Compare the impact of years of hockey stick graphs and environmental science dorks to <em>An Inconvenient Truth</em>. It's nothing to do with being right or wrong, it's about the effectiveness of the communication.

It starts off pretending to be a CDROM drive on the USB bus, then auto-runs an installer for its Microsoft Windows driver, then drops off the USB bus and comes back as a network adapter.
