Way to put words in someone else's mouth, asshole.
Nobody has said that he should be recognized above and beyond his workmates at Bletchley, but you. Nobody has siad that he should be apologized to more than any other persecuted gay person becaues he was more useful to the government, except, again, for you.
Putting those things together is something that/only you/ have done, and it makes you look like an asshole.
Alan Turing deserves an apology, and trying to weasel around that like you have done is simply dishonorable.
The purpost of fat is to ensure an organism survives when there is not enough food, and in worst case, during famine.
During most of the history of the human species, famine has been inevitable and greatly lethal.
Those humans who can best gain the most fat in the shortest amount of time, are most likely to survive - they are superior than the naturally thin people who are the first to die during famine.
'Curing' people of the ability to gain fat would be severely detremental to the species ability to survive as a whole, outside of specific cases as stated in the article, such as disease or specific genetic conditions.
People don't care about privacy, they just don't. Everyone here on/. upset about govenment civilian spy programs and such, and then everyone else gives up everything about themselves, willingly and deliberately, on sites such as Facebook.
Let me say that again, just so it's clear - most people just/don't care/ about privacy.
And/they/ are the ones that we need the laws to protect, those not smart or competent enough to take care of themselves.
Bringing the point back to the article - as soon as some flashy popular website springs up that takes this stuff into account, you'll have/millions/ of people uploading this information about themselves.
Is it still an invasion of privacy when people give up the information willingly?
To put it simply, you're arguing that bloat is a user-driven 'feature', and that performance, standards implementation and techinical features like process seperation are 'trivial features'?
Forgive me if I can't take the rest of what you said seriously after that. No wonder IE and Chrome have managed to become better than Firefox so quickly.
Are you kidding? This is the Firefox dev team. Of course they won't. They'll say it's impossible, and call you an idiot for even thinking of suggesting something like that. Not until someone Microsoft or Google does it, will they feel any need to implement something so useful.
Wow. The Firefox developer community really doesn't care much for its users, does it? I've interacted with them in small ways in the past, and this verification of my suspicions only supports the dim view I take of them.
You think publically calling people 'a piece of shit', is somehow not trolling?
I'm sorry, but your post reflects complete igorance of what the word 'troll' means in modern culture, and specifically in regards to this article.
If someone came up to you in a game, called you a piece of shit, a coward, an asshole, a pigfucker, then killed you - would you call that 'not trolling'?
Sounds like you're definately over thirty, and definately anti-social. People who play games with the intent of being assholes, are generally treated as such.
Welcome to the world of being a grown-up human being, I hope you can join the rest of us soon. And no, it doesn't automatically come with age.
It gets them a brand, which they valued at being worth obviously more than they paid, else they wouldn't have bought it. I tend to think they know what they're doing.
Really, that's all I can say. You'd find great empoloyment in North Korea, Iran, or the UK as a person capable of fucking over the rest of the population with your totalitarion 'freedom of information must be destroyed' ideals.
Seriously. Fuck you, and stay the hell away from my internet.
Now that's absolutely fucking bullshit. How many real heads of police do you actually know? They make your average corner crack dealing baby rapist look like a fucking saint.

Someone set up a torrent!
Because at 2.5k/sec, I think we're about to break their servers.
Bad eyesight does not increase a human being's ability to survive in difficult survival conditions.
Bodyfat, however, does.

How many of those MSIE browser percentages are /other/ broswers that are merely spoofing 'MSIE' to your site?
If you can't measure that, you don't have an accurate measurement.

So why are you using iTunes if you don't want to?
This is an honest question, because there /are/ many alternatives.
If you don't like iTunes, but you /still use it/, that's your problem, not Apples.
Most gamers don't play 'FPS' games.
Is this evidence of extra-terrestrial life?
The organized and deliberate complexity of those 'knots' certainly seems to suggest so.
Hah!
Ahem, sorry. You don't know your history at all, do you?
Oh no, it might be dangerous!
We better not do it then!
Moan panic aaaah fear shock trauma noooo!
Both are better than either individually, of course.
"Intellectual Property"?
This is the Government. They government controls the police, military, and courts.
They can seize /anything/ in country, with the power of eminent domain. You either smile and nod, or are told to leave.
It gets them a brand, which they valued at being worth obviously more than they paid, else they wouldn't have bought it. I tend to think they know what they're doing.
I thought I blocked the 'Idle' category. So why is this shit showing up on the front page?
Bullshit.

You're making the common mistake of confusing 'media hysterics' with 'actual science'.
You don't need iTunes to put music on an iPod, either.
Just felt like pointing out that you essentially just posted that 'This is a false statement unless it is a true statement'. :)
