I am literally just withholding judgement. The opinion only needs to be challenged if it feels threatened. I do not wish to challenge it personally but would passively accept more …

We all are - that's what defines your personality. We are just a bunch of memes. You are selective in what you have chosen to accept as fact too. You can't get out of that argument…

That's some good information. Thank you. This is quality discussion. The irony of the concept of denial is that those (like myself) who choose not to form an opinion yet are lumped…

You've demonstrated my point entirely. I have been there but I cannot prove it. The idea that going there doesn't prove anything as well is valid. So it's not possible to draw a co…

I accept tangibles without evidence. Neither of the original points were tangible or independently verifiable. I do not accept memes and ideas without supporting evidence. Please p…

Well that's kind of the reply I expected. You're reacting as per my comment here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4223478 (see note on red vs blue). I am neither a Republican v…

This is a fair point and one I agree with, however the issue at the moment at least is that as standard of living grows, problems are pushed to other places. This is because they a…

It's a fair observation, but that is the US. There's a big rug in the far east with lots of toxic crap under it. There's also a lot of stuff we buried in various places and cross f…

I think you haven't been around long enough to remember the climate scandals of the 1970s. You know when we had an impending ice age. My grandfather also reminded me of the heatwav…

Oh here we go. Go and re-read my comments, then attempt to understand them again. The word fabricated is wrong. The issue is that we are fed assumptions and conclusions without the…

The reason it introduces so much emotion is that it's used as political leverage and people get all uppety when red vs blue comes into the picture. We're screwing up our direct env…

How do we know if thousands of years ago, glaciers that were thousands of years old weren't disappearing as well?

Probably was. Climate doom and gloom is a political thing, not a scientific thing. It's not possible to take at best 80 years of reasonable data from 4.54 billion years of the plan…

The typical response. The burden of proof is on the inclusive case. Were you there? If not, all you have is stories passed down built on propaganda. I don't disbelieve, but i expec…

This is true. I think most of the RT stuff i.e. GSM/3G stuff is offloaded onto dedicated devices.

I reckon this is because the ranking algorithm deranked them when their click through from bing rate declined after the sudden publicity storm. Their #visitors delta probably went …

Not quite - that's what your history teacher taught you. There's evidence that an undetermined but quite large number of people sadly died in concentration camps during the second …

This is what we're doing. WP works very well in this environment already and the handsets are dirt cheap.

Indeed. Without wanting to gush too much, but NT is a wonderful piece of technology. It's orders of magnitude better than anything else on the market without a doubt for any applic…

Statcounter is a horse shit merchant. It's a bad choice for measuring market share statistics for anything. Let's take a look at this specific case and why it's wrong: 1. A lot of …

Spot on. WP has good web integration as well i.e you can pin web sites to the start screen so there's a good opportunity there to bridge the gap.

99% of people don't know or care. At least in the UK, we're buying tonnes of them. 3 months ago, iPhones everywhere in our office. Now all I see is "sent from my windows phone" all…

http://www.businessinsider.com/finally-microsoft-has-stopped... Inevitably, they put the reverse spin on it because it's trendy... Also, you've got to call bullshit on the stats as…

Throw your iPhone away as well. Apple are bound by the PATRIOT act.

I'm sure it will. WP has superior features to BlackBerry OS (esp Facebook, twitter integration, messaging) and the devices are cheaper than comparable Blackberry, Android and iOS d…
