"Think of it this way: global warming creates unusual high temperatures and low temperatures in different areas simultaneously in the same way that shaking a glass of water creates waves."
Hmm. Perhaps you can explain something to me. Allowing for the non-homogeneous distribution of elements throughout this planet, the large bodies of water (oceans), and the fact that only about half of the earth is actively being heated by the Sun at any given time, would the temperature across the globe not rise, in both historically lower and higher temperature areas? Perhaps not by the same magnitude, as different areas and their makeup would determine their ability to re-radiate heat, but would not most, if not all areas register an increase in temperature?
The only two ways, off the top of my head, that the Earth can deal with excess heat is by storing it, or re-radiating it. Do we know of any special perversions of this line of science, such that some natural mechanism could be activated whereby portions of the Earth suddenly (relatively speaking) begin storing energy much faster than they had previously, to allow for a localized decrease in temperature?
On the other hand, assuming programmers are grouped in with IT, it could be a bad thing. You'd want them to know what they're competing with, and to understand why a rival's product is so popular.
Apple didn't have the entrenched user base that MS, nor did it have the requirement to maintain backwards compatibility across several versions or the OS wouldn't sell.
Quite alright. If they try to add it to some bill, I'd ensure (through various means) that something they'd despise would be added as well. Like a cap on Congressman's salaries, or an accounting change that would require them to expense funds received from lobbyists. That bill will be dead.
But then that's the art of politics -> fighting over trivialities. The art of ruling is actually making a decision that people may not like, and the art of justice is ensuring it's a good one.
I believe there is a bar somewhere, that has a sign over the entrance, which states "the discussion of politics and religion are not permitted within."
Meh, the government was designed as a form of permanent gridlock (much like the Beltway surrounding it, I'm told). Apparently, the founding fathers didn't have much faith in the work of their successors, and worked to keep them from putting a 'fork in their own eye.'
Sadly, they may have been right. I find that very disturbing.
Nonsense. I enjoy the good Senator from Israel's presence, if only because it ensures that a portion of our elected leaders have a vague understanding where that country is located.
"Wolf's my congressman btw. If someone better wants to run I'd be all for it, but the ones who actually run against him are much worse."
And that's kind of the problem, isn't it? Are the people running for office the best ones that this country has to offer? I mean, what if that were true, that that's really the best we can do. That's something to tell your kids if you want them to have nightmares for the rest of their lives.
Indeed. F451 was a particularly sad book; even those who wanted to preserve the various writings they encountered burned them for their safety (after having memorized them).

And we already know why.

In clarification, I was referencing the markets that Apple is dominating in.
I see that point.

Well put. Mod up.
Apple didn't have the entrenched user base that MS, nor did it have the requirement to maintain backwards compatibility across several versions or the OS wouldn't sell.
Attach something unpalatable to the main bill. Problem solved.
And nothing of value was lost.
I have nothing but a facepalm for this news.

Your parents, or alternatively, your kids.

Hmm. I'm a libertarian, and based off of what you've said, I'd probably vote for you.
*facepalms* This can't be good. ^_^
And I've watched Japanese anime filled with all sorts of what would be considered violence and sexual perversion.
As a result, I am more prone, than in time's past, to take a quiet moment of reflection before condemning someone.

No. At the last meeting, we agreed that they need to wear suits with patches from their various sponsors, like NASCAR drivers.
Causality and correlation.
Only when you find out that the 'banker' has been sneaking 500s when your eyes are averted. Sad to find out this game, in this area, mimics life.

The party of purple does what it can.
Let them. We'll keep the secret of the elixir as such until the last of them is gone.
