It's just a philosophical difference. Other nations prefer catch-and-release; they say it's more sporting. Whereas in the US they like to keep what they catch.
Yeah, nail the crazy bitch. Great idea. That way instead of just accusing you of harassment after you piss her off, she can accuse you of rape instead. Genius!
Well the original numpty was complaining that he's been hearing these predictions since the 1970s, so that seems like a decent starting point. Go ahead and plot that. Afterwards maybe go back to 1917 and see what the trend has been like over the last 100 years. And after you're done with that, follow the link on that page and have a look at the change in storm intensity over the years.
You know, have a look at as much data as you can, instead of cherry picking just the bits which confirm what you want to believe.
If "Race covers all three of those groups" because "it's a loosely used word", then the original dipshit saying that people are "racist against Russians" is equally correct. Since, you know, it's a loosely used word.
I understand that there are millions of morons who misuse the word; that does not magically legitimise it.
No, not necessarily. There are a lot of people out there who are just plain stupid. Alex Jones actually eats his own horse shit, for example.
Alex Jones is a bad example. In a court case a while back he basically stated that none of the stuff he says should be taken seriously because he's just an actor playing a character.
Now you can chock that down to just being a legal strategy to get him off the hook, but I think it's probably one of the only honest things he's ever said. I'm sure he believes some of the bullshit he spews, but I'm equally sure that there are a lot of things which he knows are bullshit but says them anyway because they play well with his fans.
I'm aware that they're subsidiaries of the big three, but that doesn't really mean much.
I was with virgin until they got bought out by Bell. Within a year their website went to shit, their service got worse, and their prices started going up. So I left.
I use Fido now; though they're owned by Rogers and run over the same network, their prices are customer service reps are both far better than Rogers. As such I don't really care who they're owned by.
There's no way to actually calculate a "per transaction" energy usage, so what they have done here is said "OK, the entire network uses X electricity per day, and on average there are Y transactions per day, therefore each transaction uses X/Y electricity."
Of course the reason the network uses so much electricity is that the vast majority of the machines on the network are competing to try and mine coins. Processing transactions is essentially just a side-business to them. Combine that with the fact that transaction volume is pretty low, and you end up with scary looking "house-days" numbers.
The other guy is right, you're seriously twisted. The shit you're saying is just complete nonsense, and makes you sound deranged. You may as well be standing on a street corner yelling "Anti-virus vendors don't want to CURE your computer! It's a huge business! They just want to 'manage' the viruses!!!!"
You can rant and rave about "revenue streams" and "cures" all you like, but at the end of the day all you're saying is that you don't really understand economics, you don't know a thing about medicine, and you have some strange obsession with trying to make doctors look evil.
I haven't used any of those in a decade or more. I was with Koodo and Virgin for a while, now I'm with Fido. And my bill is currently the lowest it's ever been; just $15 a month for 3 gigs of data.
Yes, most Canadians are with one of the "big three", but that's to be expected... that's why they're the big three. Doesn't mean you can't shop around.
..this common sense approach to curing diabetes to be fully debunked by the Medical Industrial Complex. Those profiting from this affliction wouldn't have it any other way.
As much as I love watching you conspiracy tards go off on your rants, you may want to stop and consider the fact that the medical community has been telling people for decades to stop getting fat because it causes type 2 diabetes, amongst other health problems.
If you believe that the CIA cares any more about your life than the KGB does, it's safe to say that you're either nuts, or you're planning to blow up a target in the US.

That's a whole lot of probably's for a "certain sighting".
Sounds like the perfect opportunity for me to gobble up market share by releasing my new line of poison free water.
You're confused. It's actually pretty awesome that people are living long enough for heart disease to have a chance to kill them.
I would have been more impressed if she got an STD before she has sex.

Let's put an organisation which didn't understand how the internet works in charge of regulating the internet! What could go wrong?

Yep, of you cherry-pick a date range you like, you can indeed create a negative trend. Way to science, bro.
lol. Wait, so if you have more storms, but by some fluke none of them actually hit land, then you actually have fewer storms?
Hilarious!
Err....so, you're saying you would rather look at a guys chest in the video....???
Of course not. Don't be ridiculous. He's clearly saying he would rather look at a guys ass in the video.
Noscript 10 is pretty terrible though. At this point it looks and feels like an Alpha release.
How's YesScript? Any better?

Yeah, it sure is a shame that more crackheads and gangsters aren't free to roam the streets :(
USA: the least free nation, except for all the rest!

Mining isn't separate from transactions.

That would be a hard sell. More and more businesses and government employees are using VPNs; it would be difficult for ISPs to block it outright.

I remember the good old days when vacuous comments on Slashdot were ignored instead of being modded "insightful". What a wonderful time that was.
