Carbon capture is necessary and built into the IPCC's assumptions in a huge way

I have no experience with this, but I'd be worried that the Pirate Bay Edition just substituted hidden malware for Microsoft's crapware. How do you verify this?

So a 20% premium over a PC at the low end, with the gap widening as you move up the performance curve.

That's a pretty big premium for what seems like an intangible benefit.

You really had to be one of those refresh-every-minute slashdotters to get a low UID. I don't believe that made me cool in any way, but I'm kinda glad I have it now ;)

We'll miss you Rob!

Dude. You just Blew My Mind.

Quick, gimme a smoke. Jesus.

"Socialist pablum?" Dude, put the Fox News down before you hurt yourself.

Also, "bare arms" = short sleeves. I am exercising my right to bare arms at this very moment. You probably meant "bear arms", aka "carry arms". While it's not in the Canadian constitution, there are plenty of guns in Canada and you know it.

While we're at it, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms most certainly includes freedom of speech and religion. And I personally criticize the shit out of my municipal, provincial and federal governments on a regular (and public) basis. And I do so safe in the knowledge that they can't do a THING to me in retaliation. Jesus, did you sleep through grade 10 civics?

All things considered (seriously, you plan to "blow the head off some daft politician"?!?), I'd encourage you to apply for US citizenship as soon as you're able. I hear the Appalachians are lovely this time of year.

I'm reasonably sure that man can afford his own beer.

This is slashdot - that little animal is considered quite a looker!

So "X has lost its innocence" has, itself, lost its innocence.

Don't look at me, you said it :)
