...that Mr. Hansen has hard evidence that actual percentages of CO2, methane, and other greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere? I'm not talking about cojncidentally matching the industrial revolution, I'm talking about hard evidence of percentages of these gases in the atmosphere say, 50 years ago compared to today. Because in all of the hyperbole, yelling, threatening, and name calling, I have yet to see those figures. That is what it would take to convince this particular individual that rising atmospheric temperatures are related to greenhouse gases.

Please, no accusations of being a right-wing nut. I just don't jump on any bandwagons until I'm sure of the facts.

It wouldn't take long for a bundle of twigs to burn in hell...

See Lance Ito.

Republican congressmen? Then obviously the /. crowd will hate it. @_o

And the sarcasm went (whoosh)

That wasn't an option the last time I checked. No paid ad-free Angry Birds. :-(

If they would make Angry Birds move that damned ad out of the way, I'd be able to stop disconnecting from the network before playing.

Come on over, pal! :-)

I'm no gamer, but it was Dreamweaver and paint Shop pro that kept me with Windows. I've been running Linux full-time on the desktop since 2008, with XP running virtually as I needed it.

I've finally gotten comfortable with Gimp and Eclipse. I still fire up the XP machine for Dreamweaver's GUI and SQLYog. But I'll be fully Linuxised by the time XP loses its support.

Bott either owns a million shares of MS stock, or else he has a gay relationship with Steve Ballmer. He has never, ever, ever written anything the least critical of this most criticizable company.

Their future will resemble that of IBM, Novell, HP, Sears, and many other companies that were once #1 in their specialty. Still making money, still active in the market, occasionally coming up with something truly revolutionary.

But one thing's for damned certain: their days of dominance are over. OVER! YES!!!!!!!!!

Good point. Let's see, all Irish are drunks, all Frenchmen are arrogant, all Orientals are bad drivers, all blacks are lazy, and the only person I ever knew as neonmonk was a dipshit.

Got it! :-)

Try being a southern white male. With the notable, rare exception of Matthew Mcconaughey, a white male with a southern drawl is invariably portrayed in the movies as either a wife beater, a racist, a child abuser, a drunk, or as simply stupid. More often it's a combination of all five.

I guess Redmond's new business strategy is throw enough dirty pairs of underwear against the wall and something is bound to stick sooner or later...

We who run Linux can still pretty much be the masters of our own desktop domains. :-)

Microsoft hardware has consistently been good stuff. If they would abandon coding altogether, their company might have potential.
