zevyoura, you actually did a great job of summarizing my positions (especially for someone I assume does not fully share them). This is just such an unnecessary combination of something I happen to love and something I happen to hate.

I'm sure the animal doesn't care about specifically being a prize. I'm sure he/she cares about the care that follows being treated as an object.

There is also a long history of parents arranging those marriages - doesn't make any of it a good idea.

Really unhappy to see animals being given away as "prizes".

Yea that phrase also caught me off guard and had me wondering what year this was.

Well animals in a coma all of their lives will clearly not being killing each other. You're right about profits though which of course is the driving force behind all of this. There's also human safety to consider. Painless, larger animals

You think factory farms are disturbing now? Just wait until animals cannot feel pain. I'm envisioning far more fights to the death for starters.

I understand the interest in a novel kind of engineering, and this seems to be more of a thought exercise than anything else. I also understand that not everyone shares my views on animals, but this is such an awful exercise. This absurd me

Care to help me out? I'm not seeing it.

That's not really how that phrase is used. Deus ex machina != act of god.

Agreed, but like bmelton it took me longer than usual to figure out it was interactive. The little "try it" could definitely have been more obvious.

I'm on the same version for windows and getting diddly.

It's not working for me on Chrome or IE and just barely almost working on my android.

I'm really excited by this. I've always thought of gaming as one of the things really holding linux back from taking a more reasonable market share on the desktop (I said one of). Even people who prefer linux are forced to dual-boot or use

What will replace it? Hopefully better journalism...

I wish I had enough karma to downvote this useless comment. At least have the decency to tell us why you think this is so awful. I for one love seeing things like this on HN. One of my favorite things about this site is it's not just news.

I've been using Rubular for years and it's really a great tool for trying to quickly figure out where you went wrong in a complicated regex.

He/she is probably referring to paid work that involves regular expressions.

Actually merchants are specifically prohibited from asking for ID when a card is signed. That's under the merchant agreement they have with Visa and Mastercard.

To some extent, yes of course. But I think one consequence of this kind of easy to access information is the term has become much less pejorative.

Yes, but this is the internet where words take on nuanced meanings. Back when I was visiting colleges (pre-FB), there was a school that had a social network that was very similar to the early Facebook. Looking for possible dates on there wa

Great point. Of course Facebook is dying, though probably not in the way the author intended. Since I signed up in my college days, I've seen way more negatives added than positives and the last two years has been largely downhill. Most of

Was anyone else disappointed to see no favicon for this site?

Aw I was hoping for some intricate CSS version of the backs of the cards.

They should be satisfied if it comes at no harm to others and the alternative is harming others. Isn't that kind of a no-brainer?

How is someone to know how problematic the database is without looking at it first? His criticism would be much less warranted if he'd never look at the registry.

Really? There's a correlation between viewing child porn and molesting a child? Could that be any more obvious? There's probably an excellent correlation between viewing porn involve heterosexual adults and people who engage in heterosexual

I almost commented about this... but then I realize I had no evidence whatsoever for any of those claims. Do you? http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/snuff.asp
