    What Foods are Toxic to Dogs?

    Sugar – This applies to any food containing sugar. Make sure you check the ingredient label for human foods – corn syrup (which is a less expensive form of sugar or glucose) is found in just about everything these days. Too much sugar for your pup can lead to dental issues, obesity, and even diabetes.

    The Food Conglomerate Lobbyists also rally against displaying how many teaspoons of sugar something has - as consumers would be able to make a somewhat educated decision then.

    Example: I went to purchase a Dog Treat the other day from Costco, "Healthy Choice" something Milk Bones, ingredients: 1| Chicken, 2| Sugar...

    What the fuck is sugar being added to dog treats for. And that is pretty much your choice for any packaged Human food too, if it doesn't have HFCS or the branded newly branded "Corn Sugar" (which I've also seen on other human products @ Costco), then it has added sugar to it -- as a filler and to make it more pleasing/addictive.

    That's pretty close to my "absolute law": I should have the freedom to do whatever I want, so long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's freedom to do what they want.
    I'm sure one could find exceptions to this rule, but I'm also sure that a shit-load of existing laws could be contained within that ideology.
    It also highlights how ridiculous some US State laws are in regards to sexuality, marriage, drugs, etc really are.

  9. It has access to the regular AdBlock lists among others, that it utilizes to make custom rules for websites - so that things like Videos will work - without you needing to muck about with whitelisting yourself. I rather have control and whitelist what I want. What works especially well is Flash Control + uMatrix, without needing to whitelist the slew of XSS that most multimedia requires to display, "Flash Control" allows say an embedded video on foobar.com to run without needing to whitelist all of the possible IP's or cloud-services that the content might be hosted on --- while still blocking everything else 3rd-party.

  10. Firefox with uMatrix* works fine. No requests for 0.99c.

    I highly doubt I'll ever visit bild.de again though, it's just a tabloid. Although since it is not the USA there are Tits. Much like other countries UK, Canada, France, Germany, etc Tits are revered as glorious things as opposed to the place where nipples go that will scar scare and corrupt your children.

    (*) No changes to uMatrix's config|settings. And I don't subscribe to the automated lists for uMatrix.

  11. Re:Great Flood on Cape Verde Boulders Indicate Massive Tsunami 73,000 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    According to current standards, those ages seem ludicrous. Except, we pretty much know what causes aging --- we just don't know how to stop it or really even delay it beyond consuming less and expending less calories. We also know retro-viruses and other outside influences like possible protein generating bacterium can mutate and change DNA. Along with general long-term DNA mutations due to "natural" evolution.

    It is not outside the realm of possibility that there was a period in our world's history where we lived longer, perhaps even even much longer -- than we do now.

  12. Re:What new version of the iPod? on How Steve Jobs Outsmarted Carly Fiorina · · Score: 1
    The cNet link doesn't even support the supposed "article summary".

    Hewlett-Packard is ending a high-profile deal to resell Apple Computer's iPod. The deal, unveiled with much fanfare at the January 2004 Consumer Electronics Show, took awhile to get going, with HP taking seven months to announce its first product. "We do remain committed to our digital-entertainment strategy," HP spokesman Ross Camp said Friday. "We decided that reselling the iPod does not fit within that strategy."

    Although HP plans to stop selling Apple's players, it will take some time for that to happen. The computer maker recently announced a new lineup of HP-branded iPods. Camp said HP plans to continue reselling the music players through the end of September, when it expects to have sold through its inventory of iPods, iPod Minis and iPod Shuffles.

    Camp said that HP's "current plan" is to continue including Apple's iTunes software on its desktop and notebook PCs, as it has done since last year.

    Under the terms of HP's deal with Apple, the computer maker cannot develop or market a rival digital music player to the iPod until August 2006.

  13. "DISCOUNTING" Inflation... on EPA Gave Volkswagen a Free Pass On Emissions Ten Years Ago Due To Lack of Budget · · Score: 2

    It wasn't an inflation adjusted basis since 2002. The EPA has a smaller budget than in 2002 as they are DISCOUNTING (not even counting) inflation. If it was to be actually equal to the 2002 budget it would need to raise by ~1.02^13 (29%). If the budget hadn't been cut in 2010, then the EPA's budget would actually be on par with the 2002 figures.

    It would seem, something like a vetted database of Ads, be it images, scripts, or even 'some' video - should be created by the Ad-companies that would most benefit from user-trust in this area. The DB could be updated on a regular schedule, kept on the users device. Addresses and scripts would undergo local Anti-Virus software, along with the majors pre-vetting additions to the advertising DB.

    No Bandwidth usage to display an Ad.

  20. You Missed the BEST One on Node.js v4.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Version 6 is generally associated with failure in the world of dynamic languages. PHP 6 was a failure; Perl 6 was a failure. It's actually associated with failure also outside the dynamic language world - MySQL 6 also existed but never released. The perception of version 6 as a failure - not as a superstition but as a real world fact (similar to the association of the word 'Vista' with failure) - will reflect badly on this PHP version.

    Apparently, according to this PHP 6/7 RFC, version 6 of software is bad...
