Grass-fed beef is superior in every way. I don't eat corn or soy, and I don't want my food eating that crap either.

I'm 100% open to the idea of creationism, no more or less than any other idea. I just need a little more evidence (more than zero) before I accept your assertion that the guy who created it will throw me in a lake of fire for all eternity because I masturbated or touched another man's peepee.

The point is, Amazon should have designed the Kindle from the beginning such that it was impossible for them to delete anything without the user's permission. This isn't a matter of law, it's a matter of my device doing what I want it to do.

It wasn't a secret, but it's still bad.

Amazon can't delete "content" from my kindle, because it has never seen an internet connection. It has never seen an internet connection because I don't like the idea that amazon can delete my books. As a side effect, I can't buy ebooks from Amazon.

To get me back into their ebook ecosystem, Amazon would have to modify the kindle such that they are technologically incapable of deleting my books, even if compelled to do so by law.

It's not his company; he hasn't been involved with McAfee the company since 1994.

Those are all grains, not algae. Algae would be much healthier than all that Whole Foods crap.

... but then my motivation to ever help Wikipedia in any way whatsoever was deleted due to "lack of notability".

Nothing we're talking about here is affecting EVERYONE. It's affecting the population as a whole, on a STATISTICAL level. That doesn't imply anything whatsoever about any given individual.

That statement is true in the most pedantic, literal way possible. It's also completely and utterly useless to someone trying to lose weight, since nobody knows what their calories burned number is or how it will change in response to a change in diet or exercise (or climate, or stress, or sleep, or illness, or monthly hormonal changes, or literally anything else).

Yes, you're correct that you can look at literally 100% of people who lost weight and say "they ate less than they burned!!", but that doesn't mean that telling a fat person to "eat less than they burn" is in any way helpful, since the only way to determine how much you burn is to keep track of your calories in and how much weight you've lost over a particular time period, then calculate your burn rate after the fact.

It's like someone asking you how they can make money, and you tell them "It's simple math, you just have to buy low and sell high, you fucking retard!"

If "sugars, fats and salt" are overused, what exactly do you think should be in processed foods? Just protein?

You can't apply laissez faire, cutthroat free market principles, such as "It's their service, they can do whatever they want" unless you're actually in a free market situation.

For internet access, you can start by eliminating all local monopolies and providing equal right-of-way to anyone who wants to lay new infrastructure, or at least requiring (and rigorously auditing (this part is important)) that infrastructure owners provide equal access and equal customer service to competitors.

It's not a free market situation unless I can choose between Comacast, TWC, AT&T, Verizon, DSL Extreme, and Jimmy-Joe's Old Fashioned Internet Access all at the same address.

Fixed This For You

That's why you wait at least a year to buy any new console. Well, it's one reason. You also wait so you don't pay five hundred fucking dollars.

From the same article:

That's pretty clear. It seems to be stating that you can actually unplug it, and that text you're quoting is probably describing the separate ability to turn it off in software.

They'll still have DRM, just not phone-home DRM. It took a fucking long time for PS3 piracy to get off the ground; even now it's pretty hard to successfully play a pirated game; and PS3 had no net-based DRM at all.
