  1. Re:Artificial? on General Mills To Drop Artificial Ingredients In Cereal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    HFCS is the worst offender, but even simple fructose is bad. It goes straight to the liver. You should keep your intake of the stuff to the barest minimum you can. It's as bad as alcohol for your body, and you don't even get the benefit of a buzz. Just lay off the fructose and your liver will thank you.

    Stick to dextrose (glucose) for your sweetener. It's much easier to digest. Just don't go overboard with it.

    Maybe not officially executed, but several of Putin's opponents and naysayers wound up dead anyway.

  3. Re:reverse Amazon shopping on Amazon Overhauling Customer Reviews · · Score: 1

    Count yourself lucky. Since Amazon has been using the USPS more and more, their 2 day shipping to Prime customers has been more like "you'll get it when the Post Office eventually gets it to you".

    I would love it if they gave me a choice of shippers. The worst one in my area is FedEx. I honestly believe the drivers can't read. The Post Office is slower, but at least they deliver to the right address.

    You got it.

    Now grow up and stop bitching.

  5. I guess Californians will just have to get along without Uber.

    I'd like to get along without California being part of these United States, but that's not possible, is it?

  6. Re:Hash and Salt on LastPass Reporting a Security Breach, Including Authentication Hashes and Salts · · Score: 1

    If it's corned beef hash, you really don't need the salt.

  7. Charter offered me a job! on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Service Providers When You're an IT Pro? · · Score: 1

    One time, after being bumped up to the next level of support, the Charter representative told me I knew what I was talking about (I had correctly diagnosed the problem) and actually asked me if I wanted to work for them.

    I told him thanks, but no thanks.

    Just as a side note, if you're ever on the phone with an complete asshole, hang up and call right back. Most times you'll get a different person.

  8. Re:Looks like on France Claims Right To Censor Search Results Globally · · Score: 1

    Does all this mean we can simply forget France? If so, then great!

  9. Re:Some policies must have a "national" consensus on Trade Bill Fails In the House · · Score: 1

    I think you meant 435 Representatives and 100 Senators. They are all members of Congress, so they are all congressmen.

    It's okay. Everybody makes that mistake. Apparently they don't teach civics in school anymore.

    I don't dare go there. I want to live a few more years.

  12. The real gravest threat on Why Our Brains Can't Process the Gravest Threats To Humanity · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Like it or not, agree with it or not, believe it or not, but the gravest threat to any of us is the one to our mortal soul. That we should be able to understand very easily, but there are still millions of humans in danger of losing theirs.

    What is today or a few years compared with eternity?

    Where do you stand? Think about it before you answer. It's not a matter of believing or not believing. Belief won't get you anywhere. It's a matter of choosing which path you'll take.

    I know I may be modded down, but it's important enough to me to tell you anyway.

    It has always been like that.

  15. Re:Fear of guns on Stormtrooper Arrested · · Score: 1

    The principal was just jealous of the outfit.

    On a more serious note, I routinely check natural gas service lines and meters around schools, and the equipment I use looks very much like a terrorist's bomb vest. Makes me wonder when some idiot will call the police on me. And, no, we can't go to every school office and tell them what we're doing. We simply don't have the time.

  16. Re:Good. on US Bombs ISIS Command Center After Terrorist Posts Selfie Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think we should bomb anybody who takes a "selfie".

    And we should torture the person who came up with that word.

  19. Re:No on Netflix Is Experimenting With Advertising · · Score: 1

    You're probably right. I've been thinking about dropping Netflix anyway because I just don't watch it as much as I used to when it was new and different. I also have Amazon Prime (mostly for the free shipping), so I could drop Netflix and probably not suffer a bit.

  20. Re:I've already uninstalled the windows 10 nag ico on Windows 10 Release Date: July 29th · · Score: 1

    That's exactly how my computers are set up to handle the updates. Microsoft can tell me about them, but let me choose which ones, when to download, when to reboot (if necessary).

    I've always waited until after everybody else installs the updates on their computers, just so I'll know if one update screws up their system. It has happened before and it will happen again.

    The employees who were not laid off in 2013, but who lost their jobs when the company went bankrupt, should find the former employees who sued the company and beat the living shit out of them for costing them their jobs.
