During the past year, the arctic ice stopped receding and the layers of ice that usually form when winter arrives in the northern hemisphere were early. Consequently, global-warming debunkers were pointing at this as proof that global warming is not real.
My contention is that the solar-minimum caused the trend-reversal.
It will be interesting to see how the polar ice-caps and ice-sheets will fare during the next year, now that the sun has resumed (hopefully) its normal cycle.
Regardless of how extreme some people respond to some parts of anger, this is a pretty positive thing. I'd rather have someone rant about something online than go out and live out the murder they wished upon someone./stabbity
I started reading the posts on those sites and was getting a little upset because I could sort of relate to a lot of the experiences the people were writing about.
After a few really over-the-top ones, I started reading them as put-ons and thereafter started laughing as I read them.
Each one more distressing than the last, my reaction was to guffaw.
I sort of feel bad because some of them (maybe even most of them) are undoubtedly genuine but instead of drawing me into their feeling of anger, they instead made me laugh.
So to echo your thoughts, it IS better that people post these often-incoherent diatribes instead of going out and acting on their anger.
The guitars are playing an F with a G on top, the bass is playing a D at its second octave and the piano is playing the notes D-G-D across an octave...
Beats me what that is called...
But that's the point... A weird sort of dissonance that gives a signature sound.
It's easy to glum but let me remind you; the dinosaurs had 150 million years to rule the planet and are now extinct. Humans have been around for about 2 million and have already gone to the moon. Granted things could be better, but don't give up just because things are a little grim now.
Yes, but they would know that you would think that, and you would know that they know that you know that... They'd know that you know that they know that you know that they know that you know that and knowing that... You know what? Never mind...

I thought Dim Sum referred to the bill they brought you at the end...
Funny story,
I got laid off at the beginning of the year and took the time to come up with this, with my now-copious amounts of spare time:

Or through it.
Yeah, you should post cruel, cutting comments anonymously instead!

I just wonder if it's normal to laugh...
It's not perfect but it's better than other alternatives so far.
What do you suggest?
But they don't put the content on Youtube. You do.
I know videos get taken down all the time but they quite often get posted right back up too.
And watch Youtube instead.
Any time you give corporations power, they try to take even more away from you.

They were probably really high at the time.
Not really, the piano is playing a Dsus4.
If it was as simple as you say it is then people would have been able to recreate it long ago and no one did.
Wait, are you really claiming ActiveX is an advantage?
So when it blue-screens you will not have to wait as long, brilliant!

First thing I would do is launch my attack from a compromised host in country X while being in country Y
I mean it certainly forms a bubble around us.
>They'll find proof I had first post!
Then you should have called First Proof
>>I wonder if this will cause new clauses in gpl terms similar to commercial usage clauses preventing the support of any millitary, etc?
I doubt it.
The FSF will be more interested in the other side having the same access.

Did these things
- Create an army of the undead
- Trigger a plague
- Develop intelligence and a taste for human flesh?
All kidding aside, it might reinforce the theory of panspermia

I, for one, do NOT welcome our DRM-laden game overlords.

Fine: I own the bits on the DVD or CD I bought and I may make as many copies as I like of my property.
Please oh please CAN WE DISCUSS THE DAMNED TOPIC FOR ONCE instead of it descending into a stupid flame-fest about global warming and/or creationism
I really appreciate Linux when I hear a story like this:
It's like if I had a car and was able to change its constituent parts at will!
Of course that may void its warranty, but for some that is an acceptable alternative.
Let freedom ring!
Honestly though, Why the hell dont the laptops have OSX? ... There is no reason for a email/nutritional PC to not run OSX.
Because Linux is less expensive.
