The glassy-eyed liberals switched from "Global Warming" to "Klimate Change" to hedge their bets.
Both terms have been around for for over 3 decades, you do realise what the "CC" in IPCC stands for, right? The only people who tried to make political mileage from conflating the terms were in the Bush administration, specifically the PR guru Frank Luntz. But I know I'm wasting my pixels because brown shirts like you will swallow even the most obvious propaganda that your masters put in front of you and still defend their position until your death.
Agreed, many people think they have super human abilities, especially young men. Turning ones eyes upward while thinking is a very common behaviour that basically shuts out whatever else is going on, most (if not all) people do it unconsciously. When mobile phones first became popular in the 90's I would talk on mine while driving with no apparent problems, however one day I realised that I was turning my eyes upward to think about the answer to a question the caller had asked. I suddenly realised what I was doing and it scared the shit out of me, I haven't used a mobile while driving since that realization.
As a 35yr vetran of the road, my advice is that if your mobile rings while your driving either pull over or (heaven forbid) ignore it.
I'm a 52yo atheist, I have been an atheist all my life, my parents are atheists. My Catholic friends are just as disgusted by the Church's behaviour as I am and want these predators locked up. Frankly apologists like you and the pope who put doctrine above basic morality make me and all decent Catholics want to vomit.
Were talking about Cambodia, a small nation whose economy is highly dependent on the 2M tourists/yr it draws from rich nations, it's nothing like Somalia or Chicago.
You run a (profitable) torrent tracker and you take vacations in third-world asian countries?
Despite Pol Pot, the carpet bombing, and agent orange of the 70's, Cambodia is still a beautiful country where nowadays a millionaire can afford to live like a billionaire.
Exactly, one of the major considerations is infrastructure and governments often make sweetheart deals on it to attract corporate investment in their area. There's also absolutely no reason a mega-corp needs to evade taxation when the rules are such that they can legally avoid it. Clearly mega-corps are paying their legal share if not their fair share, but ultimately it's the government who makes (or fails to make) the rules.
Getting busted? - It's a routine audit, most mega-corps are continuously audited by the tax departments of various nations, many of them actually have a handful of tax officials that work full time going over the books at corporate HQ.

From the link - When asked about his company's tax minimisation schemes, he replied: "Of course I am minimising my tax. And if anybody in this country doesn't minimise their tax, they want their heads read, because as a government, I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra!" There's also a youtube clip showing the highlights of his testimony.
"In a laissez faire free market, the market has no designated controller."
That's an oxymoron since a "market" in the economic sense is simply a set of rules that governs trade, for example; all markets are fundamentally based on property rights which are declared and enforced by a "designated controller".
I realize some people have shortened "C++" to "C", but they're not the same language. C does not have classses, garbage collection, or higher-order functions.
The first C++ compiler I used was WatCom in the early 90's, it implemented all it's C++ language features as C macros. Also if you look at the examples in "The C programming Language" most are good examples of OOP, even though they were written at least a decade before the term was invented. For example structs with function pointers are what a C++ programmer would call classes.
That's what happened AFTER the fall of Rome, the US is a bit wobbly but its treasury bonds are still considered more secure than gold, fuck that market trust up by fragmenting the currency and you will be pining for the good old days of 2011. Unless your town is sitting on a huge natural resource, you cannot isolate yourself from the international monetary system, doing so will (at best) bring economic stagnation and material shortages to your walled garden.

You'd think so, but then why would he be anywhere near gmail?
Why does anyone else use gmail? The issue is not what he may/may not have said in the email, the issue is why has the US replaced "probable cause" with a star chamber?

I realize this is from a computer game, but it's true nonetheless : "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance".
No, it's a quote from Thomas Jefferson, but some other parts of your post sound like they came from a computer game.
So where does your moring turd go after you flush?
Why does the Chinese government need to make internet access open for US companies?
Because China bitched and moaned until the WTO made them a member, being a member of the WTO means your bound by WTO rules.
/ . is just "the ramblings of socially-inept
And the fact that your post equates France with China is good evidence for that.
Is Slashdot pandering for page-views?
Does a bear shit on the pope?
(Probably not but let's run with it as a headline)
Where's my mod points when I want 'em.
WTF are you babbling on about now?

The console analogy nailed it right on the head.
Makes me wonder what history would look like if the "look and feel" of nails, bricks, rope, tiles, etc, were patented.

No, it's a free ride when you've already paid.
Apparently Australians have gotten so used to be ruled by a single party, they get confused and scared when it's not the case.
No, they just forget that liberal party governments are actually a coalition government between the libs and nationals.

A friend of mine had a Lotus, it was so low to the ground that he couldn't drive it over a speed bump without scrapping the undercarriage.
No you can't, saliva digests most (if not all) STD's, if it didn't then they would be easily transmitted by food handling.

Reminds me of the media mogul Kerry Packer who was dragged before a senate enquiry here in Oz.
