand people per year that die to texting?
We need cellphone control! Don't get all first amendment on me either! Your assault phone needs to be taken away from you because it is too dangerous for you you have. We tried to create laws to prevent these deaths, but they aren't working so... you get a flip phone sir!
Did you know that about six thousand people die every year because someone is texting while they drive.
Many of those people are women and children.
I think we need texting control.
I think that we can't just ask you to not text and drive. We did that, and sadly it has failed. We attempted to fine people heavily if they do, but that has failed as well. We could make it so that if your cellphone was in motion that the software would stop you. But much like firearms they can be modified. In truth we need to ban your assault phone. The smart "assault" phone is just too dangerous. We need to go back to a time where you had to repeatedly click the digit pad to get the letters you needed in hope that you will pull over. If that doesn't stop you maybe we need to ban the cellphone altogether.
Before you open your mouth about the first amendment I want you to think of the children. You are a menace and we need to think progressively. We really need a ban on cellphones because it isn't YOUR bad decision that causes 6000 deaths every year. After all... it is the cellphone that is the problem.
I find it funny people actually think that lies spread by media is something new. It is ancient, and while I don't exactly agree with you politically I can support an informed populous.
This seems to be running fast and loose with the requirements of experimentation. One really needs to prove a hypothesis otherwise the effort is somewhat incomplete. I can't disprove God exists, but to make the assumption that the entity does exist for this reason is lazy and dishonest.
What an incredible lack of integrity exhibited by these corporate failures. The truth is that they failed to put a priority on security spending and WE paid the price. I have no respect for anyone who cries "russian hackers" to cover up their complete lack of ownership with a bit of good ol scapegoating.
If only a pandemic would wipe them like a shit stain from the asshole of humanity. I really hope, if it does happen, it rids us of the worthless fucking Vegans. I really wish they didn't exist and it would be nice if some disease wiped those worthless beings from our world.
Did they line up a bunch of earths in a control group to prove that their climate conjecture is real?
Nope.... they are liberals... they have no concept of logic. No requirement of actually delivering scientific proof of their theory...
I mean... all you really have to say is that they are liberals and they don't really understand the concept of being able to reproduce a scientific proof. They are absolutely unconcerned with proving the garbage that comes from their worthless mouth.
Proof?!?!?!11 Liberals don't need to prove ANYTHING. Conjecture! Now THAT is liberal "science".
LOL
And then they wonder why conservatives don't respect them as intellectuals. Spoiler idiot... you aren't an intellectual. If you were we could actually solve the issues we face as humanity. Instead we find that all of a sudden they are using wood again to build things.
Didn't you just get shitty about us destroying forests?
Oh, that is right... you lack memory. Nope, lets do solar panels, but ignore the pollution that it took to create them in China.
Oh, lets use mirrors and a tower, but lets ignore the birds we kill.
Lets do some tidal shit... ignore the fish we kill.
Lets do some geo shit and pretend it doesn't change how the internal earth might persist.
Lets put up some wind vanes and ignore the birds that die.
Lets fission some shit and pretend it wont go sideways in practice nor go sideways in storage.
I know, lets pretend there is some solution to energey that doesn't fuck us, and because we are fucking idiots lets call ourselves "DEMOCRATS".
Honestly I cannot adequately convey how much I completely loathe HP as a company, but this is truly a tragedy to lose a huge part of human history to fire. As someone who had the first half of their life erased by fire I can sympathize greatly, but while my history mattered to no one, I have to wonder, why this was not better protected. I somewhat feel certain records should be retained indefinitely, and while the "personal papers" of these two individuals might drive me to vomit; the loss to the future cannot be measured in dollars when in time this media would have truly become priceless.
Let me get this straight; you feel that we shouldn't search for contraband as materials enter our country provided the potential smuggler is a US citizen? Did I just read you incorrectly? What exactly are you saying here?
How are license agreements going to go with these new users? You can't pretend they took the time to delve into that 100+ page document by clicking "I Agree" if you know they can't read. So then what is that going to look like? Are they going to make them watch a few hours of video explaining how they will be reselling the user's data? While they might just try to hide behind the same old agreements it make make court cases interesting.
Eve Online runs horribly on OSX. I wouldn't move anything of value through space, and particularly not performing a booster delivery to Jita. It is running via wine or cider. World of warcraft didn't push the graphics card very hard that I had over a decade ago. OSX runs Minecraft outstanding, but then again... not pushing very hard are we? Civilization looks great, sometimes laggy, but who cares as it is turn based. At home three out of four computers are Macs. I love macs. I write this to you as a developer at work on a Mac.
Still try to play a modern FPS game on it and pay attention to your frame rate. You aren't running in "extreme" graphics mode, and why? Because you would be playing through photographs. Want to upgrade? Sorry kid, buy this 5000$ entry level pro desktop wind cannon that can't have it's graphics upgraded. Two years from now you can buy a marginally better version of the same. I'm not saying Apple sucks. In fact they are my workstation of choice. They just need a desktop I can upgrade the graphics card on without paying the apple tax.
That is part of it. Offerings are pointless these days as there is no compelling reason to get a new computer. They aren't much faster than that of five years ago from a user perspective, and as you pointed out killall the common OS offering is dismal. Macs just keep humming along, and it isn't like they were high performance to begin with. If you are a OSX user you have become accustomed to crappy graphics and you aren't about to drop thousands upon thousands to get something a hair better only to never be able to upgrade your video. So, screw it. Get a set top game box for your gaming and hang on to your old system. It likely already does everything you need, and will likely continue to meet your needs for the foreseeable future.
"Not knowing the reason for their denial you assume the worst? What is more embarrassing is your virtue signaling without all the facts." - AC
I have to agree with AC here. We don't really know why they were denied and there are many good reasons they might have been. Perhaps even one of them might have been a security risk. It sounds silly to think of a bright young woman being such, but far younger impressionable minds have been manipulated into doing terrible things.
Since we do not know exactly why they were denied entry asserting such speculation as fact only serves to expose our own bias. The truth is that a trip to the US would only be the cherry on top. The real win for these young women is the education they are getting that may someday prove useful once we see an end to the persecution of women in their country of origin. What is truly heart breaking is that they might not see it in their lifetime.
Oh, awesome! Now perhaps real scientists who adhere to the scientific method can fill the vacuum of disgrace the climate conjecture cronies left behind. I honestly believe that we might be headed towards oblivion, but I really hate when funding promotes findings. Hopefully in the ashes we will see some real science. Perhaps It is a foolish hope, but I would love to see credible advances in how we might improve life on our planet.

He is an assault phone wielding baby killer... no need to attempt to rationalize with him. :P

No, trust and believe... even liberals aren't THAT stupid. The sarcasm is thick here in the land of slashdot.
Because despite the fact that you are over 18, and still a child; we have to allow you to drive. :)
