You're right, the sugar quotas and corn subsidies raise prices (directly or indirectly) for almost all consumable items. The jury is still out on whether HFCS truly is tied to obesity (there are studies that go both ways, and TFA adds as far as I can tell nothing new to the debate), but there is absolutely no question that it kills us economically.

Just check out this research study that estimates that subtracting the benefits of the quotas/subsidies from the costs (i.e. consumer/producer benefits of lower costs minus "oh but the poor farming corporations!") leaves the American economy almost billion dollars per year better off.

  Two wrongs don't make a right ideally. However, the only feasable way to deal with terrorism and islamic mob savagery is to retaliate tenfold. America's success in Afghanistan against the Taliban, and Israel's successes in defeating the PLO, and Fatah, and Hamas are proof of that.

    India has history, art, science, technology, the world's largest democracy and third largest army.

    If anything, Indians are doing a poor job of taking care of the terrorists. The incompetent and corrupt UPA government seems to learn nothing. If it were the Israelis in Kashmir, the Jihadis would all be urinating in their pants by now, gibbering for mercy like retarded people.

"If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about."

This is the most naive, despicably un-American sentiment of all the tripe that's thrown around in this charade that is post-9/11 paranoia.

I'm sorry for being ad hominem, but please, try to use your imagination here.

This sheep-like "nothing bad happens to good people" mentality is the type of smug, head-in-the-sand mentality that destroys free society. My folks emigrated from behind the "Iron Curtain" in the late 60s exactly to escape the sort of propoganda and easy government-sanctioned persecution that I see creeping up all around us. Let me tell you stories about family and friends fired, harrassed, jailed, and yeah, even tortured because their actions were "misinterpreted", Sometimes they were released without apology a few months later, sometimes not. Sometimes the reason for the police action was political. Sometimes they were framed by competitors. Sometimes they were "snitched" on by neighbors with vendettas. Sometimes they just had the wrong guy. When paranoia rules and every out-of-step behavior is potentially subversive (or "terroristic") it's pretty easy to wreak havoc with people's lives, either intentionally or not.

But that doesn't happen here, right? You wouldn't get labeled terrorist and jailed indefinitely for something as silly as trolling unsavory websites right? Or be charged with a crime and have your property destroyed because you had a stupid bumper sticker, right? And we'd never get so paranoid about air travel as to make a mother drink her own breast milk to prove its safe before boarding a plane, or maybe create a secret no-fly list that is impossible to audit or even acknowledge but sometimes bars toddlers from flying because they might be terrorists (along with hundreds of others, including members of Congress), right? I mean, these are good people who didn't do anything wrong. I can't imagine that there'd be a slew of kafkaesque civil rights abuses that an internal Justice Dept. investigation might uncover, right? (I won't even touch domestic wiretapping) I mean, those who have nothing to fear have nothing to hide, right? Right.

These are just small examples, and maybe not even very good one. And maybe you'll never inconvenienced like the couple in this story. But who knows. Maybe you'll be the victim of identity theft, or even framed.. Maybe you'll have to engage in some bizzare but innocent behavior. Maybe you'll want to voice an unpopular opinion, or go read/hear someone else's horrible and unpopular opinion. Or maybe it'll just be some bureaucratic "oops". But, if it does happen, and YOU find yourself interrogated by the FBI, or forced to explain some blotch on your record for the rest of your life, or maybe even jailed without charge for a few months, then you come tell me how, sure, maybe you lost three months of your life in a cell being molested by thugs, but hey, at the end, everyone figured out it was just a big mistake. So really, it was OK. We're all safer for it. God bless America.

Dear Cecil:

In looking over the instructions that were so thoughtfully included along with Form 1040, I see that "embezzled or other illegal income" is specifically mentioned as a type of income one must report. How long has this been in there? If someone were to report illegal income, would the IRS notify other authorities, or would they be happy just to get their cut? --Loren B., Dallas

Dear Loren:

IRS has been listing "embezzled or other illegal income" for years, but they don't really expect the nation's criminals to comply. It's just that income-tax evasion is often the only thing prosecutors can pin on big-time crooks. The notice prevents the bad guys from arguing that nobody told them they were required to report their ill-gotten gains. If anybody was actually dumb enough to send in a list of his swag for the year, the folks at the IRS say they'd promptly alert the appropriate authorities.

Well, from what I've read from the people that have taken the new Intel Mini apart it doesn't sound like there's room for an add-on graphics chip. So Apple would probably have to change the form factor in order to add a better graphics chip.

It's kind of ironic though. One of Apple's selling points (Google Cache) for the PPC Mini was that it didn't have an integrated graphics card:

Go ahead, just try to play Halo on a budget PC. Most say they're good for 2D games only. That's because an "integrated Intel graphics" chip steals power from the CPU and siphons off memory from system-level RAM. You'd have to buy an extra card to get the graphics performance of Mac mini, and some cheaper PCs don't even have an open slot to let you add one. [emphasis mine]

Oh well, a bit of a step backwards on the graphics front. But a bunch of Core Duo Minis would make a great, inexpensive Xcode build farm.

what about CNN then? (sorry, the direct link was probably moved, this is the Google cache link) it has numbers for Q4 on Sony - and in no way the gaming division is supporting things like Sony-Ericsson, Sony BMG, Sony Pictures Entertainment and so on. Heck, even Sony's LCD business looks to be booming.

So yeah, while they've been hit by bad PR lately, Sony is far from living off PS2.

wtf - these need updated too.
I doubt many can even get the scrolls to run anymore.

I find the summary to be borderline trollish flaimbait. It seems to draw the conclusion that the U.S. committee that approved the ports deal supports Arabs but when it comes to Israelis, it rejects the deal. Many have already clearly pointed out in the comments that the security of our ports still must conform to U.S. standards and is open to surprise spotchecks whenever they are necessary. Our ports, our soil but the profits go to a foreign company--in this case the UAE--instead of a local American firm. Ports in Oakland, California are owned by the Danes as are many other such operations. The Arabs in the UAE have a vested interest in making sure that the port succeeds to the sake of profits. Another little cited but obvious fact is that when a foreign company puts money into a tangible asset such as a port or bonds, etc. then the United States can sieze that money if it suspects terrorism. To draw a Arab versus Israeli bias at this point is ludicrious. I'm actually surprised the summary didn't go as far as to call the U.S. committee anti-Semitic as so often happens when something doesn't go Israel's way. The problem is that an executive on Sourcefire's board happens to be the author of Snort. Snort is used to protect many computer systems within the government and military. Knowing how slow these beaurocracies move means that if the Israeli company were to find holes in snort, they could spy on U.S. systems. Would Israel spy on the United States? Yes, it has happened before. Links are available here and here (An Israeli mainstream paper!) and here and here (disappeared, linkrot? google cache of article.

When Arial Sharon, Prime Minister of Israel, openly bragged on October 3rd that, "We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it", why should I not find this statement objectionable, and anti-American? I whole-heartedly support this inquiry because the Israelis cannot be trusted with our (American) interests.

OGG typically takes 2/3 of the space a comparable mp3 does and is free of licensing and patent problems. If you want compressed music you want OGG.

As for media player integration, I see things the other way. Most available devices don't integrate well with my choice of free media player. There are many that are harder to get that I'd like.

The Z5 is not one of them, despite ogg support. As an AC pointed out, it uses MTP, a crappy M$ transfer protocol, which is still a pain in the ass.

Works for Sure is starting to mean just the opposite for me. If you want to see a real flop, look at the New Napster and others trying to make a buck for Bill. There you will find billions of dollars worth of hints. People don't want DRM, they want stuff that works. WMP has a well deserved horrible reputation.

In the mean time, I'm stuck converting ogg to mp3 or keeping everything in both formats for my cheap portable music device. That's not too big a deal and I can wait.

Can't stand wearing things on my wrist. My Timex clip watch has, belive it or not, a "screen saver" mode and a built-in "magic 8-ball" yes/no question answerer (no competition for the real thing of course, though that site seems to be down). For dressing up I have a brass pocketwatch I got in Japan - battery powered, nothing fancy but nice.

I assume that this company is at risk from such infiltration for several reasons.

- Control of port security, especially in New York City, is too sensitive to be exposed to risks evaluated by a foreign corporation
- Dubai was a hub of activity in the operation that planebombed NYC and the Pentagon on 9/11/2001
- Dubai does not rigorously monitor or oversee operations that terrorists like the Qaeda use to attack us

Port security needs to be tighter, not looser. Depending on not just any US corporation, but a good one, with proven rigor and competence, and the vested interest in its own domestic security. And, since you asked, I am opposed to foreign ownership of critical US infrastructure, when the foreign owners have an interest in, or even just acceptance of, harm to the US, and a controlling ownership. That's the entire purpose of the presidential oversight board, which has instead signed over this critical facility, even over the public objections of New Yorkers, and politicians who represent us. FWIW, I don't see Bush handing Houston ports over to an emir's corporation.

You forgot to add that Ed Chavez is a Democrat and a member of the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride Coalition. As such, I'm pretty sure he's not going to be going out of his way to denigrate communism any time soon. More likely would be some sort of anti-war rant.

"Isn't that the school kids version electrons orbiting a nucleus a simplified model which works mostly."

Why yes it is! The crackpot that literally dreamed it up was Rutherford. You are right though it is not the most modern idea. As far as puddings are concerned it appears to be rasins not razors, so I was wrong there also, neither "mistake" negates the point of my example.

I went looking for a pudding reference and found this article discussing the limits of science.

From the link: In 1898, J.J. Thomson proposed that atoms are clumps of matter with electrons embedded in them, like raisins in a fruitcake. This idea was soon rejected, and replaced by Rutherford's idea that electrons orbit around the nucleus like planets, with empty space between them. During the early twentieth century, it was believed that electrons, protons, and neutrons are elementary particles which cannot be broken down further.

A wise school teacher will go to great pains to relate why the pudding idea lost out and the fact that Rutherford was still not completely accurate, they are also likely to gloss over the "what are protons made of" question and point the kid to a book. An ignorant teacher will put a misleading bumper sticker about the nature of truth on the front cover of the same book.

Taqqiya is not as innocent a concept as you want to believe. Go here; you might learn something. If you want to just bend over, grab your ankles, and be a good little dhimmi, that's your choice...but it should at least be an informed choice.

A relationship between parity and life span was found by Kitagawa and Hauser (1975), and Doblhammer (1996). Both studies found a U-shaped mortality pattern: mortality is highest for childless women and women of higher parity, while it is lowest for parities two and three.

Indeed, and such a study was done. The conclusion was a statistically significant increase in the lifespan of mothers vs. childless women, although environmental factors (status level and level of education) were more significant.

Interestingly, older mothers had a slower rate of aging than young mothers.

Interpolation through motion compensation! Yes that brain-ruining technology that takes multiple low-resolution shots of a scene and merges them into a single high-resolution shot!

Yes the technology is real, but even worse for camera designers they'll have to include motion compensation as well - tracking the motion of every object between shots and interpolating between them to decide where they should be. This technology already exists for televisions that deinterlace signals into progressive streams (or do it properly, anyway) - there are systems that, should a clock's pendulum swing left and right in subsequent half-height frames, will output a single higher-resolution frame with the pendulum in the middle. After all, that's where it decided its motion would take it.

So the future of digital cameras won't be hardware, but software wizardry. There's still plenty of room to improve too - if you've ever seen before/after pictures from satellites that NASA has worked their wizardry on, you'll see the kind of improvement we can still get from our cameras.

How the hell is the parent flamebait when he/she has spoken the truth? Oh, that's right, this is slashdot. If you want to see a 'flamebait', i'll show you a 'flamebait', although it may be true.

The reason why the parent was modded 'flamebiat' is slashdot is full of communists that hate capitalism. Maybe that's why the 'Linux rulz, windoze drulz' comments are modded up and yet not only are the posts that are in favor of Windows are modded into oblivion, the users that post them are also mod bombed across all of their posts into oblivion.

Yes, linux is communist in nature, as it goes by the communist GPL. Anyone using GPL licensing must release their software using the GPL as well, and must include the source code. Hmm, sounds similar to communist nations trying to expand communism by invading other nations.

As for the rebates, If you don't like it, simply vote with your wallet instead of whining about it and wanting another law passed or suing them in court. oh, that's right, slashdotters prefer communism because they know they are Worthless.

Both companies have market capitalizations of about $250 billion. Walmart, Microsoft. The microsoft article also shows that IBM has a market capitalization of about $60 billion. Realize, however, that market capitalization is only a measure of estimated company earning power not actual worth. People have insane expectations for Microsoft's continued earning power in a competitive market that contains zero cost competitors, so their small propaganda might work out soon.

My father grew up within a society that valued "being a man": being responsible for your own station in life...

Would this be the same times when a woman "did what she was told", "children were seen, not heard", or when civil rights for minorities were but a pipe-dream? Would this be the time when McCarthyism was running rampant out of control? Or while Hoover was "dressing up"? Maybe it was while the Americans were fulfilling their "Manifest Destiny". Maybe it was during the depression...oh, those were the days.
And you knew who you were then... Girls were girls and men were men...

Whatever happened to "there's no time like the present"? We only have two things that we didn't have in the past, easy travel(made needlessly difficult by bureaucracy) and instant communications. Other that those, very little has changed in 5000 years. War, famine, and disease have not diminished much. They simply relocate.
