Sure, blemishes don't have anything to do with the quality of an orange. I've never seen a fruit or vegetable where the color didn't give you important information.
What are you complaining about anyway. If people don't want to buy mottled green oranges, that just means they'll be cheaper for you.
Do you think the average high school graduate can look at two dietary labels on two competing products and tell you the precise differences those labels mean for their particular diet?
Why should I care about the average high school graduate? I can look at the dietary labels and tell you the important differences that pertain to my diet. As far as I'm concerned that's justification enough.
If you're not willing to do the work to understand the world around you, that's your own problem. The world should not be designed around the needs of the average. It should be designed so that people who can actually do things have the tools they need to do them.
You should try Icefilms. Sure Netflix might have more stuff, but Icefilms has more TV than I can watch anyway. You can't get current Daily Show on Netflix so honestly, it's just about useless.
I think the problem is that most people haven't learned how to figure things out for themselves. That should be the highest priority for any home schooler.
"Lacked the guts" is a charitable way of putting it. The WHO has lied about the statistical significance of e.g. second hand smoking risk in the past. They are likely to be similarly disingenuous in the future.
The CRIA has had years to pay these artists. Why would they start now?
Also notice how this is less than 1% of what the CRIA actually owes its artists. Settlements like this only encourage them to keep stiffing their artists.
You can't even do this in MAME anymore. They dropped high score support because it was an ugly hack. This is still an ugly hack, but still a lot cooler than doing it in software.
By that logic evolution itself is impossible since no traits not already present in the population could ever emerge.
Evolution is the change in frequency of alleles in the gene pool. It occurs due to mutations and natural selection. Artificial selection is not really relevant.
Selective breeding can also capture and spread new traits that arise by spontaneous mutation
Mutation creates the new alleles. Selective breeding just changes their frequency.
Breeders even have ways of speeding up the process called mutagenesis
True, but that's not selective breeding. That's mutagenesis.
Who buys games on release day anyway? Not only is there DRM to deal with, but prices are highest then too. It's not like you miss anything by waiting 6 months for the price to drop. There are plenty of other games to keep you occupied until then.
Selective breeding cannot create traits that do not already exist in the gene stock. When you insert a completely novel gene there's a much greater chance for unpredictable results.
GM crops are a good thing, but they shouldn't be treated just like selective breeding. They should undergo safety testing as rigorous as pharmaceuticals.

Let us know how that works out for you!

Because oranges aren't always orange and they have imperfections
Good.
But suppliers noticed that people bought more oranges when they looked "pure" orange.
People buy more when they are mislead about quality. Makes sense.
And the FDA allowed it (for whatever reason).
Because they are corrupt as hell, that's why.

Actually, I don't think it would.
Actually, all you need to cache is meta-data and small files (say anything less than 100 kB).
Are there any file systems that manage this transparently?

Donna knew that all she really had to work with was a big mouth, so she used it.
Amy... Amy talks?
Because our government is at least as corrupt today as it was in the late 19th century.
Since when do you need a curriculum to teach basic computer operation? I'm sure most of us figured it out just fine on our own.

HTML 3.2. If you can't do it with HTML 3.2, you don't really need to do it.
If the artist can't be contacted, they can't file a lawsuit either. I don't think we're talking about orphan works here.

In a world where mutation is the same thing as selective breeding, that would be true.
We, however, do not live in that world.
Therefore, you are wrong.

Custom firmware can turn many cheap shitty routers into rock solid workhorses.
Why should it matter? When a person does something good, I don't really care why they did it. I'm just happy they did.
That sounds exactly like what needs to be said to the US government, and people as a whole.

You're old. I'm not well versed enough in post-rock to identify the artist, but it fit the video well.
Now we know why all the whalers went to the moon.
