  10. CD-R? on Ebay vs. Musician · · Score: 3, Insightful

  11. MS-standards (oxymoron?) on Tim Bray on Microsoft Office · · Score: 2, Flamebait
    There appears to be some confusion surrounding M$ using the acronym XML.

    Consider the autonomic nervous system: It tells your heart how many times to beat, checks your blood's sugar and oxygen levels.
