I don't know why you're being downvoted so savagely. You've just set the bar high. I do disagree with you, though. The internet and its potential still amazes me...

It could also be a result of habit through upbringing. Or cultural pressure. Or perhaps a faulty sense of reasoning. As a hobbiest philosopher you should know the dangers of sticking to one line of reasoning slavishly.

A sense of empathy with my friend's suffering would compel me to visit them. It's not part of a quid pro quo transaction.

His peers probably think the same thing of him. It's rare to come across someone like that, but unfortunately they are sometimes around.

I welcome opposing opinions but this itself doesn't present both sides of the argument, nor any context to the one example given, and sounds to me purely like a bashing exercise.

Okay, so the first part of this is nitpicking the obviously impossible task of summarising the history of the world (perhaps it was Khan's intention to simply get students interested in the subjects so that they could study them further), a

This is the difference between saying "the US geneticist's father was a decorated pilot" and " the US geneticist claims his father was a decorated pilot". The latter would be acceptable in Wikipedia, wouldn't it?

From speaking to someone on the board of a major UK uni, the funding provided is something like 11k, if I recall correctly. He added that if the uni opts for the 9k fees then the overall funding provided by the government in advance would j

Just like any luxury good, they'll restrict the supply while keeping the price high. Simply because many people don't even consider Prada shoes as an option hasn't made them any cheaper.

I've resisted the paleo diet as a fad, but reading what you've written has made me realise it's what I've taken up instinctively as something based on what I feel are the healthier aspects of the Mediterranean diet I grew up with. I don't e

I think it's more to do with our idea of a balanced diet being out of kilter. I've met plenty of people who are now replacing carbs with meat, which to me doesn't feel like the right way to go about things. One day perhaps we'll realise for

They have begun taking on Oracle and SAP after buying Navision and turning it into Microsoft Dynamics. From what I've seen, it's a very strong product and I'm expecting it to do well. EDIT: Link here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamic

She might not take it well. You might then say he's better off without that kind of friendship, but that's not the outcome he wanted.

And a lot of people would rather consume porn rather than those burgers. It's all subjective and down to personal taste. He makes a good point about not being downvoted simply for the market he's chosen.

If the accused is afraid of unfair treatment, like Julian Assange after the treatment of Bradley Manning, then it would be reasonable for them to want to stay away from that country until they received certain assurances or have the charges

What? He's insulted someone for having differing political views in a democracy. He sounds like a moron and the majority of people I know on every side of the political spectrum would agree.

I can't tell if you're trolling or not, but I believe the suggestion of having kids wasn't intended to be taken seriously.

As someone with a PhD, to me it's nothing more than a few years of vocational training for academia. It shouldn't really be a badge of honour.

I don't know for sure but I suspect that people in the UK paid more attention to total personal wealth including property asset values, which were rising at a pretty ridiculous rate. To put this into perspective with an anecdote, I know a f

Agreed, the idea is great. Perhaps another focus would be on people who want to take a career break to go travelling and need help. I've known a fair few people who've done this and then gone back to their job. They get a taste for adventur

I didn't say it had anything to do with technology exclusively. But there's a relatively new medium in which people experience narrative and action scenes. It doesn't take a great stretch of the imagination to believe that current or new mo

It's been my theory that now we have movies that are more inspired by computer games and other movies than real life. This is subtly manifesting itself in a bizarre circular feedback loop.

So 'simplistic' is right? Would 'simplified' be incorrect here? EDIT: A spot of googling shows that 'simple' is generally held to be the correct word in this context. I guess 'simplified' implies they've taken something complicated and made

Milo and Kate aside, I would say that Kinect has leapfrogged its competition, though in the same breath I would also say I am aggrieved by the Courier project fiasco.
