RCN, on the other hand, simply raised my rate without even apologizing. They pretended to give me a promotion of "increased speed" and then the promotion "expired" and my rate went up. And oops, the old speed and old…
The author seems to have forgotten that birth control is (mostly) a modern invention.
I never said it was the worst. I just said there are others that are better. Please.
How much money do you think a few generations' of slavery is worth? I don't know. How many years of race based discrimination is it worth? Would you like to suggest one? As many others in this thread have suggested:…
Yes, they will all be flawed, but not all of them will be as flawed as skin color. Just because something is hard, doesn't mean it's OK to do something easy and bad.
If the US government wants to atone for its immoral actions in the past it should pay reparations not institute a system of race based discrimination. If, on the other hand, the US government wants to help disadvantaged…
You must justify it because you are advocating for race based discrimination. We have already proposed an alternative: economics based discrimination. It is better because it captures the group of people that deserve…
There does not seem to be any indication to the user of what they're supposed to do to get the next slide, or even that there is a next slide. EDIT: Well, OK, now that I maximized there is. But there was no indication…
Knowing the languages only by reputation, you could try D which is more community oriented. I kind of wish it had a backer like Google, because I like it's name better and I heard of it before Go :-) I also hate…

There is nothing legal about downloading pirated content (in the US), but the penalties for uploading (distributing) are much higher, which is why those are the people that get sued.
The title is stupid, and titles matter. PayPal is PayPal not because you can send money based on email addresses but because it was the company that figured out how to do it in a way and at a time that won the market.…
Didn't this already make the aggregator rounds a few months ago when it first came out?
Paypal? Or a toy example kind of like Paypal?
Sigh. Yes, we know. Hollywood Accounting.
I used to value Ars because they had actual writers, editors, and original content. This new trend they have of being another content aggregator is disappointing.
There's nothing in this article that isn't said better elsewhere. I'd recommend the (free, online) Mindfulness in Plain English: http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe.html (also available as a "real" book).
It may be what you consider the "acceptable definition" of fruit juice, but it is not the definition in common use. Also, you are not evolutionarily adapted to eat compounds. You are evolutionarily adapted to eat foods.…
We consumers might not like what they do, but I'm sure they know how to maximize profits. Why give shows away for free or a pittance, when people who care are willing to pay dollars per episode? I'm sure they're happy…
Striving, yes. Rather than shoehorning, which is what Linus appears to oppose.
LOL, the URL is: http://prog21.dadgum.com/29.html?repost That might explain why it's so familiar.
So comment threads on HN are now private discussions one has to be invited to? Like the original commenter I am also tired of the celebrity worship that goes on here (and pretty much everywhere else). Yes, the man died.…
