If you think fructose is bad, stop eating fruit, cuz it's the sugar you'll find therein. You could just as well call it "fruit sugar" as "corn sugar" -- both are correct.

The ratio of fructose to glucose in the fruit as well as the fiber content determine how much of the sugar is absorbed. -- http://www.askdrsears.com/html/4/t042600.asp

To the best of my knowledge there are no sodas that contain fiber. There are also very few that contain any vitamins, which fruit has plenty of. Eating foods with HFCS in their current form is absolutely nothing like eating fruit or corn. For one corn and fruit both have fiber and vitamins. It is not in the interest of consumers to mislead people into thinking that HFCS is good for you by changing its name. It is already quite appropriately named.

People give tyrants power. If people did not submit to the authority of tyrants they would have no power. I believe the percentage of sociopaths in the world is around 1%. I don't think one percent of the population is a match for the other 99%. I'm not claiming that I know how to resolve these terrible conflicts peacefully. But, believing that there is no possibility of peaceful resolution is counter-productive. You are also wrong about Milosevic. He was peacefully removed from power. Or at least removed from power without war. So i guess some evil can be stopped without war.

Milosevic

And here is the student group credited with removing milosevic from power

Otpor

i believe in Fahrenheit 451 everyone was assigned a whole book. So it was more like napster than bit-torrent.

and The Devils Advocate

me too! The worst part is that he was campaigning and didn't even have to go back to DC for the vote.

No hats? Thats BS. Silly Hats ONLY!

How is this modded insightful?

Your whole comment is a Straw Man
Lame.

This is, by far, the funniest comment i have ever read on slashdot.

IANANB but there is a big difference between a compass/gps and what the article is about. The biggest difference is that you don't get to control the ankle prosthetic. The brain is forced to process this stimuli every time you face north. The gps on the other hand can easily be ignored. The brain is very good at rewiring itself and from the layman's neurobiology I have read there is very little difference between the senses at the level of neuron(except smell, i think). Therefore, the brain should have no problem interpreting novel recurring signals as a new sense. Also, read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia

And cochlear implants are just electric shocks in your ear. Are you saying that people with cochlear implants cant hear?

Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Woman on plane: Which car company do you work for?
Narrator: A major one.

That is a sweet synopsis of an social psych 101. Kudos.
