  1. Too bad... on IMAX Tries To Censor Ars Technica Over SteamVR Comparison · · Score: 4, Informative

    IMAX doesn't know trademark law. But for the dumb-asses out there...FTA:

    "First of all, this isn't a story about IMAX, and it contains just one (nice!) reference to IMAX. The statement wasn't Ars' speech at all, but one that an Ars writer chose out of many possible interview quotes. But that's all a bit of an aside, because the important point is that despite Ruby's fantastical interpretation of what a trademark means, we're actually allowed to say whatever we want about IMAX. I can say IMAX screens look like SteamVR, or that they look like my 47" Vizio TV, or that they remind me of purple bunnies. We can review IMAX directly, we can compare it to other products, we can love it, we can hate it—all without IMAX's permission."

  6. Re:Another lie exposed on FCC Votes To Subsidize Broadband Connections For Low-Income Households · · Score: 1

    Listen douche bag, this isn't a new program. The federal Universal Service Fund (USF) to support access to telecommunications services at reasonable rates for those living in rural and high-cost areas, income-eligible consumers, rural health care facilities, and schools and libraries. It's in that vain that the FCC is including broadband access since more and more services are being offered exclusively on-line. Heck good luck still getting a paper bill since most companies and utilities want you to go paperless. So it's needed.

    And if you panties are in such a twist how about bitching about the corporate subsidies we give out to ultra wealthy corporations like Exxon Mobile.

    Really? Because everything resets and starts with the new administration and nothing should have been done in the past? Today's policy decisions are affected by decisions made in the past.

    The craving is worse with HFCS. It's been shown to be addictive like. Unlike sugar cane.

    I said sugar cane so not sure what you're griping about. FYI when people say "sugar" they typically mean sugar cane.

    Check the research on how HFCS is metabolized versus sugar. It's different. Studies have shown that HFCS effects how satiated people feel when eating; people keep eating. This is not the case with sugar. These are facts supported by research. You can stop trolling for the corn industry.

  12. Re:Excellent. Now how about High Fructose Corn Syr on FDA Bans Trans Fat · · Score: 1

    I'm not trying to say sugar is good for you - far from it - but HFCS is worse. If the food manufacturers left sugar as the sweetener instead of switching to HFCS, health problems wouldn't have been as great. Consumption spiked when HFCS was used.

    I do agree reducing sugar consumption would be best. It would be nice if sweeteners weren't used everywhere. For example in salad dressings and pasta sauce.

    Problem is people tend to over-eat because of HFCS. People will consumer more because of the HFCS. This is not seen with sugar cane.

    HFC is not sugar. It has a different chemical signature and is metabolized differently than sugar. It's actually worse than sugar.

    Even in low consumption HFC is bad. Sugar would be a better. HFC is just used everywhere it's hard to get away from - even if you don't drink pop.
