How about they study pollution and find a way to stop the billions of tonnes of garbage that still get dumped into our landfills and seas every year? Won't pollution and deforestation will kill and harm us a whole lot more than a few simple degree changes in our atmosphere?
I'm sorry, but isn't getting sick with dieases like cancer from a contaminated environment deserving more funding for research than climate research? Why are they getting all that attention and research dollars? Are we being played into fools to keep on looking up at the sky at the weather instead of the ground we're standing on and the quality of air we breath?
Quoted for Truth! I've been saying this for years. The EPA should concentrate on pollution. The researchers should concentrate on how what we dump in the oceans comes back to affect our health. The regulators and congress should be encouraging Nuclear and energy sources that don't fund terrorism and won't run out in the next century.
Politicians (especially liberals) like to rephrase arguments and then shoot down the rephrasing. Your straw man argument is weak. No true resistance exists saying that the climate is not changing. Instead, if you were not completely disingenuous and full of shit you would realize the real argument is over how much human activity affects climate change. I personally thing it only affects it slightly with some things we do causing local cooling (aeresols for example being well researched) and some things we do causing warming.
My problem is that people attack CO2 like some kind of evil in and of itself. Remember that it needs to exist to sustain life. The better stance is to attack pollution (which has almost no positive externalities) and to move away from foreign dependance on oil ( because it supports terrorism, and it will eventually run out) and to look for less polluting and more sustainable energy sources like Nuclear.
Wait, who have you ever heard say that humans are the only thing affecting climate? I have literally never ever heard that, except perhaps from deniers mis-characterizing their opponents.
Fantastic shrilling there. I mean really, A+! However for me the only thing I care about are four counties (each bigger then most states) which include Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino. In THOSE counties the AT&T reception is SHIT! I had ATT for years and I lost track of the dropped calls. I once spent 2 hours on hold to complain about reception in my dorm room at a Cal State college and when I got a rep (after two fucking hours on hold) they wouldn't take the complaint because I was not the main account holder!
Needless to say the whole family switched to Verizon and never looked back. I have not lost a call yet and Verizon is rolling out an LTE 4G network that will allow Global compatability in all their phones. Basically if you live in Southern California then you know that ATT can suck it and Verizon is king.
Talk about ignorance. Just because you don't understand the cloud does not mean you should attack it. First off, you can locally back up everything on Google. Secondly, Apple has a cloud. Third... aw this is a waste of time...
How this got modded up is beyond me. The is the most thinkly veiled attack on conservatism to date on Slashdot. This post has nothing to do with facts or observations but instead is based in biggoted ideas and wrong stereotypes brought to their own ugly conclusions.
I would argue that the opposite is true. Families brought up in a conservative house with Christian principles are more likely then not to encourage a good education and motivate their children to become productive members of society. I will not stoop to the level of saying that families lacking these principles will not do the same thing. However I will submit that I have personally met some very unmotivated people in my life and when I ask those people what their beliefs are it turns out they have none or they cherry pick whatever is in vogue at the moment.
Most importantly, people of faith and conviction are taught to question the order of things. Remember that Christs followers are always in the minority even when it appears not. This is because when left to their own devices people choose self over right. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
To say that the conservative and Religious are the mindless sheep is to turn reality on its head; to call black, white; to call light dark; and to consequently get trampled at the next Zebra Crossing.
If the BUY is a limit order then the buy will only go through for the shares at the price recorded. Why not force all orders to convert to limit orders once initiated so that the buyer can't be screwed?
Actually besides missing a lot of viruses my problem with ClamAV or ClamWin was the false positives that would quarantine critical system files making computers unbootable.
You missread the parent. They are not saying they are entitled to anything from anyone. They are however entitled to ONE thing. Know what that one thing it? Its an opinion! And do you know how consumers vote with their opinion? They take their hard earned cash somewhere else. Slashdot is carrying on a morally bankrupt business decision by redirecting HTTPS to HTTP without any notification. A BETTER solution which would not cost them any money and only about five minutes of configuration would be to ask if that person was a subscriber and if they were not to then WARN them that they were about to send all their information over an unencrypted pipe. Once again, this solution would cost Slashdot NOTHING except maybe.5 man hours.
The part of the patent posted in the article looks like the end. That's like patenting a Bicycle by saying it's a device with two wheels and some pedels which you can power to transport you places. Obviously that kind of patent would make not sense and there can be an infinite amount of bicycle designs which acheive the same goal but don't copy each other or rip each other off. In this case I highly doubt that Facebook actually took any code or even any major functionality from PlanetAll. I mean that's giving Facebook way too much credit. Basically Facebook was a dead technology until they went and merged a hack of Twitter's timeline in with their social networking system. Until they did that they didn't stand out from the pack at all.
Unfortunately(or fortunately) once a person writes out a threat (even if its in a riddle within a haiku) that constitutes a crime because you are stating your intentions to harm someone. Now in this case it was a little ambiguous but let this be warning. You cannot go around making fake threats against peoples lives on the Internet and just go along with your life like nothing happened. If you do it, you will be arrested.
Well as a corrallary to that I'd say that being able to have impact with no real life consequenses is good for teaching people how to handle crashes. You see by default most people give up and lose control completely upon impact. With training though you learn that impact is not the end of the world. Its how you adjust the impact angle to lessen the impact and then how you control the car after impact that matter the most.
Not true. Take the corner of Jamboree and Edinger for instance. It was raining (this happens in regular driving from time to time) and another driver was trying to cut in front of me (this also happens in regular driving) and the corner is off-camber (when I find that civil engineer, the talking he's going to get...) and so I beat the car to the corner but subsequently went into the corner too fast. Trigger oversteer (my car usually understeers but not in the rain on an off-camber corner) and so I had to countersteer and slowly apply the throttle to straighten the car or the car would have spun all the way around. So in conclusion, you are wrong and you really should never speak in absolutes unless you are absolutely sure.
Great! That's just what we need. A whole nation of people strung out on cocaine all the time. Maybe when the price of cocaine comes down Coca-Cola will sneak it back into the recipe.
Yes, you are totally right. I mean it's not like Afghanistan was ever at war before in their history! They were a country never in conflict and always at peace. (end sarcasm) Actually it was the other way around. In the last several decades the "peaceful years" could be counted on one hand. The Coalition forces definitely try to avoid casualties of innocents as much as possible as it hurts the long term goals of the operation there. The same could not be said for the various opposing forces. For them the more chaos the better.
If that is true and not just made up then why is it that France is building new Nuclear plants all the time? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Nuclear_Power Are you saying the French are better then us at something? Are you saying the French insurance companies know something the US based ones do not? Come on people. Just actually do some research and then stop making shit up when you oppose Nuclear Power on Slashdot. Nuclear is done correctly with new technology actually has the potential to REDUCE the amount of Nuclear waste we have and at the same time can be designed to be passively safe meaning in the event of a complete power failure the system would still not go critical. Now I can honestly say I want Nuclear Power and I WANT it in my own backyard.
This IS Slashdot right? Let's look at the technical limitations here. As long as your ISP does not block DNS requests then you can use any DNS provider you want and therefore bypass any redirection. If an ISP started blocking the use of other DNS server then I'd say it's time to jump ship.

I Know right! I mean that crazy Al Gore just won't stop!
Appeal to experts is a logical fallacy. Look it up. Also read the sections on experts in Freakonomics. It will blow your mind.
Wait, who have you ever heard say that humans are the only thing affecting climate? I have literally never ever heard that, except perhaps from deniers mis-characterizing their opponents.
Bullshit! First result on google.com http://environment.about.com/od/faqglobalwarming/f/globalwarming.htm
Notice that there is no mention of the fact that some warming is happening because WE ARE COMING OUT OF AN ICE AGE! Fucking Morons!

Thank you for that one data point in a sea of porn. I know of two data points which do require flash.

Which is why I shoot my HD with my Canon 5D Mark II so it doesn't have to interpolate.

Yep. Yet another reason I installed a Radiant Barrier in my house's attic.

Exactly! The lack of Blu-ray in their "Superdrive" and the bump in price make this product obsolete the second it was introduced.
Well yes, the Mac Mini is not expandable. However the Firewire800 port is good for about 90% of the storage cases.
