  1. Re:Excellent. Now how about High Fructose Corn Syr on FDA Bans Trans Fat · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's not. it's what, 55% fructose, 45% sucrose -- whereas table sugar is a 50/50 split?

  2. Re:I do not consent on FDA Bans Trans Fat · · Score: 1

    Well the problem with these things, is that the ill effects take so long to materialize, that by now we've all consumed enough of them to potentially suffer. How would you separate the pre-ban, to post-ban effects?

  3. Re:Interesting hypothesis on CDC: Americans Getting Heavier, Average Woman Weighs As Much As 1960s Man · · Score: 1

    well, it wouldn't mr. other random guy on the internet; see obese mothers tend to have heavier babies. If a fetus is being marinated in insulin, there's a good chance that baby will grow up to be obese. Please try to contradict that.

    I'd also have to counter, the rise in obesity tracks very, very, very well to the rise in carbohydrate consumption.

    given their revenue, i'm sure quite a few companies would love to be half as obsolete as MS.

    so how do you make fun of extremist SJW's without running the risk of giving them ammunition? :(

    Hah. Harvest Moon. Aka, "Patriarchy, the RPG"

    Seriously dude, one of the major plot devices turns around 'choosing' some poor girl, and subjecting her to a life of servitude.. playing through I felt physically ill due to the obvious parallels to a slave auction.

  8. Re:Poor summary on Bethesda Unveils New Doom Game, Announces Dishonored 2 · · Score: 2

    New Vegas was fantastic btw. In particular the desert landscape just seems to lend itself more to a post apocalyptic vibe than DC. (insert snarky joke about fallout 3 improving DC over it's current state.).

    It just seemed to be written at an higher quality, especially in the humor department.

  9. Manners please. on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Service Providers When You're an IT Pro? · · Score: 1

    Having been on the other end of that phone at varying times in my life (ranging from consumer tech support, to enterprise support) i try to be as patient and compliant as possible -- though if they are leading me on a goose chase I'll try to be subtle and point them in the proper direction.

    Because face it, most people are assholes; especially when something they are paying for, isn't working.

    They have to deal with assholes 8+ hours a day, every day, for a really shit wage. I can play nice for an hour or so on phone. =(

    This must be the first time the phrase "seemed cool" has been used in reference to Magic the Gathering. :)

    well if they were truly progressive, inclusive, and wanted to foster a sense of diversity it would have been an arabian or some other under-represented breed of horse.

  12. Re:Control Looking for a Problem on NASA Building Air Traffic Control System For Drones · · Score: 1

    This is seriously just a proof of concept/training exercise so that NASA can get experience managing the terraforming bots on Mars in the future. Operation "Starling" is what the FOIA requests would turn up. True Story.

    yeah it's bogus, i mean if there were any merit to that line of thought, you would have seen something absurd like MS bailing out Apple when they were in dire straights.

  19. blergh. on Why Our Brains Can't Process the Gravest Threats To Humanity · · Score: 2

    maybe because there are some problems that are not clearly defined, intractable, and require a more genetic, trial and error type approach to solving? A million people seeking their own best interest will probably have a better outcome than a hive mind.

    Not to mention the potential for premature optimization on a species wide basis?

  20. Re:Am not really impressed either... on Spotify Raises $526 Million As Apple Charges Into Streaming · · Score: 1

    well you can download tracks for offline listening (i do this on my cell phone for conserving bandwidth)

    You can also use audacity to make mp3's out of what you're listening to. But I somehow doubt spotify would approve of that use case.

  21. Re:This is about SpaceX flight rate on SpaceX Wants Permission To Test Satellite Internet · · Score: 2

    step 1: build company that launches sats.
    step 2: build another company that requires launch capability to be cost effective (give it time.)

    Building your own vertical integration; even if all this basically requires government handouts/subsidies -- i'd argue he's doing far more with them than most companies and contractors do.

    Many of them choose to be mothers, even longer hours, and zero pay.
