"That usually (YMMV) means you're eating the wrong food. Your body tends to stay hungry until it has got what it needs. Eat something else and the craving remains."
Your comparisons don't add up. First, it's true that CFL can be 3x, or even 4x, more efficient than today's halogen but it's not always the case and we aren't talking about today's bulbs. Second, you compare single pricing to case pricing on the bulbs. Third, your bulb life comparison is meaningless. CFL bulb life varies just like incandescent and a 5x advantage is not typical. Fourth, your assumption that bulb heat effects overall efficiency is naive and fifth, no CFL produces the quality of light of an incandescent.
Finally, you have vastly understated the issue of dimming. There are CFLs that are dimmable but the capability damages their efficiency and causes their costs to explode plus they don't work well. Many dimmers don't like CFLs of any kind and just wait til your expensive dimmable CFL fails in 3 weeks and takes your dimmer with it.
LEDs are far more promising than CFL but they don't dim either. Neither touches the beauty of halogen, though I don't expect the typical/.'er to be able to tell the difference.
"It certainly means the ideation is there, though." It does? How? "However, I have to say I disagree with the assertion that child pornography is a substitute. Communities that practice this behavior legitimize it, if nothing else." Examples? What behavior? Legitimize what? In what way? "I think the key difference in this case is that he used a photograph of an actual child... her inclusion in this is a type of exploitation." Hardly. Her photographs are her means of easy money. She's not effected in any way.
"Would any right-wing nutjobs care to explain why it is that the most environmentally stringent cities and states just HAPPEN to be the most prosperous?"
Perhaps because prosperity isn't just a function of politics and environmental policy? Could it be a function of California's natural resources?
Yes, the 5D2 is a groundbreaking camera in the area of incredibly shallow DOF video. Otherwise, it sucks. Up until now, videographers haven't been hamstrung lacking the ability to shoot 35mm frame sizes with a 85 f/1.2. It's just an excuse to trumpet a Canon product.
Whether sexual preference is genetic isn't a matter of what problems exist if it is. Being stupid could be genetic as well, and the failure in your reasoning is your assumption that stupidity qualifies someone for a handout.
"While we are not all the same, we all have a choice, and our society seems eager to shirk that consequences of that responsibility while retaining the benefits."
Yes, and you pointing that out sure sounds like homophobia. In the case of homosexuality, what consequences are being "shirk"-ed by the cause being genetic?
"That is an interesting observation, considering that Apple is the primary WebKit contributor... "WebKit began in 2002 when Apple Inc. created a fork of the KDE projectÃ(TM)s HTML layout engine KHTML and KDE's JavaScript engine (KJS)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit [wikipedia.org]"
Another interesting observation is that the source you quoted, a Wikipedia article no less, does not support the assertion you made. What evidence do you have that Apple is the primary WebKit contributor? I'd wager that the original KHTML source constitutes a greater contribution than Apple has made.
"As Steve Jobs was saying at the time when promising things like support for native applications, Apple was still working on their security model and other aspects of the platform to insure that applications could not compromise AT&T's services or other things."
Jobs didn't say this. Jobs said that 3rd party apps couldn't be supported because of security concerns and never promised, or even suggested, that an SDK would be coming. Jobs lied about security to cover for his incomplete product just as he lied about 3G.
"We see that they've finally added cut and paste, but not in response to earlier complaints, but according to a schedule of work they had to get through."
It's easy to think this way until you've actually purchased INSTEON products, then you'll beg for just about anything else. I'm in the process of replacing my INSTEON crap right now.

Thanks for the old wives tale, AC.
You should post with your name and save us all the trouble by simply declaring yourself an idiot.
is that something to smile about?
If only there were a virus would kill in proportion to how big an asshole you are.

While I couldn't agree more, I looked for this comment earlier in the Andreeson article and didn't see it. Both are worthless.
"The sad thing is that people have been screaming for this now for years, and Apple essentially delivered it first."
For your definition of "essentially" perhaps but Apple was far from first.
a couple minutes worth of resistance training here and there isn't going to do anything for weight control

You might want to think a little harder before commenting in the future.

And ScummVM's developers are equally belligerent for preventing developers from licensing ScummVM in certain ways.

"Far better to plan the inevitable downsizing than to pretend it isn't going to happen."
Why is that?
There's no such thing as a piece of the Android business. Android is a means to an end, not the end itself.

Your understanding of this issue is similar to your understanding of what hypocrisy means.
"Mac OS software takes special pride in its taste and aesthetics - something Java can never achieve."
Nonsense, it just hasn't achieved it to date.
"And now as more users and developers focus on notebooks, resource hungry Java applications are again bad fit."
Tell that to Android.
"Spinning cycles for nothing is forgivable on desktops and servers - not on notebooks."
I think you got that backwards, fanboy.
What is your source for this?
I think you need to stop pretending that you know what you 're talking about. Lots of swapping to "disk", really?

How do you know that?
Knopfler commented on the song himself. He wrote it after observing two guys make small talk of that nature. No hidden meaning of any kind.
Why not? Steve Jobs did.

Why laugh inside and keep it to yourself when you can laugh outside and let the whole world know what a dick you are?
