@DarrenOsadchuk Whether or not that was true before (I'd say it was) it's certainly true now that users can choose keyboards.

Recall that "htML" stands for "markup language", not "sluggish application platform for low-resource devices". I miss words and <P> tags.

Dear content websites: please stop trying to be mobile app UI. You're making the web slower and crashier than it was in 1995.

Bought the iPhone 6+ on AT&T's interesting no-contract plan: pay unlocked price in 20 monthly installments, optional trade-in at 12 months.

I've implemented an elegant defense against brute-force iCloud account hacking. It's called "not being a celebrity". http://t.co/pzf4vGq5VU

@DarrenOsadchuk @stormsweeper Can't convince over Twitter (beer might work), just laying a bet: no human-caused runaway warming, ever.

[Evan Kirchhoff @theevank]

@DarrenOsadchuk @stormsweeper But the deranged part is that everyone is implicitly having a POLITICAL argument over a basic empirical issue.

[Evan Kirchhoff @theevank]

@DarrenOsadchuk @stormsweeper Again, been watching this satellite data, it's on the relevant gov't sites; ice rebounded hard a few yrs ago.

[Evan Kirchhoff @theevank]

@DarrenOsadchuk I absolutely grant you that UK tabloids are a crappy cite, though! I need to not be cranky on open Twitter.

[Evan Kirchhoff @theevank]

@DarrenOsadchuk Apart from that, I guess it is pretty good science? :)

[Evan Kirchhoff @theevank]

@DarrenOsadchuk The chemistry, physics, and math are bad, the primary temp data is ludicrous, and the modeling gives epicycles a bad name.

[Evan Kirchhoff @theevank]

@DarrenOsadchuk Fair enough, but I've got a science degree, wrote an MA thesis on chaos and climate modeling, and followed this for 12 yrs.

[Evan Kirchhoff @theevank]

@DarrenOsadchuk I am actually no-kidding worried about overdue ice ages. The warming won't matter within our great-grandchildren's lives.

[Evan Kirchhoff @theevank]

@DarrenOsadchuk Heh, Slate takes 2 paragraphs to hit appeal to authority. CO2 anthro-warming blew past Popperian falsification around 2005

Cellphone kill-switches: redundant and guaranteed to be abused. The good news: there is an opt-out. http://t.co/rzrt7amZGZ

No. Just don't. Also: Papyrus font, really?
