    Australia is guilty of similar neglect with the lack of assistance to Assange.

    Help him with what, exactly? The man is on the run from a rape accusation. I don't know of many countries that will help you out with that.

    Yes, but there are no EMPs inside a melted-down nuclear reactor. An EMP is a side effect of a nuclear explosion at certain altitudes inside the atmosphere. This is about ionising radiation directly affecting microscopic transistors.

    Greatest, or at least just about in the top thirty on most benchmarks of living standards!

    Actually, the "whole world" mostly agrees that Trump is a somewhere between an incompetent buffoon and a despicable nazi. It's only your little echo chamber in the US that thinks different.

    No, the product was 100% transformative. It was completely different from any that came before it, and it was copied by everyone who came after, because it did what people wanted much better than anything anybody had tried before. This is the very definition of a transformative product, and denying requires blinding yourself intentionally.

    Sure, it had good marketing. But good marketing may get you one sale. A good product is what gets you the second and third, and there have been many second and third sales of iPhones.

  14. None of what you said makes any sense.

  15. Your description applies 100% to MOND, with the added disclaimer that it doesn't get the correct results.

    MOND is one of the many theories that have tried and failed to explain all the anomalous results we have collected over the years. MOND is basically completely discredited at this point, and dark matter is the most simple and elegant theory we have to explain all the results we have.

  17. Re:Dark Matter is a horrible kludge on Vera Rubin, Pioneering Astronomer Who Confirmed Existence of Dark Matter, Dies At 88 (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 2

    MOND has long since been proven to be nonsense. It's an eve worse kludge, that explains only a few of the many distinct problems that are all solved by dark matter.

    MOND is by far the less elegant solution than dark matter.

  18. 1) there is no proof of the existence of dark matter.

    And the Bullet Cluster is...?

    Similarly, we shouldn't lock murderers up, we should join in them in their murder sprees, while trying to convince them to stop murdering, or at least murder a little bit more nicely.

    I am extremely outraged about things done by big businesses and governments.

    But I also so dearly, dearly wish I could wholeheartedly support Greenpeace without being a hypocrite. But I can't. I really want to, but I can't.

    They lie and they deceive, and they oppose things that are objectively speaking both good for the environment, and absolutely necessary in order to prevent catastrophe.

    I just really, really wish they got their act together. Or that somebody better came along to take up the cause.
