  1. Re:In before on Dialing Back the Alarm On Climate Change · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Like a tin-teardrop!

    My dear God in heaven! We can even predict Brownian motion and particle distribution in 20 cubic meters, with percentages and concentrations involved with this "modeling".

    Yet, with the introduction of additional variables, let us say n variables, which include surface interaction with seas, the presence of ice-sheets and glaciers, solar activity, volcanism, etcetera, ad infinitum... Somehow, a reliable and predictable model of planetary atmospheric climate - without prejudice or bias - is expected to be produced within the statistical expectations required to make policy decisions?

    I hate Koch Brother-sponsored "make me obscenely richer" propaganda, much as the next free-thinker does. But there is also a giant, Billionaire-fueled machine at setting the agenda for individual and collective behavior, based on making dramatic assertions about "Global Climate". If you don't believe it?

    Well, then Albert Gore has a bridge to sell you, and you've already made the first couple of payments - at the low, introductory "teaser" rate.

    This whole business is a war between old-school resource robber-barons, and new-global capital, which looks to establish cooperation on permanent rentier concessions. Both spend tens-of-millions shaping perception (insert standard Edward Bernays reference), in the form of "research science", think tanks and public policy forums. None of these players are charities...

    No definition provided.

    The concept of "ROCK STAR DEVELOPER" is a fiction invented by professional recruitment outsources. All developers are "Side Men" - even if some are in the "Musical Director" category.

    Fake debt, false concern.

    To WHOM is this debt owed? By whom?

    It is a macroeconomic fiction, perpetrated to manage large-scale social control, and to impose hierarchies of Elite governance, through feudal taxation models.

    You don't possess US Citizenship. You rent it, through various Federal taxes, and lose it through non-compliance with the collectors. Your supposed "citizenship" entitles you to no actual meaningful role in policy or governance, and is a dubious merit. Think of it as being a "Trustee" in the pen.

    No shit. Obama has no "Syria Plan". The Board of Directors hands him the script, and he dances. Same for the bitches in the rows on the Hill. I don't care if they are R or D or Martian. One party rule.

    The reason OEMs don't have to bring out RT tablets?

    Microscopic - actually sub-atomic customer demand. Microsoft wrote-off almost a BILLION USD on unsold tablets!

    So, an OEM would have to:
    A - Sell competing against Microsoft
    B - To non-existent buyers
    C - Profit!

  24. Just surveillance? My dear friend. You live in a security state. Surveillance is something that you seem to see as nearly harmless, and possibly an end in itself.

    Follow the trail from Anon to Occupy. Why is Barrett Brown in Jail, under gag order - where does this intersect with Snowden - and why is Michael Hastings dead?

    Hastings has been posthumously smeared several times, by "Major Press" - with a deliberate misrepresentation of the Coroner's forensic report on his death.
