Facebook conducts human experiment without informed consent, and no way to opt-out on a study who's goal was to screw with your emotions - screw Facebook.

Soda companies conduce human experiments with informed consent of their focus groups who had the option to opt-out to figure out how to better sell their product to you - no problem found.

It's a subtle, but important difference.

There is a big difference between data mining and human experiment. Just collecting the information to see if anything correlates isn't even worthy of an experiment, and is barely research. Attempting to change how people perceive the world to change there behavior is a human experiment, and that is exactly what they did.

The line is at Informed Consent. Facebook's insertion of "research" in the TOS does not constitute Informed Consent. If they wish to conduct research on people they're going to have to get an IRB breathing down their necks like the rest of us. No IRB = No Human Research Studies. If they had done the study with the context of only showing negative or positive information about their spouse to see if there was a correlation to the couple staying together that could constitute actual harm.

Java was made to relieve some of the complexes of memory management and the coding that went with it. Less code in an error prone stage of coding that was inherent in C++.

Only need to read his paranoid fallacy coupled with " i cant back it up with facts just yet but". He's concluded that they must not really be offended because no real native american would be offended. He's a paranoid delusional nutcase who would accuse you of being paid off if you didn't agree with him.

Ah, a no true Scotsman Fallacy. Grats.

Given that the Adrenal Cortex is responsible for the stress response it probably works to combat autism stress by slightly damaging the gland responsible for over stressing. And only a small portion of that 50% actually need any life long treatment for the damage which does exist. So your "toasted" adrenals is a bit of an overstatement. Finally, Autism is pretty much life threatening in that they have much shorter life expectancy, and a far lower quality of life.

Basically. It would mean they could be regulated. The "Fit Willing and Able" part of being a common carrier would require them to upgrade as the regulations demanded. There is only one argument I see as valid against making ISP's common carriers, and that the resulting legal mess might make things chaotic for a few years, or even a decade. Too many legal/court things have been done under Information Services that changing would give a lot of lawyers a lot of money.

The drug is still in use, and there is nothing preventing a doctor from prescribing it for an off label use.

It would probably cause more problems than it's worth, but it might be able to render some form of cheating worthless. If each program had a different layout then knowing what address you needed to hook into to cheat could be a problem. I don't see how it could cause more problems than anti-cheat software already does.

Yes, Yes it is, and anyone who can't recognize the evil in wishing for someone's infant to die a slow and painful death, and then doesn't look up to see if that "wish" is possible deserves the fate they've set themselves upon.

Dumbass, may you be forced to sit and listen while your infant child dies slowly of Whooping Cough because some dumbass didn't get a vaccine.

It doesn't get happy, it doesn't get sad, it doesn't laugh at your jokes. It just runs programs. - Short Circuit

You miss understand. They don't actually want morals. They want something that will do what they tell it to, and whatever it does is OK because they can claim that it is moral. What they really want is a rational excuse machine which would be the opposite of moral.

If you can afford the current DSL and Cable monthly costs I'm pretty sure you can afford a 300 dollar setup fee and FREE from then on for 5Mbps line.
