There are vineyards in NH and upstate NY today. Not all grapes need warm weather. And not all wine made is "good" wine.

Law always trumps private contracts. Private contracts are enforced by law and dependent upon it. If I signed a contract that would make me a slave you couldn't enforce it (not with the legal system at least).

Driving? Is that something like burning gasoline to physically relocate his body?

Oh the horror! Imagine skills that transfer across Linux distributions! I won't LIVE in such a world!

Ahh, I see - I read that wrong. I thought it was the difference of "before vs. after" for the low-carb group.

The abstract lists significant % changes for the low-carb group - but doesn't show the numbers for the low-fat group. If the change is significant but tiny then it may as well be insignificant.

Contrary to the typical libertarian viewpoint not all opinions matter or are worth considering.

My kingdom for mod points...

Okay grandpa. Just FYI don't be scared of all those loud things out on the roads. They're like buggies only without horses. No they're not run by magic.

init scripts are already a mess of incompatibility across Linux distros. So what if systemd is "yet one more" different? At least it brings proper process management.

This is data mining. If you compare enough things you'll find strange correlations. There is little plausible reason to believe there is an actual causal relationship here.

These are also "irrefutable correlations":

US spending on science, space, and technology correlates with Suicides by hanging, strangulation and suffocation:

Number people who drowned by falling into a swimming-pool correlates with Number of films Nicolas Cage appeared in

Per capita consumption of cheese (US) correlates with Number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets:

I didn't say we can't have "machines that fly." But that we won't have a machine that performs the functions of a "machine that can fly" and a "machine that drives on roads and fits in my parking space at work."

AKA a "flying car."

Perhaps more like "we'll never have flying cars."

Very nice example of confirmation bias. You went looking for everything that supported your belief.

Now go look at the down-modded ones as well. As I said - anything not toeing the line is at 1 or 2.
