Environmental pragmatism isn't a bad thing, and if you want to see people who favor that approach versus the straw-man of "taking us back to the 1700s", look to the plans proposed by, say, the union of concerned scientists.
Except it isn't a strawman by any stretch. Take a look at what the various heads of NGO environmental groups say, or their organizations and you quickly see that their policies and words are directly in line with that. Even here in Canada probably the most famous example would be David Suzuki. Quickly followed up by various anti-tree farming groups, and those against oil exploration/extraction.
Both might be true (although they were definitely white non-muslim people in there too) but as you know there is a difference between correlation and causation.
Well it's probably closer to true, especially when there are 751 no-go zones in France where not even the police, fire, or paramedics will enter without serious backup because the muslim, arab, and north african immigrants have made the areas unsafe, and their own enclaves from within. And it's gotten bad enough that they're now working to reclaim the areas by doing whatever is necessary.
It's also true, that in places like Denmark, and Norway there are now similar zones, and in Germany as well. This has to do of course from the massive influx of immigrants from the middle east. Not to forget about the UK, they're currently suffering from a literal plague of "Asian grooming gangs" Asian of course being the PC-codeword for muslim or arab. While the police, child services, and courts have for quite a while turned a blind eye to the entire issue. People aren't getting upset, without cause.
Dude its not a POV thing. The U.S. government does not assassinate reporters, or CIA leakers.
Nah, they just send the DOJ, IRS, EPA, ATF and so on after political critics, and harass them until they give up their little "view point." Or did you skip over the recent and on-going issue with the Obama administration targeting tea party groups and throwing every letter agency they can at them.
Again, it becomes he/said she said. Physical evidence means literally squat in terms of anything unless there's "more to it." Standard M/O is both parties are guilty in such a case.
That doesn't really mean much, it's a she said/he said incident. Though in reality with the way public opinion is, and the courts. He's automatically guilty and toast for life anyway. Welcome to the world where anything unsubstantiated can ruin your life in 10 seconds.
People shouting "Murdoch is evil..." and other companies are doing the same, sometimes worse. Oddly, I wonder how many people know that tabloid is the paper format, not what's printed.
Updated infrequently doesn't matter when you read it in huge chunks.
Here's the thing, the premise of drawing a crowd in order to sell something of yourself only works when you have it. No one is going to stick it out if you keep turning around and saying "well, it'll be available next time." Or "watch my amazing assistant as he fills in for me..." on whatever reason. Same reason why sinfest has recently started losing readership, people don't like the misandry that's been going on with the strip for the last few months.
There's a lot more going on besides food and currency. Mass corruption is the name of the game. The irony of course is they recently held a international "anti-corruption" gathering. Brazil is one small step, a very small step above China in terms of throwing money at someone to make "things" happen.
The whole "updated infrequently" was pretty much the only reason I stopped reading it. That was probably 5ish years ago, maybe 6 years ago. Though I did enjoy the comic itself.
You realize that in the majority of those cases where hunger is an issue, it's due to the government's itself right? He spent the last 15 years of his life trying to get Africa to catch up and get on board. Then again, I trust anything from the UN as about as much as I trust the Obama saying "they aren't spying on you.":)
Really in itself, his best statement is you can't improve government or society on human misery and suffering, in turn you can't change the world on an empty stomach.
People who suffer migraines especially photosensitive trigger types have similar problems. My old CRT at anything under 70Hz would cause serious problems including trips to the hospital. Loss of vision from a migraine is *not* fun. CFL's cause the same problem with me, took awhile before I figured that one out. A good quality monitor though(using a samsung syncmaster e2320 for the last few years), and I don't have problems with flatscreens now.
Well considering the general quality of networks, improperly secured routers, and secondary infection points via home networks and 'open disk' access that things like Windows love to do when you use that lovely auto-config tool. Chances of leaving a wide-open door, and letting them win are pretty good.
That the consequences are irreversible. You can't put the genie back in the bottle again.
You know people said the same thing about Norman Borlaug when he started messing with double rotations, plant genetics, and started the green revolution. Go back and read the magazine articles, news paper stories and watch the TV spots on it. And note how well that worked out, anyone else want to disagree he's one of the greatest humans of the 20th century? Didn't think so.
Really? Up here in Canadaland, the evidence required to get a warrant(aka R&PG and/or probable cause) require a chain of evidence when presented in court, because the defense must have full disclosure.
...or does that not apply to internet service providers?
In Canada it does, back a few years ago Rogers was involved in throttling everything, even though they said they weren't. Took the work of a few very determined people who brought it before the CRTC, and were told to stop or face fines. As a fun note, Rogers and Bell Canada were two of the greatest throttlers in the world back then.
Sure it's all fine and dandy, right up until the point where the algae becomes sentient, and then you are trapped in the basement with a 400 lb blob of algae looking at you as it's next meal.
Well we've all seen those before, that's what mutates and moves into public office.
Hah damned if that isn't true, though people in Southern Ontario have had a pretty decent spring, and looking okay into summer. My sister out in Grande Cache, AB has had 3 weeks of straight rain. Today was supposed to be sunny, instead it was overcast.
Well that would require Canadians to have the right to own property. We don't, nor is it enshrined in the charter up here. So, enjoy that sobering thought.
Or perhaps some minimum wage twitter support rep got confused and got corrected by the Director of Programming of Xbox.
Would that be anything like the guy a few months ago who leaked all that stuff about "has to be online, no resale of games, etc" who got canned, and then once the release details were out...well...what do you know, all of the info the guy "leaked" was correct.

Why are you ignoring the physical evidence?
Again, it becomes he/said she said. Physical evidence means literally squat in terms of anything unless there's "more to it." Standard M/O is both parties are guilty in such a case.
I actually remember when /. expected a low-medium in terms of grammar. Seems that reddit quality is just fine now...

It's the weekly bitcoin article, are we done with it yet? No? Damn it...

Except we already know that most US ISP's like many in Canada deploy or have deployed DPI boxes.

Except it's factually correct, nor is it a "silly remark" considering what MS is trying to pull.
Well that would require Canadians to have the right to own property. We don't, nor is it enshrined in the charter up here. So, enjoy that sobering thought.
So wait, retrospectively: factual statements = silly remarks. Gotcha.

Except a rep did say that, then they "clarified" their position. Sounds to me like they started taking flak for it, and changed their opinion. But the option, is still on the table.
