Let's get this war on the road before there's nothing left to fight over.

In their latest hack, Apple has initiated a suicide lock on all iPod touch 3. The screens no longer respond to touch, making them unusable. Can't decide if Steve Jobs was the reincarnation of Hitler or the preincarnation of Putin.

This should stall the chance to fight the real problem, overpopulation, until it's too late.

The renewables are being built and transported with coal and oil derived energy. They will have to be replaced in a few years with new devices requiring the same expenditure of carbon-emitting energy.

I fail to see how having your own monistary could possibly fail to boost your productivity.

The ship tracks cool the earth for a few days. Their emissions heat up the earth for a thousand years. An intended consequence.

Of course there aren't; they fucking cut them down!

All the cement going into the building of this installation is contributing to the release of carbon, increasing the force and frequency of the storms which will knock it down.

Since you pay a fee every time you use a cashless system, eventually 100% of the money will end up in the hands of the fee-takers. Same as in the casino.

Sounds like a shill from a carny barker herding you in to see the blood-sweating hippo.

That's not a problem, that's a feature. I understand that you prefer to live in one large extended building; you are welcome to move to a place that builds such things. Most of us prefer some space.

I live in the USA also, and my experience couldn't be more different than yours. We have our own playground in our back yard which we also allow the neighbours to use, but there are also 2 playgrounds within walking distance. Public pool is wonderful and located right beside one of those playgrounds. Soccer and other sports are free through the local school, and paid sports/groups like gymnastics and martial arts are relatively reasonably priced. School funding is decent; good facilities, good teachers, good equipment (not happy about some of the bullshit being taught, but even that's not bad compared to many other places). A bachelor's degree isn't remotely required for a decent job; local trade schools and apprenticeship programs can have a highschool graduate earning an excellent income by the time he/she is early 20s. One common experience we have is that child care is indeed insanely expensive, however cost of living is so low that the wife and I decided we might as well just stick to a single income and have one parent actually spending time with our children instead of pawning them off on strangers. And I can't imagine children being treated as "nuisances" on the regular; but maybe that's just a difference in how we raise them. All in all ... you and I may live in the same country, but we clearly live in two completely different worlds.

It's a dude? Thanks, that checks. Any time I hear about a chick being unusually prolific in a tech field, a quick check under the skirt quickly proves that the old stereotypes are still true.

No worries, the actual plan is to move the homeless people into the contaminated sites. See, problems solved.

Thank you. I can't believe the number of morons who have completely missed the fact that this study CONFIRMS the fact that for weight loss purposes, a calorie is a calorie.
