If you take the time to read through the article, you will find gems like:
Then there is the issue of acceleration. Shawyer has calculated that as soon as the thruster starts to move, it will use up energy stored in the cavity, draining energy faster than it can be replaced. So while the thrust of a motionless emdrive is high, the faster the engine moves, the more the thrust falls. Shawyer now reckons the emdrive will be better suited to powering vehicles that hover rather than accelerate rapidly.
That show the inventor is nowhere near understanding even special relativity, and is still stuck with Maxwell and the coelestial æther.
You may not know a lot about the planet's temperature cycle. Don't pretend you speak for the rest of us.
Here, learn about the planet's temperature cycles over the last 400000 years (the data record goes back more like 800000 years now, the graphic a bit old):
And the "The Web is broken and it is all your fault" thing was just a bit of humour to wake people up for this 9am talk, but I guess it makes for good headlines.
You know, if the web is broken and it's anybody's fault, it's really yours. Putting the C API for mysql right in front of a huge population of inexperienced coders is about the worst design choice I've seen in years and years. More people have shot themselves in the foot with that API than anybody can count.
I'd wager that the fact that PHP doesn't ship with a safe and reliable database API out of the box is really the biggest single cause of SQL injection attacks on the web today.
Except that in a truly free market, there is no regulatory process to control.
In a truly free market, I can amass power and wealth and create my own "regulatory process". That was kind of the point of the grandparent poster. Why is that you think only governments can coerce?
So, as I've stated in other responses, you must ignore the fact that (in the article you're commenting on) 800,000 years of data show vast (50%) swings in CO2 concentration without human intervention, but human produced CO2 must be causing the current warming trend of the last three decades/12 decades/future 10 decades (based on your current belief).
Wow, that's some argument there. Look, the whole point of the data is that in 800,000 years, the CO2 concentration has only swung by 50%. This fact is the absolute core of the whole issue! Nobody is ignoring it but you!

And if they do, how does that hurt anyone? If they wanted to contribute back, they would anyway. If they didn't, they wouldn't use the GPL'd code.
Enough said.

See that spike? Over on the left? What do you figure that is?
He did not mis-read. They say exactly what he read it as. Maybe they meant something else, but that is not what they actually wrote.
Here, let me help you parse the replies to your questions:
No, no, no, no, no, no and no.
So basically "eye candy" means "skins and transparency"? That'd be pretty awesome, in 1996.

the web is "broken" independant of the language used.
Well, you know, most langauges make it quite easy to protect yourself against this.
Most language, that is, except for PHP, which expects users to understand and use functions like "mysql_real_escape_string()".

I'm sure Adobe will be devastated to learn that they have earned the ire of people who use IRC commands in lieu of real words.
Wow. I didn't think the kind of people who say "micro$hit" actually existed. I always thought they were a myth, to scare kids with.

I am not interested in the "last word" game, and your so-called discussion bores me to tears. Now go away.
That was a completely made-up theoretical scenario, which has been repeated over and over again as if it was actually happening.
Yeah, it's as negligable as a 0.1% rise in sea levels.
And the fact that your "50% swing" argument wasn't your main argument doesn't make it any less invalid.

Just look at the diagram, OK?

Yes, obviously proving himself right on the Internet is far more important than having a job.
Thank you for doing TiVo's marketing work for them, and turning friendly conversation into ad space little by little.
The innovation is that this time, it's actually usable.
You really have no idea what the word "troll" really means, do you?
No, it would have been a troll if I had been talking about Ayn Rice and her famous vampire book "Atlas Shrugged".
This is just plain making fun of the naïvete of libertarians and other free-market idealists.
Remember, kids, governement regulation is BAD! In a free market corporations always do what is best for their customers thanks to LIBERTARIAN MAGIC!
Yes, supporting Safari is roughly equivalent in terms of workload to porting a huge application to another OS.
