First of all, if you are not separating the fats by their saturation, your data is going to be useless, as these fats have very different effects on the body. And second, (refined) sugar/starch is ignored again, despite being a far worse problem in our society. (E.g. companies still advertising candy as "without fat".)
Claim: Snopes in an authority on thruth and knows everything. Especially about astronaut pens and pencils. Status: False.
Why do people think that Snopes is the end of all arguments? After all it's an American site. Spreading the American point of view. I bet they still state that Bell and Bell alone invented the telephone.
Well, considering that your "source" is also just a blog, and your fallacy is the typical Wikipedia fallacy that a link would somehow make it more true, I say we are still head-to-head from a third perspective. And frankly I trust my sources more than yours.
You assume that what they state is what they actually believe is. That would be purely trough coincidence.
They know exactly, that that is just a lie to get to what they want.
But hey, my sig says it all: It's not about what you have to hide. It's about what they want to find. Combine that with Cardinal Richelieu's (of inquisition infame) statement of needing seven lines from the finest man, to find something to hang him, and you got to the core of the problem.
Point is: There is no such thing as freedom or fair law. We still live with the law of the jungle. It's just hidden better. But the strongest people still make the laws. Nowadays the strongest person does not even need to have any real strength. They found out that it's enough if people *believe* they were stronger. Like a government: Those some thousands or tenthousands of people could not withstand hundreds of millions of people. Ever. But they still are the strongest in the people's minds.
The problem here is what exactly? That she stalked them? I think it does not matter if they are cops. Stalking people is just not right. In fact, imagine she was a government agent stalking some privacy group. You would have called it an outrage too, but called her bad, not them.
And outing someone who is the inside man on such a drug group actually puts his life in danger. Not cool.
All in all, there is no dichotomy here. Surveillance and stalking both are the same wrong thing. Not the cops, not an agent, and not a private person, should be able to do it, and not be punished. (Ok, I have a different view on punishment and right/wrong, because I think there is no such thing as guilt. It's all causality. And right/wrong is always relative. Which leaves only one acceptable form of punishment: Separating the groups that disagree about this point. Which nowadays means jail, but should also mean separated but just as free communities, like in different countries.)
It's not a hidden cost. It's the (arguably hidden) protection from the company scamming you and locking you in, etc. You just can't do some things, when everybody can read the source. But that doesn't mean that it is acceptable to do those things in the first place. To me they are crimes. And in closed source products they are only more easily hidden.
I'd go so far as to say, that if a company uses closed source, it is a big indicator, that they want to rip you off and somehow trick you in some crooked way. A big red blinking warning sign.
We'd do the same on our road, but the government would probably object.
Somehow this struck me as being seriously fucked up aka government gone wrong.
I mean of all the people in the world, the ones that own this street, are the ones that live in it, payed the taxes to build it, and own the government that "officially" owns it. It's very literally your street. And everyone in the local community should be happy that you show so much responsibility and involvement in it.
And about laws: They are there to define what would hurt the community, and is therefore not allowed in it. But I can't see how you laying your own wires in a proper way could possibly hurt anyone on this planet. It could only do good. So I'd quite simply expect to be able to do it, after informing the local mayor that it is properly planned. Even he will definitely benefit from this, and so will be very stupid to deny it.
Exactly. What is even the point of a publisher nowadays? Back then, they were there to print books, distribute them and do the marketing.
Nowadays with e-books on the rise, there is no point in printing anymore, distribution can be done from the own site trough payment services like PayPal, and all you need is get the word out via marketing. So let someone make a nice site, and let someone else throw out good advertisement. (The one that people *like* to see! More that "getting the word out" style, and no selling smoke and lies.) Never underestimate the power of getting as much people as possible people to know that your product exists and what it is.
Elsevier has no morality whatsoever. They publish fake magazines, with fake studies in them, especially targeted to make doctors think they are real and therefore describe pills that kill their patients, or at least make them suffer while going broke, just so the pharma industry can make money.
But the also published "The Art Of Game Design" which is a really great book (except for the very "old world" chapters about money making).
So it as usual is no black/white thing, as this is close to Hitler, who also did the exceptional good thing (*gasp*).;)
As usual this is all a question of trust. So here is my little addition to your graph of trust.:)
This article is just an aspect of using the right tool for the right job. And Python and Ruby happen to be a very nice languages for quickly hacking new ideas together. Later you can work out the details and all on Java (no C# love here, and not sorry for it!:), Haskell, or even C/C++, depending on what fits best.
Only that their printer *will* actually print. With CUPS I found it to be less hassle to make a printer work on Linux than on Windows.
Tell me one thing that they would want to do, that is not limited because of performance. Hardware on Linux: Works. Browsing, music, movies, e-mail, chatting, instant messaging, etc: All works nicely, and out of the box.
If you think otherwise, that you haven't used any recent Ubuntu or similar distribution.
Additionally, the distribution will of course be adapted to the laptop, by Dell.
No it won't. Because as usual with Apple products, they will cost twice a fortune, and still be rather low-end.
While... well... do you know what those ARM systems actually cost!:) They start with $200. That is their "very high newcomer" price! After 3 months, they will have fallen to $100! And still get complete HD video acceleration, Flash support, 10 hours of lifetime, and practically no heat production.
For that price I wonder if I could simply buy ten of them and link them into a Beowulf cluster.:)
I remember reading a big article in the German science magazine "Spektrum der Wissenschaft", that there is no such thing as innate talent.
They tried to find out, what made geniuses geniuses. And they found, that it's not relevant what you were born with.
What is relevant, is to keep yourself in proper balance between choosing too hard and too easy tasks to grow from. The closer this balance is to your abilities, the faster your abilities will grow. I can also say from my own experience, that it's true.
The other factor is, to be able to structure your thoughts and knowledge. Even for sports. For example in chess, a beginner would try to keep the position of every figure in his mind, While an advanced player might store the same state as "the Someguy move" with "the Otherguy variation" and "this pawn is advanced one field". And a masterful player would most likely think of it as "the Fooguy setup" with "the Barguy move" and "this pawn doing the Bazguy-style attack". So you put your thoughts into sets that fit in one of the eight (on average) short-term memory "registers" you have. And to create many associations in your long-term memory, so you can quickly get to many related things.
That's all there is to geniuses. So whatever someone told you about you being unable to do: As long as it is still physically possible (i.e. you're not 75 and trying to win an Olympic medal for 100m running), you can do it!
Your mind is not able to think very far, is it? Like those Star Trek "aliens"*. Or "new and innovative" car models that look *freakin exactly* like the old ones, so you have to look twice to even see the difference!
It's so very common that I see people coming up with things that they call great innovative thinking, and I can show them multiple boxes and outdated philosophies that they still think inside of, on the spot.
Chrome is still showing HTML pages in tabs that you navigate trough with the virtual interface of links, a history to move through, etc, and a physical interface of the mouse and keyboard. In a window. With no new widgets, concepts, philosophies, or anything new of any kind. And we're not talking about two years. We're talking about time span since Mosaic 1.0 in 1993. Because other than the Addons or Firefox and Greasemonkey, pretty much nothing innovative in browsers has appeared or changed since then. (Maybe Flock was an approach. But it was a half-assed one, and failed because of that.)

That would be two dimensions then. One to travel along, and one being the compression.

Shut out Comcast completely. Who needs "traditional media" anyway nowadays.
You can even do it all alone by yourself.

I'd say the exact point of this, is to make doctors prescribe drugs, with the only reason being profit. Which was exactly my point. :)

I'm sure Monsanto would be more than happy to help us with that.
On the other hand: How to you check if your mail actually gets sent when you are dead?
Easiest scam ever? Bet on it. ;)
So you are saying that I and my dog both run Linux?
I never knew...

So what exactly is the point of going trough all that hassle to get ripped off big time? You can get marketing for much less than 90% of your income!
And paper? For real? Come on! ... *Welcome to the 21st century!* ^^ :)
Put up a site, add PayPal, give the link to your marketing guy, and be done.

And I find the ability to adapt to new stimuli very very impressive, when I see that monkey that got a robotic arm's controller "glued" onto its brain, and now is able to "naturally" use is, as if it were a third arm.
And I don't even talk about brain-computer-interfaces that actually are making people have genuine bionic arms and legs right now. The 6 million dollar man is literally just a matter of powerful servos and properly "sewing" it into tho body nowadays.
