These cigarettes are not causing any harm because all of its effetcs are, [here comes your explanation/theory].
Not just "let's do science" and you hand out cartons of cigarettes and if no one gets sick, then you conclude it's fine.
The theory regarding smoking is what the common sense dictates. Inhaling ash is bad.
In case of the microwave the common sense is nothing, we can't even see it. Most people associate microwave radiation with microwave ovens, which do heating by creating magnetic fields changing over time to cause tiny molecules to wiggle, thus increase their entropy, energy, temperature. And it's just coincidence that these magnetic fields have a frequency of approx. 2.45 GHz.
So, OP should consider it a form of free heating in the winter, and sit outside in his pool on the top of Manhattan in the summer.
How exactly is this spying? They, at best, have your IP, some text and a few cookies from that domain. What could anyone do with the fact that you've been reading this and this at some site?
It's not like someone is constantly sending your passwords to a 3rd party. It's as harmful as someone seeing you read the news as you commute, wait at an airport, etc..
(NYT uses something similar; they seem to try to block blacklisted users from copying their text.)
That's simple cable via DOCSIS3. I'm in Hungary, it costs me ~50$, it's theoretically capped at somewhere 350GB/month, but some folks do twice as much monthly. Oh, it's also 120/10 Mbit/s.
Sadly, just using my arm isn't going to keep me from falling asleep. I regularly have to struggle to stay awake in class. Even if it's an interesting, easy-to-follow subject. However, after I go outside of the classroom, strech my muscles, get some natural light, I'm not sleepy anymore. Magic.
In Hungary most of the banks provide electronic-only (virtual) cards.
You just log in to the bank's site, transfer some money to the account for the virtual card, and then click the button on the web to buy something.
I find it very convenient. As I leave a small amount on that account, so if I need to purchase something instantly (like a domain, or some cheap gadget on ebay) I don't even have to bother moving money between my accounts.
Oh, and this is totally "free". (The whole package, main account, telephone banking, netbank, etc.. costs around 1 EUR/month.)
First of all, the banks lend out virtual money. And by paying back you reach zero for the whole system.
Also, if there wouldn't be über-rich kids that extra money could be somewhere else, hm, like in the hands of the workers, employees, you know, simple folks.
The world spends almost nothing on R&D compared to shit, like marketing, fake PR, legal bullying and meaningless hedonism in the form of extra luxury corporate anythings in Aspen and Dubai.
Sure, differences won't ever disappear, but they don't have to, just decrease to levels where some collaboration between people from the hypothetical middle class can achieve something with the same magnitude that of the extra rich's endeavors.
Nowadays the mindset of most people are so disfigured, disproportional and clouded by lack of knowledge about the financial sector, global economy that even a catastrophic failure would have been too small to open their eyes.
I'm not claiming that I'm right and all-knowing, etc.. only that they're very probably wrong. And they are being the economists, politicians, brokers and so on who think everything was/is in order and this bubble-burst is just a temporary glitch in the system. (And were/are shamelessly hoping for bonuses.)
Most of those workplaces weren't necessary in the first place. Also the US consumers are spending a lot of money outside borders. I'm not familiar with the numbers, but I'd guess, it's in the ~70% range or more.
First of all, a lot of jobs in the developed world are only for the "good times", when the country prospers and the citizens can afford these activities. (From golf course managers to yoga instructors and personal investment whatevers.)
Free means free, and implies that if you take something for free you also should give for free, else the "free things will be depleted".
Sure, open source software developers will continue to license their software under the GPL (or BSD, MPL, Apache, LGPL, etc..), because they think that's the right way, and that everyone should be doing the same. So this makes them trivially exploitable. And they're just pointing this out.
(Also if TFA suggests that corporations should contribute back because they have money, then that's a crappy article.)
Slashdot Mirror
100Gb? As in 12.5 gigabyte?
What's the point of more than one bathtub anyways? Or are you sleeping in one as well? Most of the day it's just taking up space.
Non Anglo-Saxon here from the EU. We use liberal in the personal, be as gay as you want sense. Coincidentally, the left is associated with it.
Also, there are no major political parties that are truly liberal nowadays, at least around these parts.
Difference between left and right, liberal and conservative is just empty words, like most campaign promises.
(Hurray for elections. Coming to Hungary in just a month! Pff..)
Interesting, thanks.
You start with a theory.
These cigarettes are not causing any harm because all of its effetcs are, [here comes your explanation/theory].

Then why conduct nonsense science? If he valued his life more than integrity, fine. But he could've had both, by simply not touching touchy subjects.
How can you reach the conclusion that there is a creator from the proposition "I think therefore I am"? I'm genuinely curious.
Pfizer spent most of that $48 billion on premiums, marketing, direct marketing doctors and hospital managers to Hawaii, etc..
How long can they last? Doesn't emitting ions cause the emitter to simply vaporize over time?

Even if it's the post's fault?
So, they deliver something into your mailbox, you just take them inside, and without even looking at the addressing, tear them open?
I've only found USC Part I Title 83 Sec. 1702. ( http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sup_01_18_10_I_20_83.html ), but it doesn't mention anything like that. (Neither the other sections.)
You can sell PLEX in-game and buy out-of-game. (~400 million ISK = 30 day PLEX)
My friend doesn't pay for EVE, because 400 million ISK is just change when it comes to in-game trading.
You really don't want to manually shift gears above a certain amount of horsepower and torque involved.

Just look at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_of_trade#United_States_trade_deficit
First of all, a lot of jobs in the developed world are only for the "good times", when the country prospers and the citizens can afford these activities. (From golf course managers to yoga instructors and personal investment whatevers.)
Funny thing happened. Wikipedia changed.
Now ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bisphenol_A&oldid=292773107 ) most of what you've quoted is gone.
Also, most of the "Health effects" section is very worrying. (Note the Lang study from 2008 September.)
Plus, the lack of long term exposure studies doesn't disprove the short term ones.

Not to crash your party or anything, but have a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A#Health_effects
/dev/random can be very slow. there are/were even DoS attacks based on this.
Just sayin' :)
