    Which is exactly why cellulose is better than coal. You really should reread that, as it says nothing about coal, but about cellulose fuels.

    If the Carbon was pulled out of the atmosphere less than a million years ago (as in the freaking plants grew, then we converted them to fuels), than it is Carbon neutral. This is a fact. You are the only one bringing up coal and the carbonaceous period, which is clearly outside of the less than a million years ago figure that HornWumpus is typing about.

    That comment was in response to your comment that cellulose to fuel wouldn't work. HornWumpus never actually said anything about coal, but about cellulose to fuel, which is an option to power cars, not coal power plants. If gasoline is replaced by biofuels, it removes a large source of Carbon going into the atmosphere.

    This is the first comment in the string:

    Which says nothing about coal, but says that cellulose to fuel would allow useful work to be done with the extra plant matter that is now instead allowed to decompose.

    (which caused this tragedy)

    This is the assertion you made. I am pointing out that this is not an accurate statement. Global warming may have contributed some, but it was not the cause. The cause was a normal atmospheric phenomenon of hurricanes that has happened for longer than man has been around.

    Are you sure about that?

    In the revolutionary war, many of the cannon and most of the rifles were privately owned. The military of the day actually had worse guns than the militias.

    The intent according to the most recent second amendment case that came before the supreme court was that private citizens should not be restricted from owning any arm used by the military. I am not sure how they made the jump from that to that it was ok to restrict automatic firearms and short barreled shotguns, but that was the way it was put in the majority decision.

    I have a hint for you, the militia consists of every man between 17 and 45.

    Also, no, the second amendment does not give the right just for the militia, it gives the right to all men (I am assuming human, but wouldn't be surprised if it was only males), with the reason being to be able to form a militia on need.

    Perhaps before quoting amendment numbers, it might do to look up the amendment you are referring to.

    You say fourth, but it appears you might be railing against the fifth. The fourth amendment covers illegal search and seizure. The fifth covers locking people up without due process. Now, the government has done exactly nothing to destroy the fourth, except to people who can't read English sentences.

    The actual court order did not compel Apple to do anything for free, and offered one possible way for them to do it, but also left Apple open to suggest another method. It asked Apple to do an estimate of how much they wanted to be paid, and the way they wanted to do it, to be approved by the FBI.

Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.

    See, the key thing you are missing is that flagship =/= all phones. There will always be ways to get what you want. You are comparing all phones that a manufacturer makes to 2 or 3 of their phones. Samsung makes much more than the S7 and Note 7.

    Why would they suddenly reduce their selection to kill off a port that is very popular? You seem to be equating the Apple way with every other company, when it is rather obtuse to do so. No, Apple doesn't lead the industry, they are routinely 1-2 years behind the rest of the industry. Removing the analog port is a money grab and nothing else. You can keep denying it all you like, but it doesn't change the facts around it.

    Did you even bother to read TFA? This is all Wild Ass Speculation (tm), not actual fact, or even an announcement. You are taking rumor as fact, nothing says that Samsung will sell 0 phones in 5 years with a headphone port, and in fact that would be absurd to expect to happen.
