This is very rude. Diseases should be name after the molecular weight numbers of the causal agents.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Magoo" said the doctor, "but you've come down with 1291-12-121-124132-1212-121-9342-12. If you have any questions just Wiki that for details."

Poison, Busses, etc: Reboot.

5,000 years: And you're still worrying. :)

You definitely worry too much. :)

Be the Chaos.

"especially because all of us are going to die"

Bit of a large assumption there...

There are likely some people already born who will never die. Their form might change.

Want to reduce carbon levels in the atmosphere?

Support your local pasture based farming. Raising livestock on pasture soaks up carbon, and nitrogen (legumes for free fertilizer), far better than crop land and provides a diverse ecosystem for wildlife. Best of all, get your pasture raised meat from small, local, family operations. Many small producers means better food security and helps keep your money in your local economy - an extra bonus.

Support your local sustainable forestry. Forests that are regularly harvested suck up a lot more carbon than those that go into maturity stagnation. Cutting trees and planting new trees, or just letting the regen do it, is a huge way to sequester carbon.

Both of these are things that sequester enormous amounts of carbon long term.

While you're at it, reduce your carbon footprint. Attack the problem at both ends.

Geoengineering would hurt some people. Global warming is good for some of us in the northern climates because it is giving us a longer growing season.

Note I'm not arguing about if it exists, but the reality is climate changed is a mixed bag that hurts some people and benefits other people depending on where you are. There are scientific papers about this. Thus any geoengineering to reverse climate change will also hurt some people and benefit others.

A better idea would be to focus on the real problems such as pollution, reducing waste, war, etc.

"I used to offer WordPress as blog engine to my users. Like .... 7 or 8 years ago. And half of my time was spent updating, upgrading, and cleaning up after WordPress."

Well there's your problem. WordPress 4.2.1 of 2015 is a totally different system than what you were using. It is now much easier to update, upgrade, clean and manage. Try it again.

"discovered in the WordPress 4.2 and earlier core engine"

WordPress is on version 4.2.1 and makes automatic nightly updates and if comment moderation is turned on fully and always then this is not an issue.

Keep up-to-date.
Moderate comments.

Both of these practices are good for other reasons.

You assume he has been following the situation. Just as likely he simply was able to grasp the situation form the small amount of data provided and present a good humored response on the fly. Intelligence can often make up for a lack of fine data.

Everyone's going to die thus everybody is going to _be_ dead anyway.

"Nobody is going to die that wouldn't be dead anyway."

Yes, well, umm... that is a very, very nice neat tautology. I like it! :)

it is not the percents that matter but the dollars at the end of the year and it mounts up and apple makes a huge amount off their media (content) sales. Look at their financial reports.

Providing legacy support is in the best interests of Apple and content providers because there are still a large number of users out there with older systems who will buy content if they can easily access it. Making it hard or impossible is a hurdle that kills the sale and encourages piracy. Legacy support makes cents.

Why stop at "over" zealous?
Zealotry should also be stopped.

Yes, and that is the point. They got apes to build the rockets for them.
