About six months ago, I was overexerting myself trying to get rid of a terrible virus on a client's PC (I own a PC repair shop and have been fixing computers for over 10 years). Given my level of expertise, I thought I'd be able to get rid of it fairly quickly and without hassle, but as was made evident by my colossal failure, I was horribly, horribly wrong.
I couldn't remove the virus no matter what method I used. I tried all the latest anti-virus software and all the usual tricks, but it was all in vain. Failure after failure, my life was slowly being sucked away as I spent more and more of my time trying to get rid of this otherworldly virus. Then my employer cancelled my prescription drug coverage due to rising costs under Obamacare-- and that's when the real problems started.
Frustrated and stressed by my own failure, I began distancing myself from my wife and children. After a few days, I began verbally abusing them, and it eventually escalated into physical abuse. Finally, I murdered them and buried their bodies in the basement. No one notices the stench over that of the corpse of Slashdot.
That's when it happened: I found MyCleanPC ! I installed MyCleanPC right on the client's PC, ran a scan, and it immediately got rid of all the viruses without a single problem. MyCleanPC accomplished in record time what I was unable to accomplish after a full week. Wow! Such a thing!
MyCleanPC is outstanding! My client's computer is running faster than ever! I highly recommend you install MyCleanPC right this minuteness, run a scan, and then boost your PC speed in record time! MyCleanPC came through with flying colours where no one else could-- even my shrink!
My client's response? "MyCleanPC totally cleaned up my system, and increased my speed!" All the PC repair professionals are using MyCleanPC to solve all of their problems. This should be reason enough for you to switch to MyCleanPC-- besides not having to deal with some repair guy with crazy eyes whose family disappeared under suspicious circumstances. It'll speed up your computer, rid it of all viruses, and you'll be able to work productively again! Wow!
It won't bring my family back, but if it saves yours from horrible deaths by strangulation and subsequent dismemberment, it's worth every penny.

Which shows that people (in the US) don't understand climate, or weather, and the fact that climate change means an increase in theextremes of weather.
No, it means that the current Climate Change Political Philosophy means an increase in the extremes of weather. It's perfectly possible for a global climate change to have other effects. This one appears to be manifesting as extremes.
And USians still don't believe in climate change...
It would help if you call Americans what they wish to be called, instead of insulting them with your stupid made-up internet elitist terms.
Unfortunately, scientists have to present explanations that people without advanced degrees have to understand. Telling people they're stupid deniers because they don't understand your data-- especially when you won't admit your mistakes, and wrap it up in rhetoric-- is not going to do the job. That chart actually helps to explain the earlier errors in analysis and explain how the current cooling trend doesn't contradict the long-term warming trend.
Because you won't damn well pay for them if some of that money will go to "Some other bastard's idiot children".
Could you explain what this means? If you're implying weren't not spending enough on our schools, you're dead wrong. We're spending more than most other countries per student. Apparently, it's easier to throw (other people's) money at the problem then do the hard things.
Americans are now wholly incapable of thinking for themselves. Instead of insisting that airlines provide the service they want, and voting with their money, they want to tell the government to force everyone to go along with those who shout the loudest. If there's no safety issue with cell phones, is it even the government's business? Most airlines will ban phone usage, except perhaps in business class or wherever else warranted. Some won't, and for those who can't cut the (totally nonexistent) cord they'll choose those airlines.
I find it hypocritical that anyone who believes in personal liberties should support the government regulating behavior they find annoying.
There's enough gold in Fort Knox to drive current market prices below $100/oz (at least for a while) if they chose to dump even half of it.
Considering there hasn't been an audit since the Nixon administration, we have no idea if there is ANY gold in there. I don't think we even have the German gold we were entrusted with.
The only Christians in America who get press are the radicals and the curiosities. Christians who get down in the trenches and work humbly for God are boring and make terrible headlines.
What you have said is basically the opposite of what is true. I don't know how a rational adult could look at the number of Christian charities and believe that. I think you have some anger issues that are clouding your judgement. You don't have to always vilify people you disagree with.
Meanwhile, if you want to go to a school with any budget for things like teachers, the charter schools will be the only remaining option.
Nope, sorry, it's still a failure of government. If our public schools weren't so terrible, there would be no need for charter schools. Charter schools that use bad books are just as bad as public schools that use bad books. Public schools keep failing, yet somehow we don't ever propose abolishing them.
I'm not quite sure what your point is. Do you believe that a government-enforced monopoly is somehow capitalist? These utilities are as heavily regulated as one that was owned by the government. Why do you believe that a government that is too corrupt to properly regulate a monopoly will suddenly become competent and reliable once it is in charge of all operations?
Clearly, the answer is to raise taxes to pay for it. The rich aren't paying their fair share. The bad news is, the rich in D.C. all work for the government-- so good luck with that.
You can't really blame Windows security for users purposely running malware that holds their personal files for ransom... unless you're an ignorant drunkard on Slashdot.

I like how you were downmodded as a troll. A large segment of the elite really don't care what the truth is if it impedes their agenda.
If you had your mind made up in the 1980s, then you're part of the problem.
Science is a perpetual process.
And calling people stupid is sure to help you win debates.

The energy lobby.
Please, enlighten me with your brilliant analysis. Explain how a state-sponsored monopoly is capitalist.
You're a cock.
OK, maybe I had a brain fart here.
It wouldn't matter if charter schools did better... liberties aren't subject to vote, and neither are they subject to statistical analysis.
Could you explain what this means? If you're implying weren't not spending enough on our schools, you're dead wrong. We're spending more than most other countries per student. Apparently, it's easier to throw (other people's) money at the problem then do the hard things.
This is worse than apathy.

She owns one... despite the fact that she consistently legislates against the 2nd amendment, and has her own security detail.
Considering there hasn't been an audit since the Nixon administration, we have no idea if there is ANY gold in there. I don't think we even have the German gold we were entrusted with.
Just like her stance on gun control-- fine as long as she gets an exception.
She's the master of special pleading.

The media blaming Democrats for anything? When? I guess CNBC is the new "Faux News" for the left now?
Do that again, and I AIN'T a goin' after it!
Again, in what universe would a government-enforced monopoly be called "capitalism"?
Yet the people who called a state-sponsored monopoly "capitalist" are modded up, and your comment remains at 1.
Slashdot is over.

The compete lack of logic here astounds me.
