So who gets to decide what is "good" information? Even the foremost experts may disagree (and surely they do, at least on the details). I agree that good information=good voting, but unless you have a concrete way to decide on what is "good" information you're going to have a corruptible system.
Furthermore, how many viewpoints get to be aired? 2? 3? Maybe the leaders will decide what the x viewpoints are, thus completely deciding what the people get to hear. How do you prevent that?
Sure, the electorate is polarized now. But you seem to be assuming that without the fairness doctrine that won't change, or that forcing "balance" or something like that would help fix that. Why? For the record, I'm an adamant supporter of net neutrality, but I don't see the two being related.
There are multiple levels of selection pressure in social creatures. In early humans, you would have had individuals, family groups and maybe multi-family tribes. If there is a trait that is more beneficial to the group than it is harmful to the individual (on average) then it would most likely propagate. So having a gay aunt or uncle could have useful. Of course, that's just one possible explanation.
Maybe you need to retake civics class. The majority can sit on it if the courts deem their laws unconstitutional. It's time you got used to the 14th amendment, advice Kenny could use too. We've had it what, like 150 years now?
Bullshit. That's the same tired tripe they've been pushing since well before the civil rights movement. You can't discriminate against blacks and you can't discriminate against gays. Get used to it.
This is great! Now whenever I need to find out what does or does not support flash, I can just come to flashdot! Seems to be all that's posted here nowadays.
I had to use IE8 for several months at work before I switched to Firefox. I noticed quite a speedup, let me tell you. When most of the apps you use are cloud-based and you have to use the browser to use them, 1-2 seconds delay here there and everywhere adds up. Often I can do a task faster than the browser loads the page, so I'm already done in Firefox before IE would have finished loading.
Not me. I fucking hate ads in every form. That's what happens when they've been forced on me through every medium my entire life. Probably going to cancel my cable for that reason, since even with the DVR I have to see them and deal with them. But then I guess I'm in the minority.
I really don't see Linux's vaunted stability with Ubuntu, especially with media players. I was pretty happy with Amarok (the only one I could get to work decently to that point), but then it broke for no discernible reason. Do you have another distro you would recommend that has similar usability, but perhaps more power options and stability?
The action they're referring to in the question, though, was done before the girlfriend crossed the bridge. To make your analogy sound, say you had to bet on whether it would be a 1 before you roll the die. Then once the 6 comes up, the risk at the time you placed the bet was still non-zero, so there was risk.
Gamma rays have a higher wavelength, which makes them less likely to interact, but a correspondingly high energy which makes the possible ionizing effect greater if they do interact.
My only experience with windows 7 was setting up my uncle's new laptop for him. First thing it did after booting? The ui crashed. Then it only took 2 hours to get through the setup. You'll excuse me if I don't take your word for its excellence.

Yeah, I want a citation too. It is the exact kind of thing he'd do.

This is actually quite an elegant way to solve the question!
Shut uuuup

Not the same thing, but they are starting to move in this direction. XBRL is already being phased in by the SEC.
In China, everything is made of lead.

They can go suck an egg. Our culture, our copyright privileges to take away.
If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, and your hand passes right through it, it's probably an imaginary duck.
Protip: Real ducks don't talk
Fool, it wasn't them, it was one of their sockpuppets. Sorry, that's "advertising agencies", like MediaSentry.

They already ported the original Half-Life to Source, so it's likely you will see it.
Look at his posting history. This guy worships at the altar of M$.

This comic seems appropriate.

So fetuses aren't people? Quick, someone tell the Christians!
