I could easily do a "there, fixed that for you" on your statement, making it from the position of the other side. In some lights it would make better sense that way.
TRILLIONS of dollars hang in the balance - and extraordinarily claims require extraordinarily evidence. You want *my* trillions? Give me proof worth a trillion dollars.
Sooo many times in the last 110 years a large part of some segment of the scientific community was convinced that a disaster was upon us. Each time it was eventually discovered that there was nothing to worry about.
Of course many suffered before the truth became known.

All these things have one thing in common - they were pushed as a political and social agenda by the liberal/scientific elite. They were seized upon by dangerous power-hungry politicians as a way of grabbing power.
All this Global Warming stuff smells the same to me. I am a student of Science History and I can clearly see that this is the same pattern, the same story with the names and places changed.
Global catastrophe science seems to be the only kind that cannot be questioned. That is not how science works.
Questioning "established science" is the cornerstone of the leap forward.
Equating the current findings of the extremely immature science of global climate prediction with well established facts like gravity and a round Earth is just plain stupid.
Lets see how YOU hold up when a senator calls you and asks you to do something about one of your customers... oh wait, NOTHING you do is important enough for a senator to take of.
He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!
It seems to be that a significant quantity of the people with power over there revel in the power of controlling "what truth is".
The is wildly inconsistent application of rules relating to context and verifiability.
Many articles on even non-controversial subjects are watched by editors who seem to have a hardened POV agenda and will revert well-sourced edits that don't fit their world-view.
I found articles that were very thin and fleshed them out considerably, only to have them completely reverted by such individuals for a single missing reference. One that would have taken them all of a minute to source themselves.
This is in direct violation of the rules involving non-controversial subjects.
This same guy then went through every edit I made on other articles with a fine-toothed comb and reverted many of them for officious reasons.
Omarcheeseboro was the guy that particular time. Pointing out the literally *thousands* of articles that had problems many times worse than what I supposedly introduced was a complete waste of time. The arbitration process is hopelessly broken. Basically the net affect of all this is that you have to be a Wikipedia etiquette expert to hope to make any changes of substance - or you can expect hours of work to be thoughtlessly reverted as part of petty jealousies and personal POV dominions.
If I owned a company and someone under me bought Microsoft for corporate use, I'd fire them on the spot. Disclaimer: If it's for personal use, I wouldn't care.
I'm guessing that your many emotional and neurological issues will prevent you from ever being in a position of power over other people's lives.

I think this is the finest post I have ever seen on slashdot. I will state categorically that it is no less than the work of true genius.
I am glad to bask in your light, even if its luminance obscures me from view of my peers.
There probably was some average guy that said something or asked a question that started Einstein on the path that led to his early insights. History has forgotten that guy - but inside his own heart he knew... he *knew*.
Now it is *I* who knows.
Thank-you for efforts, you have helped mankind advance its knowledge of rhetoric. It will be up to those who follow you to use what you have shown us to good effect.
My quote bin in my e-mail hungers daily for quality material, but all too often it goes unsatiated.
But today it will feast on what you have provided. We both thank you.

As far as I can tell, the only thing that separates Richard Stallman from the bum that lives under a bridge near my home and rants incoherently at strangers is that Stallman has the ability to code.
How someone's personality disorder became a religion is beyond me. Oh, wait - *All* religions start that way.
Rational businesspeople are not advocates, nor do they think it is important to force the adoption of strange new enterprise software with different paradigms and value systems.
The lag that many see in the adoption of FOSS where they work does not actually exist.
There are different ways of determining "equal or greater value".
Manager's who make that determination usually have no interest in "making a point" - they look at what is best for the company in the *macro* sense and have to be always mindful of their job security.
Right now is NOT a good time to lose one's job because you were trying to strike a blow for FOSS.
Keep it simple stupid - there is the old saying that no one ever got fired for buying Microsoft.
What never gets added is that people have gotten fired for going above and beyond to advocate for FOSS and then got fired when there was a show-stopping problem (which can happen no matter what new scheme you bring in).
FOSS has it's time and place, but *you* sticking your neck out trying to jam in FOSS into an environment that is not culturally ready for it is just asking for being the center of a CYA shitstorm.
I'm guessing that a bunch of people on slashdot have been severely stung from drinking the kool-aid.
It hurts the company, the boob that was a advocate instead of a advisor, and most of all it hurts FOSS.
Don't push, FOSS will get there on it's own schedule.

Hey dumbass, there would not be a 20 minute ping time! Modern Warfare's servers would of course endeavor connect you with local players.
When I took my Xbox to Germany, I fried it because I did not understand the different power connectors.
But when I played on a rented one, everyone was speaking the local gibberish.
So unless you are near Valles Marineris and the people you are playing are all the way over by Aethiopis - you should be fine.
Use your brain, man. If you are going to be showing your ignorance, you should at least post AC.

I wish the world had a few more unreasonable visionaries who were unwilling to compromise on their goals to make this a better place.
The world has *plenty* of people like that. They are the reason it takes three hours to board a plane nowadays.

My stockbroker got fired for buying IBM.
Stallman is the Michael Savage of software. He seems reasonable until you hear him speak or read his writings.
Both are unhinged advocates for changes that will NEVER happen without first finding a genie.
