  1. Re:call me skeptical on NASA, NOAA: 2014 Was the Warmest Year In the Modern Record · · Score: 4, Informative

    Who, exactly, says there has been no warming in the last 20 years and is calling this a "warming hiatus?

  2. Re:nothing to do with the end of the last ice age? on NASA, NOAA: 2014 Was the Warmest Year In the Modern Record · · Score: 1

    You have an interesting hypothesis. I look forward to your evidence supporting it. The other side has already weighed in on it, though.

  3. Re:Way to Elevate the Debate.... on Ted Cruz To Oversee NASA and US Science Programs · · Score: 1

    Nice try. Kennedy took the top tax rate down from 91% to 70%. He also got Congress to pass his economic agenda, which included:

    • "Increasing the minimum wage.
    • Expanding unemployment benefits.
    • Boosting Social Security benefits to encourage workers to retire earlier.
    • Spending more for highway construction."

    Still think he'd be welcomed by today's Republican Party?

    Yeah, and the Democratic president waited until *after* the Democrats lost power in the legislature before proposing it.

    So you don't want the President to propose anything because he should have done everything already?

    Whoops, you forgot to deny you have an agenda. For your next internet search, look up "straw man".

    Funny how your searches of the whole internet only return links to a denier site. With your next search you should look up "confirmation bias".

    Both are clearly claiming there is no global warming since 1997.

    I'm sorry but did I miss the part where recorded history started in 1997?

    Ah, the Pebble. Relive the graphics of the original Game Boy...on your wrist!

  11. Re:One year too early on Ask Slashdot: What Can I Really Do With a Smart Watch? · · Score: 2

    I remember watching an interview of Steve saying how they put everything into the iPhone, almost as a last shot of reviving Apple.

    Huh? By the time Apple introduced the iPhone, they had already grown bigger than Dell. What is this "reviving" of which you write?

  12. Re:Why? on "Team America" Gets Post-Hack Yanking At Alamo Drafthouse, Too · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The same reason conservative members of Congress don't want to close Gitmo and transfer the prisoners to the mainland: 'murica wants to confront, fight, and destroy terrorism...somewhere else but not here.

  13. Re:I'm shocked. on Apple Wins iTunes DRM Case · · Score: 2

    The iPods are on life-support - they don't make Apple much money anymore but Apple keeps them around because there's still a tiny demand for them.

    That's true but the funny thing is that that "tiny demand" was well over a billion $$ in revenue in the past year. Funny how that much money is considered tiny...for Apple, anyway.

  14. Re:Wrong conclusion on Apple's iPod Classic Refuses To Die · · Score: 1

    Nah. I bought mine when I noticed Apple had discontinued it but before the Media caught on (thus avoiding the high prices). I bought it because I have more than twice this iPod's 160GB of music and wanted the elbow room that my iPhone couldn't give me. I figure my iPod Classic will give up the ghost around the time I get my new 512GB iPhone X.

    Hellman's invalided their own complaint, by their prior use of "mayo" for non-egg-producting-containing spreads.

    Or: Hellman's validated their own complaint by halting use of the term "mayo" for any of their own products that do not contain any "egg product"?

    Your CEO cares enough about the search engine setting in browsers to be pissed off but isn't smart enough to know how to change it? Sounds like a fascinating company...

  17. Re:How did your senator vote? on Republicans Block Latest Attempt At Curbing NSA Power · · Score: 2

    Recall that the first Republican President waged the country's bloodiest war to prevent the central government's domain from shrinking. The war turned a federation of sovereign states into a compulsory chain of provinces.

  22. Re:So they patented this because....? on Disney Patents a Piracy Free Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Not force other search engines to license it but allow them to license it, likely for free. By patenting it themselves, Disney can give it away to all search engines and make sure no one search engine has a monopoly on this anti-piracy technology. If you squint really hard, you can see a resemblance to the GPL there...if I'm right.
