There is a very terrible downside to your argument, that is, 1980's music would become free, perhaps an exception clause for that decade should be built in.
I've given up for over 4 years now, I don't get cravings anymore thankfully and I can also say I'm never going to smoke again:-) But it WAS hell giving up and I was extremely addicted.
Anyhow, these businesses should GTFO, STFU and stop telling people how to live their private lives, There really should be a law against companies dictating to employees like this and I think sacking a person on the basis of a legal activity should be grounds for unfair dismissal. Cheeky F**king ***ts.
Yes, I've been disgusted at the BBC for posting video clips on their website in a sensationalist manner, the clips aren't particularly newsworthy, they've sunk as low as the worst tabloids.
No, I cycle so I have to leave a safe distance to the car ahead, some drivers perceive a gap between me and the car ahead as a place to overtake into, pure stupidity as in slow moving London traffic it will probably be be mere seconds before I can overtake again.
An auto-driver will be better at maintaining a safe speed.
I'd love to see this in action on the motorway when traffic is moving at a slowish pace, someone would cut in front of the computer controlled car, at which point it'd have to back-off to maintain correct distance... rinse & repeat.
This wikipedia article puts it mildy, I'll put it as it s, they're a bunch of fucking scum baby killers who market baby powder to mothers living in places where the water will kill the babys.
I for one am boycotting all nestle products for life, the company should be shut down for a crime of this size.
They even admit it on their own website, they say they've stopped, I don't care either way, but from what other sites say, they haven't stopped.
So you're sick of a few people being extremist and you're fucking neanderthal solution is to be far more extremist and kill a couple of billion people, yeah, insighful, fucking morons.
Anon coward is correct, there are harsh penalties for falsely accusing someone of rape in Sweden and neither of the women accused Assange of rape. He's still an asshat for what he did, but it's not on the same level as rape.
The placebo effect of homeopathy cured me of headaches for life, I didn't even believe in homeopathy at the time and only went at the insistence of my parent. I guess the placebo effect fooled some part of my subconscious as I went from having several headaches per week to approx' 1-2 mild headaches per year.
I think it is worth leaving homeopathy in place, just because you don't understand the value of placebo doesn't mean homeopathy doesn't have value.
Drugs don't cure you, they help the body heal itself, many drugs don't even do that, they just mask the symptoms rather than deal with the cause of the symptoms.
Erm, or starting military offences in other countries nearly every year and having ongoing campaigns in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Philippines and Somalia currently.
I smoked cannabis daily for a decade, I never had to 'give it up' - I stopped gradually without any concerted effort whatsoever, I didn't make the decision to 'give up' cannabis, I merely stopped buying it because I was bored of it.
Tobacco on the other hand, - I tried many times to give up, tried very hard, was very addicted, failed many times, withdrawal symptoms are nightmarish - panic attacks, extreme craving, you're own mind constantly coming up with excuses to smoke etc. There is no comparison and I can say from personal experience that that study is total BS.
Looks pretty clear cut, the man is a liar, he did dope.
It's a real shame, I love cycling but I don't like Tour de France etc, because I'm not interested in watching a bunch of cheats race (maybe they're not, but I can't tell can I).
The Global Positioning System satellites (GPS) sends out the GPS signals, GPS devices only receive the signals, they do not emit them. Phones of course communicate via microwave EMFs with the cell towers and it is this which could be tracked.
I would have to disagree that not buying something is causing harm, that's an absurdity.
That's like saying not giving money to any particular charity causes harm, it doesn't, it is simply an inaction and it is stretching things too far to say it causes harm. Or not buying drugs from drug dealers is robbing them of income!
That's a bullshit argument saying that you should just get on and deal with the worst people. Most would say the extensive sanctions against South Africa helped to end the scheme of apartheid there.
I refuse to purchase stolen goods, this reduces the market for stolen goods. If the demand for blood metal reduces enough and the pressures are high enough then that market will end too, but if you just accept a bad situation then of course you will change nothing - a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Agreed and it should be read as implied when you visit such a site that you would want the shopping cart to work.

Dim-witted, pandering, posturing politicians passing some idiotic "cookie legislation"
Yeah, pretty much, it's still a stupid law that hits at the wrong target, cookies are useful and I don't need the BBC asking me to use cookies every day, and how do they remember when I say no anyway? store a fucking cookie, doh.

No, Crucial's are currently by far the most reliable, Intel's are a distant second, see:
Components returns rates (6)
Although if you'd have said that last year then you'd have been correct (things change quickly).
There is no reason to believe that the second law of thermodynamics can be violated
Other than certain instances of the Casimir effect you mean.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect#Repulsive_forces
Filter error: That's an awful long string of letters there, the slashdot filter is fucking retarded, it can't even handle a couple of links, but anyway this link should read - The Dynamical and Static Casimir Effects and the Thermodynamic Instability
The Casimir Effect and Thermodynamic Instability
I'm no physics expert but that last paper seems to say that black hole theories also break the second law of thermodynamics.

Too right and that's why my password for a lot of sites is 'mypassword'.
Your comment is false.
Do not track != Do not advertise
Newspapers, TV, Billboards etc all survive happily without stalking the public.
You read that as Neil Young pushes Porno didn't you, you big perv.

I'm going to patent kicking the phone to make the vibrator thingy cause the phone to smack the other persons head hard.
I like the idea in principle, but I think the amounts should be doubled and the money should be paid to me instead.

Buried past 4 clicks, a pop-up page and some crappy flash, a quite informative break-down.
The actual list
Spoiler, Intel is top (least bad), not surprising that they can afford clean materials.

Absolutely, let the greedy fuckers leave, we'd all be better off with out them and the decent ones would stay, best comment I've read all year.
