I am literally just withholding judgement. The opinion only needs to be challenged if it feels threatened. I do not wish to challenge it personally but would passively accept more information as it becomes available. Genuine thanks for the

We all are - that's what defines your personality. We are just a bunch of memes. You are selective in what you have chosen to accept as fact too. You can't get out of that argument on a moral high ground as there isn't one. You and me are a

That's some good information. Thank you. This is quality discussion. The irony of the concept of denial is that those (like myself) who choose not to form an opinion yet are lumped on with the denying group. This very concept itself is a fo

You've demonstrated my point entirely. I have been there but I cannot prove it. The idea that going there doesn't prove anything as well is valid. So it's not possible to draw a conclusion, which is my point. So rather than be a "denier", I

I accept tangibles without evidence. Neither of the original points were tangible or independently verifiable. I do not accept memes and ideas without supporting evidence. Please provide me with some examples and I will guide you through my

Well that's kind of the reply I expected. You're reacting as per my comment here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4223478 (see note on red vs blue). I am neither a Republican voter nor a US citizen. In fact I'm sitting here at home in

This is a fair point and one I agree with, however the issue at the moment at least is that as standard of living grows, problems are pushed to other places. This is because they are truly uneconomical to solve locally due to people wanting

It's a fair observation, but that is the US. There's a big rug in the far east with lots of toxic crap under it. There's also a lot of stuff we buried in various places and cross fingers it'll never escape.

I think you haven't been around long enough to remember the climate scandals of the 1970s. You know when we had an impending ice age. My grandfather also reminded me of the heatwaves in the 1950s and the associated "science" which came out

Oh here we go. Go and re-read my comments, then attempt to understand them again. The word fabricated is wrong. The issue is that we are fed assumptions and conclusions without the supporting facts or evidence and expected to consider them

The reason it introduces so much emotion is that it's used as political leverage and people get all uppety when red vs blue comes into the picture. We're screwing up our direct environment for certain as that is directly observable, but we'

How do we know if thousands of years ago, glaciers that were thousands of years old weren't disappearing as well?

by gouranga 14y ago
Probably was. Climate doom and gloom is a political thing, not a scientific thing. It's not possible to take at best 80 years of reasonable data from 4.54 billion years of the planet's lifetime and come up with sensible climate projections.

The typical response. The burden of proof is on the inclusive case. Were you there? If not, all you have is stories passed down built on propaganda. I don't disbelieve, but i expect evidence. I've been to Auschwitz btw - have you? I dint ge

This is true. I think most of the RT stuff i.e. GSM/3G stuff is offloaded onto dedicated devices.

I reckon this is because the ranking algorithm deranked them when their click through from bing rate declined after the sudden publicity storm. Their #visitors delta probably went very negative after everyone stopped clicking links from var

Not quite - that's what your history teacher taught you. There's evidence that an undetermined but quite large number of people sadly died in concentration camps during the second world war. The number, race and cause of death was not entir

This is what we're doing. WP works very well in this environment already and the handsets are dirt cheap.

Indeed. Without wanting to gush too much, but NT is a wonderful piece of technology. It's orders of magnitude better than anything else on the market without a doubt for any application. The bit people have the "hate problem" with is the Wi

Statcounter is a horse shit merchant. It's a bad choice for measuring market share statistics for anything. Let's take a look at this specific case and why it's wrong: 1. A lot of WP devices announce themselves as IE desktop rather than mob

Spot on. WP has good web integration as well i.e you can pin web sites to the start screen so there's a good opportunity there to bridge the gap.

99% of people don't know or care. At least in the UK, we're buying tonnes of them. 3 months ago, iPhones everywhere in our office. Now all I see is "sent from my windows phone" all over emails :) I know 5 people who've binned iPhones for Lu

Throw your iPhone away as well. Apple are bound by the PATRIOT act.

I'm sure it will. WP has superior features to BlackBerry OS (esp Facebook, twitter integration, messaging) and the devices are cheaper than comparable Blackberry, Android and iOS devices. Market share is also finally growing. It's a killer

Let's clear something up here. We will never know the truth. Evidence was burned, paperwork destroyed, the 'responsible' people were trialled in private and executed, propaganda was all over the place, facts are omitted for political gain a

When there is a price on immortality, we will all die or be killed. Humanity is notoriously self levelling.

The hard data doesn't matter to those who suffer statistical deaths or through the thousands of extra non-fatal complications which are always missing from the statistics...

Sort of like a wormy unit test. Strange thought!
