i believe the "teal" color of the original win95 desktop was related to ease on the eye, or something related to the palette (0,128,128 in RGB) or popular color at the time (similar used by SGI)
duh! ms won't abandon traditional desktop till win10. they must first embrace support for traditional apps, then extinguish them (ripping them off as much as possible for metro versions released by ms)
so what about them? do you think they indicate global warming isn't occurring? where do they say that (with any scientific credibility)? you and i probably wouldn't have the expertise to interpret said data even if we had access to it all.
the problem is that you have been told by someone (likely a moron journo) that the last 10 years of temperature records indicates that global warming isn't occurring, and you believed it. in reality you have absolutely no clue what temperature records indicate, because the amount of data that implies is enormous, and 10 years isn't likely even enough time to indicate anything about the global temperature trend any more than summer temperatures are generally warmer than winter ones. if you referred to the last 100 years of temperature records it would at least seem more convincing (even if i knew you were still a gullible slave to corporate mass media)
CO2 isn't more a pollutant than water
from Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution], "Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment, into the atmosphere."
...of course i didn't realize you were ignorant enough to need the definition of pollution pointed out to you.
co2 is a pollutant because it is released into the atmosphere as a product of combustion. water is also a product, but it isn't a pollutant.
if c02 were released deep underground (carbon capture), it would not be a pollutant because it isn't being released into the atmosphere.
What makes sense is to say that an excess of CO2 might be bad for the earth
so might an excess of ignorance
there's less and less consensus about it
amongst who exactly? a runaway greenhouse effect isn't exactly rocket science. morons argue that a volcano spits out more co2 than all of humanity like it makes everything ok. what they seem to be completely oblivious to is that if enough volcanos spew enough co2 into the atmosphere, it will be just as bad.
the whole point of the global warming debate was that humanity shouldn't be the cause of its own destruction; there has never been any argument that a runaway greenhouse effect couldn't occur naturally, in which case of course we could do little about it.
yeah, bigger organisms adapt to eating more of dead carcases, and then they adapt to getting fatter, and then they adapt to being subjected to scary spice on jenny craig ads
When do we stop chasing that ghost and get over it? Really...
when someone builds a coal fired power station next door to you, and you start getting rain that eats into paintwork, and when you experience heatwaves that can give you sunburn even with 30+ lotion on, and maybe when you stop taking for gospel what idiot journos like James Delingpole tell you with absolutely no counter-evidence
really... do you have any scientific evidence that the earth isn't undergoing global warming?
and no, saying that "CO2 isn't a pollutant" is neither evidence or scientific
of course its a pollutant because its a product of combustion, retards... just because it also happens to come from cow shit and volcanos doesn't mean its not a pollutant, and just because man isn't its only cause doesn't mean we should ignore industrial environmental impact
he's not criticizing microsoft! that must mean he's being paid by them
why would anyone in their right mind promote microsoft otherwise? anyone with enough brain cells to use slashdot wouldn't, so the deduction is obvious.
microsoft isn't a country so there's no point getting all patriotic about it (microsoft isn't even "american" since the US barely collects any taxes from it), and unless you're a major shareholder sipping martinis in the bahamas you're not going to get any favors for your promotion.
in most cases you're not even a customer of microsoft's (the OEM's are) so it isn't even required to give a toss about you.
would microsoft fanbois feel the same if there was no competition at all and microsoft could charge whatever it wanted for windows/office?
i only ask because that is its goal, so promotion of the company is promotion of its goal, and it is probably the only company convicted of pursuing that goal at the expense of all else
i've patented the ifart domain. of course there wasn't any so called "innovation", but what the hell does that have to do with patents anyway. in 10 years time i'm going to sue apple for all they're worth (probably fuck all in 10 years but here's hoping i get rich for doing fuck all... the new american dream).
they are on the hunt for more ways (other than the patriot act) to cripple their already unsustainable economy and drive intelligent people and companies away. this seems like a fairly natural progression.
makes me wonder what the endgame will be? the US seems like its determined to implode in on itself
not that i think the banks were innocent for a second, but the whole point of security is to prevent what this guy did, so he has gone beyond simply demonstrating a flaw. he's taken advantage of it in the same way as any criminal might. he may not personally empty the accounts, but he may as well have by publishing the means to access them.
yes the vulnerability already existed, but he merely took advantage of it like a criminal that security is intended to combat.
Now at least everyone knows that their data isn't safe, as opposed to before when there was an illusion of security
would you similarly argue that terrorists flying jet airliners into the WTC was a legitimate means to expose flaws in US intelligence?
would you light your house on fire to test your smoke alarm?
testing IT security by engaging in what it was designed to prevent is classic black hat behavior

nope. his nick isn't brick top
duh!
obviously they have tested 10 billion people
How would you test to see if [cows] are insane?
observe if they make humans look stupid
in ca, apparently this was the case
...and then there was bash
omg how did you know?!
its usually while i'm doing your mom and your sister
MSFT
are you a microsoft shareholder by any chance?
...given that "MSFT" is its NASDAQ code
otherwise, you have my sympathy for your apparent brain damage
sore loser
microsoft-bashing on dotslash is fun, and if someone makes a profit out of it, good for them
if you were making a profit from slashdot hits, would you complain about your own ethics?
think not
jealousy is bad too
Galaxy S3 is apparently quad, but not sure of release date but apparently may 3 launch

maybe microsoft and apple should team up against "googorola"
thn again, they'd never agree on "applesoft" or "microple"
actually, who cares, they'll all eventually be bought out by samsung anyway
