The point is that it's moot to calculate the exact amount of degrees that it gets hotter if even the lowest estimate is enough to ensure we're fucked. That's what the analogy of frying with 200 or 220 was pointing to, in the end you don't care about 20 degrees more if the lower one is already plenty to achieve the result.
How dense can a person be that this needs to be explained?
True. But the noise-to-signal ratio was still WAY better than what we have today. Old-school news were actually news, later it was replaced with opinion pieces, until today that's pretty much all that's left.
And the old folks are still used to actually getting news when watching news.
It's also what the whole mess looks like to the rest of the world. Seriously, the US look more and more like they put Donald Duck in command of the Titanic.
Trump is like a spoiled kid throwing a tantrum because he doesn't get the toy he wanted. What this buffoon needs is a good spanking.
Why do you think a drug cartel works any different than the average corporation? Having a budget of millions just for brib... political donations don't mean that you waste more than a dime on the guy running your IT.
Odd. I thought you'd orient yourself to be at the pinnacle and spearhead of human development. Of course, if you prefer to compare your country to the likes of Somalia and Bangladesh instead of Sweden and Germany, you're doing really well, I agree.
Personal responsibility is a good thing if, and only if, the people actually have a chance to better their lot. This was true in the US for the longest time, but in the past 20 years or so, I don't really see that opportunity anymore.
Ya know, when I was young, the US was THE country. Anything and everything came there first. If you wanted to know where the world is heading, look over there. Anything you'll have in 10 years, they already do.
Today it's more something we look at if we need to feel better about ourselves, since, well, we might not be doing too well anymore, but at least we're not the US.
"Alternative" quackery needn't be expensive. You can make a shitload of money by selling bleach, just sell a few milliliters for 10s of dollars (where you buy a few gallons for 5 bucks) and you're set.
You don't have to sell for a lot if you can sell a lot. All that matters is that you yourself pay pennies for what you sell for dollars.

Only in a communist system, the government controls the economy.
Luckily we're in a capitalist system where everything is exactly the opposite.

Because the story is like 5 hours old? When was the last time you read anything on /. that wasn't at least a day or two old?
So you were told that it's a great honor that you are allowed to do your work.
Yup, I believe you that you're in a convent, story checks out.

So the ridiculous bullshit is off the table and they now actually have a border security idea that could work?

Your biggest security problem is always the human factor.
This is why you keep the wife and kids of your sysadmin in a safe place.

So we have reached level 4 already?
No, we usually call this an analogy. Look it up.
If you're a bottom that might be great, but I prefer screwing to being screwed.
So this is where Trump got the idea from that he could make someone pay for something he neither owns nor benefits him?
Oh, so it's a bit like "Value edition"?
This is wrong at multiple levels. If it transmits anything back to FB then that is a violation.
Here's a ... oh, you already have a phone. Call someone who cares.
You really think FB gives a shit about "violating" someone's rights?
Oh c'mon, it's way easier to reduce men to the important bits than women. I'm fairly sure dildos are older and easier to produce than fake pussies.
Don't ask me, I don't do that dating thing. But I do know that a lot of people do. No, I don't get that either.
Why? Can't your god do his dirty work himself?
Omnipotent, my ass.
You forgot to raise your pinky to the mouth.

Yeah, the US ain't what they used to be.

I hope it wasn't someone who one would usually take serious when they say bullshit like that.
I must have missed that being part of the unalienable rights part in the declaration of independence.
