Comment Re:Human-induced climate change is a hoax (Score 1) 458

Sorry, you are jsut an idiot.
If someone claimed 30 years ago, we already had sea level risings of meters/yards today, he was an idiot, too.
If you believed that idiot, you are a doubke idiot.

All that changes nothing to the fact that everyone below the afe of 50 who is reaching a normal age will eye witness dramatic changes (in the next 30 years).

replace ... with healthy scientific skepticism and you might convince people like me.
How should I if I start becomming sceptic, convince an idiot like you?
Facts fon't comvince you, but if I step back from thise facts (being sceptic) you suddenly are convinced?
Why don't you simply learn about the facts instead of spreading your ideology?

What we can 'proof' is not really relevant.
Either you have common sense or not.
When Gallileo dropped his samples from the tower in Pisa, he was well aware he can not drop all kinds of combinations of materials to be certain that gravity works regardless of weight.
Would he have dropped a toddler to see if it falls slower/faster than lead, iron, stone?
I don't guess so. So according to your idea of science it is unproven if toddlers fall slower or faster or at the same rate than any other material.

I don't go into the rest of your argumentation, as it is all wrong.

Comment Same on iOS 7 (Score 3, Interesting) 120

My iPad 2, running iOS 7 gets disconnected in certain WIFIs quite often.
My iPhone running iOS 6 stays in the same network without any problems.
Since Mac OS X 10.5/10.6 and iOS 5/6, more precisely since roughly half a year, perhaps a year, before Steve Jobs death, the quality and usefulness of Apple Software goes downhill rapidly ... 10.7 does not even offer a hotkey or a menu to switch desktops. And how to activate multiple desktops, you need to google for. I guess a huge amount of people who never had 10.6 don't even know that 10.7 and later supports multiple (virtual) desktops.
Support for AppleScript, for Apples own programs, like TextEdit, is down to a bare minimum ... you can not even insert a clickable link into a text document via the applications API (not sure if that ever worked, though).
My Application lost the ability to search a few days ago, also the intelligent folders (which I rely heavily on in my business) stopped working. A restart of Mail.app changed nothing. I had to reboot.
Backups to time machine, don't work minimum once a week. Error is: (insert computer name) bundle in use. I wonder by whom? Usually I have to reboot the time machine, which you only can do by unplugging it from the power: which is a bad idea for a device/appliance containing a hard drive. (This is all 10.7 on a MacBook Air)
The back ups for my other laptop, running 10.6 got lost half a year ago. Timemachine gave an error: incremental back up not possible, need to make a full backup. Wow, never had I assumed that implies all my old backups are gone.
I could rant for ever ...
MS I mainly hated because the UI is not useable, and the random bugs that showed up REGULARLY.
Now I start hating Apple, too. At least the UI still works better (for me) than Windows.
Probably it is time to build up my own unix based backup solution and write my own apps for basic stuff like Mail and Web. I can not get it that it is still impossible to freeze a browser tab that is in the background completely ...
A few tabs open in Chrome and Safari and the laptop just runs 3h instead of the 'normal' 10h.

Europe, at least the EU, has no government controlled industries anymore since over 20 years, roughly 30 even!

Also there is a huge difference if something is "public owned" and "government controlled".

The only majour "industries" that are still in public hands is the fresh water supply, and hopefully it stays that way.

First of all: you should learn to start sentences with a capital letter.

It is really hard to read if everything is lowercase, and I for my Part like it if Nouns are in Capitals, too. Even easier to read, but well, I'm german.

Anyway, in Europe the broad band and fibre lines are NOT OWNED by the government but by the lele communication companies.

However those companies are forced by law to sublicense access to the lines to "competitors".

Works oki so far, not perfect but good enough.
