"alleged pause"? I don't think that anybody is seriously questioning that there has been a "pause" in the rising global temperature observations. In fact it looks as though that is what will even appear in the IPCC report:
"Yet the leaked report makes the extraordinary concession that over the past 15 years, recorded world temperatures have increased at only a quarter of the rate of IPCC claimed when it published its last assessment in 2007. Back then, it said observed warming over the 15 years from 1990-2005 had taken place at a rate of 0.2C per decade, and it predicted this would continue for the following 20 years, on the basis of forecasts made by computer climate models. But the new report says the observed warming over the more recent 15 years to 2012 was just 0.05C per decade - below almost all computer predictions."

"Which is why civilised people don't torture and kill."
1. Tell it to the US military and every US voter, congressman etc.. (Abu Graib, Guantanamo etc..) 2. It is a very civilised thing to torture and kill the rapist and murderer of a 22yo pregnant woman, it would be INSANE not to.
McGuire was convicted in 1994 of the rape and murder of 22-year-old Joy Stewart, who was seven months pregnant.
You know what, there is a very easy way to avoid being executed in the US, for a start, and it is just a f*cking suggestion: DON'T RAPE AND MURDER A 22YO PREGNANT WOMAN.
Well, the IPCC models were supposed to tell us by how much we could expect the temperature to rise due to increased CO2. They had huge funding and plenty of time and resources. The answer they came up with was higher than has been observed.
Are you saying that it is because they forgot to take account of the ocean heat absorption? That if they had taken account of it then they would have got a lower, more realistic, climate sensitivity?
It shows exactly how much disrepect that MS has for its customers. they could not care any less about the "User Experience". Anybody requiring further evidence need only look at the feedback on Windows "Peice of Shit" 8.
This is not "racial discrimination". Whenever anybody thinks about what to offer somebody else they will consider what is the lowest figure they can get away with. That is their job. If he does not do that then he should be sued for being an incompetent negotiator.
In this case he thought, reasonably, that he could get away with $50K because the guy was coming from India where $50K is *a lot* of money, not to mention that he gets his foot in the door in a 1st world country and the clock starts ticking before he can bring his family and become a citizen. THAT IS EVEN MORE VALUABLE THAN THE $10k AT STAKE.
So what we are saying here is that we expect our managers to offer everybody to same salary. Well then it cuts both ways. No more negotiation. Just set scales like in the lower ranks of government.
You know what you will end up with? NORTH KOREA.
What is despicable is that they are hiring foreigners rather than investing in their own people. Sowing the seeds of their own destruction.
If they continue with the frigging Metro, Tile Screen, Charms Bar bullshit, then there could be a spike in the suicide or "heart attack from screaming at your computer" rate within the IT industry.
You know what they should do? They should watch a bunch of users who are not geeks trying to use Windows 8 and they ask themselves the natural question: "WHY THE FUCK DID WE DO THAT! WINDOWS 7 WORKED. EVEN A GRANNY COULD USE IT!".
You just have to choose the statistic which gives you the answer that you want and always insist that your opponents are using the wrong numbers or do not possess the understanding of statistics to hold an opinion. In the end the guy who shouts the loudest will win the day. We see it every day in the Climate Debate, which of course does not exist because "the debate is over!". [/semi-sarc]
"What are the books that everyone should read? I don't care if it's been banned by schools, burned by communists, or illuminated by 15th century monks. If you think everyone around you should read it, I'd love to know about it."

Surely they do not have the authority to destroy, rather than confiscate, private property?
Well, Obomber has probably given them immunity from everything in some executive order somewhere. Travelling these days has been made completely sh1t by the government (aka the companies who make huge profits from the airport security theatre).
Typing a long document or email is difficult on a touch screen and voice recognition does not really work despite the hype. There is only so much productive work one can achieve using the Windows 8 Tile Screen!

How long would the current pause have to last for you to change your mind?
You still see the "blue screen of death" on ATM's occasionally. I would swear that some of them are running Windows 95.

From the standpoint of avoiding this c*nt from suffering and all that other liberal BS, would he suffer less if he was just shot through the head?
Also would it be better to do it immediately after his conviction to avoid prolonging his anguish?

What about 1 day before being born?

Advertising is cool. Adblock is cool. Adblock-blocker is cool. But then they will just make the Adblock-blocker-blocker.
The best advertising is embedded advertising - like when Dexter always sits behind a Mac. It is probably less easy to block too.

The fact that they are upgrading to 7 just goes to show what a complete piece of crap Windows 8 is.
