How did you find the parent post, but not any of the posts declaring this proof of global warming? Do you have some kind of special search engine that filters out claims of AGW?
Java on silicon was Sun's original plan. They announced the JavaOne processor long before the JavaOne conference. It turned out that emulating java on x86 was faster than running java natively.
Correct. Printing at home should be reserved for photos that you would not want anyone else to see. If the photo isn't private. Get it done with quality equipment.
I've lost count too, but what I can count are the people I have personally known who have died of cancer, and those that have been cured. The cured out number the dead at least 5 to 1.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. If I can prevent your first step, I will have stopped the entire thousand mile journey.
A fully fleshed out cure for cancer would never be shot down in a boardroom. Something like that would be shot down on it's first steps. It would be shot down by denying funding for research that would lead to the fully fleshed out cure. Any of the millions of steps before reaching the end of the journey can be the place that the journey stops.
I'll agree with the flying part, but I have yet to see any report on gun safety that doesn't use confirmation bias when reporting that owning a gun is more dangerous than not. 99.999% of all incidents where a gun is used to thwart an intruder is never reported. Most of the time the gun owner doesn't even know it happened, or the gun that thwarted the intrusion wasn't even in the house that it thwarted the intrusion for.
What percentage of people that believe in Global Warming do you really think hold that belief because of facts? Given the very low percentage, there is a very good chance that you are not one of them.
Maybe, but the title says "Did a Copying Mistake Make Humans So Smart?" That is a lot less like saying "I missed the target by 2 inches because of a 6 MPH crosswind as opposed to a misaligned sight" and more like "Did I miss the target by making contact someplace that isn't the target?"
When Napster came out, I tried it, and within a couple of days, I found that it wasn't worth my time. On the other hand, once Sony started infecting computers with malware from music CDs, I stopped buying music at all.
I'm a huge fan of instant gratification when it comes to learning programming. Get something on the screen, and you can build from their. From that, I would say, follow the Python advice, and install XBMC. It is a fully fleshed out application in heavy use, so you don't have to (figuratively) learn metallurgy to learn automotive to learn glasswork to learn printing so that you can make a decal for your car window.
You do realize that will include every stereo system, and thus every vehicle sold in the country today, and most of them sold for the last 30 years, right?
I have a full size truck AND a Suzuki Swift. I find that people are just as polite to the small cars as they are the big ones. I have also noticed that when riding as the passengers in friends cars, the people who were the loudest complainers about other drivers were also the most aggressive and dangerous.
This is what I don't get. When my son was 1 year old, I spent 5 minutes showing him that the mouse moved the cursor on the screen, and that the menu had programs. A hour of playing and he was using the system with no problems. Another 5 minutes and he knew how to properly boot and shut down the machine. If a 1 year old child can capably use the system, it seems pretty self derogatory for anyone to claim it is difficult.
Just as bad is the claims that it is hard to install. I couple of weeks after his second birthday, I formatted his hard drive, handed him Ubuntu 5.10 and told him to install it himself. He had no problems installing it. And, no, he couldn't even read.
As you point out, just because you CAN use a command line, in no way implies that you MUST.
"Still" is not redundant it indicates that the speaker agrees with the listener on the time that has passed, but disagrees with the point that you stop calling it early.
You don't need to go to "Big Corporate America" to come up with arguments against the current vaccination policies. You only need to go to the CDC's site. The CDC itself gives the recommendation that pre-pubecent kids should get the Chicken Pox vaccine even though their own data shows that it is a bad idea. Of course, when this is pointed out, you get accused of being an "Anti-Vaxxer", a murderer out to kill babies, and incapable of seeing a benefit in the Polio vaccine.
As for the AGW. You claim that it is the skeptical people that are convinced of conspiracies, yet ignore that the people pushing the AGW idea are just as quick, if not quicker to cry "conspiracy". Just read the comments in this thread and you will see people claiming conspiracy, and how any evidence against AGW is produced by the members of the conspiracy.

Ok, that makes a lot more sense.
I would assume that "(n18)" referred to an 18 year old. Why would anyone think that "(n18)" referred to someone under 18?

How many times did your fathers house not get robbed because there were or could be guns in the house?
30 years in prison will also keep you from doing things you'd normally be able to do. Forever.

It's just too bad that the title was not compatible with what was in the body of text.

Bad middle management is a result of poor upper management skills.

Have you seen an car commercials over the last 30 years? It is a rare car that is advertised based on safe uses.

Claiming that Apple products have end user replaceable batteries are a pretty clear indication that you are a fanboy.
It doesn't help that "It's the user's fault" is still a regularly practiced mantra among the Apple devout.

People are very bad at gauging risk/reward.
