That's not true (at least of all of them). That phrase is used by people who don't do any research into the matter.
And show me tests that actually prove smoking causes cancer. Show me where lab animals became cancerous by nicotine, tar, or even filaments from filters.
Some doctors actually believe without actual proof that it's only conjecture.
This isn't about climate change (his favorite term was global warming for a while), this is about carbon credits.
Plus your analogy is a bit incorrect.
If your doctor tells you that you have lung cancer and need surgery, and not only do some other doctors disagree as to the cause or that you actually have cancer at all, but your doctor is heavily invested in the companies that make the surgical equipment and rehab facilities, only an idiot would focus on the fact that your doctor smokes and is a hypocrite, and use that as an excuse to keep smoking and not get the scary and painful surgery.
See what happened there?
BTW in another note, there's actually no solid proof that smoking causes cancer. Rather, there are some very educated guesses by fully qualified physicians. Does that mean smoking doesn't cause cancer? No. It does mean that it's appropriate to be a little bit skeptical though.
They're guilt removers. People can buy carbon credits to offset their overuse of natural resources and pollution of the air (like Al Gore). This makes them a better person overall, and allows them to continue to tell other people they should all be riding bicycles while they fly around in private jets (like Al Gore).
I would say as clear as it can be. It's the only one that ships with all Android phones natively.
But as far as clear to users goes, you have to remember, these are the same people that will click on.exe links in emails from people they don't know because of the promise of hilarious puppies or flashing lights.
From Google's point of view that's exactly what Android users have. The Google Marketplace where apps are vetted, and the other app stores where they may or may not be.
Even then, we've seen with the Apple app store that the system in place to check apps isn't very good. With the number of submittals they would need an army of people to vet the apps properly anyway.
Google has a more lax approach with their store, but the net result is the same... some bad apples get through the process and onto people's phones.
The good news is the dev registration process requires you put up some $$ with a credit card which gives Apple/Google/RIM/MS at least a small chance of tracking the person down.
Well said. It's probably important to point out that best and worst feature of VB is its ease of use. That allows competent programmers to perform tasks very rapidly, but allows people who have no business being programmers to write crap code.
BTW, you may already know but the new versions of Microsoft Expression not only allow customers to design forms but from their own desktop if needed. It's really intended for BAs, but allows the flexibility of course.
Fair enough, but your laughter is misplaced. At no point was I talking about C/C++ (which is where my programming career began)... I was only talking about C# and Java.
It's been my experience that assembler programmers know more about the fundamentals than C/C++ programmers do... because they've been forced to understand it.

WTF is that supposed to mean Captain Assumption?
You realize, of course, that injecting your own supposition discredits anything (potentially of value) you might have said, right?
*sigh*

They're essentially the same thing, though one is for Sheryl Crow while the other is for DuPont.

Congratulations! You've won $38MM in carbon credits!
Or in order to promote investment in the green energy companies they're invested in.
Apparently you and I have completely different mechanisms for drawing conclusions.

I just spent my last mod point about an hour ago... so +1 Funny if no other mod gets it.
Hehe, I was thinking the same thing. Unless now-a-day means "at least as early as 1989" in my case.
Yeouch, so all nerds who aren't math nerds are fans of Fox News? I was quietly reading and learning a bit until I saw this post.

Since I use my personal smartphone for business, I do like to record calls from time to time. An exclusive lock on the mic would prevent that.
Other folks like voice changers, background noise apps, etc...
Never. I agree. Apple has enough employees and technology to thoroughly check apps it allows into the app store.
And wouldn't it be cool if Google had built in an app kill switch like Apple did?
You are hereby reminded not to get an Android phone if you lack the ability to do simple web searches.
Fanboi much?
And this comment lacks sarcasm detection.

It's not perfect but it's something.
Not to worry, I gave your credit card number over the phone just last week!
But what makes you say GOP and PACs... do you believe PACs don't influence the dems as well?

Also works.
kind of know about what's happening in other countries better then the average person on the street,
Really? Even though most people who deal with Cuba directly say differently?
Nice take on that... added to my mental toolbox.
Well, I blame it on 911 because shortly after was when the DHS visited my wife's PD to discuss the changes to state laws.
