The brilliance of "climate change" is that the possibility range of "change" is kinda infinite.
In one stroke you can bin everyone who'd gainsay you in any way with Flat Earthers.
That there is some nifty rhetorical kneecapping. Bravo.
The couplet: "If those busy 'crisis' hatching
Could but show some action matching"
is an allusion to Instapundit's "I'll believe it's a crisis when those telling me it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis."
When you say Global Warming,
The critics are a-swarming,
For scientists, they too need a vig.
And if you are a-doubting,
There will follow some loud shouting,
Delivered by some cat called ManBearPig.
But if we're not a-fooling,
And we truly need some schooling,
They could use a little polish on the thesis.
If those busy 'crisis' hatching
Could but show some action matching
Their results might not have the waft of feces.
GPL is for the heart, BSD the mind, proprietary for the wallet.
Kind of like bass, drums and guitar in your favorite 3-piece.
You get better sound with all of them, for all the players may be great soloists in their own right.
How's that?
I'm still on my Galaxy IIS. An upgrade would be swell, but do I really NEED such? Not really, and I, for one, have shifted from a "want" economy to a "need" economy. One of the few ways you can easily stick it to The Man (or at least the IRS) these days is put the spare loot against standing debt, and not new gadgets.
Not only do the various licensing schemes for code, from open to proprietary, reflect the spectrum of human motives for coding (duh),
the sum is greater than the parts.
That is, we're better off with choices amongst the groupings of ScrewYou, BSD and GPL offerings in every category.
Licenses are merely another dimension of competition, and we see that played out in lower costs and improved capability.
Our chief challenge is to avoid implementing Big Brother HAL Skynet.
Wow, your A/C refutation did. ..nothing. Chiefly because, while not precise (the video is, after all, an analogy) it works. And well. Phoning in a 'straw man' accusation is unimpressive.
We're talking about the NYT and Tom Friedman

No, I am not sure. I'm also unsure that these numbers actually point to any sort of bias. They are numbers.
What I want is a statute of limitations, where, after X decades of not expressing any covert or overt bias, we confess that the bias is supplied on the part of those claiming to observe the bias.
The two unite at the point where a bunch of pencil-neck bureaucrats appoint themselves to do your thinking for you, rather than face the truth that you will drink in education much as you would coffee.
My question, very much in general, and not to troll, is: at what point people just get to do what they fancy?
If you treat education like a cup of coffee, you might be more pleased with the results.

I bitterly regret my outburst of Making You Think.
"It's that fool on television getting paid to play the fool."
There are plenty of independent journalists doing real reporting: Michael Totten and Michael Yon are two.

Seriously, extreme claims require evidence.
Friedman speaks ex cathedra.
The distro that doesn't need YOU to tell it how to rock.
A lot of kids are told from very early they can not do these jobs.
By whom? In what way?
But are taught that they can not achieve what they fancy.
Would an alternative solution be to load-shed this generally useless education system, and opt for more home schooling, then? Discuss.
People are too stupid to know what they need.
So say those who are quick to supply a train wreck of a bureaucratic solution. Bureaucrats are the eternal solution in search of a problem.

Let it go. Just use pure XML plus XSLT to get everything done.
In your mind. No binaries. Just think it into being.
You'll just have to switch over to XML.
It's all moonshine these days.
