Likely not. AGW pseudo-skeptics aren't big on reading at all. The Koch Brothers give them all the information they'll ever need. AGW pseudo-skeptics are like Creationists, and frequently invoking nearly identical arguments. Stupidity and dishonesty can be remarkably cyclical.
Only because Satan likes iPhones. We all know that iPhones are the work of the Devil, and that hellfire awaits those who buy iPhones. Throw yours away, brother. Don't be sucked into the Devil's evil plot! Buy Android, the smartphone for the Righteous!
They sold off lots of assets. They created a positive cash flow, which is not the same thing as turning a profit. They will almost certainly lose money next year.
Chen has been playing a smoke and mirrors game, but already in the last few weeks dropped the biggest hint, that BB is somehow going to use its patent portfolio, and we all know what that means.
Oh fuck off. QNX isn't even the most prevalent RTOS out there. It's an outdated OS that BB has utterly mismanaged, along with everything else.
At this point, it is completely irrelevant what BB does. In fact, it's been completely irrelevant for half a decade now. The company was fucked five years ago, it was fucked four years ago, it was fucked three years ago, it was fucked two years ago, it was fucked last year, it's fucked this year, it will be fucked next year, and probably in the next year or two will transform itself into a patent troll.
What if you simply believe that the device is utter fucking bullshit and that anyone who advocates its use is either a fucking retard or unspeakably evil and should be taken out and beaten until their brains come out their nostrils?
Yes, goddamit, I want to know "why is fish?" and if Microsoft's shitty assistant can't answer question, well Microsoft's programmers are all fucking incompetents who should be forced to work licking grease of the floor at McDonalds.
Actually, I felt that way after spending half a day trying to figure out why the fuck WinRM can't listen on the port provided to it by a Group Policy. "Why is Microsoft?" is probably a better question.
It isn't fucking stealing at all. The content provider is putting up the content without a paywall. That I choose not to load all the elements of that page is not stealing, so I utterly reject the underlying assertion.
Quite frankly, if there is a Hell, then every marketer who has ever lived is either already getting Satan's trident up the ass, or should be preparing for an eternity of "sponsored rectal content".
No application we can think of. That's like someone mocking the guys making frogs' legs jump with electrical current in the 18th century. "Oh yes, very interesting, but so what?" And yet, within a half a century or so of those first gimmicky experiments with electricity, we had built the first high speed data network in history, revolutionizing, well, just about everything, and within a few decades of that we were replacing gas lights with light bulbs, people were using welding machines to build large steel structures and that changed, well, everything.
There really is no way you can stick a long term price tag on basic research. Right now, figuring out what lies beyond the Standard Model is an interesting abstraction. But in fifty years, or a hundred years of us cracking that code, who the hell knows what we'll be building? Exotic materials, new propulsion systems, new communications systems, who knows? If the last five hundred years of scientific research has taught us anything, it's that science is the field out of which technical innovation is grows, and basic research is the fertilizer.
Exactly my thought. With supersymmetry now in trouble, it does open the door for other theories that could be tested at energy levels that really aren't out of our technical capability.
Besides, there's still a decent chance that LHC is going to find a smoking gun around Dark Matter, so I'm thinking that there is lots of science left for it to do.

Any fact that can cause a loss in profits for a corporation is an unreliable fact.

They hung and imprisoned Nazis and Japanese for "following orders". Behaving ethically and morally is not optional. Period.
Exactly! The only question before us is whether the defenders of the sociopaths who run companies are sociopaths themselves, or just simpering morons.
A large majority of Texans and Albertans think having a cowboy hat makes you a cowboy.
I think it may be some sort of Wall Street Porn. You know, "Ass Pirates of Madison Avenue..."
They're authoritarian morons, like most politicians and government officials in the security theater industry. Simpering, contemptible, evil morons.

Don't muck with powerful magic, heathen.
Are HeLa cells human?

And in other news, Holocaust Deniers have redefined "gas chamber mass killings" as "accidental death due to choking..."
Ah, so you're not witty, you're just a fucking moron.
So a lot like RIAA's members then.
Which is more than you can say for Ashley Madison customers.
Can't all the fake dating sites just get along? Let's all try to remember why we got into this business; to rip off lonely men.
Mission accomplished.

Translation: Microsoft hopes that Dell can move the piles of unsold Surface inventory that is collecting dust.
Firefox paved the way for absurd version numbering schemes. What are they up to now, version 4004?
