Comment Re:So "climate crisis" official marketing line now (Score 1) 185

This is the guy who mixes bleach and ammonia together when left unsupervised.

Jokes about household cleaner chemistry that is killing the planet is no joke. Hope you're happy with the sixteen-point-seven polar bears my UN-approved carbon videogame says you killed because of the coal-plant powering this comment server having to spool up for your pointless spam. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Comment So "climate crisis" official marketing line now? (Score -1, Flamebait) 185

The Carbon Clowns were into "global warming." Then, during the warming pause that of course never happened, it turned into "climate change." Obviously that wasn't working; I remember couple years ago reading serious pieces by serious Carbontology priests about the need to re-term the blob into something scarier, for basically political and marketing purposes. They tried "climate weirding" (never call on scientists - especially inept ones - for marketing terms) and all that did was get some jokes. Apparently the "climate crisis" is the one now. Rofl.

Comment A carbon-doom oopsie (Score 0) 265

'Bringing Barcelona's climate to London sounds like it could be a good thing -- if you don't suffer from asthma or have a heart condition, that is -- except London clay shrinks and is brittle if it gets too dry and then swells and expands when very wet. As ever, there is destructive and unforeseen devil in the details of climate change.'

You can tell these guys were all writing the standard doom-screed and realized "London warm like Barcelona? For a doom-screed? Hey...wait a sec, that's not doom!" So the best they have is "Uh, asthma, no...wait, the clay!"

Just derp coming and going with the Church of Carbontology.

Comment Teslanic, A James Cameron Film... (Score -1) 68

...Tesla's head of production in charge of its Fremont factory, Peter Hochholdinger, is going to hold a similar position at Lucid Motors, an electric car startup looking to soon move to production. Lucid Motors has kind of spun out of Tesla. It was started by a former Tesla board member and executive and it is led by Peter Rawlinson, the former chief engineer of the Tesla Model S. Several other Tesla engineers and executives have also joined the startup and they are now also adding Hochholdinger to the team...

Cue scene of a rat, scrambling down rope from stern-in-the-air Model S going down. Then Mr. Rat is in the water; struggling, failing.

Mr. Rat then looks around, sees several rat-buddies on a floating Model 3 bumper, now-worthless corporate bonds clog the water between them, but Mr. Rat is knows he's saved already. Cue Celine Dion, The End

Comment Wait a second... (Score 1) 364

People living in places like United Kingdom, Scandinavia, Russia, northern China, etc. got short-end of "climate apartheid" for, oh, I don't know, a written history or so. An odd pattern that peeps who had to invent their way out of such cold and misery had the toolkit to subsequently take over all the balmy places later.

Comment A billion dollars and some envy later... (Score 1) 97

...a clown finds its moral compass.

If so serious, give the IPO money back.

Its like after robbing a bank, one of the thieves rats on his co-conspirators because of his conscience...but keeps his stash of the take. Enough of that moral preening getting an applause line in this country. You hate global warming Mr. Trillionaire? Park the Gulfstream then, dumbass. Same thing here. I so hate entitled saccharine sanctimony from the rich.

Comment Affects the Venusian Doom delivery-date promises (Score 1) 245

Venusian Doom was promised by 2100 around 2009 or so. A couple of Carbon Cons later, and the collectivists promised Venusian Doom would be here by 2050.

Venusian Doom should arrive by 2030 or so now according to the trendy socialist-politicians in the west. I have seen no pushback from the alleged sober climate scientists about such outlandish claims, so they must be true.

So with just another couple papers from the climate scientists like this one (a couple drop every week), and Venusian Doom will have happened by 2015 or so at this rate.

Pretty big titted blonde Microsoft sales girl immediately dispatched to CERN to offer a two year discount on the commercial licenses back to the level of the former academic pricing.

CERN falls for it.

You know it happens.

Cue Swiss police responding to call at CERN's visitor office finding an out-of-retirement Steve Ballmer in blonde wig screaming about developers.

This would be the Microsoft approach to implementing your idea

Comment I loved the old NEC boxes (Score 1) 73

Back when I had a Sega Genesis/Megadrive, Turbografx-16 was the "enemy" platform. There were some good games though. Blazing Lazers in particular was pretty cool. Ghouls and Ghosts on Supergrafx also awesome. Remember being in arms race with kid across the street who's parents got him a Genesis, a Turbografx, and an Atari Lynx. I won that moon race with a Neo Geo and Magician Lord, but it was a Pyrrhic victory.

Comment Silicon Valley darlings in for the Treatment. (Score 1) 56

As in the Shark Treatment. The whole dynamic with YouTube depends on this BS "wink-wink we're just a platform not a publisher" shtick. Not believable of course, but the EULA pretty clear in page-after-page what they're NOT liable for. The whole piracy cloud YouTube actually is kinda depends on that EULA being literal and them staying a passive platform. Facebook same boat. Any/all of them are.

But they're not so smart about the law. YouTube'lll brag about this policy against the Uncle Touchers, but fact is now that they've claimed security against such things, they're exposing themselves to civil liability when said security fails, because they've set expectations.

Fact is politicians and lawyers smell blood in the water. Google and Facebook et al can get as woke as they want, but they are all now fat kids with broken legs treading water in Shark Cove watching the fins circling. Not going to be pretty. Welcome to Lawyer World, Googlers.
