It's not that simple (I'm not going to explain). But I guess you like having simplified looks on things.
Let me redefine the scenario, in that case: There is a breakable glass sphere. Inside it is a device which, if the glass sphere is broken, will trigger a nuclear bomb(possibly through some wi-fi signal, the exact method of detonation isn't the point here, the effects are, that's why I'm saying you're dodging the issue ). If it falls, you don't pick it up, then throw it to the ground as an 'experiment'. Which is what this sun-blocking is doing.
Where is the wholesale slaughter in stopping the planet from overheating?
When all of your green plants die and the CO2 levels rise even more, you won't be asking me that.
Your reaction the same as people who said 'dont sail too far', because they would seriously be afraid that thought you would fall off the (flat) planet.
Nobody thought the world was flat since before Aristotle, and in those days, people always sailed near land and were afraid of even being in the middle of the Mediterranean not because they'd fall off but because everyone who did got lost. Columbus wasn't trying to prove the world is round(fscking 3rd-grade-level education) but that the world was smaller than it actually was(He believed the distance between Europe and Asia was around what the actual distance is between Europe and the 'New World'). Now who's oversimplifying things?
Or (back in the day when they started building trains) the people who were afraid that trains would make the milk in their cows sour.
I haven't heard anything about that, and a Google search for 'trains sour milk' turned up nothing referencing that. May I please have a source?
If anything, the closest metaphor would be the very complex issue of developing the nuclear bomb to strike Japan. Except that we already have a good method to fix this which doesn't have the problems a full-scale invasion of Japan would--reduce CO2 emissions and plant more trees. Blocking out the sun will fix global warming the same way a nuclear winter will fix global warming.
Okay, just put a starter bomb(i.e. one that *does* explode when it falls, and is powerful enough to set off the nuke--yes, those do exist, for a fusion bomb it's a fission bomb) on the nuke to set it off. Stop dodging the issue.
And I was using Mengele to make a point that experiment is not an excuse for wholesale slaughter. For the record, I support experimentation with, for example, stem cells. Do points fly over your head this much?
There has to be at least one who writes internal Geek Squad software. My only direct experience with Geek Squad is software to remove some crap called U3 off my USB stick.
If you accidentially knock something breakable containing a nuclear bomb from the table, you catch it, and then you don't drop it again.
There are limits to experimentation. That's all I'll say.
I'd rather be a quitter than dead.
Great walls are never great. Look at Berlin as well. And now look at what we're trying to do in America. Every 'great wall' becomes a tourist attraction.
Name me one Linux distribution with a desktop monopoly who is using their desktop monopoly to gain a monopoly in the market for media players and browsers. And Microsoft didn't open up a single document. They opened up NDA-infested code designed to be specifically useless.
Don't leave out the virus writers. As soon you you show the EU this information, the virus writers will also have it.
Why doesn't the opensource community, which should obviously be at a disadvantage in this regard according to you, have bugs and such corrected much quicker than Microsoft, and why do open crypto algorithms have less holes than the closed ones?
Microsoft has a superior operating system. That is why they control over 90% of the desktop market.
No, they control 85% of the desktop market because they got lucky with IBM. That's the computer equivalent of winning the lottery.
Why punish them for making it better? That must be a socialist ideal.
Why not punish them for screwing us over(which is what they're doing)? That seems to be a propertarian ideal.
And if anyone asks again why Microsoft Vista is going to be so expensive, you know. The EU just wants to get their hands in the pot.
Oh, please. Windows was expensive even before the anti-trust rulings in the US. Microsoft is too greedy.

Whatever happened to the 186? Why do you hear of 286, 386, 486, and 586, but never 186?
You can do it with a crowbar as well. The geeks are the ones thinking of Gordon Freeman.

Or just, you know, add a compatibility layer.
Most vacation time of any president.
I never get modpoints anyways. So there would be no effect.

No, Gentoo has an advantage because they don't have to deal with the kludge of binary packages.

He also invented Mars.
It's like the Daleks. Only recently did they learn how to climb stairs.
Which is why only Sith deal in absolutes.
They have to pay everything from March 2004 to today. That's over two billion.
Apparently, Gene Ray needs to be afraid. Very afraid.
I knew Stargate was filmed in Vancouver, I didn't know if Babylon 5 was though.
You do know they don't like being called that, right?

No, Mao actually at least *tried* to make things better.
Except that that isn't even funny. That isn't even in the same area code as funny.
Except one thing: The peasants may have guns now, but the knights and footsoldiers have tanks, which the peasants can't afford, pure and simple.

That it's not really convenience or such, I believe.
