There will never be a "year of the desktop", because the desktop is dead. The reality is that such a large percentage of the population use mobile devices for the majority of their interactions that whatever happens on the desktop is irrelevant. I find it bizarre because the mobile experience is so abysmal compared to a proper desktop. But I've never understood the mainstream, and I guess this is just another example of that.

Alas dying. Jorg had a heart attack a few days ago.

Aggressive cancer.

.50 what? Dollars? If so, why not say so?

Why extract from the atmosphere? Just use plain old dirty coal mines, but instead of burning it make a battery element out of it. Oh wait, that's how it's done already, and it's obviously evil because... something something Al Gore.

Convince me you are sane.

How noble and generous of you. It won't restore your reputation one iota, but at least you aren't complete scum of the earth.

Nobody is dying in Europe, they are dying in a war in the Middle East. Syria is a drought prone region, climate change has nothing to do with the political crisis there.

Please, name a single life lost to climate change.

So you think it is reasonable that scientific researchers are denied raw data making it impossible to replicate findings? You think it is alright to conspire to hide the truth because some people are ignorant? How do you expect verification without replication? Why do you fear the truth being told if your arguments are sound?

Well it goes back to the ultimate question, if mass/energy/momentum is conserved, where did it come from in the first place? If creation of energy is forbidden, then creation itself is also forbidden, therefore there must be a way to create energy.

There's a difference between a little bit of fun and a torrent of shite.

That is all.
