Wow, nice way to bust "macho Australian" and "tough vet" stereotypes in one fell swoop. Please let him be a "defence of marriage" type as well, those are always the funniest when they get busted trawling for trade in airport bathrooms.
who was boasting about how great it was to have 4(!) versions of FireFox under development at the same time, not to mention all the different platform flavours.
Sadly, it turns out that it's a different clown, so there are at least two of them at Mozilla. I has a sad.
Since ecomentalism is indoctrinated in schools now, there can't be many people still ignorant of the issue.
Perhaps you're conflating ignorant denial with informed apathy?
In other words, maybe We, the People have decided that we'd rather rise to the challenge of dealing with climate change as it happens than beggar ourselves in a futile and risible effort to preserve the planet in an eternal 1950s best-of-all-possible-worlds ideal state.
I wonder how respected he'll be now that he's got caught first trying to hide then pathetically to play down the pretty obvious strings running up to the Microsoft glove.
It's not so much that he did it that's outrageous, it's the insulting assumption that he could just shrug and get away with it.
These comments are based on reading TFA, by the way, it really is as bad as the summary makes it sound for once.
You're asking this question using the culmination of 40,000 years of technological advancement, every single step of which was based on the premise that our reach should always exceed our grasp.
On the day that we all collectively shrug and say "Eh, that's good enough" (likely after plugging in the first holosuite), then we're done as a species and might as well hand things over to the rats or cockroaches.
Blow the dust off of your credit card and donate to the EFF and ACLU, since "democracy" is now essentially Government Inc. versus the representatives of We the People in the courts. It pains me that we have to fight a rearguard via lawyers, but I don't see any other practical means.
In gutterspeak, who is ever going to be sued or prosecuted over giving out that information for a legitimate emergency?
And if it's not legitimate - if, for example, it's a social engineering hack - then it should be illegal to give it out, right? You don't get to say "Well, they barked a name and badge number at me and said it was urgent, so I had to tell them."
My first job involved fixing the errors of my boss who tended to work until about 2am, commit a pile of utter garbage, then come in about 2pm the next day and start all over again. Yes, I did get asked why I couldn't be more like him.
Sitting in a climate controlled room and fretting about the environment using a massive global information network.
Shivering in a dark cave and gnawing on your aunt's shinbone while exclaiming "Me um welcome natural re-glaciation".
Choose one. And no, I am not joking, not in the slightest. Solar, wind and wave are boondoggles, spending fossil energy up front to create inefficient, (generally) unreliable generators that will pack up and die long before they pay back the energy that's gone into making and (vitally) maintaining them.
Our choices are fossil fuels, or a massive nuclear program, probably thorium, to tide us over to fusion. That's it, greenwashing the question doesn't give a realistic third option.
Now I can relax and leave my children to surf totally unsupervised, completely safe in the knowledge that there is no way that the curious inventiveness of technically literate young people can bypass the... eh, no son, that octopus-thing us just giving the nice lady a hug, in all her private places.
No, see, it's not proper rocketry unless you read about it in a NASA press release.
Which is the problem here: why are we hearing about this from NASA? Screw those lumbering dinosaurs and their thousand-dollar hammers, I'd love to see SpaceX, Virgin or any other player just go ahead and send a surprise cheap dumb booster up to the ISS for so little outlay that they can say "Oh hai, say, do you guys you want these supplies or not? Doesn't bother us much either way, we'll just leave them in orbit here in case you change your mind."

Never mind, when we're sailing around with Kevin Costner looking for Dryland, the free marketeers will just invent a new planet.
Back under your bridge, troll: "Belgium" doesn't exist.

"Science", you say? How science reporting works.

Jesus wept, in two years we'll all be commuting to moon meetings in fusion powered flying cars.
Trust a government to over-complicate things. But some racks, install a Wiki, job done.

tl;dr version: Climate Change? FUCK YEAH!

How are the demographics in India, Malaysia, Korea and China?
England. No, I don't know where the deposits are, but that isn't exactly relevant to the de facto situation.

And all of that effluent was forged in the heart of stars. It's a magical world.
Just so we're clear, everybody who has ever said this had no intention nor need to travel to the USA anyway.
Hans Ze Vacationer doesn't care. Jean le Commerce has no choice. You can't fight this with a boycott.
France and Germany are the Eurozone, and it's precisely your kind of ideological pedantry that's sent the Eurozone economy down the pan.
Plaintiff is registered in Delaware, judgement is in California - it's a fair bet the defendants live there.
Of course, getting a judgement and collecting on it aren't the same thing.
Whoa, whoa, let's use units that we all understand, like candlepower and prayer beads.

Hi, you're using one of those Freedom Eagle brand computers made in Omaha? Flip it over, read the Made in China sticker, then lead by example, please.
