I'm not the AC poster but agree with him: zenlessyank is an idiot.

"Given the state of the planet" doesn't give anyone the excuse to break the law, especially when the majority of the devices were certainly tossed in a landfill instead of being responsibly recycled as Apple had paid GEEP to do.

Ask the Kennedy family who campaigned against off-shore wind off of Cape Cod because it would "ruin" their view. Are you just waking up from a nap Mr Van Winkle?

The pushers of "Zero-Emission" Hydrogen as a solution to climate change are like people claiming that you can cool a house by leaving the refrigerator door open.

Yeah, we'd best not even try solutions that dumb.

I lay most of the blame at the feet of the NASA administrator (born and raised in Utah iirc) that decided against all logic to award Shuttle booster manufacture to Thiokol’s segmented booster (manufactured in Utah) instead of Aerojet’s one piece booster (manufactured in Florida). No segmented booster, no Challenger disaster so it’s not just Pork.

Stop lying to yourself and everyone else. Pork is universal and Democrats are just as guilty as Republicans.

Not a single species, including the mosquitofish is in any danger due to the release of these GM mosquitos!

That article is an alamist piece of junk that has chosen to confuse genociding ALL species of mosquitos with the limited goal of eliminating a single invasive non-native species of disease bearing mosquito in the US. Even if that species Aedes-Egytii were to disappear globally, including in it's home range, there are other non-disease bearing mosquitoes that would fill their niche. (which you do mostly state, but linking to that article makes your post a very mixed message).

Fair enough, mine dates back to the first months of my /. account. Still strange to hear “we” on the Bill of Rights coming from a non American citizen.

Strange words coming from someone whose sig talks about “we” in a uniquely American context.

I recognize your hyperbole but the principal responsible authority is still the FBI, just as it was in tracking down Graham Ivan Clark & his cohorts. "Internet" changes nothing herre.

One hopes that the idiots doing so continue to piss off the judge making sure that he is as riled as possible when considering defense motions and getting the FBI to track down and ruin the days of those who (wrongly) think themselves untouchable.

I fail to see how furnishing nutrients is in any way better than designing water tanks around a solar flare lifeboat or bulldozing regolith over a hab.

It's not just "nutrients", it's air, temperature control, etc for this stuff to live and grow.

You ask him... as a few guests on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson did.

Geoff only had a few canned sound bites at the beginning but was then Grant upgraded him and he was voiced and operated by the great Josh Robert Thompson. The byplay between Craig & Geoff was very often the highlight of an extremely funny show.

I highly recommend checking out “Craig Fergusun Geoff Peterson” on YouTube.

Grant also created the gay skeleton robot Geoff Peterson for Craig Ferguson.

As opposed to the Unlucky cosmonaut that no longer flies because Roscosmos doesn't have the money? The NASA gravy train is almost gone & Russia's petroeconomy isn't helping.
