Actually humanity fixed global cooling by better air regulations that banned sulphor from being released uncontrolled into the atmosphere.

Humanity stopped the acid rains. But instead the more damaging global warming, that had been repressed by the acid environment, showed its ugly face.

So global cooling was fixed. Now its the time to fix global warming.

PS Yes, you can stop global warmning by spreading sulphor, but it will instead make this a world full of acid rain.

Xbox sales is very small in comparison. Microsoft have sold a total of about 70 million units of Xboxes since 2005. Currently they sell like half a million each month - basically neglectable compared with total sales of windows; its even less then windows mobile.

As for Windows CE its hard to find data of number of licenses but its also small given that Linux is comming along and many are already using Linux or switching too it. Microsoft has tried to relauch WinCE as WIndows Compact 8 during 2013. Doubt it will get alot of success. WinCE is the basis for Windows Mobile who don't sell good either.

So I would not think about them alot. They don't really matter.

The European Court of Human Rights is NOT part of EU. Its an independent court.

So your yelp at EU sceptics is way out of line. Given the decisions from the EU Court I can only say its my opinion that it would naver have reached the same decision. Its very pro-EU.

This means that as of today, nobody sharing culture in the EU may be convicted just for breaking the copyright monopoly law; the bar for convicting was raised considerably. This can be expected to have far-reaching implications, not just judicially, but in confirming that the copyright monopoly stands at odds with human rights."

Windows is the part that they use to leverage their sales of Office which is Microsofts main cash cow.

With Windows no longer being able to to give Office an extra advantage, Office will have a hard time to compete and will no longer be dominating and it will be really downhill for Microsoft.

Its all about follow the money. A company in trouble usually sell off the parts of their business that dont show a big profit.
Selling the cash cow means you are left with a business that hardly gives any profit for the future. That is a bad bet for a company that aim to survive. Selling Xbox is thus the better choice for the company. Its just sound business strategy.

1. Temperarature rise for the last 250 years of 1.5 degree C is entirely because of increased CO2 emissions.
2. Vulcanic activity can seriously lower the earths temperature and affects the curve with downward spikes.

No other activity shows any significant colleration towards earth temperature. They have checked against solar flares and other activites and all they compared against has had no impact. CO2 rise looks to be the major cause behind it all.

Basically they are saying: Critics of AGW are wrong.

The data will be fully available on their webplacce form 30 july with abilities for visitors to test the data themselves and to toy with how the temperature rise has affected their local temperature.
