  1. Re:Bonding changes everything on High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover · · Score: 1

    Sort of. Sucrose is rapidly processed in the stomach and small intestine, breaking down into free glucose and fructose.

  2. Re:What the hell? on High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover · · Score: 1

    I think purple looks like crayons, but all that proves is that I have some strange ideas.

  3. Re:What the hell? on High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover · · Score: 1

    Fructose is a major component of sucrose.

    Well, the HFCS that ends up in our food generally hasn't been metabolized even once, so that question is still over in the whale park.

  5. Re:why are the bounties so low? on Google Fixes 10 Bugs In Chrome, Pays $4000 Bounty · · Score: 1

    They are trying to increase the number of severe vulnerabilities that they close, not trying to reassure you that they will keep their position.

    The stuff that comes out of the plant is starch, apparently it is converted to glucose using enzymes.

  7. Re:What the hell? on High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover · · Score: 1

    Unsweetened fruit juice still has almost as much sugar per serving as pop.

    They aren't particularly good for you in large amounts.

  9. Re:Why people distrust pollsters on 72% of US Adults Support Violent-Game Ban For Minors · · Score: 1

    Yeah, right, the question did not contain the words 'parental consent', so clearly, the law is intended to tell parents what to do, not to place limits on who stores sell the games to.

  10. Re:What saddens me the most... on Wal-Mart To Launch Unlimited Wireless Family Plan · · Score: 1

    If you live near Sprint towers, Virgin Mobile is $25 a month for 300 voice minutes and unlimited texts (also, unlimited data, but they jack down their phones pretty good).

    If you usage varies quite a lot from month to month it might not be a better deal, but if you are using 100 voice minutes/texts a month...

  11. Re:If the Author really wants to get his story out on Pentagon Aims To Buy Up Book · · Score: 1

    Yes, how dare the author choose to defer to the military, and how dare the military attempt to use the long arm of the dollar in order to protect other resources.

  12. Re:This is why we vote Pirate on EU Surveillance Studies Disclosed By Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    So it is only free speech when you deem it to be speechy enough?

  13. Re:This is why we vote Pirate on EU Surveillance Studies Disclosed By Pirate Party · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You just spoke your mind against the government.

  14. Re:Take a look? hahahahaha. on IOS 4.1 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    If you know the answer, why are you asking a question?

  15. Re:How to search for local product display? on IOS 4.1 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    What are your criteria?

    If you want to be sure that the store actually has the item, the best way is to check in person.

    If you want the internets to provide you a list of stores that have the item, hahahahahahahahahahahaaha.

  16. Re:More Important than the Maps on The State of Mapping APIs, 5 Years On · · Score: 1

    Yeah, after a whole bunch of people noticed that Outlook web access wasn't messing around with iframes.

  17. Re:Maybe... on Mozilla Labs To Promote Open Web Gaming · · Score: 1

    People always say Betamax was better than VHS. Apparently it has better video quality, but it is ridiculous to pretend that recording time is not technically a feature (and VHS units had better recording times earlier).

  18. Re:The password metaphor on NYT Password Security Discussion Overlooks Universal Logins · · Score: 1

    Passwords are pretty much analogous to (most) house keys, they are simple secrets that work well enough most of the time (that you can put your secret in your pocket with the house key is largely an implementation detail).

    Cryptography is some brand new thing compared to locks and keys.

  19. Re:How does centralized login solve keylogging? on NYT Password Security Discussion Overlooks Universal Logins · · Score: 1

    All the stupid users everyone is worrying about already use their email account as a single point of failure, so switching to another system that concentrates risk really isn't the disaster you are painting.

  20. Not Much on Best Way To Archive Emails For Later Searching? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It isn't particularly platform independent (because no one is paying much attention to Windows), but Not Much offers threads and full text search:

  21. Re:7" screen? Why? on Hands-on With the iPad Alternatives On Display At IFA · · Score: 1

    You don't have to make the keyboard larger on the larger screen. So Swype is probably fairly size agnostic.

  22. Re:When you can't compete, sue... on Texas Opens Inquiry Into Google Search Rankings · · Score: 1

    I don't have to believe Google is perfect to believe that an Attorney General is a rampant politician.

    You are even promoting it today.

  24. Re:When you can't compete, sue... on Texas Opens Inquiry Into Google Search Rankings · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is a politician looking for attention, not a competitor trying not to compete.

  25. Re:Go Stephen! on The Push For Colbert's "Restoring Truthiness" Rally · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia is a bit thin, but it does mention that there are 256 subordinate companies, so I would be comfortable making a statement like 'No fucking way do they start anywhere near as many companies as Americans'.

    (but then it might be a little difficult to figure out exactly how many companies a group of 80,000 Americans would start in 30 years)
