I think that the obvious rebuttal of this Libertarian argument is GM and the ignition switch issue(*). When companies have all the power to disseminate information about their products there can never be an informed customer.

* Or the Ford Pinto where the cost of law suits was balanced against the cost of fixing an issue.

There was a story last week about how extroverts would be the worst possible people to have along on a multi-month trip to mars in a very small spaceship. That is something that introverts are better suited for doing.

Extroverts Don't Belong on Mars

I heard discussion on the radio today, that while the 1999 action went one way, that there has been a change in public perception and that doesn't mean it will go the same way again this time.

Of course I was also listening to a talk radio guy who was claiming that this case is all about the government in Washington deliberately creating a mini-crisis in order to deflect public attention away from the real issues in DC. Seriously.

A few weeks ago a couple of characters in Doonesbury were looking for a new slogan for their company. Their choice was: "Don't be Google". This stuff just adds more weight to their decision.

So don't be Google!

All over the country? The Barcade website lists 3 locations. NY, Philly and New Joisy. So has the country reverted to the original colonies, or do you mean "Barcade like" locations?

That maybe so in western culture, but somehow I don't think that the banana being used here "The Highland or East African cooking banana" is affected.

Why the fuck the TFS quotes a source from Phys.org, when you can straight to QUT and get THEIR press release Super bananas – world first human trial (which has a lot more detail)

Americans don't add dairy products. Instead they add this thing called "creamer" for which I have no idea how it relates to a cow.

Plus, given that the nostalgic view that Americans as a culture have with regards to coffee revolves around brownish sludge in a piece of glassware that wouldn't look out of place in a laboratory; I'm not even sure they're starting with coffee.

Ok I can see that that is useful.

I never heard of FeedFliks, so I went and looked at it. And then wondered why do I need someone else to tell me about how I use Netflix? Or to tell my friends what I like watching?

Seriously, Is this what amounts to "innovation"?

Tricked or not, Reagan must have thought at the time that giving amnesty was a reasonable thing to do. You don't bargain a point that is abhorrent to your core beliefs.

The ironic thing is that on Brat's website he lauds Reagan - a president who signed into law amnesty for about 3 million illegals.

And do you know what else it doesn't do? It doesn't allow you to play buzzword bingo!

So the relationship is superfluous to question. But we don't/can't know that from your submission. Thus you WILL get a bunch of replies saying ask your partner, and given that the question reads like a relationship advice request ("what can I do to understand my partners interests?") you will get a bunch of replies like the OP, especially given that /. is slowly dying (and I bet net craft can confirm it) and people are trying to hold onto the tech side of things rather than the crap(*) that is being promulgated as submissions.

* Not saying that your submission is crap, just that it is badly worded (especially for this audience.)
