The irony of this complete garble of a comment trying to convince people that we are always reasonable is quite amazing. Have you done that on purpose? Anyway, in the off chance you aren't intending to do an awesome display of irony: -

You are ascribing your own situation to the problem and pretending it is the same. Everyone thinks they are completely reasonable, but the fact is our brain convinces us we are even when we are not. Unless you've actually been someone

Sexuality is a choice, but isn't always, I can choose different forms of it, are you denying that choice? Are you saying because some people can't choose others are not allowed to? By your definition of "Normal" Black pe

So are you making a value judgement or an empirical judgement? How many people would have to commit suicide (per capita) for it to be considered "normal"? Does the same measure apply to other "fringe" choices in life, Al

But what outcome are you aiming for with your comment? The prosecutor does share some responsibility, as does Aaron, as does MIT, as does JSTOR, as does the general judicial system and environment that allowed this to happen. Doing a drive

torrents feel like they should be part of the browser. It seems odd we rely on ISPs to do local level caching, when we could actually do a lot of it ourselves. (Think how many streams of the world cup are floating around on the internet ri

What is the suicide rate for people facing felony prosecution? What is their typical socio-economic status? Is that a factor? My bet is, you don't know the answer to either of those questions, so the "obviously" in your state

Adobe have picked up the pace massively since CC. I'd call it the opposite of complacency. I work heavily in most of their products (the entire Adobe suite), and the amount of features they are releasing and the speed at which they ar

Quark wasn't subscription and it fell down the "Who cares about OS X anyway" hole. Adobe saw that, and smashed indesign onto the market.

Well yes you'll always have the Additive vs subtractive colour problem. But I don't understand how RGB has problems reproducing colours... webpages seem to do fine, and that's all they do?

How do you do distributed processing without a distributed filesystem? Do you mean you'd load the filesystem into memory and send it to the "processors"?

Actually RGB is better for professional printing. Printers typically have specific colour profiles for their printers and converting your CMYK profile to their CMYK profile will usually result in differences you weren't expecting. RGB

Because we all agree that we hate republicans... I mean egypt? It's political, but it's not US politics, so it seems to pass the 'not political' HN test. Odd, but seems true from my experience.

It's ketosis that causes the weight loss (Liver producing ketons that break down fat cells). And it's been around for a while (i.e since Atkins days). When you cut out processed foods, and grains, you are left only with pretty mu

Well, if artificial sweeteners caused a reduced (or zero) insulin response (which science says they do), and thus lowered the risk of obesity, then a (tenuous, though real) causal link can be made between saving lives, and artificial sweete

The reason you can't point to any large scale studies is because all of them found aspartame to be harmless, not induce an insulin response, etc (i.e the complete opposite of your theory). Diet coke hates are in the same category as an
