If you think fructose is bad, stop eating fruit, cuz it's the sugar you'll find therein. You could just as well call it "fruit sugar" as "corn sugar" -- both are correct.
To the best of my knowledge there are no sodas that contain fiber. There are also very few that contain any vitamins, which fruit has plenty of. Eating foods with HFCS in their current form is absolutely nothing like eating fruit or corn. For one corn and fruit both have fiber and vitamins. It is not in the interest of consumers to mislead people into thinking that HFCS is good for you by changing its name. It is already quite appropriately named.
People give tyrants power. If people did not submit to the authority of tyrants they would have no power. I believe the percentage of sociopaths in the world is around 1%. I don't think one percent of the population is a match for the other 99%. I'm not claiming that I know how to resolve these terrible conflicts peacefully. But, believing that there is no possibility of peaceful resolution is counter-productive. You are also wrong about Milosevic. He was peacefully removed from power. Or at least removed from power without war. So i guess some evil can be stopped without war.
In the five-man presidential race held on September 24, 2000, Milosevic was defeated in the first round. The election was won by the opposition leader V.Kostunica, who won slightly more than 50% of votes. Initially refusing to acquiesce, Milosevi had to concede defeat amidst street protests.
Following a warrant for his arrest by the Yugoslav authorities on charges of corruption and abuse of power, Milosevi was forced to surrender to security forces on 31 March 2001 following an armed stand off at his fortified villa in Belgrade. On 28 June of the same year, Milosevi was transferred by Yugoslav government officials from the jail in Belgrade where he was being held to United Nations custody just inside Bosnian territory. June 28 as vidovdan was possibly deliberately chosen as a significant date in Serbian history. He was then transported to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav Constitution prohibited extradition of Yugoslav citizens and Kostunica formally on legal grounds opposed the transfer that has been ordered by Serbian Prime Minister Zoran ini.[125]
IANANB but there is a big difference between a compass/gps and what the article is about. The biggest difference is that you don't get to control the ankle prosthetic. The brain is forced to process this stimuli every time you face north. The gps on the other hand can easily be ignored. The brain is very good at rewiring itself and from the layman's neurobiology I have read there is very little difference between the senses at the level of neuron(except smell, i think). Therefore, the brain should have no problem interpreting novel recurring signals as a new sense. Also, read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia
And cochlear implants are just electric shocks in your ear. Are you saying that people with cochlear implants cant hear?
Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

I know this might seem pedantic, but isn't "coincidence" when two or more things happen. So, if my friend and I turn up at the same place at the same time, without planning to do so, that's coincidence.
So, our existance in the Universe is merely "incidence". It is not 'co-' with anything else.
What about the existence of life being co- with the existence of the universe. Here intelligent life is me and you are the universe. When/if we turn up in the same place it is a coincidence. Also an alternate definition of coincidence is simply; a chance occurence.
I don't mean to pick on you but I just happened to get a little fed up as I reached this spot. You may make effort to avoid advertising but unless board yourself into your house and don't talk to anybody, you are failing miserably. I find it odd that we are having a sort of dick measuring contest based on how few commercials we watch. I however don't find it the slightest bit odd that we don't even realize just how bombarded by advertisements we are, and apparently don't even know what an advertisement is.
It seems to be the general consensus on this thread that advertising is TV spots radio spots and web banner ads. We are completely ignoring labeling(branding), word of mouth advertising(Your friends might not have the strength you have) and astro-turfing to name a few. Right now if i look around my desk I see Cisco, Compucom, Dell, TI, Tripp-Lite, Frito-Lat, Vitamin Water/Coke, Dunkin Donuts, EMC, Google, Think Geek, GV, Dickies, GE, Intel, Microsoft, IDG, O'Reilly, RCA, Slashdot, and MBTA. And I'm not even looking that hard. We all see billboards, people holding Dunkin Donuts cups, signs for businesses, peoples opinions that have been influenced by advertising or hear a brand name used as a synonym for the product(pampers, Kleenex, asparin). Ad block and Tivos(sorry DVRS) can help but we nevertheless cannot escape.

Alcohol is an amazingly strong drug. Alcohol has a therapeutic index of about 10. A therapeutic index is the ratio of a drugs ld50 to its ed50. the ld50 is the median dose that would kill 50% of the population and the ed50 is the effective dose for 50% of the population. Meaning, 10 times the amount of alcohol that will give you a nice buzz will kill you. To put that in perspective, another dangerous drug heroin has a therapeutic index of at least 20. While drugs like marijuana are virtually impossible to overdose on. Typical pharmaceutical drugs have therapeutic indexes in the 100s. If any drug should be illegal because of the danger it presents to its users(ignorant or not) it should be alcohol. When you think about it, you have to figure that across America and the world, on any given night, there are a significant number of people who drink enough alcohol to kill themselves. The lucky ones puke and live, the others die.

YouTube has developed systems that help keep pirated clips off the site and is developing video players that present clearer images than the site's standard player.
It's when the theory hits the practice. Problem is, when you hand capitalism (or any 'everyone works for himself' theory) to the people, they're still greedy and inherently flawed. Thereby ending up with a situation similar to... America.

The ratio of fructose to glucose in the fruit as well as the fiber content determine how much of the sugar is absorbed. -- http://www.askdrsears.com/html/4/t042600.asp

i believe in Fahrenheit 451 everyone was assigned a whole book. So it was more like napster than bit-torrent.

^wicked stupid^. What i actually found was extraterrest and just assumed. You know what they say. Mod me down good and hard.
I found extraterrestrial in the gcide dictionary. That is 16 letters. I don't know if its in the illustrious Oxford Dictionary. But, it is on Princeton Word Net. http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=extraterrestrial

Smith is great, in theory.

Note: Similar to, not exactly like.
