Senator Inhofe is a well-known climate change denier. That he is in such a position makes me want to weep.

(See eg http://www.desmogblog.com/jame... )

For counterpoint book recommendations, I suggest:

'The Merchants of Doubt' by Oreskes and Conway

'This Changes Everything' by Naomi Klein

Turns out that if the cure is worse than the disease people don't want the cure...

Some people seem to be 'denying' that that actually is the rational attitude.

Interesting. Where did you get that quote?

Turns out that when people don't like what they're hearing, they act as though they heard something else.

EA Loosens Spore, Mass Effect DRM 249

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the actually-listening-to-your-constituency dept.
An anonymous reader writes "In response to recent criticism, EA has decided to eliminate the periodic validation of Mass Effect and Spore. 'Specifically, EA's plan to dial in to game owner's computers every ten days to check whether they were running a legitimate version of their software has been scrapped, ShackNews reports. EA had planned to use the validation method for upcoming titles Mass Effect and Spore. EA now says that validation will now only occur when a user attempts to download new content for either game. Chief among the voices in opposition to this measure were members of the armed forces, who pointed out that they could not rely on having an internet connection every ten days.'"
