Errr... it's not so simple as that. This isn't a company protesting this, it's a government. They have representation in the GAC ("government advisory committee") which gives them more leverage than most companies.
"If the UN was in charge of the internet we almost certainly wouldn't have had the stupid gTLD idea go through in the first place"
Fark yeah. And there's really no reason to use com/net/org, we have search engines now and IP addresses are good enough. I can remember 8.8.8.8 better than I can remember some of my own subdomains, So let's call the whole thing off and then there's no more trademark issues, and they're what stopped it from going live in 1996. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that your position is exactly the same as the Intellectual Property lawyers that have stalled thing stuff for 15 years but out of pedantic due diligence I do feel compelled to ask if you're you represent the interests of same in any way.
Despite all this it's still the financial capital of the world and was devolving it's empire at a time when the US was still doing the imperialist march. And you don't really see the UK dropping nukes on other countries so I'm not quite prepared to express the same righteous indignation.
Besides, given the choice of the NHS and what Americans have, even now, wadda ya think they'd really pick?
Karl Rove thinks he's Swedish and and is behind the scenes there. Add Karl Bildt and the current Neocon Swedish goverment and what, I gotta write it out in crayon for you?
I've been spending way to much time writing code for decades and I'll tell you a chair is not part of the equation. Unless it's a very fancy chair. You need to be half lying down; look at what gets written into cyberpunk novels, they're not wrong.
Sometimes you can luck out and find the right reclining leather chair that's right for your frame, laptop on your lap, wireless mouse on the arm and you're good. You can't get away with this without decent nutrition and exercise though as it's quite unnatural; vacuum 6x times a day till it hurts, and eat fish and leaves.
Snicker all you want. Try it. I can do this 16+ hours a day every day and nothing hurts.
Doesn't sound like you were there 20 years ago, that's not what I saw. Just one theory that hasn't panned out but got a lot og big-industry funding. Cause, you know, big business is nothing but concerned for the environment.
"The problem is we don't know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books — mine included — because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn't happened," Lovelock said. "The climate is doing its usual tricks. There's nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now," he said. "The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time it (the temperature) has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising — carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that," he added.' Lovelock still believes the climate is changing, but at a much, much slower pace." - from 3 months ago. But if you believe one data point changes all that or that the commonly held theories as to why are accurate than I think you have some reading to catch up on.
That's far far too simplistic to be taken seriously. It isn't like that, but if you think it is there's a whole lot of catching up you need to do before you can even talk about it; it'd be like explaining second order differentials to somebody who can't multiply. And who probably shouldn't.
No, global warming isn't a myth, you said that, not me, the climate is changing, you know like it always has? Why is another story and CO2 has about as much to do with it as putting a suitcase in your trunk then demanding more gas money from passengers for fuel.
Nor did I say smoking does't cause cancer, I said that it did along with lots of other things but that the problem wasn't that it was the inability of the body to make cellular repairs because of the lack of a precursor to an unusual reaction we just learned about.
The earth isn't flat, the ancient Greeks knew that and only the insane and deliberately obtuse pull out the flat earth thing and have for many thousands of years. But I'm sure you're not one of them.
I hope you fix whatever's bothering you and have a nice day.
I'm sorry, you seem to be unaware of what happened or don't understand biology or both because this makes no sense and is nothing to do with what happened. They do actually have books for this sort of thing.
That's the title they put on the business cards they insisted I have in the US, not even legal in Canada to say that without an actual engineering degree. I was in the faculty of Mathematics at Waterloo, because that's where the computer science department was and I wanted to be where the watfor/watfiv/apl people were, they'd bussed us from high school a few times to play with that stuff for a day there, much better than the ibm 1130 we had.
I'd say you need up to and including a year or two of calculus. And probably some physics. 80% of programming won't require this, but cubic splines, integrals, differentials, trig, queuing theory pops up in places if you're doing systems, embedded, graphics, robotics anything fun will need some math.
Having said that, as a programmer you translate somebody else needs into code and it doesn't matter if it's a uart chip or a complex mathematical formula or model, they'll explain it to you so you can implement it, really you're just translating those steps into cpu steps and at least with math there's a nice flow there, it's a joy to implement.
So, it's nice to have but as long as you can think it's not an absolute requirement. And other than this and very simple Bezier splines that's about all the math I've ever run into and I've pretty much done everything.
Along with the predictions that it would desertify except for the ones that said it would glaciate.
How are those 20 foot searise by the end of the century predictions looking?
What does the guy who said we're already past the tipping point and are going to burn feel about all this? Ok, right, he became a skeptic once he learned a bit more science.
Yeah. I gotta say I don't give much credence to people who don't even understand the big words they're using or pull the proof by authority crap, logical fallacies being what they are.

It might be fake. But if they do an upgrade that actually does something, how's the perp gonna know?
"What does sanctification confer on the water? Not a blessed thing."
Then why is it specified in the exorcism rituals?
You really don't get how silly this all sounds?
"Holy Water: Ordered a vial of water, get a vial of water
Order a Spell: Receive a piece of paper saying it was cast.
Can people really not see why EBay would treat these differently?"
The difference is, people aren't paying for a vial of water. They already have that. They're paying for magic water.

Oh. So there are no WMD. Dammit, fell for it again.
Actually they're saying 1 meter in 500 years now. And that's with about a 5% confidence factor, their most accurate guess so far.

No, we're too busy LOL'ing when Hansen opens his mouth while playing "spot the PR".
I think it's pixies but I have no proof. You?
You do realize there are fossils everywhere right? Why are you trying to be deceptive?
Ok you explain the tree ring data then.
As for the link, it doesn't seem to be what you say.
I did the same thing though, here it is: http://rs79.vrx.net/opinions/ideas/climate/fraud/climategate/
I'm sorry, you seem to be unaware of what happened or don't understand biology or both because this makes no sense and is nothing to do with what happened. They do actually have books for this sort of thing.
I'm just telling you what I saw. The math is a butt of jokes. Call them yourself to verify this. Google is your friend.
Right, the climate changed. it does that. See also "biological succession".
*cough*

Um, I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. Prove me wrong: what causes glaciation?
Meanwhile the gaia theory guy became a skeptic. THERE IS BALANCE IN THE FORCE.
Along with the predictions that it would desertify except for the ones that said it would glaciate.
