Comment Another nonsense article... (Score 0) 121

We're trying to stay alive and enjoy life. We need food and fuel. The planet will be just fine. If we got rid of lunatic environmentalists then we might cut our carbon emissions since all they do is fly around the world holding useless meetings and writing useless reports.

Comment Re:Maryland you say? (Score 1) 34

A direct line between County Cork and Loudon VA does not go through the east coast of Maryland on a spherical earth, that was the only point I addressed. Even if you wanted to maximize how much is laid in the ocean as opposed to land, there are still shorter distances that would land you on at least in Delaware. While I am sure there are logistical reasons to do it where they are doing, that is irrelevant to my point.

First it was global freezing and the next ice age in the 70s, then global warming and now just climate change. You donâ(TM)t need the word change as that is already encompassed by the word climate. Remember the experts on tv during the first Gulf War saying how the Kuwaiti oil fires were going to cause a nuclear winter effect? I remember.

Comment Re: Year Of Linux On The Desktop (Score 2) 183

Thatâ(TM)s not the only reason; the other two big ones are:

2. Linux has never had the software range MS
has had, and the best Linux software is also on MS plus a lot more.
