I don't know how religious you are about beef percentage, but if you use minced meat (even from butchers) it contains little actual beef.
In Norway, for instance, our liver pate contains exactly 0% liver. The information on the packaging is not human readable so nobody cries out about it.
If it is nutritious and not harmful I don't mind, but information should be available.
Since the definition of "ethics" is basically "something that can't be resolved or defined" I think we bought us another 30k years.
I see you subscribe to the popular postmodernist ethical framework.
Ethics is objective but lately we've learned (or re-learned rather) that it is objective in the relation to us being human beings. Unfortunately, this has led many to the unfounded belief that anything goes (which goes contrary to empirical evidence accessible to anyone bothering picking up a book).
Your shallow and ignorant proposition is equally true about the above scientific inquiry. How is it Aristotle's theory of mind is solving "new" problems in neuroscience? Or Hegel's? Ethics is essentially the investigation into what we are, it is the underlying theme of any scientific inquiry.
I printed out the entire background and stitched it up, reading through it in a couple of evenings before sleep. It's worth reading even for non-players (in fact, I'm still on my trial account).
No. But communist countries have yet to develop dynamic leadership. While Obama has to go away after 8 years in business, communist leaders will sit until someone topples them on the back room (not in the funny kind of way). Because someone is successful getting to the top KNOWS THIS, he must consolidate power, and spend the rest of his career making (bad) political moves to continue consolidating his power.
Give the same systemic opportunity to Obama, the King of Norway or whomever and they will do the same. (Perhaps not the King of Norway. He's way too relaxed. I blame medicinal herbs. But Norway's PM however..)
There are many ways to create communist states and communist societies without aggression to "you". Go read Looking Backwards (the American State Communist sci-fi), News From Nowhere (British anarcho-communism), etc for examples.
Agreed. Except in GNOME 3 I find myself messing about with the virtual desktops to an annoying degree. If I go with defaults, I can only alt-tab in 1 virtual desktop. That means having to ctrl-up/ctrl-down to find the right desktop to alt-tab in. Otherwise I use the "global alt-tab" extension, which works but visually makes me jump all over the place.
I'm way too fond of virtual desktops to give it up just because GNOME 3 is silly. Ditching GNOME 3 v soon.
When I was a conscientous objector I was often sent out with huge amounts of dollar bills to be sent to our field offices or million dollar contracts to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Alone. On foot and public transport. Wearing my "best".
Because, as my boss put it, "nobody's gonna rob _you_.":D
That is a great example. Also, this is more dimensional in that you have future1-to-past2 concerning event3 (which "moves" at its own relative pace). But I thought special relativity, according to Einstein, was the odd child out and not a description of reality?
I would think it's only a problem if you presuppose the _existence_ of time (which to my mind, Einstein does not), focus on local events as opposed to the totality of events, and in any case would not end up in a vicious causal circle but something of a causal spiral. The paradox occurs when you impose the chain of events on the presupposition of time de re, no?
I think I must go for a world without FTL travel, else I lose my sleep:)

More scary than funny.
On old phones I could tell numbers by what tone it would play, and knew if the number was right immediately.
Today, cell phone numbers are so many and varied that I just backup my contact list every once in a while.
Jar Jar?
Transparency, transparency, transparency.
So they have printed the ingredients to the tin now. Too bad it isn't human readable; p

Well, relevance will probably have something to do with how many eyes etc.
Security and stability bugs have many eyes looking.
VO has had an Android client for a couple of years. It was featured in a Linux Action Show episode ~ a year ago.
This is because your peace is imposing on that of other people.
That civilization needs war is BS. The other ways are harder, but not impossible.
They must be eating a lot of cheese.
I get that too:)

For American football, wrestling and rugby.

How many wax candles is that?
Except one holds in a scientific inquiry and the other doesn't.
Science is not merely consensus. It is verifiable by anyone who'd care to look and falsifications are applauded.
If you wrote a book about the book ban in Europe it wouldn't be banned. Try that in Turkey.
Instead of helping GNOME to modernize fallback mode
GNOME didn't want to modernize it. They abandoned it.
In great time of peril
Desktop devs are dare devils
Abandon tested ways
Each gnome for himself!
I like the idea, but so far it strikes me as people who think VR is cool, and don't have any solutions to the problems it faces.
Never mind the problems it faces, I am still wondering what problem it solves..
Reminds me of that gambler in Sopranos that owes the mob. They just keep taking and taking until he is in complete ruin.
Ironically they could make more money longterm if they'd kept him afloat. Instead they run him into the ground and go looking for the next victim.
communism tends to be aggressive towards you.

I seem to remember reading that Atlantis was actually Sweden.
So Atlantis never disappeared. It was simply _sweded_.

Well, I for one, welcome our hypothetical overlords!
That is a great example.
