Can they be a little more specific as to what it is that's in the soda that is causing this?
You think a beverage that can be used to degrease objects is healthy ? Coca-Cola is about as effective a degreaser as you can find.
It's really good at cleaning stubborn water stains on toilets and sinks, too.
I gave three representative examples, two of which were connected. I could dig up more links but why bother when faced with PopeRatzo.
FTFY. Actually, never mind. They are mostly indistinguishable synonyms.
Because technical incompetents (these days mostly non-sentient software) playing the stock market are the final word in the validity and future potential of a new technology.
Not really. Stock prices react to "news" quite consistently - earnings reports usually have the most dramatic effect, but everything significant from corporations will move the stock price. Compare the Apple announcements (even the widespread "rumors" of forthcoming announcements) to the movement of AAPL. Amazing what millions of people can do with a widespread meme, even when it's just a mass hallucination.
The fact that the stock continued to drop after this announcement basically says "it's nothing". Or, it's nothing they're going to make money from. But we already knew that.
Yes, because stock market investors make their decisions based on their scientific analysis of very niche technical products, and they certainly don't just follow larger trends such as, oh, I don't know, "a broad market selloff".
Well you should go ahead and put all your money into Lockeed Martin while it's at fire sale prices, then, since you have the inside track. No doubt in a few years when everybody is buying their fusion reactors you'll be rolling in dough.
Clearly, they have a big winner on their hands.
Lockheed shares fell 0.6 percent to $175.02 amid a broad market selloff.
Ah. Hmmm... maybe not.
I hear this a lot "molten core" "spinning" "causing magnetic field". But where's the proof? I'm not trying to be argumentative (or maybe I am to some small degree) but I would really like to know how this is "known". Because I'm under the impression that this is just a really good educated guess, that has yet to be proven, much like black holes.
I thought the latest theory is that there is actually a uranium-powered nuclear furnace in Earth's core?
Never forget, we are at
And, it's GameboyRMH, who has so many "freaks" he probably gets modded down regularly just for being who he is.
Can we still slashdot things?
Virtualization now allows admins to just add servers quickly to handle the load - still gets noticed, though. Didn't you see the "Welcome Slashdotters" sign?
Don't try to play the sex card, that guy is an asshole. Do you think the reactions 'round here would be different if it had been a woman harassing a guy?
True enough. But why shouldn't everyone be protected against death threats and harassment? Why would women get special justice (anybody remember "equal justice")?
Kathy Sierra has returned to explain why she left and what recent spates of online harassment against women portend for the future if decent people don't organize.
Why not just say against people? "I was harassed and received many death threats" - "So, what, dude? Man up!"
I would say that it is obstructionism, redistricting in ways that do nothing but try and ensure their own reelections, aka gerrymandering, and the such.
Both parties have that in their toolbox. Check this out: Bobby Scott's gerrymandered 3rd District.
Easy to say when republicans block those measures using crony democracy at every turn.
What the hell is "crony democracy"? Dirty looks? Because that's pretty much all Republicans can do to the administration these days.
Sorta. It is basically 'we control java and no one else'. It is the same argument again. They do not want anyone adding to the language but the gatekeepers.
That had nothing to do with the technology, just the Java(tm) trademark. Google didn't do anything that used the Java(tm) trademark.
