Learning JQuery is just learning CSS. CSS is pretty important to know, if you want to do anything with the web.

So if you are trying to avoid manipulation the DOM than avoid using the DOM manipulation library. Got it.

It takes like 5 minutes to learn to use Jquery, it is used in 90% of all current websites, and is still one of the best if not the best library for dynamic DOM manipulation and has incredibly easy to use ajax requests. I cannot imagine creating a dynamic website without it.

To protect the industry from patent trolls we are buying up all the free patents in the hands of individuals and forming them into a huge archive under the control of a single behemoth.

In b4 kickstartign campaign asking for 10 thousand to implement just this idea.

Does it use up the water? I hope it somehow at least eventually gets turned back into H20, because water is a pretty important and limited resource that is never replenished except for the few times in a millions years a large ice asteroid hits the earth. Way safer to to use a resource that is otherwise useless and created solely through sunlight like oil, or better yet get it directly from the source with solar.

Is it? 7.5 or 28 does not really make a huge difference. Boths portable use case is carry it to the car, walk to the neighbors, etc. Sure it is easier to pick up and move a 7.5 pound device, but 28 pounds is easily movable as well. They both seem to be in the same strata of portability to me.

Millions of people smoke like chimneys for their entire lives and many never get lung cancer. There is not a point X where you have smoked the exact number of requisite cigarettes and now are guaranteed to get cancer. You can put a different person into the exact same environment with the exact same cigarettes smoked at the exact same time and they will not both develop lung cancer at the same time, in the same place. Different people have lungs more or less able to cope with the smoking, either through their health or genetics. And different people are just more or less likely to develop cancer.

No cancer is caused by a single thing, but a bunch of different of genetic and environmental things all working in concert.

It is truly a travesty that a privileged asshole like Aaron who was handled with kiddy gloves all the way through gets this kind of credit, when there are numerous well documented cases of the actual overzealous persecution in the computer hacking world and beyond. People who were put into prison for decades, people who had the prosecuter lie and fake evidence, people who were unconstitutionally confined to solitary for months at a time.

Yes it is illegal to place orders you have no intention of ever filling to make people think the market is crashing so they will panic and you can profit from their misery.

It is crazy how much important stuff is in the "Amendments" to the constitution. What the f*** did they even put in the base document? It seems that every important right was added afterwards.

Well at least the summery seems to leave open the ability to use drug sniffing dogs/tools enmass without suspicion, you just have to complete that task quickly.

I meant of their shareholders/owners. How do they not act as the collective will of their owners? The CEO can be bossed around and fired by the owners. They own him, or at least his work as it pertains to their company. Yes, you have to worry abut the same things any democracy worry about. It is possible for the majority to vote against their wishes for a number of psychological reasons, but cooperations do not seem any more vulnerable to decision making problems than any other democratic based grouping of people.
