Note at how it's a description of the theory, and it talks about it in a scientific way. These holistic idiots want to be able to say there shit works and remove any science that says otherwise.
You would have a point if wikipedia claimed string theory was a fact; which is does not.
And he isn't appealing to authority. He is saying get the science to prove it, which is completely different.
". After thgat[SIC] they have no business need for the data," actually they do. People don't pay there bills? they need it. People refute their bill? they need it. Someone bring a law suite? they need it. Financial records? they need it.
Voice calls interrupt, Text allows time for a response.
Or are you one of those people that demand everyone stop what they are doing so they can hold a 30 second conversation with you talking about what a few quick texts would get done?
of course it will, becasue t will be shot down by the pubs. like these changes usually are. Of course they will lock it down and everyone will blame Obama and completely ignore the fact of who actual stopped the vote.
The 'Stop everything and blame Obama' tactic is working wonders.
Data collect has real and useful uses and contrary to/. ignorance, data collection can help against a variety of crimes. Just blankly not allowing any surveillance would be stupid. Yes it needs to be limited, but the exact line is hard to find.
"There's plenty of hokum peddled by physicians, too. " true, but it's not medicine. And Dr. should lose there license when the peddle that crap.
" which is why you end up getting the "X is bad for you! Don't do/eat/use X!" " nope. You get that because the media reports on 1 study when they think that 1 study will get viewers. They never look at the body of research. That's for most of it.
The other part of that is science learns something unexpected and the previous 'bad' for you' statement becomes more nuanced.
"What I want is some real science." it's out there.
"GMO food is either harmless just a quicker form of breading, or it is actually bad. " GMO is a technique for creating new things. It's neither bad nor good. AN more then a hammer is bad or good.
"Organic vs traditional farming." Organic has less yields, more rot for no benefit.
Eat a reasonable balanced diet with some exercise. Something Dr.s have been saying for many decades.
"All fat no mussel." huh. I know a lot of vegans and vegetarian and all but one has any fat at all. And she is a recent vegetarian who is loosing weight. Note: I am not a vegetarian.
Yes, piecing the skin with a sharp object provokes a response. Gee fucking whiz. Acupuncture as been thoroughly studied with the highest level of rigor and it doesn't no more then talking to a Dr.
NIH's NCCAM has NEVER shown a positive result, and exists solely becasue a senator who believe in Woo forces it to exist at the cost of millions and million of dollars. It needs to be cut.
"Most of the information on Wikipedia is "biased, misleading, out of date, or just plain wrong."" False. "Even worse, most of it is plagiarized" no it isn't, and when it is it is removed.
"Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter et al. have concentrated the internet from a decentralized system of peers to a system not unlike old school TV, but participatory: a few big centralized forces control everything, and we participate out of fear that we would miss out otherwise."
Don't confuse you inability to think beyond those source for no one being able to think past those sources.
No it isn't, and no it doesn't. Some people abusing the system doesn't mean you throw out the system. Oh no! a car model had a problem lets redesign all cars from the bottom up!
Don't confuse the idea with the application. Should the person who invented automatic door opening not get a patent because people already knew how to open a door?
I ma not defending the patent troll, but you reasoning is seriously flawed, and shows an almost complete ignorance of the patent system.
"Yet, couldn't even break into the industry in the past 11 years. " then something is wrong with you. Either your expectation are far to high, or you stink. Literally. There is only 1 secret: Don't go through HR. Have a manger ask specifically for you. HR rules about hiring in companies are easily over ridden. I have had a lot of jobs that started with the manager having HR call me and me an offer; without having even seen my resume. One time I was at a user group chatting, and the person I was chatting with said "If you are looking for work, I can hire you' I said sure and 15 minutes later I had signed an offer. I made that company a lot of money.
If you are going through HR, then you are doing it wrong. I never got a job going through HR. Always contacts. Either old friends or I go to a conference, or a user group.
I went to a trade school for electronics. Used that to get into Computer programming. My career led me to developing robotic system with people from MIT and Cal-Tech, and I ran circles around them, and made a lot more money. I developed systems that allow for some amazing things.
Now, a degree has a lot of other benefits. Contacts, access to journals and labs, but
Motivation and a plan is far better in a career then your degree.
OTOH, I am a little freaky in that I am always studying something and have been for over 40 years.

it does no such thing.

It limits the time, and forces the NSA to go through channels instead of keeping everything internal.
It's a good balance, not grate, but good.
That's blatantly false.
Name something he said he would do, and didn't try?
Either he did it, or it was blocked.
Nope.
He is stay neutral on the spat between the two groups. He is not stay neutral in the surveillance.

"He's either in favour of the CIA behaving as it did"
He has been very clear he is not in favor of the type of behavior the CIA is accused of.
"r he's not really in charge of his own branch of government."
of course he is.
Here is a 3rd choice: It's fucking complicated.
Data collect has real and useful uses and contrary to /. ignorance, data collection can help against a variety of crimes.
Just blankly not allowing any surveillance would be stupid.
Yes it needs to be limited, but the exact line is hard to find.
Wikipedia requires a smaller grain of salt then most encyclopedias.
Which is why I prefer Science based medicine.

you don't know how podcasting works, do you?

that less then I make as a developer.
