It seems to me that hybrid cars and a few recycling here and there won't help much when tankers crash into the sea or chemical plants explode (Bhopal 20th anniversary is NOW).
And i don't think either it's about protocol costing too much or investing in new technologies. This last point is especially flawed since the last 50 years sure prove that investements in new tech do not naturally go towards ecological improvement unless it's enforced by law and state
All in all, it's the logics of production for profit which is to blame for ecological disaster. And while the world is dying in wars, malaria (heard about novartis not complying with WHO agreement ? see this for a very mild point of view ), working children, et al what exactly is making it all worthwile ? The abillity to drive a S.U.V. fo 1% of the population ? The extra-fat & land-destroying mega burger menu ?
Bah.. i don't even blame the people. I blame the ruling elite. And the banks.
Name an actual climatologist who seriously believes Kyoto will actually stop global warming.
Yeah, it's just another fake eyes-wide-shut protocol tossed by the greedy pigs of the so called civilized world, only to make belief they actually are trying to do something about global warming. That's what the kyoto protocol is, just a fake attempt to cover things up while the orgy and the destruction keep going.
And even this, as small as it is, the USA will not sign . FTS.
Everyone go see the day after tomorow !! While it supports a "different" kind of weather change and has no... hhmm... let's say err... "scientifical background" it makes a great point in favor of the Kyoto protocol ! (even though it's not close to a 10th of what should be done, the kyoto protocol is at least something in the correct direction) .
Educating kids with bedtime tv is evil.
having kids watching 20 times the same movie, even with "scene selection" is wrong.
I'm sorry, i know sometimes there's no other way but i just had to say this !! When i was a kid i was not allowed to watch tv for more than 15 mn everyday and these were cartoons on the PBS. What happened since then that made tv so central to education ?
This is the process that the founding fathers [...] It is great to be an American
I can't believe you're being serious !! Of course it's not "great to be an American" ! As it's not great to be Russian, Greek, whatever ! Who cares ?? I'll never understand someone that's proud to be of a special nation, this has so few logical reasons, this is such a poor feeling... And moreover when the country in question is f*cking up on every subject, such as word treaties (kyoto, geneva), institutions (un, wto) etc..
And how can you be proud of your electoral system ? Just because we all traveled to work as if it was a normal day ? That sure seems like an easy way of dismissing the fiasco it is, abstention included ! Call it a "democracy", go give lessons to third word countries, but it really is an organised system of greed, and the first deception is making you feel important with this little, almost useless vote.
This morning, i heard mister Fat Rich Richard Pearl on the radio. He was clearly stating that, the cold war being over, it was time for a true competition between the U.S and Europe, and any other country, including strong conflicts of interests, et al.
the kind of person that would want to go to France and hear all the crap they are spouting over there
Phew, thanks you so much, i knew all these talks about disappearing mail ballots, vanishing iraki explosives, escaping the militry service but still being presented as an Ubber War Leader and all and all were nothing but. crap
Now i can safely crawl back to my home cinema room and forget about reality.
I am your plumber - No I never went away
I still bug your bedrooms - And pick up everything you say
It can be a boring job... to monitor all day your excess talk
I hear when you're drinking, and cheating on your lonely wife
I play tape recordings... of you to my friends at night
We've got our girl in bed with you
You're on candid camera - We just un-elected you !
[Chorus] I am the owl
I seek out the foul
Wipe 'em away, Keep America free
For clean livin' folks like me
If you demonstrate - Against somebody we like
I'll slip on my wig - And see if I can start a riot
Transform you to an angry mob
All your leaders go to jail for my job
But we ain't the Russians - Political trials are taboo
We've got our secret - Ways of getting rid of you
Fill you full of LSD - Turn you loose on a freeway
[Chorus]
Send you spinning, Send you spinning
Send you spinning all over the freeway
Spinning on the crowded freeway
Spinning on the freeway, Spinning on the freeway,
Spin, Spin-Lookout !
The press, they never even cared
Why a youth leader walked into a speeding car
In ten years we'll leak the truth -
By then it's only so much paper
Watergate hurt
But nothing really ever changed
A teeny bit quiter - But we still play our little games
We still play our little games - We still play our little games - We still play our little games
We still play a lot of games
Natural decaf coffee plant is not genetically modified (as opposed to this other decaf evil plant) and is great news since it will be much tastier than today's decaf but also much cheaper to produce, maybe even opening a new market for the strugling third world countries producing your coffee.
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien called Bush a "buffoon"
Mr Hans Blix, whom you might remember as being 100% RIGHT when Bush and friends were lying to the whole world about the WMD- and you now ALL acknowledge that FACT, dont you ? - , well Mr Blix called the bush administration "Bastards".
Then he decided it would be better to call them "Weasels" instead.
This is in a documentary about Bush that goes much deeper than the Michael Moore pamphlet. It's sad to see that people in the US would prefere to argue hours about Moore's movie rather than see this one which is much more "objective" (there's no "narator" it's only interviews from different people like Blix, the husband of the CIA spy, the guy that writes the speeches for bush, and so on...)
>and he fucked our electoral system.
Again, how? As far as I am aware, he hasn't done anything to our electoral system. Did he change some laws? Extend his term? I must have missed that story.
mwahahaha.. Laws... who needs them ? Just brainwash half the population so they don't vote anymore, then have your brother rig the elections in Florida... You are a utopist, are you ?
Ask a question to a popullation and get a 50/50 result. What kind of statistical model raises this result ? That's right : coin tossing. And you call this an electoral system ?
"World wants to send soliders in to fight our battles, but only if we change leaders!" Now that's an odd spin we could try.
Yeah well this is true but mainly because in many other countries the leaders are also (as in : like in the U.S.) part of a corrupted elite who get elected with less than half of the population voting.
Otherwise the phrasing would be : "World wants the U.S. to sign the Kyoto protocol" , "World wants equal conditions for women and men", "World wants the end of child labour" and so on...
I don't see this as anything but GOOD news for the alt browser market.
yes , and we should also thanks slashdot for reminding us all of hotjava !!
I even forgot that thing existed ! Last time i tried it must have been like 3-4 years ago... ... and it sucked bad time !!! ahh... memories... thank you slashdot !

In my opinion as a one-time Perl6/Parrot devotee, it's taken too long. By the time it ships, it'll be irrelevant. And, like it or not, Parrot's ultimate fate will likely be tied to Perl6, even though they're seperate projects; and Perl as a language is on a decline
Well that is a point of view, althought what i see in my workplace is that Perl is being more and more used as a tool for small/medium projects, and it is script language number one on windows. I wonder how long it will take for ruby to achieve the same position.
I have to say that Python never did catch on here. I saw it in another job but it was kept to a very small part on a big C++ project.
I don't know of any admin using python or ruby for admin task ! It's either shell, perl, or C since i on 3000 Unix servers i guess i can't count with my fingers the ones where ruby is installed !
if you happen to catch the punk, you will discover something that is NOT what you expect: often a child, or a desparate drug addict
Bah, i don't see what truth there is in this. In my neighborhood criminals are really dangerous bad guys type and drug addicts are really dangerous too. As for kids, a gang of five petty criminals sniffing glue since age 9 can be very dangerous too.
The police in your area may offer "neighborhood watch"
These programs are the lamest thing ! It is so full of hypocrisy... I don't know if they actually reduce crime but i strongly doubt it , and i sure know that i'd hate my neighbors to be nosing around at all time
Well yes, but let's not forget the poster "got a (completely unwarranted) PHB-style threatening lecture last week about my work habits" .
Sometimes these managers think they are the real mac coy and have everything in the world figured out, be that "work habits", "global economics", "future of computing" et al... What they really are is just another cog in the machine, repeating like copycats the same corp bulshit every manager repeats.
It's good that someone sets them straigh once in while. You don't have to be rude or violent, but you can make it clear that since you are leaving you have the chance to speak some truth.
As of being blacklisted or whatever i don't believe any of it. Unless you do something really stupid, people will just forget, and as time goes by you could even work with them again !

It really is hard to believe that televised lies can take so much control over a whole population .
And all this along with an electoral system that's making everybody laugh to tears, from france to the poorest african country !
Good luck to all, and that includes the rest of the world that will unoubtedly have to suffer from this crooks and their demented buisness.
