And of course cows only cause CO2 emission if they are western cows... Because in the west me must become vegetarians to save the enironment... while chinese cows are inherently climate neutral. Must be something in the chinese cabages the cows eat over there...

Principle is very simple, every animal emits CO2, every human emits CO2.

Countries like china and india are both industrialising, but dont have environmental laws as the west does, so the industrie over there is creating a relativly high amount of polution. More people leads to more consumption leads to more industrie. For example in india they burn of petroleum gas while refining crude oil. Here we drive cars running on the stuff.
Likewise forests are removed to house people, less forests means less CO2 to O2 conversion.
Yes, humans have a huge impact on the environment... More humans have a bigger impact. In a relativly short time the human population has doubled. Its stupid to think it doesnt have an impact.

But then again vulcanos exhaust a huge amount of CO2 on eruption... And of course even minke whales produce CO2, so is japan harming or helping the environment...?

In the end, there will be a balance, the climate is not in any danger... what ever happens there will be a climate, and everything will adapt to that climate....

Even worse, its not optional, it free (a $150 value) and still they complain...

They are not doing anything wrong because they do what they say. They just say it in a way that sound very high tech to their customers... Basicly "syncing the glasses" consists of inserting the batteries. The glasses do everything automaticly, end the end of the stories is the glasses are synchronized with the 3D picture. So if they put the batteries in (and everything works as its supposed to), they have fullfilled their promise. Still $150 to hook up a tv, setup the channels and connecting a bluray player doesnt sound all that shocking to me. I asume it takes them an hour on average (including a short explaination to the owner how to use his new setup)

use to work at -32F and in a steady breeze... turn cola in a popsicle in minutes :)

Hmmm just read an article saying that avatar broke the $1,000,000,000 mark at the boxoffice... Only if we had known how bad things were in the movie industry

The Search for tianemen square did point to tianemen square on the map, and did not point to tainemen square on the satelite images. Logic dictates that the maps are correct and the satelite images are misaligned.

the US invasion of Iraq was probably one of the worst choices made since Vietnam... wel actually worse than Vietnam, because Bush did know (at least should have known) what happened in Vietnam. But in case you haven't noticed, but Iraq not only already is a second Vietnam, before long you will wish it was just a second Vietnam:
1) Iraqs involvement in the 9-11 attacks were marginal at best.
2) There were no WMD.
3) US gets caught up in civil war between several parties wich only seem to agree on that the US is the bigger enemy
4) The invasion diverted forces from afghanistan, weakening the effort there.
5) The invasion fueled criticism that US wnat war against islam, further hindering efforts in afghanistan.
6) The was in Iraq is bleeding the US economy, each day the war goes on is a win for al qaeda
With no end in sight, and withdrawal would mean that the effort is wasted. Iraq is a huge sinkhole and the US is caught in it.

You skip quite easily over the simple fact that both shareware and GPL are very much children of their time. Shareware was the way to go in an era without an massivly available internet. Development was done by either persons or small localized groups. Shareware was a way to get paid for your effort (mainly to pay for the distribution). With groing influence of internet the distance became less of an factor, and distribution got a lot cheaper. It was also a lot easier to get other peoples programs.
In a world without internet, and distribution by phoneline driven BBS, GPL wouldn't stand a chance. So you can also point to the internet as a large contributing force to GPL

More or less my point, well actually kutz's point, but with bing the author calls it censorship. but the author finds it shocking that a marketing drone calls something he didnt expect a bug, and the same issue is later called inherit behaviour. So why did the guy say in june is was a bug.. probably because he didnt know any better.

But never let logic get in the way of a good witch hunt.

if you google in simplified chineseyou get: http://images.google.com/images?q=%E5%A4%A9%E5%AE%89%E9%97%A8%E5%B9%BF%E5%9C%BA which looks quite different from http://images.google.com/images?q=tiananmen+square the evil bastards at microsoft are censoring google....
