> Why would climate change be a hoax? Who is making money off of a "climate change hoax"? This is one thing I really don't understand as well. Ok, there's X amount of proof in favor of AGW. Where's the evidence f

Heh. It's much easier to write a kludge and patch it 500 times than perform a culture change at my place. I'll get rewarded for "fixing" the application and be seen as valuable in the former, and quite easily despised in

Relatively contained waste compared to the waste products of coal burning that are just spewed into the air? Please. And with newer generation reactors, waste is even less of a problem than in the past.

I have a similar experience. Got fascinated with computers before school offered classes. Learned QBASIC, then VB (3?), then C (the basics of each, not mastery!). Eventually majored in CS and graduated with the degree. But I find a complete

I've seen some (really condescending) comments doing just that. I thought they were on drugs or just trolls.

How, with just an hour, do you manage to get anything meaningful done? I've tried that and I have to spend 10 minutes figuring out where I was, 15 minutes researching how to do the next bit that I want (esp. for a project in a new dev

And then add on Healthcare, child-rearing, and education costs and guess what... USA Citizens pay more overall. Just not through "taxes." per -say.

That's too hard. Let's just precision carpet bomb them and let God sort it out. Any problems 20 years from now will be the next incumbent's problem.

But are the ones making alarmist claims the same as the ones making more solid predictions? There are many climate change/AGW groups.

I was trying to think of a more clever twist on it, like "put your mind where your money is."

Heh. New meaning to "put your money where you mouth is." Perhaps a corollary.

True, I recall now that cars automatically turn on hazard flashers and some attempt to connect to OnStar and the like. IMO, that should all be a separate inertial sensor...

What benefit could possibly come about by connecting the airbag system (intertial sensor(s), the airbag, and the explosive device) to the v2v or any other electrical system other than power? Why does there even need to be a firewall. It sho

Natural selection isn't "horrific", nature is. Species who are "winning" at natural selection can also die in cruel circumstances. They just have to reproduce first. Some Octupi guard their eggs until they hatch, an

Yeah, I do web development. I've worked with javascript, PHP, and, sigh, classic ASP. There's bad code everywhere. Some languages make it a bit easier, but it's really not the languages fault.
