Comment Re:danger vs taste (Score 1) 630

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?

He/she claim iOS is for people who don't know what Apple is and says he/she think that OS X is Apple for him/her.

But that's not the important part, the important part is what he/she uses today.

The original post ask where Apple is headed today since the person feel the quality has dropped. He/she talks about the Macbook Air though. Which is a cheaper laptop.

You don't need to take it anywhere.

Also the tablet doesn't need to be for you.

I don't remember what the point was but maybe it was it wasn't such competitive and awesome stick for $150 at all considering there existed tables with similar specs in that area.

If the tablet are cheaper and one could turn of the screen then I guess why not.

but realistically, where else are you going to get a $99 general purpose desktop computer that you can put in your pocket and carry around?

Uhm, his post started out with pointing out the tablets..

They even work as "general purpose computers" (where did desktop happen?) to a larger degree because they also have SCREENS.

Proof and proof.
I just ask why.

You seem to suggest whatever IO/s value they mention won't be there longer / in reality / whatever.
But you don't say why and I have no fucking clue why that would be the case so I'm just curious / wonder why.

Ok, so maybe they do have some cache then? I guess if it was writes it could had been the OS which held the writes in RAM for some time. For reads that would possibly had been harder.

Then again if it was numbers from the manufacturer I guess one would had wanted to see them from the drive itself.

In this case this run over multiple persons.

On the one hand those of the more nationalistic social-conservative party may have their opinion about immigrants.

On the other hand the communists may have theirs of both the immigrants and those individuals from the nationalistic / social-conservative party they point out.

IMHO the problem could be equally bad in that someone who think everyone should be free to live of Swedish well-fare and that it was ok to hide illegal immigrants (called paper-less in Sweden. Which I guess is just there to confuse people but hidden away under a "no-one is illegal", yeah, being human isn't illegal, being in Sweden when you're not allowed to is. Most of them don't have passports though. In some cases because they simply don't want to) being in charge of the outcome.

Sure. Tell what they have done.

But the system become kinda unfair if only the opposition is checked / demanded to be trust-worthy / whatever whereas the others isn't / they have no capability / no-one cares.

In this case it's communists who does it and nationalists who don't.
