vlm: "you're really correlating ALL industrial era commodities because they all grew about the same rate in the same economy."
Depends on what data is analyzed. Maybe there are gradients in sugar consumption, which can be correlated with gradients of violence. Maybe there are other clever ways at looking at it.
Why would a professional writer care about stylesheet? Can't the publisher look after that part? Why is the professional writer not happy with Notepad?
Otherwise, the article strikes me as a collection of randomly selected and unmotivated issues with using word processors.
Amazon "search inside this book" has no results for "NP" as in P vs. NP. How can that be? The book doesn't draw the connection to this major relevant open question on one hand, but has "burden of proof" in the title on the other hand?
There's a difference between "doesn't appear likely to" and "appears likely not to". There is a whole spectrum of grades of certainty / uncertainty. The one chosen here looks pretty low.
"... didn't appear likely to pose a threat to the environment or to humans who eat it" --- what kind of standard is that?
Then the article states "In a draft environmental assessment, the FDA affirmed earlier findings that the biotech salmon was not likely to be harmful. It said it would take comments from the public on its report for 60 days before making a final decision on approval."
So first poke a bit here and there, find no problems. Then ask the public if they have an idea what could go wrong !!??
In a press release issued under the branding of the Anonymous collective, supporters for Hammond call for Judge Preska’s immediate resignation from the case.
“Judge Preska by proxy is a victim of the very crime she intends to judge Jeremy Hammond for. Judge Preska has failed to disclose the fact that her husband is a client of Stratfor and recuse herself from Jeremy's case, therefore violating multiple Sections of Title 28 of the United States Code,” the statement reads.
Just scrap the "On the other" [companies like Myriad Genetics and Optimal Medicine use the patents to protect years of work invested in research]... No one cares about that. That goes under the "ordinary risk of doing business". Built on sand. Investors/speculators didn't have, or ignored, complete picture of the situation.
"Nobel Prize winner Saul Perlmutter joked that the “only reason to win a Nobel Prize” was to receive the famous Nobel laureate (NL) parking permit, reserved for laureates on the Berkeley campus."

Careful what you ask for: next thing you know, scientists will be (even more) selected on their policies.

How is it with sugar consumption. Is there a correlation? S
Is this article written by a professional writer like Harlan Ellison, http://www.photographyhistory.com/harlanellisontypewriter.html ?
Surely not.

Now getting the impression you don't know what you're talking about.
Don't understand what?

I assume it's obvious that it's going to be windy around the power station. How windy, and how far away will there still be strong winds?

No such problem with twitter? Maybe twitter is for more easy going relationships, and facebook for more intense. S
Very nice to see he is not using the absurd "Software is Math" argument that pops up on groklaw regularly.

Amazon is getting too big. Use it and suffer in the long run.
So avoid it and enjoy the benefits. Just like this author most likely would have made her lessons more valuable.

Authors can generate their own unique id: keyword UUID (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier)
So no central database is needed. Just some conventions.

I think using "efficient" in this context is kind of a joke.
I have lived in places with populations of a few hundred and a few thousand without problems. In fact, smaller places make things a lot easier.
Basic economics that economists forget to look into.

Pretty funny: all those "advantages" can already be had by using public transportation. Cheaper too. Kind of easy to overlook nowadays.
