fair enough. although i use a macbook pro, that is one of the reasons i will never buy an iphone, and probably not an ipad. i'll also never buy apple hardware again, if they ever move to something iOS-like on their computers.
maybe it's a moral compromise (though i can't see exactly how), but anyway the utilitarian gain for myself is substantial enough to warrant it.
or maybe he has things to get done and doesn't want to fret about losing sound or wifi or even a functional desktop, with every software update.
i don't see how simply using free software is morally superior. i can see a moral argument for only developing free software, but that can be done on mac os x as well.
there is an enzymatic production process for agave nectar too, with a different enzyme but from the same source, aspergillus niger. as i understand the enzymatic process accounts for much of the us market. it's even preferable to some people since it's more "raw," exploiting their idea of natural fermentation. ah, the power of marketing.
to be fair, corn syrup does require more steps; the sole step for agave is analogous to the last step for corn syrup; it breaks up starch (corn) or fiber (agave) into fructose.
which reminds me: agave nectar is mostly fructose, which is apparently only bad when it's in corn syrup. go figure.
i see your point now. yes, the price of american piss-water beer benefits from our cheap (and government subsidized) commodities. good beers benefit too, but proportionally less, since specialty ingredients comprise more of the mash.
aye, thanks. i drastically over-simplified the canola bit (canola is the food version of a crop, rape, that was only a lubricant). the point is, margarine turned out to be not such a great health food.
chicken wings: used to be offal, good only for thickening soups/stocks; now buffalo wings are even simulated by using the "higher-quality" white meat. skimmed milk: used to be thrown away or concentrated into whey solids. now also sold for the same price as real milk, while also selling the removed cream at a premium. possibly the greatest scam in culinary history. nutria/coypu: a predictably failed attempt to market this nuisance rodent as a food product. canola oil (and some other vegetable oils): formerly only a lubricant, hydrogenated into margarine as a "healthier" butter replacement, which it turned out not to be. trivia fact: canola is a trademark for CANadian Oil, Low Acid; the real name is "rapeseed oil," or sometimes even "rape oil," changed for obvious reasons.
i agree with you, but our placement on this list is definitely due at least partly to our low-quality beers.
the funny thing is i can buy 9% craft beer for less than 2.5x the unit price of a big-brand pisswater (3.5%) beer, and it tastes 10x better as well, but that doesn't show up on this chart. i bet we'd also be close to the top for consumer purchasing power of high-quality beer (however that's defined), but not #1.
it took me embarrassingly long to find this command, but i love it now. it just makes so much sense to have an opening command with its own features.
you can do "open -f" to open the stdin in the system default editor (e.g. ps aux | open -f); you can do "open -R foo" to open (in the gui) the closest directory containing foo (foo of course can be "."), you can use "-g" to run something in the background, and perhaps most importantly you can use "-n" to get around mac os's silly "only one instance of an app allowed at a time"-rule.
that's fine. you probably have enough money to buy other healthful foods, or you can buy wonder bread. i don't care. i'm just saying there's an option.
``In addition to creating the light pulse, he created an even faster camera to measure it, which is the Phase Retrieval by Omega Oscillation Filtering (PROOF).''
the omitted cases were due to not generating enough saliva for a melatonin assay. probably not much worry of confounding there.
it doesn't prove a whole lot, if anything. we already knew that blue light suppresses melatonin, and they give the predicted effect in the study along with their measurements. annoyingly, they don't give the two-hour theoretical effect, which is the regime in which they have statistical significance in their results. neither do they formally compare the tablet-only effect to high-blue-light (enforced by goggles) effect, but it's pretty obvious that the tablet isn't as bad. which, of course, isn't surprising since the lumens are lower.
conclusion: it's an almost completely useless study, but the statistics they give seem legit enough. they don't do multiple comparisons correction, but if they did, the two-hour effect would still be significant.
look, guys, if an experiment shows a statistically significant effect which also mostly conforms to the predicted effect (and there aren't blatant design errors), then there isn't much to complain about. i could, quite likely, have done this with n=6 (two for each treatment) and still gotten significance.
yeah, you're right. why enforce (or even have) laws against fraud, when the customers can just go somewhere else? it's only fraud if it affects a millionaire.
alright, something useful! i'll give this a shot, since i've definitely been in situations where vnc at least gave me something, while x was unusably crappy. thanks.

see above. i was stupid; canola is fine. the popularity of hydrogenated vegetable oil margarine was stupid.
aye, thanks. i drastically over-simplified the canola bit (canola is the food version of a crop, rape, that was only a lubricant). the point is, margarine turned out to be not such a great health food.
yeah. just like how so-called "agave nectar" is made in almost exactly the same way as evil, evil corn syrup.
chicken wings: used to be offal, good only for thickening soups/stocks; now buffalo wings are even simulated by using the "higher-quality" white meat.
skimmed milk: used to be thrown away or concentrated into whey solids. now also sold for the same price as real milk, while also selling the removed cream at a premium. possibly the greatest scam in culinary history.

yeah, that's true (for now), but, almost by definition, craft beers aren't commodities in the modern sense of the term.

no, it's not a rule at all. your information is about 45 years out of date.

some of which money may have gone toward a, shall we say, favorably-worded slashdot post.
what he was saying is, you copy the opponent's legend with the blue "Clone" card, and then play your own legend to destroy the opponent's original.
not very efficient, but it's good for lulz.
yeah, that's how i remember it being back when i played very briefly (revised). however, i agree with the argument for balance.
i just now looked back at magic for the first time in ages... weird. no more mana burn.
so you can destroy an opposing legend by playing your own copy? is that intentional?
die by the sword.
that's fine. you probably have enough money to buy other healthful foods, or you can buy wonder bread. i don't care. i'm just saying there's an option.
kale is about $1 a pound.

chickenshit in the face of laws enforced by government. you're not as clever as you think you are.

It was FF4 that was released as FF2 in the US.
