Well, Christianity is a peaceful religion too. Perhaps that explains the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition.

Crusades are easy, that would be a response to 100 years of Muslim rape, slaughter, and forced conversion in Spain. The Spanish Inquisition gets interesting, because it was a direct result of that. Surprise right? You're dealing with an entire group of extremists that responded to extremists in kind. Then again, that's not what they teach in school anymore is it. Rather many paint it as "it was all the christians fault."

That's why there were raids at 149 locations this morning in Australia too. It's only one...yep. And that's why if you go look at the studies on "who supports fundamentalism" and "jihad to install islam" you'll find that in western countries 8-25%(sometimes more) support the use of violence to do so, that includes suicide bombings.

By "true costs", he means the cost of the environmental impact and total externalities.

You mean like all of the super toxic, and environmentally damaging "green energy" products that are made? Yeah, but it's green...and...yeah green. Ignore the massive strip mining, and open tailing ponds where the REM's are gained...

Yep that's why these guys aren't making any money at $50/bbl either right? Because it costs them so much money to pull it out of the ground. Interestingly enough, heavy crude pulling here in Canada from the oil sands is profitable down to $20/bbl, it's hovering at about $40/bbl right now. Light and medium is profitable down to $30/bbl in some cases, and newer techniques are driving the extraction cost even lower. And in the case of coal, it can be expensive...or cheap. Depending on the method that you're using to pull it out of the ground, here in Canada we mostly do strip mining for it. It's the easiest way, and companies by law have to restore the environment and have fund setup for it.

Seagate discs for consumers have been pretty much bullet proof according to what I've been able to find.

A lot of people, myself included remember when Seagate was so bad, so terrible and had such a poor reputation that it's stuck. That was ~12 years ago, hell it was 14-15 years ago that the entire company nearly went under because of their poor quality. They have gotten better, but even I remember factory sealed boxes(100 units) and every single one of them being dead out of the box.

Well there anonymous, let me welcome you to #gamergate. You've just discovered that pretentious hipster trash is trying to do the same thing to gaming as well. Anyone notice that their actions "labeling someone as racist, sexist, and misogynistic" are also being done there? They also go attacking women and minorities in the movement labeling them as "braindead, puppets, etc."

What are hipters? Good little authoritarian trash, nothing more, nothing less.
