"For the rest of the world, who don't quite grok our quaint pronunciation here in the good ole South, the word ya'll is pronounced like [yawl] similar to [yawn]."
For the rest of the world, even the English speaking world, "ya'll" isn't even a word.
What if I were to say that "promising $100k if you just show up to work, write some software, and make sure that software works is just preying on the fear of poverty"?
If you don't see the difference between your example and a religious promise, it's going to be difficult to continue the discussion.
There are many who prey on peoples fear of poverty, but those who pay programmers $100k a year are not among them.
Down the road, of course, the AP might go to Congress and ask that whatever tracking and rights system it settles on be given the force of law. It's not as crazy as it sounds; European publishers already hope to get a law enforcing the Automated Content Access Protocol.
If content providers get the ability to enforce moronic schemes like this one, many people may find themselves in the receiving end of lawsuits--even some who just followed older fair-use provisions.
Sandbags (964742), if you were replying to my post, then you did a great job at coming up with a rant full of caps that is as long as it is irrelevant. If you were not, disregard what follows.
Your statements, which I quoted in my post, were that (a) a bottle has a fixed amount of BPA to leach (fairly obvious), and (b) that after several uses and cleanings in a dishwasher, the BPA present (i.e., remaining) in the bottle should become negligible.
The study I cited found that a regular bottle has the capacity to generate big amounts of BPA during a long lifetime. So your point (a) is obvious and your point (b) is false. QED.
Regarding the separate and orthogonal discussion about whether realistic household usage would result in the release of significant multiples of the BPA released when the bottle gets used at standard room temperatures: the evidence we have is that exposure to high-temperature liquids is positively correlated with BPA release. You have any evidence that lower, but still high, temperatures such as the ones applied to dishwasher loads do not result in significant increases in BPA release? Let's see it.
Also, a new bottle only has a fixed amount of BPA to leech.
True, but...
After several uses (especially after being washed in a hot dishwasher several times) the amount of BPA present should be negligible.
that depends on your definition of "several". This study showed that bottles exposed to a normal dishwasher process leaked an average of 36 times the amount of BPA released by new bottles during the first 51 washes, which went down slightly to an average of 29 times the baseline for the subsequent 118 wash cycles.
Those don't seem acceptable levels of leakage to me.
Crazee Edeee, his prices are INSANE!!!
