So what alarmist hyper-environmentalist news stories are we to believe? Last time I checked, we had environmentalists screaming that fracking thousands of feet down leaks chemicals (sand, light hydrocarbons) through thousands of feet of permeable geological layers. If these layers are so permeable and the alarmists are telling the trough, how come it takes `thousands` of years to recharge the aquifers?
The act of fracking, or fracturing, creates many tiny cracks.
Here's a thought experiment: Stick your head under a bucket of tightly packed soil (mostly clay) in a bottomless bucket and fill it up.
Now try the same thing after you use a spade on the soil in the bucket for a few minutes.
Get the picture?
Let's hope he actually tries your experiment - and without a spotter.
What if the aliens aren't a bunch of irresponsible, selfish shitbirds? A civilization as advanced as ours or better could go unnoticed because they have a clean atmosphere.
Answer: Maybe they are only trying to detect Republican aliens.
Re-read your own comment. You said, "...and anyone who thinks otherwise is simply ignorant." That is most certainly ad hominem. But someone who doesn't know the difference between opinion and fact can hardly be expected to understand logical fallacies.
Rather than telling other people to "grow up," how about focusing on their actual arguments? That's something you didn't really do to begin with.
Well I would, had there been any arguments present. There weren't. It was all pure opinion. It is not "a fact" that walled gardens are bad - it's an opinion. You should really learn the difference.
If a "Patent Assertion Company" or "Non-Practicing Entity" is found to have collected royalties on an invalid patent, they should be required to return the royalties.
I disagree, if the royalties were collected under a contract that was not forced upon the payors via court action or threat thereof.
Died BECAUSE of a Tesla. Yet another victim of the idiotic EV hype machine. I can't wait until I can roll coal on some Tesla driving schmuck's ass. It's gonna be sweet.

Nyah, nyah.
Our Pilot does the same thing.
California is sitting next to the largest body of water on the planet, all they need to do is set up some desalination plants to make it potplantable
That should help spread your idea.

Perhaps you'll understand your own style - you're an asshole with no brains who couldn't win an argument with a rock.

Fail. Argument ad hominem.
Nope. It's an absolute fact that trying to control your users in such a draconian way is bad.
Are you really that obtuse as to believe that a VALUE JUDGEMENT of BAD is fact, not opinion. Your brain is broken.
You don't get a lot of men being asked If the carpet matches the drapes
That's because more women dye the drapes than men.

I do not want kids to get used to DRM, walled gardens, and proprietary software. Plus, this is little more than corporate welfare.
Grow up. Other people aren't as radicalized as you are and actually like it.
They like to raise their prices constantly. The extra cost will appear later this year - I guarantee it.
Both Verizon FIOS users were reportedly very happy (other than their experience using Netflix).
Really? I live outside the city (as in no water or gas infrastructure) and I still have FiOS, here in Northern Virginia.
Sorry, I overlooked your introductory clause.

The original PC, in 1981 ran on the 8088 - an 8/16 bit hybrid chip. By the time the Mac was released in 1989
Strange that the 1984 commercial was for Macintosh, which according to you was released 5 years later.
Comes with that rack of Pentium IVs in the closet.
You mainline Pentiums?
There have been two deaths resulting from a Tesla crash.
And one temporary zombie.

No, he died because he was an asshole.
But he will be correct eventually.
You assume that everyone will die eventually. Perhaps, but that is, as-yet, unproven.
No, "immature dick" is name-calling, plain and simple. Grow up.

Almost every company half of apple's size has multiple vendors for every part of their product
Not when it comes to semiconductors; especially custom ones. Also, one newsworthy spin is that Apple is diversifying away from a competitor.
