    You aren't really grasping this whole "information" concept are You? If they were telling you about music everyone already knows about, and everyone has heard / experienced via the medium everyone already has in their collection, THAT would be the time to complain.

    Nope ... They never stated or implied "just one"

    Slash, the CMS code used to run Slashdot, is already FOSS. I'm pretty sure that there was never a time when it wasn't in fact.

    Well you would still be running Microsoft software, so of course it is a "shit experience". The difference is that it would be a "shit experience" where you don't have to worry about malware, so it would be less of a "shit experience."

    You put the word "Speculation" in the wrong spot in your post. It should have been at the beginning, preceded only by the word "fantastical".

    More like it would be completely unreasonable for one to not doubt he is the perpetrator.

    Actually, you can't figure out how all this works. Saying what you said is equivalent to saying everyone running Windows 7 and 8 are running the insecure versions of Windows, and all those running 10 are running "the secure version."

    Withdrawal from opiates is not life threatening. You can die from withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines, but not opiates. You seem to be confused about what the term addiction means when used in a clinical setting. Minor withdrawal symptoms alone do not meet the criteria by any stretch of the imagination. You can consult the DSM if you would like to be educated on this subject but as it stands you make it perfectly clear that you have zero knowledge of the subject matter.

    Your lack of understanding astounds. Coffee is not in the DSM. Nobody drinks coffee and winds up homeless because of it and keeps drinking coffee. You are literally conflating "coffee gives you headaches if you drink a lot then stop" with "addiction to drugs ruins lives."

    Let me start with your most easily disproved claim, to wit that 12 Step programs work. The CDC and the NIMH both have studied it and concluded that success rates are lower for those who attempt recovery with the 12 Step model than those that don't. In other words, those few who do stay away from drugs including alcohol succeed in spite of AA, not because of it. The next ridiculous thing you assert is that addicts substitute using nicotine, as if they didn't smoke or drink coffee prior to abstaining from drugs (incl. Alcohol). Finally, you don't even know the clinical definition of addiction. I assure you coffee is not in the DSM.

    Way to start on the assumption that the claim is correct and then come up with a ridiculous argument to arrive there. It isn't even a believable rationalization.

    Again, plenty of people smoke cigarettes but don't drink excessively or do other drugs. You are the one trying to present a subset of the facts to prove a point, while claiming ignoring facts is important if you want to have a valid point.

    No, it does not. It supports the idea that free coffee is much cheaper than free healthy beverages. Also most ex users are STILL cigarette smokers, and they prefer to enjoy their cigarettes with coffee not milk. You disingenuously left out the point I made regarding Starbucks and other coffee houses of course.

    You have clearly never ordered a quad Grande white chocolate mocha at starbucks. You can get the same caffeine from multiple coffees as from energy drinks. The individual claims to have first hand experience from more than 25 years ago, which pre-dates energy drinow. None of your attempts to discredit hold even a modicum of water.

    If one goes to any 12 Step Meetings then they will discover that there is coffee and lots of people that claim, like you, that they "know how addicts think". If you go to your local Starbucks you will find coffee and lots of people who claim they have no idea how "an addict thinks". If you can't see what is wrong with your claim that coffee leads to addiction now, you should probably stop filling your head with the nonsensical cognitive distortions prevalent in said meetings.

    The word Nazi is not a synonym for bigot. You can be a bigot without marching through an area that you know doesn't want you there shouting Heil Trump, carrying Tiki torches you got at the Dollar store, giving the Nazi salute, and running young women and others over with your Redneck Mobile.

    It is not his personal account, it is the President's account. He can cease to be the President if he would like, and as we all certainly would like, but it won't be his personal account again until then. He doesn't get to say "I say this as President, but now as I say this next thing it is not the words of the President."
