Then the terrorists will just get people called "Tom Whiteguy" who look like carpet salesmen from Wisconsin and your pathetic knee-jerk racist reaction will be shown as the farce it is.
There is a third type, too: People who are so convinced of their brilliance, but who are woefully ignorant of the science at hand. That mixture of arrogance and ignorance can cause people to deny something very obvious and spout all kinds of nonsensical ramblings in their own defence. There are plenty in this very discussion.
It's called "an overwhelming body of evidence, which some people ignore on ideological grounds".
It's not an echo chamber, it's science. If someone can demonstrate AGW is not happening, they will find fame and fortune in these exact same institutions. They will be lauded and given wealth and opportunity beyond measure.
All your examples are just ignorance of what the scientists are actually talking about and what they're doing. Blaming them for that is, well, ridiculous. Judging from what you've written you have a lot of knowledge of this subject missing, so no wonder you get so confused. It would look like a scam to me, too, if I knew as little as you do on the subject. I don't mean to sound rude, but there is simply no other way to put it.
The fact you will ignore scientific discoveries because they sound weird to you and confuse the evening news with scientific journals speaks more of your grasp of science than any science in particular.
And yes, people who actively deny scientific findings (using a medium born from the same method) will usually garner criticism, and rightly so. The irony is palpable.
You seem to be in the "I don't understand it, but from my limited personal experience and assumption of knowledge I'm pretty sure it'll be fine" camp.
Anything that helps reduce your heating bills is fine with you? So you'd be fine with someone murdering you then, as that will lower your bills to 0 indefinitely - clearly there are limits to what you'd accept to lower your bills. Hyperbole aside, the warming you are experiencing comes with a price, and that price is a lot more than your heating bills. No-one is denying the climate hasn't changed in the past, only that when it has changed this quickly we weren't around to experience it, and that a climate change will mess up humanity's requirements from the land - such as farming where we have the suitable land, infrastructure, and skills to make use of it. Our crops are also suited to our current climate - more CO2 and heat will cause lower staple crop yields, and make pests more dangerous to the crops.
But I guess you can ignore all the science, focus on your temporary heating bill dip, and be happy. That's easier and doesn't require all this horrible thinking.
How are they supposed to take care of it when the world's powers are engaged in a proxy war between an entrenched dictator and well-armed groups. It's all well and good asking why they don't stay, but it only takes a few seconds to figure out why. There is sweet fuck-all they can do.
You are confusing Islam with fundamental Islam. Doing so makes you indistinguishable from a lazy xenophobe.
Your argument would make sense if the only difference between Syria and Europe was Islam. Clearly all the violence and bombings and fucked-up economy etc. are not the same as in Europe, so your "logic" is a farce, only proving your desire to leap to conclusions which bolster your pre-existing hatred, or your complete lack of logical ability. Neither is particularly becoming. I guess if you and your family were living in a place which had attacks of the magnitude we saw on Friday every single day, you'd probably want to move your family out. These people are doing that, and you not only fail to recognise why they are moving, but decide to inject your own messed-up understanding of religion and intolerance onto them, when that's the last thing in the world they need or deserve.
I'd say lazy xenophobia is worse than Nazis, as that's what brought the Nazis to power, and it's apparently something you are a great fan of.
You suck as a human being, and I wish you a full recovery.
It's not tribal warfare. It's far from tribal warfare. It's a battle of ideologies. Saying it's tribes ignores the real reasons groups like these get together, which ensures it will happen again.
You have no idea. It shouldn't really be a surprise, but every time you open your mouth (keyboard?) and let everyone know you have no idea it still stuns - surely someone would know that they are exposing their ignorance for all to see.
Your understanding of Iraq and Saddam Hussein would be laughable, were the topic not so brutal.
That's precisely what this is all about - stopping public funding for it.
It does cause problems, though. If you believe it works, you end up spending money on nonsense instead of medicine which actually works. That's pretty dangerous.
Translation: I have nothing else in my life, so I will moan and gripe about people on Slashdot, and try to hawk my old, tired, outclasses software in the most obnoxious manner, attracting notoriety and scorn in the process.
That is not used everywhere, as some people find that putting things inside quotes which are not being quoted is, well, sick:) By "some people" I mean programmers and British English speakers.
You are picking a common factor and ignoring the others. If we want to play the "try and guess their motives using our limited understanding of their psyches" sure you're right. If we actually want to understand the issue, then you are massively wrong. If your point had any merit every single Muslim the world over would be murdering people. As they are not, you are clearly wrong. And a douche. Well played.
If by "deal with them" you mean discuss their grievances, I totally agree. If their grievances are valid, deal with them. If they are not, you've just shown their cause to be completely without merit. The British took a long time to realise that they had to talk with the terrorists (thanks, Maggie, for delaying that as long as possible!). Once that happened, the Brits realised the republicans' grievances were legitimate, and afterwards both sides worked towards peace, both losing political clout in the process, but gaining peace.
ISIS's grievances are absolutely bogus, but it's a terrible idea to lump all terrorism together - the methods all suck horrifically, but some causes are better than others.
You are ignoring every other factor in the equation and focussing on some very visible characteristics, then ravaging what sanity was left by heaping on confirmation bias. This is how xenophobes and racists come to the conclusions they do.
If what you said is true, then the millions of Muslims living around the world would be running around killing everyone. As there are over 1.6 billion Muslims, we'd all be dead. As you are reading this, that's proof enough that you are wrong, and woefully ignorant to the point of xenophobia.
Then according to you ~20% of the people on the plane were innocent. It's not as if 100% of Russians support Putin 80%. You are either absolutely terrible at understanding statistics, or a massive evil twat.
Iran are not "nearly nuclear". They have shown no interest in nuclear weapons with their program. The Ayatollah has issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons in their hands. Mossad don't believe them to be trying to make nuclear weapons, and the CIA and SIS ('MI6') agree.
The poll you cited was of 900 people. 900 people out of 1,600,000,000 does not an accurate sample make. You can not possibly cast such dispersions with such a small sample. The fact you have done so kind of makes the rest of your conclusions look ridiculously flawed, as anyone who would jump to such judgements without sufficient evidence is practically indistinguishable from fundamentalists in this regard, as it's a game they play too.
The NHS said in 2010 that homeopathy doesn't work. They want this decision.
Politicians aren't making medical decisions - they are enforcing the will of the doctors & medical institutions paid for by the people. This has nothing to do with public opinion.
There are active ingredients in the flu vaccine (which make your body build up antibodies for the real flu virus). In a homeopathic remedy there is just sugar and water - the "like" that started out in the potion is no longer there, as the successive dilations have very likely removed every single atom of it from the resulting water.
If homeopaths could demonstrate their remedies work better than placebos, they would be used. As they can't (after decades of trying), people are quite obviously fed up with their nonsense and the money wasted on said nonsense.
Doctors are still allowed to prescribe placebos. The placebos just have to be actual cheap placebos, not massively-marked-up sugar pills from water wizards with all sorts of promises that simply aren't true.

It gets problematic when the intended library is vulnerable to the malicious payload. If libpng, for example, was broken and decided to arbitrarily execute a malicious payload hidden within the PNG's otherwise-valid data, your approach is just what the attacker wants - get this file parsed by the vulnerable library.
To combat this, it's a pretty common method for web uploads to be sent directly to a virtual machine which runs a locked-down OS which can be periodically reset, which performs a raft of tests on the accepted file types. As most file uploads are of limited types (i.e. you won't be uploading a tax return file to YouTube) it limits the amount of work required to ensure the file is clean (by thoroughly scanning it).

Of course it does. Steering is acceleration, and clearly necessary to avoid crashing.
We are attempting to discuss something far more important than some fuckwit's shitty hosts software.
