Comment To be able to have two windows side by side (Score 2, Informative) 763

Most of the time I use my laptop with a 1024x768 resolution screen, and that's just enough to fit two 80 character wide emacs windows next to each other. I usually have several source files or different sections of the same file open next to each other, and I would not give that up in favor of longer lines. And that's with IMO the smallest readable font, 6x13 a.k.a `fixed'. There are laptops with bigger screens, but they are bigger and havier than my Thinkpad X60.

FDA Considers Redefining Chocolate 939

shewfig writes "The US Food and Drug Administration is considering redefining 'chocolate' to allow substitution of vegetable oil ($0.70/lb.) for cocoa butter ($2.30/lb.), and whey protein for dry whole milk. There are already standard terms to differentiate these products from chocolate, such as 'chocolatey' and 'chocolate-flavored.' The change was requested by the industry group Chocolate Manufacturers of America. Leading the resistance to this change is high-end chocolate maker Guittard, with significant grass-roots support from the Candyblog. The FDA is taking consumer comments until April 25. Here is the FDA page on the proposed change, which oddly enough does not say what the proposed change is."
