  1. Re:More condoms less climate change on World Wildlife Falls By 58% in 40 years (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    What about the fact that species die out all the time?

    Wow, the level of ignorance here is ... astounding.

    It's not species dying that's the issue. It's the *rate* that they're dying that's the issue.

    I know that may be too difficult for you to understand, but go look here and learn:

    Yeah, that's more than a bit of exaggeration.

    WWF has been accused by the campaigner Corporate Watch of being too close to businesses to campaign objectively.[31][32] WWF claims partnering with corporations such as Coca-Cola, Lafarge, Carlos Slim's and IKEA will reduce their effect on the environment.[33] WWF received €56 million (US$80 million) from corporations in 2010 (an 8% increase in support from corporations compared to 2009), accounting for 11% of total revenue for the year.[3]

    11% is not insignificant, but it's not at the level of 'greenwashing their projects' of influence.

    You'll take it up the ass and like it because we're fighting narcotics trafficking.

    I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way.

  4. we will need to fundamentally boost the intelligence of the general public (so they can smell the lies, and reject them)

    1935 Germany & 2016 USA couldn't see lies (on both sides), NOR reject them if they did see them.

    So how are we supposed to get around having assholes in power?

  5. The whole 'in order to attain power' bullshit is why the government & country is failing.

    Why do we have to be the 'best'? Why can't we just be a good country? Everything else just feeds that bullshit.

    I would think it should give us a pretty precise orbital path. Then analyze that closely.

  7. Budweiser has a very large brewery in Fort Collins. Right off I25.

    But shouldn't orbital mechanics give a decent clue as to where it is?

  9. There's almost as many Linux users as Mac, which means the Mac sample is largely being reported based on the people who explicitly requested it.

    There's no logic here.

    They may have embarked on forced migration after I left, but the numbers are based on an opt-in pilot

    Yeah, I think TFA says they have left the pilot stage.

  10. Re:How much of that is entirely Microsoft's fault on Macs End Up Costing 3 Times Less Than Windows PCs Because of Fewer Tech Support Expense, Says IBM's IT Guy (yahoo.com) · · Score: 2

    Being inflexible while IT moves forward is not a good solution. Regardless of the tech or problems.

  11. They were not self sorted. Computers were assigned by department ie finance, circulation & marketing had PCs, ads, news & prod had Macs. There were strong & weak users in every dept. So user experience is averaged out.

    It was the OS.

  12. Yes, I'm sure the 100,000 users at IBM fit perfectly into your binary selections.

    They're not self-selecting at a rate of 1300 people per week...

    The IT dept is migrating them.

    Don't act like you have more insight into IBM's support issues that the head IT guy at IBM.

  14. The only people who doubt this story are those that have never used both Windows and Mac computers extensively.

    I'd put one caveat.

    *supported Win & Mac extensively.

    I worked at a newspaper. We were 2/3 Mac, 1/3 Win. Windows users were at least half the support time, if not more.

    Who else's fault would it be that Windows requires 3x more support?

  20. Well, you're going to have a bad time in 3 weeks.

  21. I don't ever recall any presidential candidate being sued for assaulting and raping multiple teenagers multiple times.

  22. Yeah, because it's not like he hasn't already admitted sexually assaulting women.

    So, you don't believe Hillary, and you don't believe Trump.

    Why are you commenting?

  23. I guess we'll see in December when it goes to trial.

  24. So, Trump's a piece of rapist shit, but Bill did it too is your argument?

    Did that work well in middle school?

  25. He surely could have gotten his foundation to pay for it. Since they've paid for everything from the boyscouts to lawyers fees.
