    Pollution is still pollution. I say the solution is to build giant dehumidifiers, the size of which would be used for terraforming.

    Sure. Heat and pressure differences create Russians.

    So to unlock your phone you... put your finger into it's back hole? Sounds kinky.

    I use a phone to dial a number, speak, then hang up.

    What the AC above just told you. Get a dumb phone. Smaller, cheaper, better battery life, etc.

    Until they all copy that feature, which by that time all the Android fanboys will say Apple copied the feature from Android.

    Last time I tried to program in python, it just tried to strangle me. I learned my lesson and only program in white mouse now.

    It's strange, though. Sometimes I get the feeling the mice are just staring at me and analyze everything I do. I better get a towel and a bag of peanuts.

    I have a buddy in prison who says it's offered as a class to inmates.

    Man, I heard prisons were tough, but Python, really? Doesn't that violate U.N. human rights accord?

  16. No, if a language gets too popular you won't get a job writing code in it because everyone else will want the same job as you.

    Pick something like Fortran or Cobol? You'll be able to count the job offers on one hand but you won't have much competition for those jobs.

    If you don't want to pay the prices for films that don't meet your standards, the appropriate thing to do is simply don't watch them. Your criticisms of the film industry do not justify theft, no matter how much you pretend otherwise.

    When you buy something that doesn't do what the marketing bullshit says it should do, there are laws in place that gives you the right to get a refund. Nothing similar exists for copyrighted material.

    And some of them add more bullshit on the packaging saying that if you open it you agree to the bullshit legal mumbo-jumbo user agreement sealed inside the packaging that you can't read before opening it.

    Copyright means copy right. The right to copy after a limited period of time. That law was put in place for both the authors and the public but since the last few decades it has become one-sided bullshit protecting mega-corporation that steal from the authors themselves and put people in prison or ruin their lives simply for copying media. The law is less severe if you steal physical things from a store, where there is actual losses involved.

    They will also have more of an excuse to use their own rare metals and charge higher prices to export them. Smart.

    They can't. Smart is a German automotive marque and division of Daimler AG, based in Böblingen, Germany.
