No, it is that Monsanto has a bad reputation for manipulating public opinion and suppressing facts. There are many front groups that are funded by corporate interests. To ignore this when judging the merits of research is folly.
You sir are arrogant and unpleasant. Maybe in X years we will truly find out how safe these things are. There is no conspiracy, only a link.
People like you do not see things before they are too late. People who stop and think about things (and witness them) are people who discover problems. Nobody thought X was harmful until it was too late. Maybe I am wrong about aspartame, I honestly have no idea, I just thought I would throw it out there. There is plenty of sources that state both angles.
I am not really sure to be honest. I do not see what these individuals can benefit from scaring people away from aspartame? The security industry? I am suspicious of aspartame because it was/has been manufactured by Monsanto and know people with MS who drink too much diet colas.
There is at least a link to symptoms that are similar to MS. Given the number of people who drink diet coke, there must be some people who are sensitive to it.
Maybe one day we'll learn the truth (the truth is out there) but something just seems fishy to me. I know someone with MS who drinks lots of diet coke, I don't trust it.
It is interesting that aspartame was once manufactured by Monsanto. I have no idea why there are so many pages linking aspartame and MS. I don't see how Monsanto would benefit from this either.
Knowing people with multiple sclerosis, I can say it is a horrid disease, you gradually lose your functions over time. I believe there is some links to aspartame intake.
If we can grow stem cells in test tubes and then periodically inject those, is that morally dubious? Like growing artificial meat? Or we go the Bioshock route and go harvesting...
The ones I know are SharkLaser and InsightIn140Bytes but they are so obvious.
You would think someone would actually realise what they are doing. It's like going to a party and bullshitting to everyone. It makes you an ass and unacceptable in social situations.
Apple hurts the computer industry as it does not want to permit free competition, hence the walled gardens and lawsuits.
There's another Slashdot article about the attack on general purpose computing. It will be a sad day when we're all using 'apps' for different pieces of work. It's a mindset that takes us backward as they're never really integrated or promote openness.
I might strongly dislike Apple but I know a good design and I thank Sir Ive but not Steve Jobs as it influences the rest of the industry. Ive has done more for us than Steve Jobs. The thing I hate is the business practices with the walled garden and arrogance over my 'user experience'. (This probably comes from Steve Job)
You can be pretty sure any article from any business news website, financial websites (NY, FT times) have vested interests and inherent bias. Since this is WSJ it's a certainty!
What happened to you World Wide Web? You used to host true facts. It never used to be ONLY smear campaigns, astroturfing, advertisements and junk -- I would adopt countless trolls instead of this fate!
They may throw away the BB OS and we'll have less choice.
I would rather BB exist by themselves. Look what happened to Maemo, MeeGo, WebOS, Palm and all these other promising designs. It's bad for us consumers if BB disappears.
In the UK BBs are good because of the cheap monthly contracts compared to other phones. I think they've reversed the stereotype of being business-only and managed to be attractive to consumers.
Has anyone noticed the ridiculous volume of negative RIM/BB articles recently? It's like some large interests want to kill the popularity of BB. The date of the downtime of BBM was particularly interesting too...
You may have a valid point but circumstance leads me to presume you are paid for your post. Especially since you are spreading FUD about NoScript.
Please note the first post combined with high ID and instant score 5. Shills do have cooperating accounts. There is a network that infiltrates communities like Slashdot...
I don't think you're right. The private sector only steps in when it is profitable to do so. Government run space programes set the precedent for the private sector to step in. They proved it was possible. It would have taken longer if it was a purely private venture.

Can you tell me more about this?
I have always assumed it was the aspartame as the active ingredient in diet drinks.

That should read sugar industry.

It's not hard to find more than one page suggesting it's just a hoax.

There is an interesting TED talk about this: http://www.thefilterbubble.com/ted-talk
Duck Duck Go made this website to reaise awareness of bubbling: http://dontbubble.us/
You are a paid shill. You have no genuine opinions since you are obviously willing to change them on a dime.
Don't you want to think for yourself?

Oh that never occurred to me. I assumed it was like a normal title like Mr, Miss or Mrs.
Thanks!
Yes! That's what I mean.

Thank you Johnathan Ives,
I commend the design of Apple products.

Thank god we now have Rounded Corners(tm).
Offtopic: Hey GP, Are you InsightIn140Bytes =P?
I think you would find Loper OS interesting:

I wouldn't be surprised. Quite sad really.

I use Microsoft products on a day to day basis. There is something fishy going on Slashdot, see my jorunal.
This is probably the first post posting as AC.
Get a real job!

Accidentally modded you incorrectly. I meant to mod you insightful.
It seems the shills are out in force!
Look at this guy's ID and past posts. He has been paid for.
I'm just reading this thread from the sidelines and I cannot tell if you are trolling or just stupid.

I agree with you. There is much less groupthink than everyone presumes. I moderate up quality posts I disagree with to keep the discussion balanced.
There is much less groupthink here compared to digg in its heydey and Reddit.
