So, you suggest that we should change the definition of CSV just to make Microsoft look less stupid about their implementation. Maybe we should change HTML to mean "Here's That Microsoft Lossage" because they have a different idea of how to implement it than the rest of the world.
Umm, two 120 mg pills is 240 mg per day. You shouldn't assume that they eat only half of each pill.
Anyway, the dosage is within the values that the supplient makers define for usage on the labels. Should the study have ignored what the people selling it say is the correct dosage?
Lets see, you think 4kg is the correct amount for a daily dosage, which means that they need to take (4kg / 120mg) = 33,333 pills a day. Somehow I don't think you'll see that dosage rate on the bottles. If your bottle held 100 pills, you'd be using 333 bottles a day. Even if there were 1000 pills per bottle, that would still be 33 bottles a day. Still a lot more than I'd want to try to swallow.
That's what you get from the "suppliment" supporters. If it doesn't work, it's not the suppliments fault, it's those 3000 people in the study who all did it wrong. Not a single one used it right.
Herbal suppliments, like the herbal viagra, are not subject to FDA rules. Some senator with a herbal suppliment bias was rewarded with this bit of law. Don't expect the government to protect you when they can reward one of their own with a law like this. Science doesn't matter in cases like this.
I bet the herbal supplements industry is hoping its customers will forget all about this report eventually...:)
Most of them would care less. It is "organic" after all, just like hemlock. Anything organic, or herbal, just has to be good for you. Look at how many people buy homeopathic medicines, and don't know what that really means. Therapeutic touch has been disproved numerous times, yet still has a huge following. People will believe in faries if it is on a pretty enough label.
I've been encrypting everything I use by running it through ROT-13 twice, and so far, nobody has admitted to have broken my encryption!
My professor told me that anyone would be embarassed to admit such a thing, so score one to me for the potential of using embarassment as an encryption enhancement!
What's the difference between a artist who drops a plastic Jesus statue that he borrowed into a peanut butter bottle full of his own Urine, and someone who carves a statue out of a marble block? Obviously, if you're going to be paying the artist $50,000+, you're going to want the bottle of piss instead of the clueless idiots "David".
You must understand how much easier the GUI is. Let's say, you want to see what files are in your current directory.
Under the command line, you'd have to do something extremely complicated, like typing 'ls' followed by a return, and eventually you'd finally be done.
Using the simplified GUI, you'd simply click on 'start', then click on the 'my computer' icon/ You'd then scroll through the choices provided to select the disk drive you want to see. Then you'd easily scroll through the provided lists, clicking on all the folders to open a new leven of folders until you get to the one you are intrested in. Now, if you want to see the file extension, you'd simply find the option to enable showing the whole file name instead of just part of it, wherever it has been placed under this version of your GUI, prossibly somewhere under the 'start' menu. Once you have seen the file name, you only need to close all the windows for all the paths that you opened, being careful to not close other windows that may look simniliar.
See how much simplier the GUI is, compared to the confusing mess that is the CLI!
The main material used for solar cells is sand (silicon), so the rarity of that commodity should indicate the cost. When was the last time you saw sand just lying around?
What happens when you drive it over a cliff in a movie? Your typical gas powered movie car will explode in a giant fireball before it ever hits anythin on the way down (cue tire rolling out of burning wreckage). How would an all electric vehicle fare? There should be, at the least, a giant lightning bolt, St. Elmo's fire, and a Jacobs Ladder effect on the antenna. Flashes of blue light in the passengers mouths would also be appropriate, like in Star Wars.
Did you ever notice that intelligen aliens are always portraid as humans with blue or green skin in movies? I'm guessing that it's because they don't have any alien suits that their actors can fit into. Sometimes they'll throw in scales or other colors or a different size on them, but they still follow the 1 head, 2 arms, 2 legs, 1 body, upright posture theme. Many stories include sex with these aliens, and often mixed children.
Do these authors have no better ideas than to take old westerns, and just swap wagons with starships and pistols with laser beams?
How do you know he isn't working for them already? Maybe this event is just the first step towards using the Microsoft license. It would make sense, because I'm sure Microsoft would like to get a working version of.NET to compete with everyone else.
Perl has problems, but there's a lot more irritating problems in the FOSS world.
Why, for example, does everyone have to develop their own versions of 'make'? Sometimes using two or three different varients in the same package. The Linux kernel uses it's own configuration routines, while many modules use somethings else, and libraries will use yet another method. Every time you need to add a module to drive some strange hardware, you have to spend several days just trying to figure out how you are supposed to compile it, just because the author of that package found a "better" way of handling the build process. It's really bad when some parts of the build use automake/autoconf, others use plain make, and others use some self-developed construction. Pick ONE package build process, don't pick every one.
Have them start up by making trips to the ISS carrying odd shipments (like fancy meals and such) claiming them as training exercises. As NASA loses intrest in the ISS (the government right now is much more intrested in giving free medical insurance to Mexican Crack Whores than science), they can take over the routine stuff. Soon, the only way for the US to reach the ISS is through SpaceX. That pretty much gives them full control over it (with maybe some complaints by a bankrupt Russia). They can now use it as an expensive hotel, like Russia is doing, but at a lower cost. Soon they could build up a series of orbiting Hotels, which could be a jumping off point for the planets. Building hotels on the planets/moons would give them control over most of the solar system. The adventurous would be the ones intrested in going out, leaving the unemployable welfare recipients stuck on Earth. When the planets reach self-sufficiency, they cut political ties to Earth, saving huge amounts on useless taxes used to build useless bridges in a useless senators district. Earth might try to cause problems after that, but drop a few asteroids on them and they should quiet down fairly quickly.
This is about half the price of a PS3. Is it realy that good of a value for what you get, expecially since you cannot buy one in the US, just to mess around with, for that price.
Oh well, just imagine a beowulf cluster of them anyway.
We need a warning on milk bottles that we must not forget to put out a saucer of milk for the fairies and brownies every night. There have been many unhappy instances where people forgot to do this. The actual science for this is just as impressive as that for cell phone caused cancer.
The only reason this cell phone caused cancer is taken seriously, is because the lawyers smell blood. It's something they think will make them huge piles of money.
Since Amazon is hated for pulling a single book, we obviously MUST hate Jesus now! Do not allow him to infiltrate your home, especially during the Christmas season! Avoid any place where he is treated with respect, like those "church" places.

You get plenty of reviews on slashdot by people who never use the device. For example: the Amazon kindle, Microsoft Windows, and girlfriends.
Linux is also well supported on the ARM chips. Look at OpenWRT for an example.

Isn't this just a preview of the movie for this book? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Moon_(novel)
Old twilight zone joke. That book "How to Serve Man", it's a cookbook!
The fuel was reserved to rescue a refridgerator in Florida. However, the senator was sacked before he could recover it.

Lost it while checking out the batteries in the previous story?

Here's a dumb idea for SpaceX.

Will they emulate the entire soundstage that was used to fake the moon landings?

Good thing it ony 250,000 to 1. If it were 1,000,000 to 1, then we'd be doomed
They are all going to be connected together in a network called "SkyNet".
Ok, imagine a beowulf cluster of these.
