Actually, that's not really good counterproof at all. While the world is complicated, all is cause and effect. Free-will is nothing but an illusion. You make decisions based on your physical state and the information you have at the moment. And you will always make the same decision given the same state/input. (Unless you're chaotic neutral, in which case the chance is 50%)
The better counterargument is intuition and insight. It seems far harder to me to program the irrational leaps in logic that come to a correct conclusion.
Posting anonymously should automatically post the IP address used. It makes it significantly easier to track the people trashing the site. Yeah, people might use Tor but I have full faith in the laziness of humanity.
Moreover, how about better tracking of the people spamming messages like the infamous 'hosts' one.
Yeah, but 'free' video-over-ip is a clear conflict of interest.
For example, Comcast plans to start offering it's own video service and that won't count towards your 300GB cap. Surely you can see that this places Netflix and other streaming services at an unquestionable disadvantage.
First, there's only one aspect to that is really objectionable--that the federal government gets the data with no limitations. A fingerprint scanner isn't a bad idea for something needing low security where you're dealing with forgetful preteens. They're inexpensive although the software/system isn't.
To be honest, I don't really understand the objection to being tracked in the first place. It's just an extension of tracking food stamps. The government makes no secret that if you're going to be the recipient of funds, you're going to be tracked (unless you're a multinational corporation). All that needs to be done is explicitly state that the data will be anonymized (which is likely to be done anyway as this involves minors) and there's minimal issue here.
It's not like Comcast is a wealth of accurate information. According to their own website, there are 6 devices that can support 250 mbps that you can buy off amazon. http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.ne...
On the hand, the packages for any given area are highly dependent on how much Comcast has neglected their network in that area.
The science behind what he's saying isn't really adding up. While there's naturally studies on both sides, this study indicates greater CO2 levels can inhibit growth http://news.stanford.edu/pr/02...
Moreover, methane is significantly more responsible for global climate change because it traps 100 times more heat than CO2. http://www.onegreenplanet.org/...
I just don't understand why the US won't just burn the vast majority of its waste for power. Numerous other countries do it. Even burning plastic isn't particularly bad for the environment, especially when compared with the alternatives. And with only one exception (aluminum), recycling is just a energy sink.
You really don't understand the difference between global and local climate, do you? A 4 degree C change in local climate doesn't mean that much. A 4 degree C change in the global average is a catastrophe.
If you look at the companies supporting net neutrality, almost every one has a fiscal incentive to do so. In short, you're wrong. It's greed all around. We, the people, just happen to be on the winning side.
“I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.”
Uh, yeah, gonna need some proof for those claims of side effects. Contrary to what you express, vasectomies are fairly safe and effective. http://theturekclinic.com/serv... And as it stands, the female pill has a number of nasty potential side effects, far beyond anything a vasectomy could do.
that ISIL rebrand itself as Cobra and that all grunt soldiers be sent to the Star Wars Trooper School of Shooting. Lasers should be colored in accordance with affiliation.
The fix is almost certainly going to be as problematic as no doubt they'll make it harder to change the name like requiring admin rights or having some sort of language filter. The former is more likely and naturally the result will be 'and Comcast has been screwing up the spelling of my name for six months, 3 supervisors promised to fix it, and yet here we are!'
That's bullshit. Obese people have pretty much the same metabolism as skinny people. It's not your "metabolism" that makes you obese, it's how much and what you eat.

Yeup, as pointed out by another, you make your own. It's even easier if you have a foaming soap dispenser

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.
Subsidizing the dinosaur burning car industry is "corporate welfare" but subsidizing EV ownership is... what exactly?
It's called investing in the future. You know, like solar cells, geothermal heating/cooling, and LED lightbulbs.

No, the non-dick move is to stop trying to be greedy with arbitrary and inadequate (remember, it was 250GB in 2008) data caps.
Um, yeah, they were sued. http://www.sfgate.com/business... You didn't honestly think Comcast suddenly grew a sense of ethics, did you?

Provided the data is viewed by someone in the USA, the NSA already has it. John Oliver already went through this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

...break down complicated tasks into simple steps and then explaining those steps to an idiot.
Hmm, that sounds suspiciously like the IT support I do every day.
You mean everything the 'evil' companies already do but don't give us decent speeds, try to cap our bandwidth, and charge us too much for the hassle?
Shut up AC and dammit Google, take my money!

I consider it good policy that I don't rate countries or companies based on profitability
From my perspective, there's only one question worth asking. "On average, are they better to work for?"
The fix is almost certainly going to be as problematic as no doubt they'll make it harder to change the name like requiring admin rights or having some sort of language filter.

No, it really is quite dependent on biology. There are numerous studies on twins that clearly show that it's governed by far more than just calories in == calories out. http://www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/~p... , http://www.nytimes.com/1990/05...
