  1. Re: "Could", on The Shale Boom Won't Stop Climate Change; It Could Make It Worse · · Score: 1

    *Every* generation has altered the living conditions passed to the next. Now that your main point is collapsed, mind swallowing your own ad hominem?

    Whitehead's theory of gravitation is still about gravity. So, everything from "Clearly" on is straw.

  3. Re:Lucky it wasn't Cristo on Peru Indignant After Greenpeace Damages Ancient Nazca Site · · Score: 1

    No this. Thankfully Florida told him to cram it. On the other hand, his messes *can* be cleaned up. This can't.

  4. Re:The disturbed sand? on Peru Indignant After Greenpeace Damages Ancient Nazca Site · · Score: 2

    Way to miss the point. The complaint is they defaced a national treasure.

    If one is going to self-loath, keep it pointed inward.

    Since they're being detained, they may not have a choice in that "apology". Peru doesn't seemed impressed with their sincerity.

  8. Re:Despicable Greenpeace on Peru Indignant After Greenpeace Damages Ancient Nazca Site · · Score: 2

    If you believe they're trying to save the earth, perhaps you should speak with an ex-founder of theirs.

  9. Re:What the hell is wrong with Millennials?! on Peru Indignant After Greenpeace Damages Ancient Nazca Site · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It takes a true imbecile to make that leap.

    The trashing of the Gulf was an accident and a mistake. This was a malicious ignoring of Peruvian law to access a sacred site to further their own egos. There was no mistake involved here.

  11. Re:There is no vaccine for the worst diseases on Time To Remove 'Philosophical' Exemption From Vaccine Requirements? · · Score: 1

    The context is in *making* people take things, not voluntary consumption.

  12. Re:Or You Could Just Not Drink To The Point of Int on Facebook Offers Solution To End Drunken Posts · · Score: 1

    Everything in moderation - including moderation.

  13. Re:No thanks on Facebook Offers Solution To End Drunken Posts · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes... Well, your last snark is exactly why this is a bad thing. Facebook's algorithms will no doubt have false positives and Facebook will **no doubt** keep these statistics. As with other stats, these can find their way out of Facebook's altruistic hands.

    That last, by the way, was a snark. At least the word altruistic.

  14. Re:You're Doing It Wrong on The Case For Flipping Your Monitor From Landscape to Portrait · · Score: 1

    Didn't say they couldn't. Just pointing out that *anyone* claiming what "normal" users do is spouting opinion, not fact.

  15. Re:Have Both on The Case For Flipping Your Monitor From Landscape to Portrait · · Score: 1

    Utter bullshit. I've had two and three monitors for years. No problems at all.

  16. Re:So to summarise the click-bait article... on The Case For Flipping Your Monitor From Landscape to Portrait · · Score: 1

    Word processing as well. I write, and having more than half a page up at a time is worthless. I'd much rather be able to easily read the text and a complete line.

    With a large screen, normal users will have a browser up and then maybe their finance app or a game up. Or perhaps, we're both making up what "normal users" do.

  18. Re:Not sure who to cheer for on Fraud Bots Cost Advertisers $6 Billion · · Score: 0

    If and only if they also do not visit the site. Not being willing to spend money does not equal worthless as their time has worth.

    You are incorrect, sir. It is a hint of ding.

    Just altering the words of a phrase in no way negates the point of his statement.

    If you honestly think that someone paying you to do some work is a little Napoleon, you truly haven't thought out what a government that has total control over your economics will be like. Hint: Big Napoleon.

    That's an interesting way of saying you can't think of one.
