Is Microsoft preparing a Plan B for when they finally give up on Windows Mobile?

Used to be that in a democracy we will weight the facts and then vote on a decision.

Huh? That's never been the case.

They're not even debating the right question: Are humans causing a climate change that will cause us considerable harm?

You could get it down to one box labelled "Charge all smartphones in room". See? Super-easy!

Christianity has the same problem. If you haven't murdered every single homosexual you've ever encounterd, then you are disobeying the Bible. The crucial difference is that "Christians" have rejected the more barbarian aspects of their sacred and unchanging scripture (making them exactly what, I don't know) and all "Christian" states have rejected the integration of church and state. Islam is still stuck in its own Dark Ages.

The reason that languages fragmented in the past was that populations were fragmented and rarely communicated. That is not the case today. Increasingly concentrated mass media in English will cause accents and dialects of English to converge. Mind you, the root English will also evolve over hundreds and thousands of years, but eventually, everyone will speak this root English.

the world's aircraft are responsible for roughly 2.5% of global carbon dioxide emissions

All human activities contribute only 3% of global CO2 emissions; the other 97% are natural. Buried deeply in a footnote somewhere is that they are talking about *ANTHROPOGENIC* CO2 emissions which means that aviation is actually responsible for only 0.075% of global CO2 emissions. These political activists should really stop lying.

The U.S. started mortgaging its future during the Reagan era, but it was the two Bush presidencies that did the most damage.

Obama has run up more debt than all previous presidents in history COMBINED, including both Bushes, and he still has two more years to go. Do you have any criticism for him?

O'er the land of the cowed and the home of the chickenshit!

Yet another monopoly cartel that has outlived its usefulness and will soon be liquidated by technological change.

You're saying that there should have been more racists on the jury to mitigate against racism? Or perhaps that there should have been more racists of your persuasion to get the result you wanted?

It's called "Leftism". It is an ideology, and ideologies are not subject to reason or facts.

The leftist reverence for a proven thug is disgusting. Time to face reality. Your innocent angel strong-arm robbed a store and then attacked a police officer, punching him in the face and tried to grab his gun before finally trying to charge him.

Step 1: Don't attack the cops.
Step 2: There is no step 2.
