The problem with this is that there are a lot of rebranded things, or sub-brands if you will. Odwalla is Coca-cola now, etc. So you need to also check who distributes that toothpaste because it might say J&J or Colgate in the fine print! Companies can produce new brands on a whim these days... but luckily they tend to be shelved not too far away from all the things you did recognize from that vendor. I've also seen knock-offs that are actually produced by the company they appear to be competing against.
Shows what you know about hippies. I can't think of something more hippie-esque than to support "animal liberation" and destroy the idea of the dichotomy between humans and animals. The destruction of this dichotomy is necessary to promote empathy.
Therefore, 5 = 4? No, but suppose both sides are divided by 0,
5 / 0 * 0 = 4 / 0 * 0
It really does seem like a symbol (like i) is needed to represent this. Suppose we pick 'n'.
5 * 0/0 = 4 * 0/0 0/0 = n
5n = 4n
It would be tempting to divide both sides by n, but does Dr. Anderson explain what a nullity divided by a nullity means? It sounds like a worse problem to have than just 0/0. Do we need yet another abstract symbol to explain n/n?
I work with a Java developer (moron) like you describe. Whenever he comes upon a NullPointerException, he adds a nice little if (object != null) block around the code that hit the exception and calls it a day.
Good job in following the logic. However, you're looking too hard for absolutes. You shouldn't be so general and say "all", because there would most certainly be exceptions. If we found it acceptable to do experimentation on brain-dead humans that couldn't feel any pain, then animals would surely be acceptable in the same situation. In those cases, the guardian/legal representative/"owner" would be the one to consent.
Part of the difference is/who/ does the testing, partially because doing it ethically doesn't scale. There is a major difference between a professional that truly intends to discover something new, and thousands of first year students doing something routine.
Why is the parent "Insightful"? Animals can't consent to such things as I'm sure the patient in TFA did, just as he would have to sign a consent to let NASA send him into orbit.
I think it is is easier to program the machines to force you to buy the phone insurance than to train the sleezy sales-persons that go so far as to select the option on the form for you stating that it is "required" even though the form says it is optional and you say you don't want it. Since machines don't work for commission they wont say "trust me, I'll make a note and remove it for you tomorrow."
This is why we need online voting. In fact, screw voting secrecy, lets make you have to do your taxes online and vote at the same time. (4 years is too long for a president anyway, nobody can remember that far back in the US, so we might as well have to vote every year)
Then in a couple of years I can just disregard this with a click of a radio button:
"Would you like to contribute $1 to the Jeb Bush campaign fund? This will increase the amount you have to pay on your taxes."
No, you misunderstand the word "theory" if you get the impression that confirmation means proven. A theory is never proven, it can only be repeatedly refreshed with new supporting data, or disproven.
This should be interpreted as Yet Another Big Bang Confirmation.
In scientific usage, a theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it often does in other contexts. Scientific theories are never proven to be true, but can be disproven. All scientific understanding takes the form of hypotheses, or conjectures. A theory is in this context a set of hypotheses that are logically bound together, often having used the hypothetico-deductive method.
Theories are typically ways of explaining why things happen, often, but not always, after their occurrence is no longer in scientific dispute.
You don't even have to look that hard. You'll find porn right in the Start menu that they didn't know how to hide. Don't even bother uninstalling this stuff in doing them a favor because it will just find its way back... always does.
I agreed with this 100%. Then I went back and read it and found that document does reference pen and paper and it also says "All these thoughts and ideas have one common goal: Reduce the users effort while creating a document. The user should only enter the data e.g. the text and define a layout and a structure. He should concentrate on the things that matter."
But as a synthesis on top of what I gather is the spirit of your comment, jotting ideas is naturally messy, and the act of refining and reflecting on these ideas before they are crystalized is an important part of the process. But since this interface might be so efficient with all of its patterns, someone will have made a permanent visual design decision while still in the middle of writing the content. That piece of paper in your pocket is the equivalent of the software throw-away prototype which should never be released (yeah right that rule never gets violated).
So it may turn out that this doesn't promote any process, but instead it creates a One-Stop Document Shop -- like email, it can be written and delivered before the author has even had time to realize what ended up in the document. (I just searched the document and didn't find any reference to KMail, I would have expected some challenge to Outlook in this integration.) On the other hand, when a word processor is too hard to use, the user might just click a template button, enter some content and press print.
BTW, while we're rethinking the word processor, isn't the save button antiquated? Shouldn't the application be journaling all my actions and if it crashes it opens in the exact state it left? There should really be more of a tagged version scheme where versions are explicitly tagged, but many more versions are automatically created and garbage collected over time when they aren't tagged for keeping. I would have to be retrained if this was implemented because I currently have a habit of hitting Ctrl + S pretty much after each mental breath I take.
Here's my usage model: I immediately turn on the paragraph marks, get rid of a toolbars and menus and make the document full screen. The paragraph marks add extra noise to the document to help keep the flow going and make the big blank document not so intimidating.
It's only after I have at least a page of content before I start breaking it up with headings or however else I need to start bring more form to the document.

For a sub-brand example, Santitas looks nothing like Frito-Lay at first glance on a store shelf: http://www.fritolay.com/fl/flstore/cgi-bin/produc
Yeah, it's just a pour and the planet is going through puberty.
What's going to happen to all those air miles I've accumulated?
Then what does this do?

The Tab Mix Plus! "Add-On" is still the best way to do this.
With enough memory, hibernation takes *a lot* longer than a clean boot-up.
On second thought, n/n might reduce to 0*0/0*0, which is simply n.
5 * 0 = 4 * 0
Therefore, 5 = 4? No, but suppose both sides are divided by 0,
5 / 0 * 0 = 4 / 0 * 0
It really does seem like a symbol (like i) is needed to represent this. Suppose we pick 'n'.

I thought there was a meta-role called a "Director" that did exactly that.

How many hours will it run before it needs an oil change?
Computers have the advantage of being impartial
Isn't that solved by having both all parties supervise?
and unlikely to make mistakes
But wouldn't human error in vote counting be generally unintentional and reduce to noise, self-cancelling in most cases?
Do we just need to wait for E-Voting 2.0?

This reminds me of an allergic reaction, in the sense of a useless over reaction. Is the US now allergic to terrorism?

We could use the gimpy wheel to write "BBL" in the sand :)
It is so interesting that we leave tire tracks on other planets. They may be that the first signs of life we find, or that other beings find.
Imagine the tension if we found ourselves face-to-face with a foreign martian rover!
