I propose that when someone comments "They should have considered X" when the article does consider X those of us who read the article should be allowed to punch that commenter in the face. They won't understand any response more subtle than that,
"GUIs are walled gardens in that features available in one piece of software is not available to other pieces of software. "
In journalism this is known as "telling a question". It looks like you're asking something when really you are asserting a premise. The fun part is that you get away without having to show that your premise is correct.
"If a month of development time can be eliminated by simply talking to an engineer who built the X " If you are waiting until the X is built, you've already lost the market.
"white evangelical Protestants topped the list of those rejecting evolution, with 64 percent of those polled saying they believe humans have existed in their present form since the beginning of time."
Both of the creations in Genesis have things happening before there were people.
White evangelical Protestants, why do you hate the Bible?
"Did 10% of Americans REALLY change their views in 5 years? "
There is a less sinister explanation than an increase in denial: that they aren't re-polling the same respondents over time. They are sampling a changing population, so that new people become old enough to poll and old people die off. it is quire plausible that no one is changing their minds.
"The strongest sources of EMF were food blenders, electric razors, and hair dryers. They were much stronger than power lines. And the ordinary 120v ac circuits in households were stronger sources than power lines in the back yard."
Calculating the relative field strengths was one of the homework assignments in the Fields and Waves course for my undergraduate degree.
While I am receptive to the concept that sometimes it is not worth it to collect the money (that why transit systems are moving to face cards, so that they don't have to handle change), fares also provide some demand management. Even if you are not applying demand-based fares, charging a non-zero amount the far end of the demand curve which would happily fill and overflow all capacity and will let you find when/where you really need to add new capacity.
a) It's not a lot of data per link, but it is a lot of links. That 20 zloty plan is one link. Marta has 554 buses and 38 rail stations. b) You have supplied no dataon the reliability of that link. c) Pricing in Poland is not particularly relevant to Altanta, Georgia, USA.
The real lesson here is if your data has value then you shouldn't be trying to store it on the cheap.
There is a difference between "cheap" and "inexpensive". Starting with a limit of 100 pounds shows that these jokers didn't know what problem they were trying to solve... if you couldn't already guess by the fact that the entire page is wrapped in a pre tag.

"Alternative explanation. Dogs face away from the sun while crapping. "
-1, too lazy to read the article but not to lazy to manufacture failings of article
-1, uninsightful
The article actually addresses time of day and disproves this.
Not only is it speculation, it is easily refuted speculation since time of day is considered in the actual article.

I've already had self-cooking noodles in Japan. But they weren't the glow in the dark variety.

It is possible for them to hate it without having read it.
No, *you* say fuck off. The rest of us are competent.
"Out of all of those, documentation is the easiest thing to do."
If documentation is so easy, why is there so little of it and why is it so bad?

'Evolution is practically mankind's attempt at cupping his hands around his ears and screaming "There is no God!" as loud as he can. '
The Vatican has found that evolution is not incompatible with Christianity. What do you know that they don't?

I did. Of the three linked pages (2 news articles, one press release) none contained the word "stored".
"their privacy policy makes it clear that the user owns all of their data. If this is true, I should have the right to destroy that data. "
What is the basis for such a logical leap?
If you're going to make an overreaching claim, you might as well ask for a pony too.
"Milwaukee doesn't have icy roads in summer.
Fact not in evidence.
I am shocked to discover that an jackkassed inflammatory title was applied to an article!
Actually no, I'm not.
The implication is that for a human observer extracting a description would be hard but pattern matching is easy.
New Horizons was launched in 2006. If an Atlas V can launch one of the fastest things ever, why do you think it could not get something to Titan?
