Comment Re:We don't all work in Windows + efficiency (Score 1) 431

All of which are *much* more efficient than "ctrl+c" + "ctrl+v". I'll be honest - I like the highlight + center-click thing for the most part. But there are a number of times where explicit copy/paste is much nicer. And I think at this point it's actually more efficient overall. ctrl+c is pretty damned easy to hit and removes the accidental copy issues one can run into. Also having *one* copy/paste buffer is *enormously* better than Linux's sorta-kinda-two. Yes, workarounds...

Comment Re:denial as a negotiation tactic (Score 1) 667

This is why I feel scientists and others need to distance policy decisions from the science of climate change. Get the facts accepted first. Worry about policy afterwards. After all - that *is* the area of politics (for better or for worse).

Heck - maybe Republicans would offer a very good market-based solution once they get on board with the science? We can't know until they do.

You seem to be confusing "I don't care about it" with "it's not newsworthy." Your strongest argument is "they have the right to do it."

Well damn - nothing ever newsworthy involves somebody doing something they have the right to do? So if they start publishing pro-nazi propaganda that's not "newsworthy?"

The very fact that people are discussing the issue makes it newsworthy - your apathy notwithstanding.

That fact doesn't matter nearly as much as you might think it does. He flies in doctors because the Cuban ones aren't as competent and because he can personally afford to. That has zero bearing on whether people have access to healthcare - though it does speak to the quality of the healthcare they are being given.

As a connoisseur of "libertarian crap" let me just say you have a bit of a ways to go my friend. "collect?" I think you mean "steal!" And never explain that you mean taxes by that - it just weakens your over-the-top hyperbole. Not to mention "subsidize?" Next time say "give away your hard earned income."

And try to work in a reference to the Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged or Nazis next time 'kay? If I'm gonna read this crap it should at least be entertaining.
