Or not: "One clue to the importance of climate: Bumblebee ranges began shrinking 'even before the neonicotinoid pesticides came into play in the 1980s,' says ecologist and coauthor Alana Pindar, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Guelph in Canada."

Please RTFA. Thank you.

I know, no one likes to RTFA. But if you did: "One clue to the importance of climate: Bumblebee ranges began shrinking “even before the neonicotinoid pesticides came into play in the 1980s,” says ecologist and coauthor Alana Pindar, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Guelph in Canada."

If I'm reading your multitude of comments on this subject correctly, you're saying, "fuck the wild honeybees, private industry will just make more of them and truck them around more and everything will be okay. yay capitalism!"

Is that about right?

That's not terribly burdensome.

For fuck's sake... it's been how many decades and you people still can't get this right?

Godwin's Law states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." That's it! None of this "losing the argument" bullshit.

Besides the fact that Mozilla is a non-profit (Which most people don't know.) with a mission of web standards

That doesn't stop them from making increasingly bone-headed decisions in the name of chasing scummy money (see: Yahoo, Pocket).

all around best browser for everyone but especialy for those of us who work in the IT industry.

What part of the "IT industry" do you work in that doesn't have any non-technical users who need support every 4-6 weeks because they fucked with the UI.. oh, I'm sorry, the UX... yet again?

Perhaps as important is that Webkit (Perhaps soon Project Spartan also.) needs competition and Mozilla's Gecko engine is just that, we are entering an age where Webkit will take a huge share of the browser pie so competition and diversity is key to our continued development.

Then maybe they should focus more on pulling Gecko out of the cesspit it's been marinading in, rather than wallowing in kitchen-sink me-tooism? Just a thought.
