I tend to be skeptical when the term global warming is changed to climate change so they can then blame any weather on it. After I've read the 50th horror story of what could happen if we don't ACT NOW. Also when the only answer to solving climate change is taxing me more and hamstringing the economy further. There's money to be made on both sides of the political isle no matter what people say. Look at carbon credits. Its a freaking scandal in itself. It does nothing to actually fix carbon emissions. If you run out you just buy some from a company that doesn't do any manufacturing on a large scale. Oh look there's 20 start up companies that all they do is trade credits and make millions... And its hard to believe people when they cry the sky is falling but then take private jets around the world to warn us. Or when Obama flies to Europe a day after his wife does. They expect us to change our lifestyle but their 'carbon footprint' in one day outweighs my entire year. Think back 20 years people, what was the big story that we were all going to die from then? It's just one scare tactic after another. So there's a little science behind it. Woopty doo. I wish so many of you weren't so forgetful. The lot of you are getting all worked up over nothing. This will soon fade and a new threat will emerge.

Phobos-Grunt Mars probe loses its way just after l-> 1

Submitted by Flozzin
Flozzin writes "Russian engineers are fighting to save the country's latest mission to Mars.

The Phobos-Grunt probe launched successfully but then failed to fire the engine to put it on the correct path to the Red Planet.

Russian space agency officials say the craft is currently stuck in an Earth orbit and that engineers have two weeks to correct the fault before the probe's batteries run out."

I agree completely. I've never taken anything online seriously. I hate how its made into this huge deal, but after all its just online. I learned early on not to take much online seriously, but now we have forgotten that. Companies see everything online as a possible PR nightmare. Omg, someone made a youtube video about us!! BAD PR. No it will be forgotten in 2 seconds, and anyone that believes a youtube video is true or not completely one sided, probably devoid of any facts that make the poster look bad is also a retard. I guess its just too bad that alot of retards have power and money.

What I don't understand is this. You all think just because some code monkey or janitor sweats more than the CEO somehow the CEO shouldn't get paid as much. But have any of you ever filled the role? Have you ever taken a paycheck from a company and gone this is too much? Have you ever returned money in objection because your 60,000+ job a year makes more than the person that cleans your trash can? But all the sudden a CEO makes a bajillion dollars and you think he doesn't deserve it? Success anywhere requires first and foremost skill. Secondly to make it to the majors you do require a bit of luck. That being said the government requires nothing but a pretty face and alot of money to throw at some TV ad. Half the people haven't worked a job in their life yet you somehow think that just because a ton of people voted for them they are smart or deserve our respect. Did you ever meet the prom queen?! Really? What has government ever done. If it wasn't for the people they wouldn't have any money to take. All they do is take from us and redistribute as they see fit. They wouldn't be here if not for the hard working American. All they do is take our money and pay extra people along the way under the guise of 'helping'. Private industry can be trusted. Why? Because private industry can always be trusted to make a profit. Government can't be trusted. They have their own interested intertwined with the want to take more money from us. What have they brought us that has ever succeeded? Military is about all I can ever come up with. Everything else is a failure. Our public education is a joke. And just because this article wants to make it seem like throwing more money at it IE taxes on income will make it better, that won't. There are smarter ways to work harder for less. Always. The government just throws more money at the problem. Why? Because they don't work for it.

Just because the CEO then uses the tax free environment he helped create the article questions his intentions? Of course it was going to benefit him greatly, and just because it does, doesn't make any of the prior points against the tax less valid. Its his money, he worked for it. Get over it.

Great. Now on top of blue tooth making people looking they they talk to themselves. We will have people having seizures. This seems like too much effort all around. I can only imagine my phone calling grandma at 2 am since I left the phone on the table and wanted to get a snack to eat. How about track my eye movements? But even then if I look away it would have problems.

haha. No he's complaining about his internet access and says its the reason he can't go to college. My parents live in the country and they are not poor. He said that satellite was too expensive for him. I am basing my comment off that and assuming that his response is he "can't afford to move" which is a very common excuse for people.
