Gotta be careful with that. It kills dogs if ingested.

Me too. I use it to sweeten coffee. The worst sweetener on the market that is gaining more foothold is Stevia. I avoid it. I'd rather eat grass.

But a double big mac has more nutrients than a soda at least ..

Even the french fries do.

Personally, I enjoy baseball, but I find ESPNs coverage of it lacking.

Unless, of course, his resume goes into the round file because it doesn't agree with "known" information about him.

Actually, no. The defendant must either know it is false or show a reckless disregard for the truth of the statement. There need not be malice, only some expectation of an adverse effect.

Well, the kernel is fairly important don't you think?

Given a choice between rolling back everything including fixes to critical bugs, I'd sooner roll my init system back to SysV. In fact, I did.

The "diet" anything or aspartame?

While aspartame isn't supposed to taste just the same as sugar it's usually used with acesulfame k and that's supposed to taste similar.

Personally I've eaten lots of it and I don't notice any weird taste.

I know saccharin and cyclamate has been considered worse for longer and that there's taste issues with those but I always see this damn comment about aspartame sweetened things but for obvious reasons normally from people who don't consume these products.

But is it really about aspartame or is it about some other sweetener and these people just haven't tasted enough things to have a good opinion and is just bunching it all together?

And if so is it worth a 5: insightful?

I'm ok with them watching porn, as long as they don't have to see that rampart violence that litters TV.

Let's teach our kids that if someone fucks with them, it's ok to fuck them back.

It is not a necessity. Not any more than a computer, an internet connection or a dishwasher. It's a matter of convenience and enjoyment. People want to watch their shows. And to watch them, they need to be able to do just that. They don't care that they get channels they don't want to get. What difference does it make for them?

Sure, testing is important. But if you believe that your testing will catch 100% of subtle bugs, you are delusional. That's why the ability to roll back fast is a good thing. Tools like Puppet work better if you can get the server to boot and not all subtle bugs leave the server in that state.

Special snowflake software that throws a tantrum if some other component version is even one sub minor version different is not wanted here.

Hmm... couldn't we simply do away with them instead of me? I mean, it does accomplish the same purpose.
