  1. Re:Isn't that anti-science? on Is Climate Change the New Evolution? · · Score: 1
    Yes, the scientific method does not involve a "consensus" view or polls of various claimed-to-be scientists.

    And when the climate change followers start to call for faith despite missing data, who is unscientific?

  2. Re:choosing between 2 parties on Ask Slashdot: Which Candidates For Geek Issues? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The two party-system is severely broken.

  3. Simple solution on Firefox 3.6 Support Ends April 2012 · · Score: 1
    Create a fork and cash in millions.

    Seriously, Mozilla has something like 30% marketshare and IIRC Google gave them 300 Million. So they only manage to gain 3% (= 1/10 of Firefox users) with a conservative stable version, then that would be 30 million. Surely that would be worth the trouble.

    Is nobody in the community smelling the money?

  4. The US is pretty much at war with Iran already on EU Moves To Ban Iran Crude Oil · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    The utterly corrupt Obama administration is not satisfied with wars in Uganda, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and wherever I currently don't remember.

    Obama has already made several steps towards war, and to say that the drone-campaign will continue is just the last step.

    People were furious about Bush lies to start the wars. Obama has found the solution! Just don't talk about it, the people at home don't seem to care.

    SOPA is just the latest "Change" that we got from Obama.

    Doesn't anybody find it strange that There are no protests against Obama's wars?

    Must not criticize this Nobel Peace Price winner, it would make quite a lot of people feel very stupid when they first treat him as the next messiah ("Jesus was also a community organizer", remember?) and then critizise him.

    Sure, as soon as "him" comes forward. Tell me, do you see any "hims" in the 2012 Presidential race so far?

    Well, CNN has publicly admitted that they want to kick out Ron Paul of the race.

    That's because he has a consistent voting record of voting against government growth and wars.

    Microsoft is basically telling their customers that they don't want their business.

  8. Firefox needs a new management on Google and Mozilla: Partners, Not Competitors · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    Firefox is really in a crisis because the Mozilla foundation is still living in the 90s, when everybody and his dog bought a new computer every 2 years.

    What we need is stability, we need less versions (preferrably one per year or even less than that).

  9. Re:Maybe we'll get lucky on Silverlight 5 Released · · Score: 1
    Actually, given Microsoft's statement that "We have no obligation to return data to you.", that's very lightly.

    They still behave like they had a monopoly. But that days are over. The tactics that worked 10 years ago are now hurting them. And they don't seem to realize it.

  10. Is global warming science or a religion? on Kyoto Protocol Renewal Efforts Struggling · · Score: 0

    When the "scientists" say that there is no evidence for warming, but we should believe in it anyway, I'd say it's a religion.

    After all, why worry when you know that global warming is good for world peace?

  13. Re:It's human nature. on IEA Warns of Irreversible Climate Change In 5 Years · · Score: 2, Interesting
    As a person who believes in "capitalistic" things like reason and science, I can only see how "global warming" is becoming a religion.

    Do you think that Obama is caring about what happens after the 2012 election? Does any politician except maybe Ron Paul? *Only* the capitalist part of our culture cares about the future because only the capitalist part can inherit it to their children. The socialist part (i.e. state) is taking up huge debts, causing huge ecological damage and in general does not really care much about anything beyound the next election. Why? Because why should a president solve a problem that will emerge when another president is in office? Nope.

    But don't worry, we will run out of oil anyway. Chances are, you are much more likely to freeze to death when the oil becomes too expensive for heating than anything about "climate change".

  14. Re:Occupy is the worst possible model to use on Could Crowd-Sourced Direct Democracy Work? · · Score: 1
    the "occupy" movement. First off, what do they stand for?

    Well, they stand for Obama, Bernanke and 99% of bankers, billionaires and politicians.

  16. The Trouble is that NASA has become a PR-outfit on NASA CTO Says Help Desks May Disappear · · Score: 1
    In pretty much every NASA press release I read buzzwords and phrases like "applications on earth", etc.

    Some pundits even argue that the Space Shuttle was only a wasteful form of space tourism. (I.e.: What is "payload specialist" and political science major Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud doing on the Space Shuttle?)

    Now, after the Space Shuttle is history and one probe after another gets cancelled, it's not even space tourism anymore, it's purely PR.

    Mozilla foundation has become crazy, maybe IceCat can become a full fork of Firefox?

    After reading this article I think maybe they want to destroy Firefox on purpose.

    Firefox is open-source, if debian/Icecat or someone else takes over, the problems can be fixed - and fixed easily.

    Firefox is pretty much a finished product (I don't care what Mozilla says) and we need at least one stable browser.
