    Oh Jebus. Now there's a rabidly anti _Nestle_ contingent of angry, sanctimonious nerds too? For fuck's sake...

  3. Re:As a 520 user.. on Official: Microsoft To Acquire Nokia Devices and Services Business · · Score: 1

    You, and many posters here, seem confused. Windows Phone is, in almost every way, superior as an OS to Android. So you mention "better OS" then go on to mention Android? I find it bizarre.

    I like and use Android mainly because the only big, high end phones right now are Android but I'm under no illusion than Android is the better OS. All Android has going for it is the size and maturity of its Play app market.

    Hmm. Your rant is too long for me to fully read, but if I understand correctly GRR MICROSOFT!? Is that about the gist of it?

    We're at a point where culture and upbringing will have a far greater impact on humanity's future than evolutionary pressures.

    And who, exactly, do you think it is that is breeding like rabbits? Hint: It's not well educated middle class or above people.

    We as a society should not pay for heroic efforts to restore fertility. There are a lot of kids suffering out there with no or with shitty evil parents.

    God, the talking point. It burns.

    Finland is not anything like America, and you can't force public schools on anyone it's inherently anti-democratic.

    Correct. What's your point? Do you think your judgement can stand opposed to the benefits of self interest? What are you, fucking 7?

  9. Re:Another damned collectivist on Why One Woman Says Sending Your Kid To Private School Is Evil · · Score: 1

    And you're missing the point. The point is I don't give a flying fuck.. My child's well-being outweighs any such abstract concepts. You know, instead of buying them toys, going on family vacations, giving them too many Christmas/birthday presents, etc.. I could be giving that money to people who are starving, even children who are starving.

    I don't. My kids outweigh abstract considerations. If that makes me a bad or selfish person I'm fine with that. I'll just have to deal with it, huh?

    The driver knows the terms of the agreement, if they don't like it don't use the service. And saying they are employees is like saying I'm an employee of Craigslist or Ebay if I sell something, or I'm an employee of Google if I sell android apps on their Play store. It's fucking risible.

    And nobody is skimming tips. I can't wait to see the convoluted logic claiming they are.

    There's nothing novel about this, it's already been done for a long time in various ways. It's just another "do something common and obvious...in email!" patent.

  17. Re:Would probably be outlawed... on New Drug Mimics the Beneficial Effects of Exercise · · Score: 2

    No, I'm thinking of Steroids. If you do them right they are quite safe. You need to manage your dose, and manage aromatization to Estrogen, make sure your blood pressure doesn't get too high, etc.. But it's all very doable. And vastly safer than the side effects of obesity.

    Most of the nasty shit from steroids happens when you're trying to gain 100 pounds of muscle that you could never carry naturally and you're on 10grams of various shit a week.

    It literally is steroids, that's what replacement Testosterone is. One of the most effective steroids is good old fashioned Test. But generally your doctor will not take you to levels above that of a normal 20 year old man, for example.

    So? Have you seen the side effects for pretty much any drug when not used correctly? I said _can_ be used responsibly, not _must_ be used responsibly.

  20. Would probably be outlawed... on New Drug Mimics the Beneficial Effects of Exercise · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Steroids, contrary to the public perception, can be used responsibly and with few health consequences, especially by men, to more easily lose fat and gain muscle.

    It's not quite a free lunch, you can't sit on your couch and become Ronnie Coleman, but it will accelerate things.

    Oops, sorry. Because we must protect the "integrity" of sports (and the money they bring in) we decided Steroids should be scheduled drugs

    They'd probably do the same thing if something like this actually worked.

    Don't encourage them. Maybe it was funny the first few times, now every dumb asshole with delusions of wit goes on there and tries to make funny. It had officially jumped the shark when some political satire rocket surgeons went to the binders and made a Hie-Larious joke about Romney's binders and binders of women.

    Yes, I'm getting old and jaded and find less and less of Internet hilarity to be all that funny any more.

    What specifically is shitty about Windows phone? And I did say "specifically". I find it amusing you're interested in a bastardized 1990's looking piece of shit phone OS. I have Android right now, but Windows phone looks nice, is responsive, polished, and has the best development tools by far of any mobile OS. They start coming out with 6"+ 1080p phones for Windows and I will get one for sure. But I'm not a neckbeard...

    You don't know what you're talking about and you sound like an imbecile.

    Everybody and their mother will tell you all about the "megapixel myth". If anything, it hurts Nokia to have a 41MP camera because dipshits like you crawl out of the wood work and "snark 41MP lolzers!!".

    The pixels are rather large for a cell phone, and the sheer abundance allows for super-sampling and digital zoom. It would not produce better images with fewer pixels.
