I seem to remember the impetus for this stupid technology was that a Mozilla researcher was about to make available some technology that either blocked tracking cookies or made them relatively anonymous, but then Google and others stepped in and stopped it, and came up with this easily ignorable solution instead. Has anyone else heard of this or am I making it up?
Interesting, but I am pretty sure DNT was Mozilla's Idea.
Hmm... From Mozilla Foundation:
The Mozilla Foundation was founded by the Netscape-affiliated Mozilla Organization, and is funded almost exclusively by Google Inc.

Well.. TFS did ask for:
...maybe something that actually leads to knowledge, skills, or a measurable output?
This migration I'm doing has sat on 'less than a minute' for over 30 minutes.
Are you or your system in close proximity to a black hole?
I tried #blowjobs and nothing happened.
Perhaps there's a problem with the Shipping and Handling - well the Shipping anyway.
I've heard those points you make and believe they're probably correct. The main problem with fructose is that it is *only* metabolized in the liver, whereas glucose can be metabolized by every cell in the body. Furthermore, fructose is metabolized very much like alcohol, but also raises bad cholesterol and does some other nasty things. The video has a very detailed and informative explanation of how glucose, fructose and alcohol are metabolized. Increased fiber helps mitigate the bad effects.
While it's long and very detailed in places, I can't recommend the video highly enough. Definitely made me (almost) completely eliminate my soda consumption - one a day two years ago, to one every couple of weeks (or fewer) now. I experimented last year and only had about five sodas the entire year.
Because she spent her entire life saying people who accepted help from the government (or anyone) were parasites.
In the end, Ayn Rand because the kind of parasite she spent her life waging jihad against. Yet she never apologized or admitted she was wrong. She simply sponged up those Big Gubment welfare checks.
You'll probably enjoy this 2010 article The Truth About the Tea Party - commonly referred to as "Tea and Crackers" that interviews (mainly) old, white people railing against government hand-outs from their Medicare paid-for electric wheelchairs.
Yep.
Lemme guess, 2nd or 3rd ingredient listed on the label is gonna be HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup)??
Ah...nothing like a little boost to the old obesity rate.
Yup. Watch this presentation Sugar: The Bitter Truth (or on the UCSF site http://www.uctv.tv/shows/Sugar-The-Bitter-Truth-16717) by Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology.
It's over an hour long and he explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin. Fructose gets metabolized in the liver like alcohol, but with some nasty hormonal and cholesterol-raising side-effects.
Thank you for sharing this. So many people around me are adamant that happiness in life is impossible without having a child. Perhaps they are so set on it to justify in their minds the decision they made.
You're welcome. I've heard many opinions over the years. My wife and I were an unusual couple. We met in 1985 when I was 22 and she was 41 (and twice divorced). She never could get pregnant, and certainly not when I met her, and I promised her that I was fine with that. When people asked if we had children, I usually started with a simple "no", but people would then ask "when would we", to which I would reply that we couldn't and that it was okay - really okay - then many, many people would immediately responded that we could adopt - yada, yada, yada - sigh.
My only regret was that we didn't get more time together. Sure 20 years seems like a long time, but not with the right person. The day before Thanksgiving 2005 she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and died seven weeks later in Jan 2006 - just like that, or so it seemed.
Obligatory: Family Decals
My wife and I couldn't and didn't have children, so we were the couple on the right. She died in Jan 2006, after 20.5 years together, so now I'm alone, but I don't regret one second of our life together - just the two of us. We kissed, hugged and said "I love you" every day, held hands wherever we went and did almost everything together. She even died in my arms. I still wear my wedding ring every day.
And atheists are different? Big bang was the atheist answer to God for nearly a century. Now it's the expanding vacuum. Those theories don't answer the question of "is there a creator?" any better than a theology.
You're asking the wrong question. The correct question is not "is there a creator?" but, "where does the evidence lead?"
So far, the evidence doesn't lead to a creator (i.e., a god).
A more apt question would be "Does the creation/existence of the Universe and Life require God?"
There is, as yet, no definitive proof either way. Personally, I believe God is *not* required, but others believe something else. Either way, belief doesn't make it true and that's where the arguments usually start.
In reality, there will probably be a way to "unlock" a used game, by paying a fee through xBox live or whatever.
Sure - original M$RP.
