I bet the Aztecs said the same thing as they slaughtered their sacrificial victims. Gotta keep the gods happy so that we can get some rain y'know!
Look, AGW isn't going to do squat to the species. Big floods, big droughts, temperature changes, deserts etc. are not going to wipe out the species. Not even close. +/- 5 degrees even 10 degrees won't even be noticed by the species. A couple cities on the coast may end up abandoned, but that has happened many times before and meanwhile the rest of the human race will carry on without even noticing or caring just like you don't even think about ancient cities like Babylon that have gone with the wind.
You get all sanctimonious about caring about human life-- like you just did-- and in the same breath are so callous about slaughtering people for simply believing differently than you do. What a perfect proof that you are only in it for virtue signalling, for self-aggrandizement, for cool-points, or for pure psychopathy.
... the net long term effects on society as a whole have historically always been an increase in the standard of living for those on the lowest rungs of the earnings ladder.
Please prove that this increase in standard of living is due to the increase of minimum wage and not some other factor(s).

For now.
I, for one, will be considering very carefully AMD cards and open source drivers for my next GPU upgrade (I use Linux) and I will fully explain why to my wife, my brother, and all my friends and co-workers.
The test is whether Musk would be willing to pay a significantly higher corporation tax to fund the basic income.
I'm currently reading Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson and it seems clear to me that Musk has no intention of paying higher corp taxes to fund the UBI: he and his crowd are planning on moving to Mars and leaving the unwashed masses behind.
I say something when it happens in the US because I'm broadcasting the fact that my anger and/or disgust on that issue has incremented.
My disdain and disgust for the totalitarian regime in China is already maxed out so there's no way to increment and therefore no need to broadcast.
Censorship, by the way, is the very least of the Chinese regime's crimes against humanity.
Even Donald Trump admitted in a recent debate that over 2 million people had been deported during the Obama administration.
It may hurt your narrative, but it is a fact.
That does hurt my "narrative", but it does not defeat it because there's over 11 million illegal immigrants in the country right now. Deporting two million is a nice start. But Obama has had eight years to get the job done and he has not. It's not even something he needs congress' cooperation for-- it's his JOB to enforce the LAW.
That'll be correct, if you go to an oncologist, very often they are assuring people that their tumor is non-malignant and treated with minimal intervention. Believe it or not, your analogy backfired.
I didn't say "tumor" I said "a little cancer". Also, let's see how you react when someone tells you that you've got cancer.
Really, some of the treatments for cancer are very invasive, nobody wants to put a person through them, they can easily be worse than the disease.
Patently false. Cancer will kill you. Successfully treating it will save you. Your logic would say that using a known attack on a cryptographic algorithm would take longer than brute forcing it-- which is wrong by definition.
That's two fumbles from you in a row. You may want to sit down and think things over a bit.
Arrogance and condescension from an AC? Hi there, ClickOnThis.
1. Seriously? You left Linux because of some trolls going on about systemd? Do you realize that you just explained that you don't think for yourself? Why would you admit something so embarrassing about yourself?
2. Why did you get upset at Gnome 3? Just install a different desktop. Did you know that you can install any desktop you want on practically any distro you want? You don't have to use Unity on Ubuntu. You don't have to use Gnome on Fedora. Now I'm starting to doubt that you actually used Linux at all.
3. You didn't like what all the trolls said about SystemD so you went to W7?! That makes no sense! If you hate how systemd is "un-unix" or "bloated" or "designed by fascists" or "coded by sjws" why would you go to W7 which is much much worse?!
That is on top of the already skyrocketing home costs of over 10% per year. Great time to have already been a property owner, terrible time to buy.
Texas has property taxes. So rising property values suck for everyone who isn't a current property owner whose property value has increased and also is trying to sell.
Oh it's also pretty great for the government that gets an increase in tax revenue without having contributed any input to help make it happen.
If you're just trying to pay down a mortgage, live your life, and build up your little empire of dirt then I suggest you go live somewhere that the government doesn't know you exist and can't steal part of everything you earn... oh, right, there's no such place on the planet. You're forced to pay the protection racket and that's all there is to it.
Yes because any old blog article, or rambling by a famous person, or FUD from a "research institute" that has "100% pure science (not from concentrate)" stamped on it is totally and absolutely perfect Truth, right? How could anyone, you know, doubt Science? HAVE FAITH IN THE 92% OF SCIENTISTS WHO AGREE! REPENT OF THY EVIL CO2 EMISSIONS! BUY CARBON CREDITS AND ALL SHALL BE FORGIVEN!
Isn't skepticism the very vital essence of science?
Slashdot Mirror
That's why they canceled it.
[NASA] also spins off a lot of technology, [velcro] for instance.
Really? None of that would have been invented without [building insanely expensive one-use rockets to go to planets that we can never use]?
or how about:
[The government] also spins off a lot of technology, [computers] for instance.
Really? None of that would have been invented without [spending insane amounts on free handouts for people that don't contribute]?
It's totally true: we could get there in much more efficient ways without the waste of government.
This is over the future of the species.
What an amazingly self-righteous thing to say.

What's so awesome about this post is that it's exactly what Sauron would have written.
Have you looked at the library of games for Linux on Steam?

Arrogance and condescension from an AC? Hi there, ClickOnThis.
Ah yes I see my error, now.
The last thing they want to do is something that could reveal their lack of status
Yeah, because they've been getting deported in droves lately, right? Obama is so tough on illegal immigration isn't he?
Besides, voter fraud is nowhere near the problem some claim it to be.
The fact that it happens at all is a serious problem. "Don't worry, it's only a little cancer. Naw naw, you'll be fine!"
what I really want out of a desktop environment is to stay out of my way.
Here, have you tried using Awesome?
Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install awesome"
Fedora: "sudo yum install awesome"
Arch: "sudo pacman -S awesome"
Ubuntu + Unity uses Nautilus as its file manager by default. Press Ctrl + L to get an editable file path.
In fact that's what makes it "science"

What? Your regexp needs work.
But no Adobe, Autodesk, Maya etc.
1. Adobe is not a program or product. It's a brand. Are you saying that Photoshop doesn't run on Linux? Because there's alternatives y'know. Or you might be able to run PS CC 2015 under Wine.
2. Autodesk also isn't a program or product. It's a brand. Are you saying that AutoCAD doesn't run on Linux? Because there's alternatives y'know.
3. Maya does install and run natively on Linux
Of course, when it comes to software, Linux supports literally everything except MS Visual Studio.
SystemD and gnome 3 brought me to Windows 7.

Are you shilling or trolling?
Welcome (back?) to the community.
Yeah, awesome, so right when the solar panels are covered up and don't generate power we should expend a whole lot of it to melt the ice...

Careful, citizen! Don't give anyone reason to doubt your love for Big Brother.
And then, just to prove the point, he got modded down. Great job /.
