What the hell off the wall shit is this? Huh? If your six year old does that - tell him "later, shithead" and get a new kid. I'm dead serious. Seriously, you just posted something that's completely off the wall crazy and got modded +1 Informative for it.
Oh, and lord knows we must not say no to the child and make him not feel like everyone else! One builds the best character by facilitating one's children in being just like everyone else.
Your premise is flawed. Please show me a study indicating that eating a happy meal a week is bad for children. Now, you can make the ridiculous argument that, durr, probably smoking a cigarette a week isn't bad either, durr. Of course, I would then make the argument that it wouldn't be. You would then be dumbfounded and have a blank stare on your face.
Junk food is not just as bad as those things, that's just a ridiculous lie. In fact, a kid who eats 1 happy meal every week or two and an otherwise health diet will be healthier than some poor kid whose douchebag parents only feed him tofu, mushrooms, and various leafy greens.
God, when did this place become a hangout for fucking big government advocates?
Wow. You got modded insightful for something I can only assume was meant to be taken ironically. So either you meant it ironically and some buffoons modded you Insightful in which case good show, or you're serious in which case that's the most ridiculous drivel I've ever read. Normally I'd backup that last sentence but I'm 80% sure you were being sarcastic so I won't bother.
Oooh, zinger! I think we should pass a law outlawing political speech on the Internet. I don't see why anyone could complain. They are perfectly free to go outside their house with a sign and yell political slogans on their sidewalk, so what's the problem?
Ahaha. You got modded Troll for being completely rational. This place has gone from a mostly Libertarian type hangout maybe 6-7 years ago to a big government left winger pit lately, it's hilarious.
You make the common mistake of thinking that the government's role is to protect society. It's not. Government's role is to protect my rights. Everything else is just some group of people I don't know 5 miles, 50 miles, 200 miles, or 3000 miles away from me deciding what I can and can't do.
Oooh, sorry. Wrong. Gizmodo actually paid $5k out of the kindness of their hearts to get the phone back and give to Apple. It's amusing you think "receiving stolen property" will stick in this case.
Apple can not possibly keep up with the pace of hardware innovation from the multitude of Android phone vendors. It is impossible. So that leaves them impetus and the polish of their software, both of which are currently to the iPhone's advantage. Both of which, however, can change very quickly and he sees the writing on the wall.
To follow up my own post, I was referring to the Big Bang theory in the sense that most people you ask would interpret the question in terms of some kind of "creation event". That the universe is expanding and was caused by a "big bang" seems pretty clear, but coupled with a question about evolution most people would think "Does the Big Bang 'explain' the Universe?" and any sane person would answer 'no'.
Sorry, these two theories are not on a level playing field. Evolution is a ridiculously strong theory, it's really hard for anyone to not "accept" it unless they do so based on entirely irrational beliefs.
I might think, if not say, someone who doesn't "believe" in evolution is an idiot. I would not say the same thing about the Big Bang for various reasons, among them the fact that the Big Bang does not explain the state of existence at T(Big Bang) - 1. It does not explain creation, and in fact creation is inherently inexplicable unless one resorts to "Magic" of one form or another.
"What, that??! That's not a feature!". "Multitasking? That just drains your battery, nobody wants that!".
Android will bury Apple for the same reason the PC buried the Mac. There will be a dozen companies coming out with fancy new hardware at a breakneck pace that Apple cannot keep up with.
It's already happening - the HTC Evo is to the iPhone what the iPhone was to an el-cheap Windows Mobile phone. Sure, the next iPhone will bridge the gap but Jesus, what's coming out later this year in the Android camp? I can't imagine.
A lot of those books are simple and boring as hell to modern readers, just like music from 1950 will sound simple and cheesy to most modern listeners. Their themes and literary devices may have been super-unique and exciting to people of the time, but we've all read them (or seen them in film, on TV, or Christ in comic books) over and over. Many of those books may get points for doing it first, but in most cases it's been done better since.
In a lot of cases those books are circularly beloved classics. They're classics and people love them because they're...classics, and people think they should love them lest they be labeled philistines.
There are way more "classic books" than there are great, unique, timeless books.
The standard is beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant making up "any old story", with no corroboration, to explain real evidence the prosecution presents is not enough to remove the doubt from the evidence.
I'd laugh if the defendant claimed "uhh, someone must have planted it by stealing blood from a fake donation event". The prosecution had presented evidence the defendant was unable to effectively refute.
That's retarded and just shows blatant ignorance. There is no standard ASP.NET could adhere to. It's a server side programming platform. Please, show me the standard a PERL CGI script adheres to, or a PHP site. Any of these, including ASP.NET, can generate compliant HTML.
In the case of MS, it's two things. First, nobody but nerds cares about any of this.
Among nerds, it's rage that normal people don't care. So instead of letting the market work it out, they know people won't change their buying habits so they attack the "problem" with an authoritative approach. Can't make people buy what they (nerds) see as "better"? Then get the government to force MS to change.

Lol, sodium is the element they're worried about? Yeah, salt's just _so_ bad for kids, their little ankles might swell up!

How can you disagree with his point? He said:
I wasn't aware that including a toy with a meal was "taking advantage"
It's very hard to understand how one can possibly disagree with what he said.
You make the common mistake of thinking that the government's role is to protect society. It's not. Government's role is to protect my rights. Everything else is just some group of people I don't know 5 miles, 50 miles, 200 miles, or 3000 miles away from me deciding what I can and can't do.
Huh? Reasonable suspicion also applies to warrants, can a cop just go "that dude's got dark skin, Judge, give me a warrant!"?
Oooh, sorry. Wrong. Gizmodo actually paid $5k out of the kindness of their hearts to get the phone back and give to Apple. It's amusing you think "receiving stolen property" will stick in this case.
No, not like that at all. Nice story, though.
He's scared.

Yeah, because Apple using the old artificial scarcity ploy makes it sooo successful.
1. Hype a product for months on end.
2. Intentionally sell out for a week or two to make people think your product is in crazy demand.
3. ??????. Wait. Actually you can skip 3.
4. Profit!

That the universe is expanding and was caused by a "big bang" seems pretty clear, but coupled with a question about evolution most people would think "Does the Big Bang 'explain' the Universe?" and any sane person would answer 'no'.
It depends on how the question is posed.
I would answer "Do you believe the Big Bang theory explains the origins of our Universe?" with "absolutely not".

Wow, I wasn't aware there was a standard for using PERL! You've found something amazing and unique!
I'm being sarcastic.
That's retarded and just shows blatant ignorance. There is no standard ASP.NET could adhere to. It's a server side programming platform. Please, show me the standard a PERL CGI script adheres to, or a PHP site. Any of these, including ASP.NET, can generate compliant HTML.
Irony fail. What does ASP.NET have to do with any standards?
