In the unlikely event I get a computer-killing virus, trojan, or exploit (hasn't happened since 1985), I figure I'll just trash the thing and buy another one for $300-400. Computers have become disposable just like other appliances.
It's not the computer that has value, it's your data.
Twitter doesn't store personal details. Even putting a name in your profile name is optional. How can they provide information they don't even collect?
Cancer itself could be considered a form of killing yourself.
I believe your literal translation is misplaced.
The term "killing yourself" strongly implies an explicit and voluntary act that results in your death. Merely having your body mutate without doing something to cause it (like jumping into a toxic waste dump) isn't a form of killing yourself.
Some rich asshole who runs the fucking things new beach house
Why do rich people that embezzle from charities always have to be called "assholes"? I mean, seriously, it's equally likely that he's an asshat, asswad, or assclown.
Stop jumping to conclusions, assface.
That's a common misconception. While there isn't much direct money involved in a cure, the drug companies still come out way ahead. If people don't die (and aren't even sick really) from cancer, they are more likely to buy other products, such as Viagra, that the drug companies are pushing.
As long as the average person thinks the relative likelihood of "science being right" and "nutball propaganda being right" is about the same or worse, nothing will change.
It pays to keep people uneducated: it's easier to scare, persuade, and misinform them.
The bigger fail is that the reuse is capped at 100.
That means that there is an upper limit of 450000 gallons before the hair becomes useless, at any rate.
If the current leak is 100,000 gallons/day, even under ideal circumstances this solution could only soak up 4.5 days worth of output.
I know it's fun to bash Microsoft and all, but the source site here is not, in fact, dead.
The other points in TFS might be valid, but I have doubts as to the poster's credibility.
I believe this "figleaf" character may just be trying to score some free karma or jollies or something by inciting the standard "M$ sux" response.
My own... is not great. I often miss... a word or two in a sentence. But they are often... words, and missing them leaves... sentence meaningless. If I counted the words I understand... I'd probably have a 95% success rate. But if I counted the... I understand correctly, I'd be around...%. So I get by, but... tend to annoy people when I ask for... over one missed word.
I don't think you can talk about things that have already happened like that. Like, if I draw a 7 of clubs out of a hat, it doesn't make it 100% chance that I'd've drawn a 7 of clubs, does it?

No sir, the unmitigated success of WoW is what everyone is going to try (almost always unsuccessfully) to copy for many years to come.
I thought it did? I've searched before submitting and didn't find the article I was submitting, but then when I pasted the URL and hit Preview it said it was a duplicate.
So, it has false positives as well as false negatives. That's good to know.
If you drive from Los Angeles to New York without using cruise control, it's hard to figure out exactly how many inches you'll drive (accounting for curves in roads on whichever route you choose), but there are ways, such as maps, to get pretty close approximations.

Isn't that what everyone is trying to do with their entire life?

That's for the courts to decide!
I really hate Congress. Is that wrong?
Well then you shouldn't have voted for them.
I'm just fucking with you, it doesn't really matter who you vote for.

Alice is a man.
I disagree, as per TFS:
Alice also introduces errors when she prepares the required quantum states to send to Bob
I'm not even sure why Eve cares... unless she is Bob's wife, or Alice's husband (Alice still calls "her" Steve).

There is no money in a cure....

Nothing to see here, move along.
76%+33%=109%
Good point, you need to give 110% to be successful!

Note the lack of an article between "with" and "little".
$500 amounts to around a week or so worth of work
Yeah, they can't afford much. The budget is kind of small - most of the money was allocated to fighting baldness and impotence.

The eighties were like half as groovy as the seventies, but twice as cool as the nineties.

I can see how this would be annoying.
50 trillion people will lose their jobs if Jessica Biel doesn't go out with me on Saturday... study says. There, it's true now and no one can deny it!
Are you counting dead people or people that haven't been born yet? Or maybe you've broadened your definition of people to include horses and sheep.
I'm gonna argue that a lack of net neutrality regulation will cost me 2.74 gazillion dollars, and sue the Federal Government for that amount.
That's a nice thought, but a real number would be more effective.

Yes, that's exactly what it means.
