    Macbook Pro, you mean it is closer to being one of the most under-spec'd over-priced hard to use laptops that you cannot even use 99% of peripherals without carrying around a duffle bag full of dongles that has one of the most awful keyboards imaginable that you have to be damaged in the brain to think it useful. There is nothing "Pro" about the Macbook "Pro", Apple could put a Apple logo on steaming pile of shit and Apple cultist would still buy it and really think there shit doesn't stink.

    In NO way can you claim Lincoln was like modern progressives. Modern progressives are exactly the reason why Greece is messed up. Greeks want the government to pay for everything, hardly work and retire young. Exactly what the modern progressive millennials are actually doing.

  7. Iraq wasn't a lie, just that the intelligence was really bad and Saddam was trying to bluff that he had chemical weapons. I was there as line infantry in 2003, every single Iraq unit was told that some other unit had chemical weapons. Turns out , no one actually had them. Saddam was advised by more than one foreign government that the US wouldn't actually attack, well that failed.

    Obama had 8 years, and he still has dial up. So it is Obama's fault , too many people were getting Obama phones.

  11. Many computer scientist do programming, some didn't even like to program at all!(Edsger W. Dijkstra) . Real computer science degree programs hardly focus on actual programming, it is more related to theoretical math. Rarely do you ever find someone that just learned to programming that has spent the time to understand computer science.

    But I can see just having some programming grunts for the mundane tasks. Anything that is little more involved can quickly turn into a clusterfuck really quick. Worse items I have seen by "just programmers that didn't need school". implemented a sorting algorithm on accident that runs in O(n^4) time, no wonder the performance blows and brings the simulation to halt at times. Home rolling a new message passing system, that deadlocks every 5 hours(His name was Jason and he was dick that thought he was better than every CS major).Implementing your own rules management system in access. And the worse of all, saying a program crashed when their computer was off.

    She isn't 116 is the reason, just do a google image search for "oldest living person". She easily looks 10-20 years younger. Her birth certificate was most likely issued much later than her actual birth date.

    ars technica quote multiple food scientists at various universities , it wasn't a random ars technica writer. The problem with the way the CBC lab tests is that it used a DNA test to say what percent that chicken/soy etc. Problem is no one uses a DNA tests to calculate percent of content, they only use it to detect that the meat kind of meat. Example usage is detecting what kind of fish that is actually being served in a restaurant. Accurate test methods have a way of separating the meat into its different parts, ie dye methods or mechanical separating (example centrifuge) or spectrum analysis. DNA testing basically has too small of sampling to be accurate, ie you cannot do a large scale dna test of entire piece of meat, only very tiny portion that easily can be contaminated. Example they could sample a 100 different samples of individual piece of meat, but the problem is most likely even if half of those samples contained 1% soy, the test would come out with 50% soy content. Which isn't correct.
