There was a study I read about where a large group of people where divided into 2 equal groups. The non-control group was had their body temperature lowered. The study showed those with a lowered body temperature got sick more frequently.

The only thing, as an Android user, I drool over is the ability of iCloud users to have their music "uploaded" for free (without transferring any data). I signed up for the Google Music beta, and 20 minutes later deleted my account. Why?

> And if we don't want people to invent smart phones, cures for cancer and televisions, we should eliminate patents. I reject this. Software, which is a component of all of the things you mention, didn't always have patents, and it flo

Underpaid? Really? I don't have a reference, but I saw an article a couple of years ago that with overtime it was common for Oakland officers to make more than $100k.

Anyone know if it is just Safari that allows infection? What about Chrome?

"Even disabled in-app purchases still leaves you open to litigation." I can't believe no one has commented on this. How is this possibly true? Not using a patent can open one up to a litigation on a patent?? This statement makes no sense

"Why would the government want to break Chrome?" So they could run arbitrary payloads targeted at specific people.

I've written todo lists backwards on the sliding glass doors, on the steamed up glass doors, so I could write them down when I get out of the shower. That particular day, I had like 5 ideas I really didn't want to forget, and this was the

"... and would make them more vulnerable to security threats." This claim has nothing behind it. Is it just FUD? If not, what's the argument?

What if there are no files in the drop down? Where are the files located?

I disagree with this point. Those knock-offs are representing themselves as the original, using their trademarks. A very different thing.

I recently emailed Amazon customer service and complained about this very thing. A couple of days ago I bought dead tree versions of books that were 20% more for the kindle. I will not buy a kindle version of a book that is more than the

We use gerrit at my company, and what you say is true. Developers are told to do one feature or bug fix per commit/gerrit change. It really does help with the review process and things move much faster.

And for most of us, the reason we rip are: the unskippable content on DVDs and ease of use. So far, netflix watch instantly satisfies both of those, so I can see not needing to rip DVD at some point in the future, except for DVD's I buy (I

I really love this guy's writing. He cuts through the layers of BS so well and exposes something closer to root causes better than anyone I've ever seen.

First, I had to watch an annoying commercial. Then, there was an ad overlay to the video that obscured part of the video. Goddamn that's annoying, so I didn't watch.

I am a very casual user of AWS and have been told many times that AWS couldn't start an image of the type I requested in the zone I requested it. That's the problem with using EBS-backed images, you can only start them in specific zones.

I moved around a lot as a kid, so I was the convenient target, too. My 10 yr old is in martial arts and has a green-brown belt. He absolutely loves it. I've told him to only use it as a last resort, but to use it. I recall being bullied

The older I get, the more I think humans really have little common sense. It's clearly not necessary for the modern world we live in, because it is used so seldom. You've constructed reasons not to vote, but you've left out the most import

http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/22685.html shows it to not be #2 but close to the top. And I think the point is still valid that CA could balance their budget if we had that nice ratio.

In fact, in CA not understanding a proposition is grounds for voting "No", because a No vote keeps the status quo. If the people framing the debate haven't done a good enough job, then they deserve the No vote.

The door knob example is terrible. How about this: an office that is either too hot or cold? Would that qualify as a bug? I think it does, and it happens all the time in new buildings.
