just because you ignore scientists on the other side, doesn't mean they don't exist. And any programmer that looked at the FORTRAN program in the ClimateGate zip file knows the truth.
yeah, well, then you have to "attack" global warming - because that's been a religion for some time.
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ivar Giaever:
"I am a skeptic - Global warming has become a new religion. I am Norwegian, should I really worry about a little bit of warming? I am unfortunately becoming an old man. We have heard many similar warnings about the acid rain 30 years ago and the ozone hole 10 years ago or deforestation but the humanity is still around. Global warming has become a new religion. We frequently hear about the number of scientists who support it. But the number is not important: only whether they are correct is important. We don't really know what the actual effect on the global temperature is. There are better ways to spend the money,"

The entire country was being run by Kim Davis? Are you sure about that?
What I see is a bunch of lefties who like to smash anyone who dares oppose them, for whatever reason. The couple that wanted their marriage license from Davis still got it. And they could've just gone to a different county, if they'd wanted. But for some reason you lefties just need to stomp anyone who dares oppose you and destroy them personally as an example for the rest of us. It's the fascist in you all.
the sheer amount of excuses you guys peddle to excuse Islam from being civilized is, frankly, amazing.
Any tiny amount of "christian hate" you find, is literally dwarfed by the thousands upon thousands of examples of muslim hate and fresh blood - if, that is, you cared enough to look.
Yeah....and if that's the ONLY example you can find....you've pretty much proved his point.
Besides...fun fact: look up when the minister of the church ran for public office years ago - as a Democrat. The party who, by the way, OWNS the KKK.
Seriously, what is the point? You're going to run...and resign...just to get your VP elected...? Which means that anyone voting for you, would have to vote for you, *knowing* that your VP was actually going to be president...and since they know that, they might as well just vote for them in the first place, right? I *used* to think Lessig was *kinda* smart; obviously he's a freakin' moron.
You still don't get it. The only reason there are racist stereotypes are because of Earth histories, Earth ideologies, and Earth racism. Even if you create an alien that has black skin, it doesn't make him "black" in any racial sense of the word. Just like if you make an alien that has different eyes, they aren't asian. YOU are the one bringing racial baggage to a freakin movie about imaginary aliens. To make people like you happy, we would have to sterilize every single aspect of the aliens we create in fiction. If we make them all blue, would that be better for your delicate sensibilities? No, it wouldn't...because then you would move away from their bodies, to their actions, to their "social class" - it never ends. As long as you continue to look for racism, you will always find it...and continue to drag all of society down your rabbit hole.
"In fact, it's the only tool legislators have after they've rooted out real corruption."
AFTER. After.
Is the author even suggesting we've rooted out all the real corruption, and that hypocrisy is now "acceptable"? Are we there, yet?
What these game theorists forget, is that in their "game", hypocrisy is only "acceptable", because it's in a "game" where the rules do not consider it a virtue...in a "game" where it's considered a virtue, it gets a lot worse for the average citizen.
There are no blacks or whites or even males or females in Star Wars...they're ALIENS. Those categories are completely irrelevant to a FICTIONAL universe populated with FICTIONAL aliens who have ZERO in common with any race or gender from Earth. Period. Anything else is not sci-fi, it's just leftist politics.
I live in Irving, TX...literally the epicenter of the quakes. They were nothing. I have a programmer I work with in L.A. who laughed at our 3.6...he said, "3.6? that wouldn't even make the news, here."
I'd also talked to two geologists who didn't seem concerned at all...in fact, they said it was a good thing. It was relieving stress across the faults...the last thing you wanted is the stress building up over years and becoming a 7.9.
If a few tremors is the price we pay for energy independence, and cheap gas to keep the economy afloat...it's all good.
just because *you* don't give a shit, doesn't mean no one else will. And Perl6 was written from the ground up to address all the shortcomings in Perl5, but all the current languages. It's essentially a brand new language, It also uses the Parrot interpreter to do a neat trick; you can mix languages. So Perl6 can use C, Python, etc natively.
Perl isn't going anywhere. In fact, installs and contributions to CPAN are up almost 1200% in the last 10 years. What's happened to Perl, is it's become ubiquitous...it's literally everywhere. It's not our fault you haven't noticed.
This is always going to happen from now on - as long as there will be an internet that is searched, there will be people "gaming the results". Much better to teach kids to find real information and identify it when they find it, then to have to worry about every little idiot out there with a theory.
Besides...all great truths, start out as heresies. You have to make room for the idiotic; the future may depend on it.
Look, I'm not religious at all...but you're standards of truth are just "rigged" for your side.
If scientists want to be taken seriously, they need to stop arguing the existence of a deity when 85% of the world's population believes in one.
If scientists want to be taken seriously in their opinions about God, they have to stop pretending that absence of evidence is evidence of absence.
If scientists want to be taken seriously, they have to stop worrying what stupid people think. You are not the jackass whisperers.
well, if any of you bothered to recall - this whole tactic was first employed by the American left to smear George Bush. And *now* you're all outraged? Girl, please!

oh no! [cue spooky music] the horror!

yeah, and cigarette smoke is the same as the global climate system [eye roll]

just because you don't remember, doesn't mean that we all don't remember, And if you need a reminder...just look at Venezuela.
Seriously, what is the point? You're going to run...and resign...just to get your VP elected...?

Oh please...we all know that this is going to be used to spy on us. Why are we cheering?
Just like you have the choice to ignore your prejudices and just enjoy good writing. But you can't do that, can you? that's sad.
This is awesome. Because as we all know, the secret to developing any great technology starts with an even distribution of melanin and genitalia.

PHP doesn't dominate; it's attached to WordPress. That's it. If WordPress had chosen any other language....

So? How could you not investigate without cooperation from the industry that you're investigating?
just because *you* don't give a shit, doesn't mean no one else will. And Perl6 was written from the ground up to address all the shortcomings in Perl5, but all the current languages. It's essentially a brand new language, It also uses the Parrot interpreter to do a neat trick; you can mix languages. So Perl6 can use C, Python, etc natively.
That's wonderful - you do realize that Perl is not a Microsoft product, and is free?
Perl isn't going anywhere. In fact, installs and contributions to CPAN are up almost 1200% in the last 10 years. What's happened to Perl, is it's become ubiquitous...it's literally everywhere. It's not our fault you haven't noticed.
Neither. Perl6 is completely different than Perl5. Perl6 is almost ready, and will probably co-exist for a while with Perl5.
