True. Values are arbitrary. On a related note: Your name has two ns in it, like some common street urchin or rogue. I say, sir, you must take them out or there will be a reckoning upon the morrow! Eviera it shall be, or my name be not atipa

Actually, I'd say "Torture? What? Don't torture anyone! Even Reagan! Damn!" Then I'd quite rightly get thrown out of the thought experiment for involving the Golden Rule without a licence.

Damn right! Girly program languages suck. That's why I never even bothered to try Ada, and why my favourite is Python. (you nong)

You can quite happily make your language the DEFAULT way to program on a platform even though it isn't necessarily the BEST way to program on that platform. Just ask Steve Jobs.

Apologies, I read you wrong. Renewable resource because it's trees, not because you can recycle it. Eeek. Someone slap me.

It depends. The volcanic ash might be dark enough to - on balance - absorb heat, like the brown cloud over Southern Asia does. I'm not aware of work that's been done on that. However, good point - hadn't thought of that. Maybe Gaia is swatt

That's why I'm confused - I agree with you, Apple is way out of line on this. So why are they doing this, when they're not a monopoly? Do they think that having a walled garden of approved apps and the best UI will work forever? It didn't w

When all aircraft were grounded over the USA after 9-11, the temperature over the USA spiked 1.1 degrees above expected. It then fell back when flights resumed. It turns out that the contrails left by aircraft bounce some of the solar radia

Recycling paper takes a lot of energy and water use, not to mention harsh chemical bleaching. Sorry to burst your "use paper, it's recyclable" mentality. I was disappointed when someone burst mine, too.

You make good points, but something is definitely lost when someone is forced to give up a sensitive personality due to an overly-abrasive society. Politeness is good for us.

Exactly. Standard IE is no longer the throw-anything-at-it (and pretty fast as well) browser, unfortunately.
