    Ug. Remedy is such a bitter pill.

  3. Climate engineering? on Climate Scientist: Climate Engineering Might Be the Answer To Warming · · Score: 2

    Right. There isn't an engineer or a group of engineers smart enough to do that without dire consequences.

  4. Re:Why so much resistance to climate science? on Study Rules Out Global Warming Being a Natural Fluctuation With 99% Certainty · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Because they are talking out their ass and ignoring or minimizing anything that does not support their "theory".

    Could not have said it better.

    Yep. Garbage in, garbage out. Models are like maps, they are not the territory. Since these "scientists" want me to ignore their 4.5 billion years of climate change and accept their area of focus that would not even qualify as a sliver of that time frame. They are just promoting pseudo-science. I to can smell a scam.

  7. Michigan on Should Microsoft Be Required To Extend Support For Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    needs to pull their head out of their ass.

    Exactly.

  10. Zukerburg didn't lie... on Why No One Trusts Facebook To Power the Future · · Score: 2

    in an email interview years ago when asked about security, data privacy and such things. He said anyone is a fucking idiot to trust him; indeed you are.

  11. Re:The best example of pseudoscience on It's Time To Bring Pseudoscience Into the Science Classroom · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Hence their moniker change from "global warming" to the more general and happens everyday "climate change". Much harder to disprove that climate changes everyday. They had to adopt something to hid their half truths.

    Use global warming or climate change or whatever the word/phrase the charlatans are now using.

  13. Re:In the heat... on Will Living On Mars Drive Us Crazy? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Not after man gets there as man IS the cause of climate change. So in a short while after their arrival it will turn into hell. So says the pseudo-scientists of global warming, erm I mean climate change, erm I mean whatever new term they come up with to add to the confusion.

    "... the existence of those striking sunsets is, in itself, often a sign of artificial or natural pollution altering the sunsets."

    Or just their fucking imagination, geesh what mental gyrations "scientists" and the holy believers will go through to "support" their religion.

    Well then, everyone should be using a Babelfish.

  18. Ingrates on Some Mozilla Employees Demand New CEO Step Down · · Score: 1

    They should count themselves lucky the CEO does not apply the same standard to those demanding he step down.

    Then Jimmy needs to apply the same level of scrutiny to climate change.

  20. Sure on White House To Propose Ending NSA Phone Records Collection · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This "call" no doubt falls into the same category of the Patriot Act Obama railed against as a Senator but has since expanded.

    HR, the one department in a company that does more damage than all others.

    Yep and then try to convince us all it was the fault of capitalism.

  23. Re:is it illegal? on Silicon Valley Anti-Poaching Cartel Went Beyond a Few Tech Firms · · Score: 0

    Actually I have never heard of a law making it illegal. I suppose it depends how you want to categorize their actions. Is it colluding? At its most basic level; "come to a secret understanding for a harmful purpose; conspire." its certainly done in secrecy but who is it harming? Obviously the worker since it limits their employability not because of their skills but simply by who employes them, so I think such collisions should be illegal.

  24. Re:Do the crime, do the time on Silicon Valley Anti-Poaching Cartel Went Beyond a Few Tech Firms · · Score: 2

    Jail time? Your chances are better at getting struck by lightning or winning a lottery. Its always the big fish getting called out on these practices but it would not surprise me if the same occurs with the small fry.

    That's not capitalism.
