Ain't that sweet, and ain't people on the internet nice -- you rip someone off while saying you "respect" copyright, you're making money off ads on it, and you have the audacity to say the movie is all bulshit. Cheers for the copyright 'lovers' on teh internet, really.
They're the Republican equivalent of suicide bombers.
Really. They do something to attack the enemy, with no means of defending themselves from counter attack. They're righteous warriors ("respecting copyright," indeed) who attack in this way in place of their superiors because they know they'll be destroyed by a counter attack. Being destroyed is part of their attack, because of the publicity it would garner for their side. (i.e. If Moore had them prosecuted for infringement, he's a "hypocrite.")
Good question, we're not actually sure, and we don't understand the mechanism behind it (if so, please point to an accurate climate model, we can maybe tolerate 1% error margin, but certainly no more than that)
You're kidding, right? You want a 99% accurate prediction of the entire planet's climate? And you want that before we take any action?
even if there is a method to stop it, what is the cost ? Probably it more than the economy produces in a single year, and that is, just too high
You're about 20x-500x off, according to the most credible estimates. 100% GDP? Please.
Of course science is under strict control. Of course it's undemocratic.
In a democratic society you are free to state that the world is flat. The people are free to elect someone who says the world is flat. In science you've actually got to prove that the world is flat. Does that mean you're "not free" in science to assert whatever you want as reality. Sure. Personally I like those restrictions. Without them we'd be back in the middle ages.
We don't elect reality. We discover it. Discovery requires that one thing is paramount: observation, and the unbiased interpretation of that observation. So, in essence you are restricted by reality because you want you perception (your model of reality) to conform with reality as much as possible. So you lose the freedom to say that reality is anything you damn well please.

Dare I say it: $26k is peanuts compared to the money necessary to solve those problems.
That said, I hope the nuts end up in food banks around NYC. But really, $26k would barely scratch the surface in solving Iraq, the health care system, or Katrina cleanup. Please...
Republicans at the state level want this too. It's even in TFA, if you care to RTFA. Of course, the blame will be shifted to Democrats, because we all know that Republicans neverraisetaxes...
Imagine you're told your new expensive laptop, by *Apple* (a brand mostly known as going for component quality since designers work with it), will have have display quality like the second square.
The left square has banding, the right square does not.
A cynic might suggest that the people writing open source software are the ones who are making their daytime living working for a proprietary-solutions vendor and spend their nights tearing down the very house they live in. And that if open source replaced proprietary solutions, these people would not be able to make a daytime living that supports their night time hobby.
A cynic would be right.
A cynic obviously can't see that there are other business models other than "proprietary-solutions vendor."

Open source is not a movement; it's a religion... Remember the Communist Manifesto..."
then
The vendors were tripping over themselves swearing allegiance to the open source movement. It was like Republicans genuflecting at the graven image of Ronald Reagan.
So, open source guys are Republican Communists?
I don't think this guy's a cynic. I think he's a schizophrenic.
I guess your handlers call themselves NetBuzz because they think they are good at advertising. But they aren't. They and you are just liars, in my opinion.
This comes from a guy with a site named "Future Power (R)"? (R)? Jeez...
Everyone who needs reliable telephone service has land lines, and there is no evidence that will change in the near future.
Youngsters who have grown up with technology don't expect reliability anymore. Just ask your average windows user. Crashes, outages, dropped calls...all expected behaviors. Cell phones are reliable enough.

Using BSD as the basis for OSX basically gave FOSS credibility in the consumer market.
It's like a decade of free positive publicity.
Mozilla can take the competition. If it can't it shouldn't be in the game.

Of course it's a different standard. Microsoft doesn't have to compete with Microsoft.

As opposed to replacing the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by global starvation, catastrophe, and deprivation?

I for one welcome our reality overlords.
Yeah! And why can't Canadians use question marks.
Don't be deluded into thinking this only happens in government, or is even more common there.
Easy. Outlive them.
Don't mod that down! Funny as hell! :)
Anyway, I don't think the uncanny valley will be a factor in AI for quite some time. There's just far too much to overcome.
No, I just absorbed a bicycle.
Yeah, it's a shame we don't have an unending war to keep the troops sharp and make the government efficient and lean...
Yes.
No.

This is on my MacBook Pro display, btw.
Yeah, except when you're viewing under 60Hz fluorescent lighting.
