However, glucose and fructose are readily converted into one another in your body. "Table" sugar is sucrose which is 50% each glucose and fructose. HFCS is also 50% of each but sweeter than sucrose which is why it is used. And all of these are converted into glucose, which is the form in which your body stores spare carbs.
(Technically much of it is stored as glycogen which is long chains, but they are long chains of glucose, not fructose or any other sugar).
I recall an interview with supposed "Diablo-Killer" Titan's Quest creators who attributed the poor sales of their well-reviewed game to the fact that their prospective player-base could not break away from their MMOGs.
At least they didn't jump on the bandwagon and blame file sharing:p
According to him, a lot of Chinese youth are extremely nationalistic, and are "brainwashed" by the government. The government hires people to parrot their views of events as if they're normal citizens telling their own personal viewpoints.
Ah, yeah, we see the same thing in the U.S., even though we have more access to alternative viewpoints. Just replace "government" with "party". Doesn't matter which party, they both do it.
Nothing makes me want to puke more than people repeating left/right talking points as if the idea just came to them.
there are a lot of children (and a 14-16 year old is still a child no matter how much they protest)
Teens are not children. They aren't adults. They're in between. For whatever reason, the law (and most people's brains) is only capable of imagining 2 categories. In this case, a 3rd category is relevant. The idea of a 7 year old doing what many 14 year olds do is sickening. The idea of 14 year olds doing what many adults do may be worrysome (if you're the parent), but it's hardly sickening. Teens are not children. And they don't really make worse decisions about partners and sex than most 30 year olds do.
The US government has taps on all internet backbones. Even if you go through a proxy, they will be able to identify your IP address if you access such information.
That's what bringing your laptop to Starbucks is for.
If there are hybrid classes out there that are only 50% as good as a Warrior tank and 50% as good as a Cleric healer, no one, at high levels, will want to use them for either role
Only because the game rules are set up to make this type of character useless. Imagine if, instead of "tanks", NPCs simply attacked whoever looked weaker, or whoever was closer, or someone random. All of a sudden, healers who have more armor might have an advantage over those who have less. Or healers who can run faster, or self-heal better (if self-heal were a separate skill than heal others). Just as an example.
Right. Their mistake was modifying OSX. I don't see what would prevent them from selling a computer, a sealed retail copy of OSX, and a short explanation of how to install it.
Do you have any evidence that people who create these images / movies / whatever have any knowledge of who or how many "customers" they get, or that they create anything based on a perceived demand?
I've viewed images of people being murdered. Which is sicker IMO, but legal. Why isn't the "you're creating a demand" argument being used here?
The mistake the law is making is this: they perceive the crime of child abuse to be so great, that putting innocent people in jail is justified.
I got a mysterious charge on my credit card. I looked up the company, and the only info I could find was hundreds of people complaining about that same company, and also some theories about how they were able to get people's credit card numbers (sites they're affiliated with, etc.). They were also "uncontactable". My bank had no trouble removing the charge, but to be safe I canceled my card and had a new one issued.
Probably because often, this is a tough call. What if someone stops RIGHT after a light to turn left into a gas station, and causes the 4-5 cars behind him to get stuck under the light as it turns red? Surely, no one can predict this or see it fast enough to not go through the light. Sometimes the car in front of you is a giant box van and you don't know what's going on beyond him, and he's already across the intersection at full speed. Again, no warning.
Also, some things are a tough call. What if half your car is in the pedestrian crosswalk. Are you blocking the intersection? Technically yes, but how picky do you want to get.
I agree it's wrong of people to block the intersection just because they know they can get away with it, but I can see where cops have a tough time picking the bad or aggressive drivers out from the responsible driver who just got unlucky.
Plus, I imagine a grid-locked intersection is not a fun place to try and pull someone over:)
Sure you can. Common sense is just reason applied to every day life. It's not an entirely different mental process. Everyone, of any age, can certainly learn to be more sensible.
There are no good officials to elect. I know, some of you will jump in about "your guy" and who you like and don't like. The fact is, the federal government has far more power than it was ever supposed to have, and the systems in place to fix it aren't working. If the federal government isn't completely dismantled, it will continue to get worse. And nothing will change, until most of us are angry enough to pick up a gun.
So how is it any different if I give an envelope to a USPS employee?
I'm 99% sure my mailman is watching my Netflix DVDs before I get them, he'd be more than happy to turn my mail over to anyone with a badge, warrant or not.
and also do damage to their brand as it would get watered down. The latter is an important part of Apple's strength and I can understand them fighting this for dear life.
If you have to break the law for your brand to have strength, maybe it doesn't deserve to be strong. Do you really want the law to support companies deciding what BRAND of hardware you use in conjunction with their software?
Some people can drive 75 in the snow and make a 90 degree turn. But they take chances, and sometimes it causes a mess. Others can't even see at night and their only response to something unpredictable is to slam the brakes hard. Yet they go the speed limit, signal, look both ways, and obey traffic signs.
Until Apple proves in court that you're criminally liable for installing OSX on a non-Apple brand computer, they can take their EULA and stuff it. An EULA cannot be legally binding if it contains instructions that violate the law (for example, an EULA that says I now own your children). This is the crux of Psystar's argument - that Apple's restriction of using OSX on Apple-brand hardware is not supported by the law.
I don't really care about this particular court battle, however, the ramifications for what an EULA can restrict are important to pay attention to. What if MS decides you can only install Windows on a list of approved brands?

Those "studies" must be BS, because nobody ever said "man I'll suck your dick" for a pack of sugar.

"...stand in the way of a good ad hominem. HAHA! Al Gore's fat!"
Hey! That's not an ad hominem attack! Observe:
insult - Al Gore is fat.
ad hominem - Al Gore is wrong because he's fat.

Our TV broadcasts have already spoken for us, and it wasn't a good message.

Here's an interesting, if short, discussion on various ways life on Earth could have been structured.
Who would pay to watch cartoons?
I don't know, why don't you ask Pixar how much they grossed in the last decade.

You don't have to start from scratch.
If your local police are corrupt, you can ask the state police for help.
If your state is corrupt, you can ask the federal government or FBI for help.
If your federal government is corrupt, you can stop electing democrats and republicans.
You forgot: lying to the public in order to invade a nation that had nothing to do with anything.

You can't buy or read about commonsense.

Two types of good driver:
1) Courteous, attentive, and safe 2) Skillful
Some people can drive 75 in the snow and make a 90 degree turn. But they take chances, and sometimes it causes a mess. Others can't even see at night and their only response to something unpredictable is to slam the brakes hard. Yet they go the speed limit, signal, look both ways, and obey traffic signs.
It's good to be at least a little of both.
Whats changed?
In the early 90s, no one was buying DVDs.
Well if it didn't work, he could just clone the install DVD back onto the mini.
