To suggest geo-engineering in response to climate change is like proposing trying to shoot cancer out of your body with a gun, it might work but you're far more likely to cause more problems than you solve.
The point is there are abundant solutions, but your mind is so closed you try to shut them all down. How much willpower would it take to say "Two years from now the sale of any product that is not 100% recyclable is banned"? How quickly do you think factories would retool if adequately motivated?
Laziness and greed isn't an impediment, the only things that should stop us trying to do our best by the planet are the laws of physics.
I think you should look at a map if you think the capital cities of Europe as close together as the five boroughs of New York, that's a Texas sized display of ignorance.
What a lot of disingenous nonsense, any attempted action of this kind could easily be countered with import taxes, the entire framework for doing so is already in place.
So called "renewables" also produce plenty of pollution and come with associated dangers. Ironically wind and solar can turn out to have a bigger "carbon footprint" than fossil fuel plants. Once all applicable factors are considered.
Thanks for this interesting tidbit and all the accompanying referenc... Oh wait, you didn't just make that up as it confirms your preconceptions did you?
I imagine that works great when you're trying to play your copy of Jonathon Coulter's greatest hits, some people have music collections that actually need some kind of management.
Excessive attempts to excercise self-defense can easily escalate. You were shouting in my face so I pushed you, you pushed me so I hit you, you hit me so I shot you. All self defence?

Not sure about safety, surely the risks from being even less visible on the road are quite high.
Went to a good university? Must be a librul.
Seems like my body has been deteriorating all my life so I might as well keep smoking crystal meth and injecting heroin, makes no difference anyway?
Oh well, ganjadude says it takes decades the world better sit up and take notice, I'm sure he's a fount of knowledge and efficiency.

What's anti-human is trying to say that you don't care what kind of polluted shit-hole you leave behind you as long as it doesn't cost you anything.

Yes, thank the lord one never sees any narcissism here on /., the home of internet humility.
Then why would you need or want a card?

Well, it's not impossible that they see value in being able to blame Google for the failure of Windows phone.
That's why no-one ever gets shot in America?
Tell it to Trayvon.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with the meaning of the word "headline", especially in relation to /. articles.
I've never had any luck getting GPSoE (GPS over Ethernet) working, can someone point me to a good driver?
Read your ORIGINAL comment.
The implication of your comment was that the fact that it took a lot of effort to open up was what made it well designed or thought out.
Your supposed counter proposal doesn't really seem to mention remuneration. Have you just enslaved all humanity? Who provides the insurance?
Would you be as quick to show the video evidence if it proved you were at fault?
I use 8 at home and 7 at work and many time I am at work missing a feature I have at home with 8.
Is it being able to log in to /.?
No, that's the experience I currently have with Windows 7 on my HTPC when it's playing windows games rather than being in Linux.
