How would you like it if your grocery store had "surge pricing"?
I would like this very much. Then I can shop at non-peak hours when there's less people and get a discount besides. Of course, if I had to shop during peak hours then I'd go to one of their competitors that doesn't have surge pricing. Just so long as there's no monopoly, because then you get FU pricing at all times.
As I said in the dupe thread, I'll say it again: I want Firefox to be compatible with Firefox extensions. Not to dump their own superior extensions because Chrome.
An important difference is that a "non-lethal" weapon is much more likely to be used than a lethal weapon. For example, police will very frequently use water guns, pepper spray, tear gas, rubber bullets, tasers, and the like in cases where they would never have used lethal force.
Within the week, a new update will allow a) recognition of people wearing the "Privacy Visor" b) selling their name to people advertizing privacy products
Freemium games have a tendency to be badly designed so as to "encourage" people to pay up. As such, people become inherently suspicious of them. Maybe they should just go back to having a demo and sell the complete version.
Whenever you start itching to censor content you don't like, just keep in mind that some countries consider pictures of women not in a burka to be illegal pornography.
I wonder how easy it would be to convince some of our more rabidly anti-tax population to start treating intellectual property as both taxes and regulation. If you compare the price of an out of copyright book, or an expired patent drug, to its government-granted-monopoly version, you can get a dollar amount for the tax. And the regulation is, of course, the restriction on freedom that comes with protecting intellectual property. Each new copyright or patent granted, is itself a new tax and a new regulation.
People have been able to change the environment for ages (and the climate depends somewhat on the environment). Deforestation and overgrazing, for example. Done on a large enough scale such things will change the climate downwind. Vegetation affects the albedo and temperature and rate of evaporation and also particulates and volatile organic compounds -- global CO2 changes are not the only way to affect climate.
Man creates fancy cancer causing agent, lets call it... agent orange. Did God create cancer?
All those "carcinogenic" substances you hear about don't cause cancer -- they increase the rate of mutation, which wouldn't ever cause cancer if the cells were better designed. To put it another way, if people didn't naturally get cancer it would be almost impossible to design a substance that would give them cancer. If an engineer had designed human DNA, then that engineer would be blamed if random mutagens would routinely cause cancer -- that's why we have fail-safes and error-correcting code. Human cells also have fail-safes and error correcting code, but they're poorly designed.
Just as an example, the naked mole rat has additional fail-safes and so is almost immune to cancer.
Because it happened with computers so it must be more dangerous because I do not understand computers.
No, because computers allow for auto-targeting, self-deploying weapons. Though soldiers are notorious for unquestioningly following orders, computers really do unquestioningly follow orders. Imagine if there were a large army of robot soldiers and some crazy hacker got control of them -- or worse, a politician.
An invitation to bash Microsoft -- looks like Dice finally found out what topics their readership enjoys hearing about. However, it only gets 4.5 stars because they forgot to replace the S with a $.

Marriage is about way more than just sex.
There's nothing in the US constitution against violating the US constitution.

How about they upgrade it so it can run Firefox extensions?
It's still great news for all the people who are hungry for a weight loss solution that allows them to stuff their faces.

Was there something particularly wrong about seeing how others do something to improve your own work?

As an aside, the minimum wage has always been $0 an hour.
Lol nope. Some interns pay for the privilege.

Nice taunt! You sure taught him.

what about politician chimps?
We can't just keep digging up fossil robotic surgeons, that will only last another hundred years. It's time we started developing renewable robots.
