If you wanted to prove someone has talent, you would point to them pushing out noteworthy things on a consistent basis. Sure, someone can be very talented but have only a single thing to their name, but it's just as…
That wasn't a blog post. It was an About page for a product. It's essentially the product's description.

Wouldn't Tramadol be classified as a psychotropic just by virtue of it inhibiting your central nervous system? As someone who takes Tramadol for pain, it does have an odd effect when I'm tired: I find I become less…
I'm not sure if you're joking, but opiates are grown from opium poppy plants, so that would be a good place to start if you actually wanted an abundance to feed to animals. Tramadol, however, is an opioid, which is a…

That's unfair to the beanie baby industry. They were actually producing something.

That would be a good analogy if we couldn't transfer money online. But, you know, we can. The whole point of Bitcoin that's been touted in pretty much every thread, hoisted up by Libertarians like a giant flag, is that…
Yes, all six of the people who use the Windows Store.
That really does nothing to disprove my point that people who can't afford movies (either purchasing, or importing, or renting in iTunes) are also extremely unlikely to be able to afford broadband internet and a modern…
If a $20 DVD isn't affordable, $20/mo internet isn't. (I'm also fairly skeptical that your average DVD movie is $20, as though that's the absolute lowest you'll ever pay.) Movies aren't a God-given right, so it's not…
Yes, it is important, which is why affluent first worlders shouldn't hold them up as poster children for their pet cause of not wanting to purchase things.
Because people want to see them. People (as in the general public) really don't care about yet-another Snowden interview, so news outlets aren't going to shell out the big bucks.
It's far more likely they're not running it because no one cares. Seriously, the general public really doesn't care. Why would they report on something that's going to make their viewers change the channel?
I'm not trolling. I responded to the person sticking up for others and let them know they aren't alone. You should stop claiming anyone who disagrees with you is a troll, Chris; it really doesn't make you look too good.…

"Credibility"? It's an argument. You either agree with it or you don't. That was most certainly an ad hominem. It was an attempt to counter a point by attacking the messenger, not the argument. Textbook, really.

Surprising you scrolled right passed the guy calling someone a "pussy whipped mofo" to tell me that saying he's a jackass is trolling. Says something about your priorities, chrismonsanto.
Good on your for sticking up to these jackasses. I've long since given up arguing it here, but it makes me so happy to see folks like you and others in this thread shouting these idiots down.

It's like you read the article or something.
The patent isn't for "predictive shipping." It's for Amazon's specific implementation of "predictive shipping." You can't just boil a patent down to two words and then claim prior art.
