I fully agree with you - but - carbon dioxide is not in any way "pollution". It's plant food. It has likely contributed to our greening planet, which has caused deserts to shrink and our food output to reach record highs.
Either we explicitly want to cut down on CO2 production due to our skilled models saying it will hurt us - and/or we stop various forms of pollution. It's very unscientific to pretend there the same thing.
Hats off. The 68000 was the first CPU owned (Atari ST) and I had a good six years of assembly skills behind me when it was finally time to leave. Awesome CPU for the kind of magic demo tricks only hard core assembler coding could bring out.

There is no adequate explanation - which is why the court in its judgement specifically told the prosecutor to "get on with it". Including stating to the press that "get on with it" could mean "go to London and do the interrogation there".
I have no idea how that extremely important development could be left out from an objective summary
Dear Google,
Why didn't you just buy Flattr instead? https://flattr.com/

If you have a Core 2 Duo Mac Mini it can run Lion, officially supported. And Mavericks, at least, unsupported.
No, no we are not in an unsually unstable period of climate. Or more accurately stated, that instability is BECAUSE OF US.
Not according to research.
Until a few decades ago it was generally thought that all large-scale global and regional climate changes occurred gradually over a timescale of many centuries or millennia, scarcely perceptible during a human lifetime. The tendency of climate to change relatively suddenly has been one of the most suprising outcomes of the study of earth history, specifically the last 150,000 years (e.g., Taylor et al., 1993). Some and possibly most large climate changes (involving, for example, a regional change in mean annual temperature of several degrees celsius) occurred at most on a timescale of a few centuries, sometimes decades, and perhaps even just a few years. The decadal-timescale transitions would presumably have been quite noticeable to humans living at such times, and may have created difficulties or opportunities (e.g., the possibility of crossing exposed land bridges, before sea level could rise)
And Ericsson, whose research Gladwell misrepresented, most definitely didn't.

No, there are exactly zero big catastrophes going on right now. If you want to find catastrophes you need look no further than the actual tsunami that caused Fukushima - which resulted in tens of thousands of deaths (compared to zero from the failing reactors).
I live in Sweden, one of the countries that was actually affected by Chernobyl fallout. We had to make sure we didn't eat mushrooms for a short while - and that was it.
The "Big Lie" is that there have been nuclear catastrophes. A statement not supported by data: http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/...
My last Android phone had them uploading to Google+ by default, without my explicit approval or agreement.
Odd. I've always been asked, very explicitly and clear, if I approve of having my photos backed up to Google+ from my Android phone. I've always answered No, and they haven't.
40 years ago there were people just like you saying how perfectly safe nuclear power is.
... and here we are, 40 years later, and know it to be true. Even the worst failure scenarios possible have not resulted in catastrophe. On the contrary, nuclear has turned out to be the safest energy production method of all.
If we want to be rational and stick to the facts, of course.
The actual question is: what are you going to do about it?
I became an active politician (and since I'm in a non-two party dictatorship it made a difference).
No phone manufacturer ever thought of making a touchscreen based hand-held device prior to Apple as it was believed (and very correctly too) that it was inherently difficult to operate a 3.5" touch display. It was the app store that outweighed the negatives of iPhone touchscreen

Full touch, full web, app store
It's been known and well documented since 2011. It's in the wiki. What programmer does not study the API documentation when implementing a multi-million dollar service?

An incompetent one. The transaction id is an id of that specific transaction. If another transaction is created with the same inputs and outputs is a new transaction, thus a new transaction id.
(A better id to use if you want to track actual transfers is a hash over the sorted input and output adresses)
with current trends there is a very high risk of not having enough snow
Winter northern hemisphere snow cover trend is on the increase - not decrease - since decades back.
