What's not to like is, it's grown outside an animal. Even with live animals, there is a tremendous variation in meat quality, both in the ways it appeals to you and in the nutritional value, depending on a great many factors. How did they live and what did they eat? I am somewhat skeptical that these miniscule chunks of flesh, brought up in isolation on some sort of artificial broth, are likely to entirely reproduce the flavor, texture, or nutritional value of the real thing. Maybe some decade real soon now. Maybe.
I remember when politicians were built from mohangay
I'm pretty sure a lot of the republicans are still built from mohangay, although I haven't been keeping up with these newfangled slang terms. Who was this Mohan, anyway?/goes off to google... err... we still say "google", right?
In the end, both Republicans and Democrats can't help being themselves - politicians. What we need are statesmen and they're always in short supply.
The definition of "statesman" is "a dead politician". While I don't think those are in short supply, I am rarely disappointed when their numbers increase.
Technically, currency is paper money. In that bitcoin isn't made of paper, it's... not currency. In a wider sense, the word "currency" is often used loosely, to refer to anything that can be exchanged for other goods. In that respect, bitcoin is no less "currency" than a paper dollar. How many of us actually use paper bills any more, anyway? Do you not have a debit or credit card?
And this is the year of the Linux desktop! Yay!/cough...
Seems like we've heard this news before. Every year for the last 20 or so, no?
Hey, phones are fine for quick, casual fiddling around. Linux would be rockstar if they only got the display drivers down pat, but I don't lay out hundreds of dollars for a shiny graphics card just to see its performance turn to mud. Fine, Windows 8 sucks, we knew that already, let's see if Windows 9 actually gets back on track.
Bad moderator. Look, you can barely get a virus or trojan without willingly inviting one in. It's theoretically possible, yes, but I've been up and running online since 1980 or so, and I only almost picked up one virus from a CompuServe mail before I knew any better. It was a cruddy Microsoft Word macro. Probably still got it zipped up here, somewhere, but the code didn't interest me. Anyway, this is not flamebait, this is information.
Let's put it in topical perspective, all right? I know y'all want things measured in Libraries of Congress, cars, or football fields. Not today. Today, let's talk vampires. Can't get into your house unless you invite them in. Vampires, viruses, same deal, pretty much. And have some garlic, it's good for what ails you.
> You cannot run Windows without antivirus/antimalware now
News to me. Have you been surfing deviant porn sites again? You pretty much have to be a moron to need AV code on your machine. I recommend it for my step-mom, of course, the old darling is barely qualified to run a toaster. It's just lucky that she can't fit her head into one. But for most of us, AV software is more dangerous than getting a virus. You can be pretty sure you won't get a virus. You can be fairly sure the AV software will slow down your machine drastically, and occasionally decide to delete the operating system.
Ok, you're a marketing person. I'll forgive you. But never say proactive again.
>We already have cake day, corporate massage day
Your company obviously has too much turnover and you're trying desperately to reduce it. The problem is not going to be that you don't have enough cake days. The problem is going to be that it apparently sucks to work at your company. Cut down on the number of mandatory meetings, make sure everybody has a decent computer, get the damned boss to stop subverting the code check-in system, and... your programmers don't actually need to wear suits, do they? Stop that.
"Hewlett-Packard Co. used to be known as a place where innovative thinkers flocked to work on great ideas that opened new frontiers in technology."
When was this, exactly? They were dinosaurs in the 1980s, best known for products such as keyboards that you could readily kill someone with (if you could lift one), which would last forever... although you needed to use a hammer to type on one. And the infamous RPN calculators, because they were too cheap to put in a few more chips to handle algebraic order-of-precedence. (You will probably still find HP apologists arguing for the "more natural" design of this inverted math format to this day.)
And for the record, it says right in the summary that XBMC is "your favorite media-center software."
Clearly it isn't. I'd never heard of it either. Considering the submission is obviously product advertising written by a marketing droid, the little detail of what the heck the product is might have been mentioned at some point.
Actually, anti-lock brakes appear to be utterly worthless, according to the last reports I've seen. They appear to have no effect on accident rates.
Guessing the alleged safety mandates have much more to do with keeping newcomers out of the auto market by keeping prices high. The "think of the children!" argument is always a good play with the bedwetter crowd. No price is too high, especially when you can make your neighbors pay for your personal night terrors.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;..."
It may be appropriate to note that Germans typically don't pronounce "th" as Americans do. It's like "we" versus "whee", the "h" part is an aspiration mark. A common spelling error, for English-speaking Germans, is to put a "th" in where a "t" sound belongs. Neanderthal has always been pronounced Neandertal, they just changed the spelling.
People bread like rabbits once there is enough food and water to go around.
What is this, a soylent green joke?...anyway, I believe other people have made the point that Malthusian theory turns out to be completely incorrect.
There is the problem of government, as always. Many African nations have completely horrific governments that cause starvation and poverty in the midst of what should be plenty. Looking at you, Zimbabwe.

The time people will really start caring is in ten years time when the activiation servers are switched off and they can't play their games anymore.
Optimist. Microsoft "PlaysForSure" lasted for all of four years.

Ganesan does not appear to have actually said "proactive" twice, or even once. "New submitter Chewbacon" is apparently a marketing droid.
She asked, "I'll bet you are and engineering major, am I right?"
Not so much a matter of your structured essays as your lack of ability to write in English, I suspect. Perhaps she had a crush on you.
you need raw yolks, and one of three raw commercial eggs has salmonella.
I'm not sure what country you're living in? In the U.S., only one in 20,000 eggs contains salmonella. http://www.cdc.gov/nczved/divisions/dfbmd/diseases/salmonella_enteritidis/
Apparently, you've never heard of Constitutional amendments, there, Thogg.

Well, I'll grant you that there are snazzier options, but where are you going to get the 1.21 Gigawatts to power a DeLorean?

The Three Laws are completely irrelevant here.
could they stop naming the operating system to appeal to six-year-old girls? That is probably not their best target demographic.

or wasting time and grandmas
I can have no sympathy for people who are wasting grandmas. A grandma is not a thing to waste.
That's MISTER Wonderful, thank you. I didn't not spend six years in evil medical school to be called DOCTOR.
