    So you're saying the IPCC changed their report to please their political masters? And you expect us to trust any of these people?

    Don't know about you but I have 20 digits and if I'm really careful I can count to 40 off them (closing one eye each time I get to 20).

    Seriously if you can't figure out how to burn paper completely or at least near enough you deserve to have someone reconstruct your sensitive papers. Granted there are lots of people who shouldn't be allowed to play w/ lighters, however these are also not the people you want taking care of sensitive information in the first place.

    I'm guessing he's at least half-troll, however he lacks in imagination and flair. Just doesn't pull the hate out of you like a real full-blooded troll working his mojo.

    Xerox sued because Apple made money off an idea they had thought to be worthless, however they had given permission making their suit untenable.

    I know I'm likely feeding a troll. A story or an idea can't be stolen, it can be kept secret or it can be shared.

    Or to actually be fair you could realize that Apple asked for and was given permission, thereby making your point invalid.

    While that might be true I did have a dog as a child who was sired by a full sized Doberman Pinscher and who's mother was a Daschaund. I was led to believe that the mating was rather hilarious, the dog in question ended up w/ Doberman colorings and mostly the same build as a Doberman (stockier) he was only slightly larger than the mother. In other words if the act itself didn't kill the female there's at least a chance the puppies wouldn't be too big for the mother to survive birthing.

  16. Re:C programmers? Wanted! on Age Bias In IT: the Reality Behind the Rumors · · Score: 1

    So you say they (Indian managers) are discriminating against people based on race and place of birth, but the guy who calls them out on it is being racist for doing so? Do you really not know what it means to be racist or bigoted means? That's as bad as a friend of mine once saying "I can't be racist, I'm black". Just because they're willing to tell you they're racist and bigots doesn't make it ok.

    What? It takes several. A Board of Directors, a CEO, a CFO, several more CxOs, some VPs, a Marketing Manager, his assistant, a middle manager and his assistant and then finally one guy who might be making 50k a year to actually do the work. Oh and a Janitor because there's no way any of those other guys are going to sweep floors and empty trash cans.

  23. Re:Not the cause. on Violent Games Credited With Reducing Crime Levels · · Score: 1

    Clearly you've never been involved in violence (as either a victim or a perpetrator). Hunting and camping skills have very little crossover to violent crime skills. I've never heard of or seen anyone using a rifle or bow at range to mug someone. Gutting and skinning a deer takes far more skill than waving a knife in someone's face and making demands. Most violent crimes only require the physical ability to wield a weapon and the determination to go through with it. Tools are just as easy to get now as then, most violent crimes perpetrated by children/young adults don't require hard to get weapons. Knives and baseball bats are extremely effective against unarmed victims.
