Could you provide us with falsifiable predictions that global warming theorists have made?
Specifically, predictions which are measurable, have come true, are based on the underlying science, and aren't intuitive.
Something like "given x amount of C02 and y amount of sun activity the global mean temp will be z over this period of time."
I honestly haven't seen that. Until I do, I will continue to remain skeptical about the underlying science. There are way too many variables involved for me to have confidence that the scientific community has reached a definitive and correct answer.
Somewhere in the last few hundred years, the myth was started that people back in the day thought the Earth was flat. It was designed to make religious people appear ignorant.
I don't think anyone claimed that OS X was or would be going forward perfect. That doesn't mean that it is not well ahead of Windows in terms of a secure design.
Like anything there is probably a variety of causes. Lawyers & lawsuits. Regulations. Lack of political and public will. Cost due to distances and size of country. Expectations.
People aren't taking into account all the factors of Microsoft's market situation. And then they are trying to understand why to comparable things aren't both wrong.
When times were good, state governments spent and spent and spent. Spending cuts are painful, politically and otherwise, so they need to raise more revenue.
Unlike the federal government, they can't borrow without reasonable limit or fire up the printing presses. But also unlike the federal government, it is easier to move to another part of the country than outside the country itself.
So they'll try to tax things like downloads as opposed to a general hike on income taxes, which are already high in NY State (correct me if I'm wrong).
Given that search capability, I'd doubt the dog would be able to find its way into the front door. Even if it was open and you were pushing him through.
They work when the vast population takes them, since the disease won't be easily spread. But if there is a large portion of the population that isn't immunized, a lot of children with immunizations will get sick.

What if the doctor said it would bankrupt your family for generations to fix the problem? You may want to ask for a MRI.

I really don't associate really nice GUI and Unix, so I don't consider it very Unix'y.
But that's one of the reasons I wanted a Mac. Unix plus a nice GUI.
I don't care how many universes there are. In each and every one of them, Fox is canceling SciFi shows I like.
More like a crazy glue point.

So why do you assume those rules are going to stay consistent into the future?

At the most basic level, you cannot see causation (see David Hume). Correlation does not mean causation, but correlation is all we have to go on.
Sometimes causation is a correct description of the relationship. Sometimes it is not.
They differ, except when they don't differ. It makes no predictions.
Why is this remarkable? This is what Darwinism or even neo-Darwinism predicts: survivors survive.
There, that's it.
The Bjork comment in that article is fantastic.
When I worked for a defense contractor, I always dreamed of being the single point of failure for something very important and leaving the company.
Charge an extremely high hourly rate retired folks. Repair your 401K!

Spoken like a true Masshole.

Am I right or am I right? I'm right.
Please name names.
Businesses and lawyers are concerned about CYA maneuvers. You are concerned about efficiency.
No one got fired because there were too many licenses.

"In its broadest sense includes everything that is used to determine or demonstrate the truth of an assertion."
Yeah, I think I happened to figure that one out.
They work when the vast population takes them, since the disease won't be easily spread. But if there is a large portion of the population that isn't immunized, a lot of children with immunizations will get sick.
I forget the term for this, if there is a term.
Yeah, and I can't convince people that God is real, even though the evidence supports it.
We can all play that game.
There is usually a difference between and -ism.
Just because you do something communally or socially doesn't make you a socialist. That requires coercion.
