  1. Re:WWJD? on Apple's Tim Cook Calls Out "Religious Freedom" Laws As Discriminatory · · Score: 1

    Are you really comparing gay folks with the klan, or is your argument so shoddy that you need to in order to sound like you have a point?

    So it boils down to "this law stops dicks from being dicks". Oh the humanity! The people getting married are celebrating their marriage, and the people making the cakes are not - they are engaged in a business transaction with members of the public. Fuck 'em. This is the 21st century, and they are relics from a long-gone age.

    Oh I see now - you're not very bright. No one is claiming you don't. They are claiming that your notion that you decide with whom to do business is preposterous, as is clearly demonstrated by putting a "Whites Only" sign on your door and seeing how long your awesome business lasts.

    There you go with your one piece of evidence which you seem to think overturns the mountains of evidence which says you have no clue. You are absolutely terrible at this. Please keep going - it's hilarious!

  5. Re:Tired of Consensus = Fact on Experts: Aim of 2 Degrees Climate Goal Insufficient · · Score: 1

    You seem to think the only factor affecting ice ages is CO2, which means you should probably stop discussing this subject and just listen for a while, preferably to people who have actually studied the subject at hand. Either that or you decided to write a post which insinuates your lack of knowledge on accident. Your choice.

    It's nutty, but it's worked before. If you can't see two massive examples dangling in front of your eyes like two hairy balls of truth, then there is no help for you, as you've clearly not given any thought to this what-so-ever, and opted to adopt the stance which absolves you from any blame and says you don't have to stop being greedy :)

    Again with showing everyone how little you know. They have not cried wolf. People who seem to not want AGW to be true claim they cry wolf all the time, and you believe them without checking this out for yourself.

    Your science teacher should be reprimanded, as they failed you massively. With each and every post you tell the world how bad your education is, and how you will cling to anyone or anything saying something you find comforting, regardless of the evidence they have to back it up.

    You should re-check your sources, as unless you intended to vomit nonsense, you made a mistake somewhere along the line...

  9. Re:Let's see on Experts: Aim of 2 Degrees Climate Goal Insufficient · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is you just told everyone you don't know what you are talking about, and are just parroting what someone else told you. You didn't even realise you did it, for the very same reason - you don't know. You've been told enough to make you think you know, but when you put this information to the test by proffering it, all it does is say in large letters "This guy doesn't know what he's talking about! He's arguing for someone else!". Hint: Antarctic sea ice extent does not mean the world is not warming, but quite the opposite. The ice actually on Antarctica is not expanding.

    If you got that simple fact wrong, what else have you got wrong? Clearly you're not a big believer in fact-checking, so what else have you completely misunderstood? The problem doesn't seem to be with the science, but your lazy attitude towards learning.

    So because your history education was a joke, a good idea can't be put in to practice. Good jerb!

  11. Re:Better Idea on Nation's Biggest Nuclear Firm Makes a Play For Carbon Credit Cash · · Score: 1

    You do realise that with every post like this all you are saying is "I don't know how carbon credits work!" and nothing more, right? Carbon credits are not difficult to understand, yet you seem to go out of you way to not understand them, instead spending that time proudly telling everyone how ignorant you are of a simple subject. How utterly perplexing.

  12. This is his job on Europol Chief Warns About Computer Encryption · · Score: 1

    His job is to point out things which cause them problems. If those things are valued by constitutions and lawmakers, they will not be listened to, and Europol (in this case) has to change its game to deal with it. If he kept quiet about every headache they deal with, he should be removed from his position. Instead, he does his job, and the technically literate people who can't understand what his job actually entails start moaning about how infeasible it is or how it tramples basic human rights.

    Every post here complaining about this guy pointing out how bad encryption is for them has missed the point entirely, and is engaging in a knee-jerk moanfest. The people to get angry with are any politicians who try to enact this guy's suggestions.

  13. Re:Fun fact on At the Track With Formula E, the First e-Racing Series · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Did you really think they were racing electric cars so the races polluted less? That's the only way your statement makes any sense. If you'd bother to read anything about this, they are hoping to use the developments and insights gleaned from Formula E engineering in production cars. The environmental savings are further down the line, when the technology is sitting outside your house.

    I know it's fun to moan about environmentalism, but when you miss the point entirely, the only thing that gets wounded is your reputation. Like just now. Ouch.

    So make the vroom vroom noises yourself - the rest of the world can carry on and embrace the new technology, and you can still have your car noises.

    Gamergate won't ever die as there will always be some people so offended when the inherent small-mindedness of gamers is called out, that they lash out like scalded toddlers at whatever they perceive is attacking them, proving the point of their accusers as they go. Wanting to be able to be sexist children is not a grassroots campaign, it's being sexist children. Calling it a grassroots campaign is hilarious.

    A literal ad hominem. That's all you have? Try attacking the science, not organisation associated with the group which publishes it. I guess you can't, though, hence that embarrassing post of yours.

  19. Re:Climate never STOPS changing on Experts: Aim of 2 Degrees Climate Goal Insufficient · · Score: 1

    People die all the time, so by your logic we should accept murderers exist and continue, doing nothing about them.

    Hint: it's the rate of change which is the kicker, coupled with our strict requirements as a species. We can't move entire agriculture systems/industries from their current location into other countries (with poorer soil) and expect no-one to notice. Well, you do, apparently, but no-one else does.

  20. Re:Only 1C on Experts: Aim of 2 Degrees Climate Goal Insufficient · · Score: 1

    Those temperature changes happened far slower than the current warming, allowing populations to adjust more slowly. If you can't see the difference, then you really should stay out of these discussions ;) I await you posting your single Greenland ice core as some sort of evidence...

    Hardly. She knows what people can deal with, and we know how much CO2 in the atmosphere will cause climactic effects which exceed what those people can deal with, hence the embarrassingly-easy maths required to show she's right and you are clutching at straws.
