Maybe the OS can put a cork on the end of my fork so I don't accidentally stab myself while I'm eating. I'm just kidding, it's a superficial annoyance. I should have the option though, and what's the purpose of a "recycle bin" if not for fe

A sane OS would let me delete a file with the delete key(!).

Like Jonathan Coulton? http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/05/14/136279162/an-inter... I'd argue the opportunities for digital distribution far outweigh the risky and extremely limited opportunities of traditional physical media. The sma

Agreed, shorter time spans are the way to go: I'd propose an even quicker expiration if the patent is sold/transferred, to curtail hoarding.

It always grates on my nerves when someone that young, seventeen, is referred to as a "man". I suppose teenagers enjoy more freedom in Europe, maybe it's more appropriate there.

Hammerfight is an excellent game, very fun and beautifully rendered. I hope they make a sequel.

The headline is ineffective. The problem, as the article implies, is that those monopolies are transferable and hoarded.

Let me clarify: Inefficient conversion of dietary ALA to DHA is neither correlated nor causative to anything. My point is that ALA provides adequate, not elevated levels of DHA, and there's no evidence to the contrary. Now let's examine th

ALA is adequately converted to DHA, you didn't read the article you linked. Studies on rats are far from conclusive... but then why claim it's a human-health fact? "While there is discrepancy in ALA conversion rates in rats, these studies

Is this a comparison of wrote memorization vs. pragmatic knowledge? The tech world has seen so much change and new language in the last couple decades it's not surprising function description is more useful than names. Reminds me of this:

Disk space is incredibly cheap. Are you seriously discouting quality on downloading vs. streaming? Quality is the entire reason behind local media. ISP's simply don't provide consistent service for all customers. Streaming is not an opt

Indeed, the whole point of these industry deals with each ISP is to circumvent the legal system. Ungrounded claims of theft and massive losses can't face the light of legal evidence requirements.

It's amazing this wonderful FREE software has evolved the web so much. Open standards build the web. Free tools create a vivid creative environment.

I happen to believe half-formed theories about evolution justify expulsion from social benefits like healthcare. This intellectual weakness desperately needs to be purged, to allow the superior ideology of compassion to thrive.

Universal, socialized healthcare is here now, in the US. It exists fully and completely. The middle class ignores free clinics and medicare facilities unless they become destitute or desperate. The infrastructure is here, now. This overt
