I think that should be the first thing to investigate: is the diversity of resumes diferent from the makeup of the community? As a student in comp sci, I can tell you that thus far I've seen an overwhelming majority of white males. Women are rare, blacks are rare, hispanics are rare, even asians are rare. I don't claim this to be representative, but I think we should start at the source instead of blaming a company for it. If the job seekers of that particular ethnicity/gender just aren't there, what are they going to do?

Are you this thick as not to realize that WE, humans, would win? Do you not see that pollution is harmful to all species, us included? Sure, right now most of climate change doesn't affect you. It probably won't affect you in the next decades either. Heck, you might even die before it does anything serious to you personally.

But if nothing is done, millions will be affected. How many will die is hard to say. What is sure is that selfish and mind-numbingly blind people like you are harming our world's future. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not leave as legacy a contaminated wasteland.

The reason that the UN focuses on the US and Europe is that we are the developed nations. We are the West. We should be leading by example, otherwise why the fuck would the newcomers on the scene bother? They've not had the chance to enjoy careless pollution for decades like the US has, and you want to tell them that the US can keep fucking things over because it's not the biggest polluter? Seriously?

If the US were doing their part, it'd put more pressure on the rest of the world. It'd make them able to help other countries build clean infrastructure. Instead, they act as the black sheep, the dissenting opinion which developing countries can point at to justify them not doing anything. And despite all of this, China is in fact doing things. Pollution has become a serious issue and they're working towards solving it with billions of dollars a year. In twenty years, if all else remains equal, I expect China to be significantly more advanced in green tech than the US. Perfect? No. But no one's asking for perfection, just willingness to put the world's fate before your own petty politics.

The reason it matters is that if we are at cause, then we also are able to fix the problem. If this is all part of a natural cycle and we only have a negligible impact, then cutting our emissions would be insufficient and we would have to scramble to find another solution.

In many ways, confirmation that man is the major causal factor in global warming should be seen as good news. It means we have the power to fix it.

And yet another perfect solution fallacy, ladies and gentlemen.

This. School often ends at 3 in the afternoon anyway, so why not shift everything one hour off? As it is the students are ending up stuck at school after classes doing homework or whatever because the parents aren't home.

FTFY. Sorry, there are some things which just are not funny, and if we're gonna condemn idiots like Sam Biddle who tweet "bring back bullying" and other such nonsense (hint: the backlash was rather large), we should also condemn people "jokingly" saying they're gonna put a hitman on anyone.

Wait, so you're telling me that Jesus flew down to Earth in the Heart of Gold?

Or alternatively, the old adage, Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

It's even worse when you notice that their tagline is "Innovation You Can Count On."

Well over half the Steam hardware survey's machines have 4GB or more. A 32-bit OS means you can't actually leverage that amount.

If your biggest concern is running 16-bit applications, then stick with XP. Don't drag everyone else down because you're stuck on antiquated software.

I have it on good authority that all houses have, usually very early in their history, crashed to the ground. Apparently most of them can't even be dislodged!

Sure, but only if I can get a tax credit for 50% the price of my next house. I mean, if the house was not sold, there wouldn't be any tax revenue.

America's response to that is: can I make money off it next quarter? No? Not interested.
