In our digital era, if it weren't for Google to offer Search, emails, video streaming, maps, etc... another company would do it. With that in mind, the question becomes: which company offers these services in the greenest way ? I'm pretty sure Google does.
If you were to read a how-to on a blog about configuring a router using a GUI, it would take a few pages. If it were about configuring a router using a CLI, it would fit in one page.
Bottom line: in today's world where a forgotten command can be remembered quickly using our friend Google, I much prefer CLI because it makes me read less, and do more.
It's funny because now it's all over the news here in Québec, and pseudo-experts are trying to explain *how* to secure one's computer. Don't you guys understand that Windows *is* insecure!
The people who got hacked are facing a maximum of 10 years in prison but with Québec's system, they really do 1/6 of this time so it's not that bad..
Yes, this is a miracle. What's also beautiful is that her parents did not have to sell the house to afford her treatments because in Canada, IT'S FREE!!
To me that ranks right up there explanation-wise with "ok...there was nothing, and then God spoke the world/universe into existance and set the laws of nature into motion.
There you go. How can a person, or a "God", be responsible for the creation of something as complex as the Universe? It is a total non-sense! I mean, the Big Bang is the beginning of a series of events that created the Universe and its laws. It's physics. You just cannot have someone who decided all this. And why explaining human beings and all living creatures with creationism? It is not a creation, it is an evolution. As far as you can go back, there always was an ancestor before you. Up to a point where life (organic compounds) spawed off inorganic precursors (Miller-Urey Experiment.
Anyways, there are so many obivous flaws in the creationism that it simply loses all its credibility as a possible avenue to understanding our complex world.
Oops, maybe I did not understand that this was a joke, or humor because of my prejudice towards Americans. But it just sounded like a closed-minded comment that you hear quite often from Americans. I like Americans, though. I'm not putting them all on the same boat. But him, I would probably have moments of laughter if we talked about something else than politics and how we would manage a country.
I understand better now why most of the people in the world hate Americans. I once was in South America and there was an American yelling at and dissing everyone. He also insulted my country, our way of living, and I wanted to him to meet my 5 brothers. My friend told me not to hit him, for he would get beaten up by the locals, somehow. And he did, the very same night. The next day, at the hostel, he had a broken nose and swollen lips. It was a precious moment.
Now your comment. I'm not from France, by the way. You can have your opinions but your disrespect towards the French insults me. Watch out when no country will want to sell you guys gas to fill up your Hummers. There are other countries in the world that have flourishing economies and support the poors with free medicare, housing, and insurance. That's called a "balanced" country, a country that has a conscience. Not a country like yours that only thinks in terms of making profits and invading others because there is money to be made. Anyways, I don't even know why I take the time to write those lines, you're an american.
Yeah, you're right, that was thrown out spontaneously. But I wonder if the impact of a bomb, in terms of CO2, compared to that of a huge city would not balance out in the long run...
These situations make me embrace the idea of Québec's independance from Canada. The companies have much less influence on the Québec government than Canada's.
Isn't it normal that the price of a CD, a fairly technology back in 1983, was expensive? We pay 33$ for the DVD of an artist, but now we've got the whole tour on TV, along with the album. I don't think you can extrapolate in time the price of a technology...

Dropping a nuclear bomb every once in a while on a large cosmopolitan city would definitely do the job...
In may work in mice, but it may not apply the same for humans...

Ahah!! Well said!
