And whose fault is that? Should science use only terminology you and your ilk can understand, slowing progress to a snail's pace in the process, or should you educate yourself so you can participate in these discussions (and life in general) like an adult?
Scary illegals! Oh noes! Agriculture uses 3x the amount of water as everyone else in California, including industry. Complaining about immigration in this context shows you either don't understand what's happening, you are more interested in blaming various groups of people for your problems, or you are simply an idiot. Pick one.
Well, you can sit here loudly proclaiming your ignorance as if it's something to be proud of, or you can educate yourself, answering your question and preventing more unfortunate outbursts which tarnish your reputation further.
You might also want to learn that Arizona started the year unusually dry, but it should leave its drought conditions in April. But whatever - don't let facts get in the way of an insane rant against Maoists! They're simply everywhere, didn't you know? Scary! Boo!
You're incredibly wrong. Droughts are caused by a lack of precipitation in an area. That's it. What causes that lack of precipitation depends on the particular instance, and can take many different forms, as weather patterns and the larger climate in general are very complicated.
Yes, the climate changes, but it's never changed this quickly before without an asteroid smacking in to the planet and killing off great swathes of the population in the process. Life didn't thrive - it bounced back over millions of years after massive chunks of the ecosystem were gouged out, taking new forms in the process.
You can think "global cooling" when you hear droughts all you want, but that simply reflects poorly on your education, not on the science which thoroughly contradicts your claims.
He was simply giving advice, albeit possibly in a rather clumsy fashion. Getting all offended by someone giving advice isn't becoming. Do you shout at cookery books for ordering you around? Slam down a good recipe because it talked to you like a Nazi? "Don't tell me how hot to set the oven!" "I'll use as many eggs as I like!" "If I want to use white phosphorous in my quiche I'll use it!"
No, it's more like someone constantly ringing your doorbell when you're trying to watch TV. You are suggesting that they just be able to blast through the front door with a shotgun in order to end the noise, instead of simply temporarily unplugging the doorbell. Lashing out is one of the reasons the US's foreign policy is not respected as much as it once was - it might send good messages to the folks back home, but it enrages the common decency of billions of other people who won't forget quite as easily, causing untold problems down the line.
Ever since you screwed the pooch with that "CCTV = charged coupled TV" nonsense, I can't take anything you write with any seriousness. Plus I think their design teams probably know more about user interface design than you do:)
"Everyone" was not talking about global cooling, just journalists. That one titbit shows you get your scientific knowledge from the press, which isn't exactly doing you a great favour. Luckily there is more than 10-50-100 years of climate data, so your initial point is worthless, not the data itself. The Earth is ~4.7 billion years old, by the way. It's pollution which is causing this, so I don't know why you think more pollution is going to help. There is so much wrong with your post I don't even.
Or maybe people are tired of leading a horse to water and have the horse deny the water even exists, while it does all it can to ensure future horses don't even get the chance.
You honestly can't sit their and with all seriousness deny that something so easy to find exists, and expect people to take you seriously. You don't want to learn, otherwise you'd not be on slashdot complaining about your ignorance - you'd be out there fixing it, like a rational human being.
Either you've already made your mind up, or you are doing the best impression of such a person I've seen in a while. You use all the right words to sound like a sceptic, but when you don't bother to accept evidence, you become a cynic.
The classic "slippery slope". All that does is let us know to not listen to you, as with that language we shouldn't have stepped foot outside our caves, as that was the first step onto the slippery slope which led us to this story. See how that works? Right: Not at all.
I wonder - if you got this easily-verified piece of information totally incorrect, what else have you misunderstood, yet keep trying to teach the world?
He's not asking for that, though, so you're being slightly unfair. He's simply asking for people to consider putting cameras in their home for their own use - to turn footage over to the police should someone break in. Getting all outraged over something like this just shows you really will do anything to get your daily outrage in.
I'm all for diversity, and I hope you're joking, as posts like yours will be co-opted by the frothing-at-the-mouth-I've-got-mine-fuck-you folks who don't realise just how lucky they've been with the genes they were dealt, as it's pure nonsense.
You are absolutely right. I'm very upset when engineers try to improve things, instead of just throwing them away the second a defect or shortcoming is identified. What a waste of time and effort, right?
Developments which increase their range or lower cost will indeed help market penetration.
But not when they're too hot. Calling this a joke when you clearly don't understand what's being discussed only serves to make you look ridiculously foolish. Without wishing to sound rude, you are the real joke here.
Because I'm sure the precise, correct number of photos to take during a vacation is precisely the number you took on that awesome vacation you took decades ago and have forever since tried to recapture the feeling of. Anything more than that is a symptom of these cursed youths destroying the society and culture you spent decades working hard to foster.
tl;dr settle down gramps. Your predecessors said the same about you, and those kids will say the same about their successors. The sooner you realise that the better off everyone will be:)
I agree with everything you said. I fear you and the person I replied to are making different points. I was merely pointing out that terrorism doesn't "belong" to any single religion - they are all equally as capable of being perverted in order to commit hideous behaviour.
You're the one who thinks a few examples of the words in question shows there was no concerted effort to stop them from being used. You seem to think the government can never make a mistake, and always gets what it wants. Which is not surprising, giving your posting history and personal beliefs.
No-one is calling for a totalitarian response, just sensible regulation the likes of which have been used in the past to mitigate environmental issues exacerbated by industry. You proffering this false dichotomy only serves to show you in the most unflattering light.
I can see why you'd want to poke at the Democrats, but to mention her gender seems ridiculous. Are you really that far gone that you think her gender matters at all in this discussion, and accidentally just showed everyone you're a bigot? It seems like it.
The climate scientists have had a very good record. The claims of inaccuracies are frequently overblown by people who simply disagree with the outcomes, not the methodology involved. The "science has become politicized!" cry is just complaining that science has shown various people, industries, and their buddies being dicks to everyone else, and caught them out. Someone shouldn't have to spell this out to you.

You just discovered "being reasonable". Well done! You did it!
And whose fault is that? Should science use only terminology you and your ilk can understand, slowing progress to a snail's pace in the process, or should you educate yourself so you can participate in these discussions (and life in general) like an adult?
Questions, questions...

Vendor stores like Google, for example? So what you're basically saying is:
"There are no apps, apart from all the apps!"

And your HOSTS solution still can't block inline spam, such as every single post you make, something your competitors most certainly can do.
You're so cool! Wow! *swoons*
