Everyone knows that if the report showed apple with bigger sales numbers that your fanboy-attitude toward the discussion would be touting the sales majority as being some totem of greatness. Two faced, a fanboy is.
Slashdot is great for the discussion, and always very entertaining whenever the Apple fanboy segment is asked to mount up! Hilarious. In all my life I've yet to find a group that is so blatantly fanatical as the slashdot apple fans.
As a nation (and this is not just a US-only thing, though our budgets on these things are ridiculously destructive to our economy), we have spent so much trying to fight, spy upon, manipulate, etc, our adversaries; so much so, with so little actual 'impact' to show for it, that one has to wonder if there is a different approach that could be made.
Many have considered that the billions upon trillions spent in the middle east on war, if instead being allocated to some form of beneficence, like trade deficit to their benefit, or direct donation and investment, that we might have achieved more peace and prosperity than we have by way of warfare.
This fart of an idea that we need to reconstruct shredded documents (shredded classified documents resemble instant potatoes, not large strips of paper spaghetti), so we can basically steal more intelligence from our adversaries is just one more step in the wrong direction. How far have we actually come? What great change have we been able to induce? We threaten trade embargos if people don't do what we say... why not promote trade 'beneficence' to those we wish to influence?
I could steal your car at gunpoint, drive it for a while, then spend 50k on a lawyer to get me out of it.... or maybe I can offer you 50k and you gladly hand me the keys.
Lets have a drumroll for the pseud-intellectual patriot that will tell me we've fixed everything at gunpoint, that we've accomplished great things in the wake of killing people.... with casualty numbers that are in millions. Let me preempt your response with a quick "F U".
Lol. You missed the point in a few cycles of response....
The point was that unhealthy food is cheap, and that poor people cannot afford healthy food.
The difference between consuming the healthy food and the unhealthy food is a budgetary difference of about three fold. There is even a response to my commentary that shows its actually 18-fold.
And now your response, ignoring that the original point was that the healthy choices cost more and is hard on the poor, is that you should avoid the unhealthy food.... DUH! THE POINT IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE POOR YOU DON'T HAVE CHOICES LIKE THAT. The point is that when you buy fresh vegetables, protein, and fruit, you then cannot afford to ride the bus to work, or pay electric/gas bills.
Please don't forget/ignore context and subject of an argument in the future. Its ridiculous.
I'm specialized in the research end of the field. I'm happy to work every day, knowing that the technical skills I get to enjoy obsessing and tweaking, will bring enlightenment and benefit to others as a byproduct.
Now compare 1000 calories of the food you described to 1000 calories from carb-rich, high fructose corn syrup infused (subsidized), fatty, and salty, processed foods.
You'll find that, for sale, the unhealthy things in the supermarket that can comprise your diet are way cheaper than the healthy things.
Lets not forget that to eat HEALTHY food you need to spend about 300x what you would spend on unhealthy food. And you can't be working two jobs to make healthy food because it requires preparation. Processed food is way cheaper, and ready to consume, which is exactly what poor people are driven to consume since they often work far more hours, multiple jobs, both spouses working (if together at all), etc etc.
I'd like to subsidize veggies and protein, but all we get is more frikkin corn syrup.... My kid has a 'box top' drive at school: come to find the 'box tops' are only on HFC infused bullcrap nasty food that we wouldn't normally buy for our healthy eating family.... Nice to see the school system being so underfunded that they are passively influenced by big corn industry to urge their kids to consume more crap food and get some form of money from it...

As for the maternal DNA, demethylation, as far as I know, is unknown but occurs as well.
I'm curious if the disease that arises from these poor conditions is related to epigenetic changes that IMPRINT (are not demethylated, and thus passed through generations). As many are finding out, epigenetics are much more intricate and important than previously conceived.
If your point stands, why is my Sprint Samsung Epic 4g locked??
You still don't get it. The litle pieces and crappy assemblies of ideas you keep pushing about this topic is comedy at its best. Its fun watching you eat your foot evry step of the way.
What's the diff between a mob rule of citizens or a mob rule of political representatives? The bill of rights exists so that your fears don't need to exist. Then the scotus tramples it for dubious reasoning.
The difference is that the people are influenced by corporate media. Sources, and make bad choices; the politicians are owned by corporations and big businesses and make bad choices. Either way, fundamental change is required to make any true progress.
actually, about 18 of the top 25 interests were all marijuana legalization related. It wasn't just the #1 idea, but also most of the top 25 ideas. The laughing it off answer was a way bigger disrespect to the democracy that most people were tricked to thinking was happening.
Slashdot Mirror
No,.
Samsung, an android-phone manufacturer, ships phones.
Apple, an iOS phone manufacturer, ships phones.
Sprint, Verizon, ATT, are responsible for SELLING the phones.
Fan = short for 'fanatic'. Fanaticism = irrational.
A fanatic will not dispel sensationalism. www.dicitonary.com or www.google.com with 'define: fanatic". Words have meaning; use them wisely.

Fanboys mount up! Get your rhetorical jabs in quick! You don't want to lose the fight with buyer's remorse or ego defense!
Isn't that how governments solve these kinds of problems?

Fruit, Veggies, Protein = pricey
Carbs, Fats, Processed = cheap
You'll notice I meant to say 300%, and corrected that later.
To poor people, spending 200 dollars or 600 dollars is a big big difference. 600 dollars means there is no electricity or gas in the house, etc.
300%, not 300x. Sorry about that.... 3x or 300% was what I intended. Slashdot! y u no edit?

You don't get it.
Verizon dictates, htc produces, verizon sells and operates. verizon is largely at fault.
Better yet...
Sir, to us observing, YOU are not right. I know you don't understand why YOU are wrong, but we are here to help.
What we are now about to do to YOU will make YOU right. Do you understand? You're wrong because we say so. YOU'll be right when we fix it. Get me?
Ok. Put this device on and follow these procedures. In no time, we will have YOUR brain working the way we say its supposed to.
Done! Thanks for watching Fox News!
See you at the party, Richter!

Enjoy the map. The CEO of one corporation is on the board of directors for their friends' corporations who are on the board at their own...
Oh right.. lets keep pretending.
And the UK isn't europe!
You have the most appropriate response I've read so far. The notion of this is ridiculous!
There is not enough *wrong* with our current tech to necessitate this bullshit.
The best response is outrage, and th UK people should burn this idea to the ground and reprimand those pushing it!
