Gain control? For what purpose? That sounds illogical. Before the 20th century, it was normal to throw the contents of chamber pots out the window, into the streets. Are you suggesting that by telling people they should not do that and instead investing in a proper infrastructure to handle the waste was done solely for gaining control of people’s lives?
The way I see it, if this all bogus, we end up with cleaner air, less pollution and a better place to live. If it’s real, we did something about it. You win either way.
Isn't that true for everything?
While at it, with all bias aside, I don’t get what is there to gain by reducing CO2 emission. If it’s all a "liberal" conspiracy, what are they trying to gain? Will they start charging for clean air? I can see what you get to gain by denying the problem exists but not the other way around. I can't see any logic in it.
Maybe they used a 1kWatt wifi transmitter right next to the equipment being tested... Like when they test mice for radiation tests using 10^6 times the amount one would reasonably be exposed to...
Who ate your goat? The comment was about showing the numbers and disproving a statement. It had nothing to do with TFA and the rest of your rant. Facts, by definition cannot have a "version". If it depends on interpretation, it's not a fact but a theory or worse, a guess. I can't disagree with how you feel about the legislation in question because I don't have THOSE facts, therefore I cannot develop a proper opinion on THAT subject. The last paragraph of your post makes you look a bit deranged...
Maybe in an utopia way I agree with you. But just imagine if it was done now. I can only guess how many computers are compromised as it is. Politicians would start going to Russia to buy votes...
I don't think it's a matter of lack of testicles. It's just ignorance (in its literal meaning, not in a derogatory way). You can't desire what you don't know. People are left in a constant state of ignorance and follow a few corrupt "leaders" like a herd of sheep. This is not exactly different from just about every other place on the planet, it's just that you are so big and influential, the consequences affects us all.
No one is "selling" us a point of view. We are perfectly capable of forming one all by ourselves. We, at least here in Europe, have access to not only all your news networks as well as for networks from a lot of other places (which you don't nor care about). From here you look like a theocratic state not that different from the Taliban, where religion dictates what people can and cannot do. The voices of reason get completely drowned but wacko rhetorics, which are against reason, science and facts. And people THERE actually buy it! Just look at Sarah Palin and her following. Who is being sold what? You used to have a lot of very cleaver people able to accomplish amazing things but these are becoming less and less while the rest of the world has left you far behind. The fact you don't look outside explains it. I will bet you (you I mean generally) can't name a single European politician or a single political issue in any country in Europe. You more likely can't as you don't read anything other than English. Before telling us we are being sold, just think about what you really know about us.

Is it even possible to "clean" a Windows machine? How far behind are these so called "virus scanners"? Specially these freebees?

because doing so would risk giving poorer residents a dominant voice in politics..
That sounds a lot like... Texas?

Given that the average Cadillac driver age is probably around 95, this could actually improve things on the road...

Maybe slashdot should require some sort of IQ test before allowing comments. --- ducking and running...
“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

You're not considering the emotional state of things. It brings stability, and with it, the rest of the market reacts accordingly.
Why are people in favor or death sentences usually against abortion? Isn't death penalty a really late term abortion?
You made me spit my coke everywhere... Thanks! :)
I don't know about you but that's when the Christian right would scream "Rapture"...
That would put a hamper on a warp speed jaunt... Is that a super nova? No, it was Billy Joe smashing into a free floater...

That will forever be imprinted in my mind. Thanks! :)
