Really, the vast majority of people cannot treat water the same way that most bottling companies do. You surely aren't going to lime treat the water, and very few people have a reverse osmosis setup at home. I call bullshit on Bullshit.

did you catch the episode of Bullshit where they said that all bottled water is just tap water? Where they completely ignored the fact that while the water does indeed come from "the tap" (typically the county water supply where the bottling plant is located), but it's not put straight into bottles as received. For example Pepsi treats their water with lime, then runs it through reverse osmosis before bottling it.

Point is that Bullshit isn't exactly a good source of information.

Indeed, NoScript is a constant reminder of how much a) ad related b) tracking related c) who knows what related (obscure domains) javascript out on the web. I've been on sites that had 10 external domains trying to run javascript. The sad part is that on the vast majority of sites that have external javascript, I can leave that javascript disabled with no detriment. Typically, enabling javascript for the domain of the site I'm visiting, and maybe a CDN domain makes everything work (menus, videos automatically, what have you).

Ad to this redirects which you can't do anything about? Talk about hell! At least you can block ads and control javascript (to a large degree, including running your own (GreaseMonkey, etc)), but you can't un-redirect a link. Sure you could use javascript to try and resolve all the links on a page, but all you gain is having your browser do it in the background instead of pre-click. But that's a helluva kludge.

Down with tracking. Fuck you if you want to spend your time watching me. The horror of the digital revolution is that now you don't have to have an actual person to spy on people :( Which is exactly why it's very much different for a police officer to stand on a corner watching out for crime and having a camera mounted there recording all the time. But I digress.

All we can do is voice our opinion against this trash practice, and try to avoid it as much as possible.......so FUCK YOU TWITTER, stop acting for your own interests and respect mine!

its not just the road to hell that is paved with compromises

it may be true that yelp isn't unbiased, but it's still an excellent source of reviews in San Francisco. I see tons of places with low ratings

that's a retarded standard.

who the fuck are you to judge what is trash and waht is "actually a good look"??? I tell you, days ago, I knew this tattoo artists who was making mega bucks giving tattoos to bikers and I just see all those young folks getting new tattoos and his business increasing. (to throw in useless anecdotal evidence ^^ ). you're a straight up fool if you think that tattoos are a fad, or are trending downwards. It's sorta like weed that way, all the kids are doing it

You do realize that the top 10% of people spend proportionately less than the rest of the population. Instead they invest much larger percentages of their money (especially compared to the bottom 25%, which have 0.1% of their income from investments).

Given this reality, it's easy to see how poor people spend the vast majority of their money on consumption, while the rich spend far less. If the tax is based on consumption then it's inevitbale that it will be disproportionate.

we've already reduced "fish populations to levels where seafoods is taken of of humanity's menu."....or at least damn near close :( Over fishing is a HUGE HUGE problem, that few people recognize :9

It's amazing how few people realize that mass transit was literally destroyed by the automobile industry. I lived in a town (Fresno, CA) that had a rail line down what is one of the most major streets, and it was ripped out so as not to compete with cars. To this day no other mass transit rail line has been built.

The complexity that you just described is precisely the reason why they shouldn't have been drilling in these depths to begin with. Might not have been such a problem had they figured out these contingencies BEFOREHAND :(

never mind that it already makes Obama look retarded for opening up off-shore drilling only to have this disaster happen right afterwords!

and it takes extra time to do things when they've never been done before.

The catch to nearly everything they've tried is "Well, we've used this technique before, just never at 5000ft depth".... These clowns were so corrupted by greed that they pushed the absolute limits of their machinery and know how and this is the result.

The sad part is that BP was at fault for the Valdeze oil spill cleanup failure as well :(

No, it's not a problem. It's a benefit for those that want a closely monitored experience.
The reason apple prevents 3rd party apps is the same reason that Disney Land wouldn't let you in (probably) if you were Spiderman. PLENTY of people WANT Apple to inspect all the software on the App store to ensure a consistent minimum level of quality....aka standards.

The people that can judge for themselves jailbreak their phones.

Guess what? YOU CAN!!!!!

The only thing that Apple prevents you from doing is distributing apps through their content delivery network. Don't like Apple's restrictions? Jailbreak your phone and do nearly anything with it!!
