Often, after dinner I want to watch a movie. Average size is about 1GB. Right now I get about 40Mbps, so that takes less than 5 minutes, which is short enough that you can start the download, fix something to drink, go to the bathroom, and the movie will be ready to watch. With 6.5Mbps that would be more than 20 minutes. Quite unacceptable, as you can understand.
But unfortunately, it doesn't get to the solution any better. Often, these people were not extremists until the morning they woke up to kill somebody. However, there's a good chance they were already radical islamists the day before.
Uh, no, there are as many different forms of Islam as there are muslims. Some muslims may be moderate, a few may even be very moderate, but plenty are not.
Male fashion designers are free to make similar pushes for the legitimacy of fashion design as a male career option.
Sure, but why should they waste their energy on political issues when they can just focus their energy at trying to make the best possible fashion designs ? The fact is that 99.9% of men have no interest in becoming a fashion designer, even if it was an easy option.
And men are discouraged from becoming fashion designers, and yet some of the best fashion designers are men. Yes, it's harder to succeed in technical careers as a woman. Deal with it. Start your own business.
In all of these examples, there's somebody else that's much closer that cares. But the embryo doesn't care, and if its mother doesn't care, why should I ?
And Microsoft had tuned the OS so that rebooting the phone only takes 2.3 seconds, which means you don't have to wait very long if you want to turn the flashlight on.
Obviously getting stabbed or strangled is just as bad as getting shot, but before somebody can stab or strangle you, they need to get up close first, and you can only get close to one person at the time. And if that person happens to be bigger and stronger, there's no guarantee that it will even work. With a gun, against an unarmed opponent, it's a lot easier and quicker, even if the opponent is bigger and stronger.
Blowing yourself up requires explosives, and even then you can only do it once. It is much more effective to walk around a few airports, malls and movie theatres spraying a large number of people who are then unaware of the fact they may have caught ebola, and help spread it even further.
Since ebola requires touching bodily fluids, a better way would be to collect fluids from ebola sufferers, and spray it on people with a perfume spray bottle.
No, the Atkins diet works because most people will automatically limit themselves when eating a diet high in fat and proteins, whereas the sugar/fat combination we find in many (processed) foods does not nearly have the same effect, making it more likely for people to eat excessively on those.
It pretty nonsensical statement, considering that natural fruit juices have a wide difference in the fructose/glucose ratio. Apple juice is very high in fructose, whereas grape juice is very high in glucose, to name two examples. High fructose corn syrup is in the middle.
Your calculation is a bit off. The 55% fructose content of HFCS is by weight, not by moles. Density of fructose is 1.67, while density of glucose is 1.54, so the HFCS-55 actually contains 50.7% fructose and 49.3% glucose by moles. This is almost the same as sucrose.
Your body needs quick energy cause your GLUCOSE levels are down
The craving/satiety mechanism is much more complicated than that. The other day I bought a glucose meter and spend a few days testing my blood sugar levels, and found very little relationship to feelings of craving and blood glucose levels. Even at times when I felt really really hungry, glucose was still exactly the same as a few hours earlier. Besides glucose, hunger is also controlled by ghrelin/leptin and stomach/intestine fullness.
In the case of HFCS sweetened beverages, the amount you drink is also influenced by carbonation, salt and other flavorings. Try comparing completely flat coke and fresh coke. Most people wouldn't want to drink a bunch of the flat stuff, because the taste just isn't appealing.

If the chips no longer work as designed, they are not "fine".

The fake chips have the FTDI logo written on the package, so they are violating the trademark.

Well, to be fair, van Maanen did more than see a photon. He did analysis of a strange phenomenon and documented it.
If you really have to work against it, are you really letting your kids explore their own interests ?

We should also incinerate our crops as worthless biological waste so that no corporation can profit from them. Because, you know, profit is evil.

If real guns are better and cheaper than 3D printed guns, then gun companies need not worry about lost revenues either.

If there's already a law that forbids owning a gun, then there's no need for an additional law specifically targetting 3D printed guns.
Please reboot for the change to take effect...

Your body only needs a little bit of glucose to survive, and that little bit can be synthesized in the liver from protein and/or some types of fat.
How much further does sucrose get ? Without some numbers, your analysis isn't worth much.

Starbucks makes expensive rubbish, but people are lining up to buy it. I doesn't have to be good, as long as it's hip.
