There are also enzymes for digesting lactose in milk to begin with. But pasteurization destroys those enzymes (as well as a multitude of other enzymes and nutrients).
Of course there's also bacteria and other scary things in milk that make it go bad fast, which is why we pasteurize it.
Thanks for including some links, hope you get modded up. I've heard similar about milk especially, that processing is the reason the milk most people drink is essentially liquid fat with undigestable sugars (lactose) and proteins (casein).
Exactly. Fear and controversy sells, no conspiracy required. Yellow journalism is nothing new, and the media has been consolidated into only a few sources trying to out-yellow each other.
I'm not sure if the internet is any better, with people (at times) intentionally picking news sources that agree with all their preconceived notions. But at least the reader comments under stories on the interwebs can often call out yellow journalism and link to the truth.
If you went and read a blog post by a skateboarding pot smoker, you most likely WOULD have to use ubandictionary.com or similar to understand it.
There's a good chance he would need to do the same to read various texts written by you.
Both of you could read the majority of each others' written works anyway. This is your dreaded "lowest common denominator" at work. If it bothers you, perhaps you should make more effort to keep up with the new terms continually entering common parlance.
Yes, this is how language works. Now get off my damn lawn.
Yep, this. I tried to do the upgrade and was a little surprised when it asked for FTP login information. I had never even tried the "automatic upgrade" because I knew making my entire wordpress install modifiable by apache was a blatantly bad idea.
The use of the FTP account to do it makes a good deal of sense, and is about the best they can do.
Honestly the manual upgrade is so easy as to be laughable anyway, but for the frequency of WP updates, anything that makes it easier is still a good thing.
The whole point of the judiciary is to not care about nonsense like "judicial activism", but instead to do their jobs correctly. The people who throw about meaningless insults like that, will find something to insult regardless. Upholding serial term extension for copyright violated any reasonable reading of the law and the phrase "for limited times".
If you're actually the OP (which I'm doubting due to AC), that's a pretty important detail to mention in your claim. If the server survived and gave a "Quota Reached" message, that's a very specific failure case at odds with a "no quotas" claim.
In the OP it was just stated "my account didn't last". That's awfully vague and could be for any number of reasons other than bandwidth.
It's hard to tell, but I believe the OP was being sarcastic. The point is that Apple DID recall millions of Powerbook batteries that were exploding. Therefore they have a history of admitting and recalling when there IS a legitimate problem with a product.
People damage their cell phones and ipods all the time. My cell phone is covered with scratches because I put it in my pocket with my keys. Only an idiot would blame the manufacturer for getting scratched by sharp metal objects. Yet when it comes to Apple, you see news article after news article because, surprise! Apple products can be damaged by mistreatment.
Yeah. It's pretty standard for websites to allow e-mail to an arbitrary address. Every time you sign up for a website, they send an e-mail to an arbitrary address.
The difference is every other website sends a FORM LETTER to the address. Letting you type in a message (and especially making it the entirety or bulk of the e-mail) is what turned this into a stupid idea. Easy to fix too, if they just get rid of the "type your message here" box and do a form letter instead.
when all the phones are total crap, the network is useless.
Right, unless you, ya know, use your phone to make phone calls.
In which case the network is far more important than anything else. Unfortunately that is how Verizon gets away with having such craptastic neutered phones.
There is absolutely nothing that will prevent you from playing Starcraft 2 in a LAN in the way you discuss. The only requirements are:
1. Your LAN has to have an internet connection (pretty standard anyway, I had NAT boxes hooked up for LANs 12+ years ago with dial-up)
2. Everyone who is playing must own the game.
#1 is a non-issue, really. #2 though is key. LANs in the past were a great way for people to be exposed to new video games, and get intrigued and excited enough to buy them.
Now when you have a LAN, instead of saying "we'll be playing games X, Y, Z, we'll pass the install CD around when you get here", it's going to be "Oh, you didn't buy Starcraft 2? Sorry, you can't play at our LAN".
This is what the lack of LAN play loses for us, the ability to play with friends who haven't bought the game, often convincing them to buy the game in the process.
I'm hoping they put in some kind of spawn/demo play to support playing with friends, perhaps both at LANs and over the internet. Maybe limit it to 1 or 2 maps, or limit the character progression. But something to help get new people into the game.
It's too bad they won't be integrating into Valve's Steam, at least for chat. But the fact that Steam is single-platform is most likely a deal killer for Blizzard.
I doubt Blizzard will be selling non-Blizzard "games" any time soon. But they're making out Starcraft 2 to be a Total Conversion platform (if anyone remembers that term) including an app store and payments to the developers. And the same thing for "maps" too, of course. That's going to be very interesting to see where that goes.
I'm sorry, but do you really think someone will "hack in" LAN a couple hours after release? The game does not include any internet play except through Battle.net.
It's certainly possible someone might hack in LAN play, but it will be a large effort to do so. This isn't just flipping some bit in the code to skip a key check, you're talking about programming in a brand new feature.
Also: they're including offline play for single player, and we have no idea what sort of demo or "spawn" installs they might include.
Regardless, the vast majority of their player base is going to be buying a copy of the game and primarily playing over the internet.
The big risk is that they're losing the people who find out about the game through LAN parties at work or at a friend's house. That was brilliant advertising in the past, and hopefully they'll do some kind of (likely limited) spawn install to keep it around.
It would probably still require an internet connection and go through Battle.net, regardless.
The grey area is the fact that "banning" gay marriage is essentially a farce. There are no clear cut "male" and "female" designations being used presently to control marriage.
Any normal gay couple out there, for instance, can have one of the couple get a sex change and/or take some hormones (depending on the state) and get married as a Male+Female couple already. Even if both of the couple are 100% XY male in every way imaginable.
On the other hand, there are hermaphrodites and transgenders who biologically (whether genetic or hormonal) are a different gender than the sex listed on their birth certificate and driver's license. They can not enter a legally binding relationship (marriage or civil union) with the opposite gender.
(I've tried to be careful to use "sex" to refer to genetic+legal sex, and gender to refer to hormonal gender self-identity, which may or may not match the individual's sex)
All of this grey area corresponds pretty precisely between marriage and competitive sports. Both involve an organization attempting to segregate based on binary values for sex. Which unfortunately, is not how humans work. Regardless of what is or isn't covered in various religious texts.
Does that mean every male runner should get a sex change operation (reroll female) and join the women's competition for an easy win?
What you're suggesting is that the olympics should ignore sex entirely. It would certainly solve the grey areas between male and female, but it would also completely eliminate competition for the (roughly) half of the population of the "lesser" sex for that particular sport.
Nicely summarized. There's a huge grey area, and no easy answers. This is the type of thing that's completely ignored, for instance, in "gay marriage" debates.
Common language and legal definitions are not the same. I totally agree that murder means something very specific in the courtroom.
Fortunately, Slashdot is not a courtroom.
I've also heard the term used lately referring to consumption of beverages and food. Good lucking finding that in the law books or an outdated dictionary.

I didn't RTFA, but right there in the summary it states that the subjects talked to members of the research team.
The volunteers then spent seven minutes chatting to male or female members of the research team before repeating the test.
So they already had attractive women in the lab, then brought in 40 men.
Draw your own conclusions.
Did they block you from transferring data, or did your server run out of processing power?
Or did you somehow think bandwidth was the same thing as the other server performance metrics?
Would you rather be blinded if you happen to be looking at the target, or blown to shreds?
I'd pick being blinded. Better yet, do not look at Airborne Boeing Laser with other eye.

It *sounds* like what they're doing is attempting a smear and astroturf campaign, rather than a "strategic meeting to provide better products".
That is why this appears to be dishonest and evil, while Google does not.
Is there a law that requires that their job be possible?
Especially when "their job" equates to "gaming the results of another company's business"?

You may be vastly overestimating the amount of Exchange support there is out there from non-Microsoft products.
Gnome's Evolution, for example, has a horrid hack of Exchange support where it spiders the Outlook Web Access (webmail) to scrape your e-mail.
The real surprise here is that companies use Exchange at all >.
Pretty on-topic IMO :)
