Before I agree with you could you clarify in what respect are they parallel? In the case of vaccines we have parents that chose to believe the word of fringe scientists and pop celebrities over the word of the scientific and medical establishment. Even thought their premier study has been shown to be a fraud I don't think it will change their minds.
Coal is cheap, coal plants are cheap. I'd like us to spend more time and money reducing the harmful aspects of coal power than scrapping it for a much more expensive nuclear option. I'm not against nuclear power, I just think coal will turn out to be more cost effective even after cleaning up the mine waste, sequestering the carbon and recapturing the mercury.
I've tried 3 major brands of wireless card (Belkin, D-Link and Linksys) and downloaded various releases of Ubuntu over a period of 2 years and have yet to get wireless networking to work reliably. I don't remember how many times I tried or the hours I spent, but each time they worked flawlessly in XP on the same hardware. Maybe Ubuntu can work if you have the right hardware, but I haven't found the right combination yet.

So man and donkey are the same species?
Another thing they do is set up straw man arguments.
I thought that the oceans and atmosphere and land mass formed a complex system with many feed back loops. My bad.
I'm not following you. Could you put in terms of either the Star Trek or Buffy universe? I don't have a car.
And the technical skills to make a video and publish it.
You're in the right line of work.
I think AT&T has service in hell. At least that's where their customer service is located.
Anyway, that's what Wikipedia says. Just give me 10 minutes before you check it.
The only time I care about the font is while viewing ASCII-porn.

It only captures events that actually occur, so no it won't because it will never happen.

If what you describe were a movie, I pay to see it.
We wouldn't even have to use expensive and lazy American hamsters. With the virtual interface we could use offshore hamsters from India or China.
That's why this happened to a 12 year old girl. By the time their 12, boys have already developed calluses in their palms.
