Calm down, Sparky! If MS or the NSA wanted to fuck with your computer, they'd use a sneaky backdoor/exploit into your system and then run whatever tools they wanted to, which would not include well-known tools, as they are easy to spot. You seem to be more paranoid than sensible.

Then they've lost your trust. I'm sure they're gutted. The rest of the world moves on...

... is also a "tad bit obvious", as every system reporting tool will gladly show you that your screen recording software is chewing up resources for no apparent reason. If the NSA wanted in to your machine they'd use a backdoor or exploit to gain access, then install their own software which you'd not recognise.

It's not the perfect app, though, as everyone knows it's there. There is no such thing as the perfect app, but perfect backdoor (through which actors put their unknown malicious app). If this hypothetical backdoor exists (still waiting for concrete evidence of that, by the way), then the NSA would simply use it to install their own screen-recording software, and get your goodies that way.

Come on, you can do better. I know bashing Microsoft is fun, but when you have to resort to childish hypothetical situations to bash them, you end up bashing yourself instead.

You can't really be this stupid, right?

I know, right?! It's as if they respect the scientific method and humans in general. So fucked up! Next they'll be telling us marching around in blackface shouting "oh lawdy!" is not cool!

You sound single.

It does look a bit dodgy, I agree. I thought the same thing when I read the name. I then looked on the internet, and there is at least one Kelvin Wells living in Germany. Whether he is German or not I don't know, but that seems good enough.

So the study is just a bunch of half-baked bullshit, never once approaching an accurate view of the reality it purports to lay bare. And you love it.

Don't kid yourself - you are looking at the present and are completely unaware of what's being planned for the future. Big shock.

Seeing as lithium can be produced without any mining what so ever, I'd say your question is entirely nonsensical.

You should, as then you could read just how flawed the study is.

Apart from all the superchargers being built out, the battery swap technology in the works, and the fact that the vast majority of drivers don't want to drive more than a full charge per day, you are absolutely correct in your appraisal.

You are showing your ignorance once more. The soil in Canada and Siberia are terrible for farming, and so moving agriculture there will do fuck all. Plus the increase in CO2 means the crop yields will drop, meaning more farming has to take place in order to support the required number of people. Not to mention the complete lack of infrastructure, and that you're calling for farming to be moved across country lines, which never ends well (see: all of history).

You appear to have a spotty surface understanding of this problem, yet get confused about anything else. You really should fix your education, as it's embarrassing.
