Even if we are a thousand times faster than nature at abiogenesis, that still takes us somewhere in the neighborhood of a million years, while we haven't even known about DNA for even a full century yet. Just because you suck at doing that kind of math doesn't mean the world was created by a magic wizard worshiped by illiterate desert herders.
But this isn't an argument about WRITING a program, it's an argument about INSTALLING a program. You keep insisting that walled garden is a term primarily relative to programmers, which is a crock of shit you just made up.
"For any competent programmer" is a fucking barrier, you dolt. If that's six inches, how would you describe a one-click jailbreak, or a two page mod process for homebrew? A planck-length fence? Step outside of your own fucking head for a second, and stop defining things in your own, made up terms.
Yes, that's in biology textbooks, but that's not in any way related to evolution. Furthermore, you are erroneous in thinking that because we can do one difficult thing, we can do all difficult things. We can land a probe on a comet, but we can't cure the common cold. More importantly, humans haven't had a billion years to perform abiogenesis in a laboratory. And since we haven't observed it, there may be some essential element that we are missing.
Your problem is that you don't comprehend the ideas you are dismissing, at even a fundamental level. Thus, your arguments are just strawman after strawman, along with regurgitated Ken Ham-ish talking points.
The reason it would be like extortion is because they are using the threat to silence future actions. Now, I don't whether or not it meets the legal threshold, but it's creepy, for sure.
No, you dipshit, that's not what fiduciary responsibility entails. The way stockholders get rid of leadership that doesn't maximize profits is voting in new leadership. What executives can get in trouble for is embezzlement, cronyism, or otherwise treating the company as their personal piggybank.
That gif wasn't a threat of violence. There are plenty of actual threats of violence from Trump and his supporters, so whining about a dumb gif is crying wolf.
I think CNN's time would be better spent on things like making the obvious connection between bribes and policy than tracking down insulting memes on the internet. Even on the subject or racism, they'd be better of covering racist policing and the racial bias that is deeply ingrained in the war on drugs.
Even an evil clock is just twice a day. They don't want to be controlled by MPEG-LA and the like, and that competition benefits us all. Granted, it would be better if they were just against software patents.
Let's cut the abstraction bullshit. There are two main issues in education that this bill seeks to address: Teaching of evolution via natural selection, and climate change/the effects of fossil fuels on the environment. Removing those from the curriculum will not increase critical thinking, and it will not result in any morality. It will make the population more compliant as we destroy the environment (and damage our brains in the process) and send tons of money to countries that sponsor terrorism.
But even in your metaphor, proximity matters. If I have two shields, one strong against the Scylla and weak against the Charybdis, one strong against the Charybdis and weak against the Scylla, and I'm sailing pasting the Scylla, I would be a fool to not choose the shield strong against the Scylla, even though it is weak against the Charybdis, because the Charybdis is too far away to be a real concern.
Ultimately, I'd advise against using Windows altogether, but that's an entirely different conversation.
Yeah, that would be an effective way of combating Russia, but that doesn't make powerful people in this country rich, so I think you're missing the point.
No, you've got it completely backwards, as well as mixing up the various times the Dems go hacked. The Cyrillic characters were from the Guccifer 2.0 leaks, along with a commie hero username or something along those lines.
The Podesta emails were unaltered (and many were DKIM verified), but Sputnik inaccurately reported that an email excerpt from Eichenwald in an email sent by Blumenthal was written by Blumenthal herself, after which they deleted it. Then, American news outlets used that to claim that the emails themselves were altered, because that's way scarier than Russian sites missing a 'by' in an email and reporting sloppily.
This is in line with Russia's motives, but lying and blaming Russia is also in line with Ukraine's motives, particular if they are wanting US backing. This, neither claim should be trusted until we can see sufficient evidence.
Yeah, but he's a different kind of liar, which was slightly less disgusting to a portion of the population. Particularly, he told the truth on some issues, such as TPP. Had the Dems nominated Sanders, a lot of that appeal would have been gone.
I suppose traitor would be the closer answer. I'm opposed to my government because I give a shit about my country. I think we should release anything bad on Putin, Russian hackers should release anything bad on us, and rinse and repeat for every other country in the world. Then, we get plenty of sunshine, and the cockroaches scatter.
No, it's because an enemy of my enemy is slightly less of an enemy to me. That's why Snowden was safe in Russia. He is an enemy of the US government, and so is the Russian government.
Yeah, I can't win the argument unless I insist on the definition of walled garden being the one that the entire world does. I'm not saying that you aren't right about the exception, but you called it a fucking "six inches high" wall, when even for a programmer, it's a pain in the ass, meaning it's a walled garden. Therefore, no strawman, just your idiocy in insisting that the world use your ridiculous definition. Consoles are the epitome of a walled garden, and running homebrew apps is less work on most of the ones capable of software updates.

A more practical concern is that it would be difficult to sue CNN while keeping the troll's identity secret.

Owning CNN is a matter of wealth. Wealth has nothing to do with journalistic integrity, and if anything, there's an inverse correlation.
I think CNN's time would be better spent on things like making the obvious connection between bribes and policy than tracking down insulting memes on the internet. Even on the subject or racism, they'd be better of covering racist policing and the racial bias that is deeply ingrained in the war on drugs.
It was good for US corporations, but bad for US workers.

The problem is that this position isn't really about public input, it's about appeasing religious extremism and undermining scientific literacy.

So, how did Russia infiltrate the Clinton campaign and make them adopt the 'Pied Piper" strategy? is Clinton herself a Russian mole?

Because Putin's anti-virus would be the one most likely to not have NSA backdoors, which is what an American citizen should be concerned about.
Most people have more to fear from their own government than from Russia. Thus, a Russian backdoor is less of a concern than an American backdoor.
