What's wrong with using butterflies?

Sure, I get that. But diabetes and Alzheimer’s are actually related: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/25/bittman-is-a...

That's only a fraction of the costs involved. For one, today’s diabetes patients are tomorrows alzheimer patients.

Even if it doesn't, there's a lot more profit in advertising than insulin. The economy would probably function better if diabetes patients were left untreated and die, since the co…

Because nobody cares about your diabetes and obesity. Lay down that taco and get some fricken exercise, FFS.

I wasn't even suggesting guns should be banned everywhere (although they should), let alone cameras. Open access doesn't mitigate the problem, it'd merely replaces one problem with…

which is probably more competitive to the reduced feature set of smartphone-based devices such as android and iOS Walled-garden says no. That and the fact that you can bootstrap an…

That's like saying "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." even though death by speeding bullet is more prevalent where guns are legal. Guns and cameras should be used only w…

Let me put on my tin foil hat.

This reeks of extortion. Let's sell the rejects to the customers without a support contract. That'll teach 'em.

Postgres is developing a lot quicker then Firebird. Also, management and replication solutions for Postgres are far more advanced. But what matters most (for me) is documentation. …

But it requires Mac OS X, so I'd rather leave my rectum intact and use haxx.ly.

Actually it was Red Alert 1 with altered graphics and just a single new feature: technology overview screens. The graphics for the G.I.'s were exactly the same as in RA1.

I'm not listening.

First you use SOAP and it's nice, but after a while it's not good enough and you implement WSDL. Corporate overlords see it and suddenly everything has to be WS-YouNameIt (especial…

I think I'd hate that, eye movement affects the pov so you wouldn't be able to use a context menu effectively for instance.

Thanks! They should disable the flyout completion for now, though. It causes the input box to lose focus, can't type a command with that.

How long should it take?

You should consider switching to a better host. There is no excuse for this: wget -4 output: http://scrp.at/bAD wget -6 output: http://scrp.at/bAE As an IPv6 advocate on the side, …

Seems like the article vanished: This is the standard TransIP page for reserved domain names. No website has been published for this domain. Are you still seeing this after publish…

Yes, this was already discussed and it's still on the front page: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4253427 Don't litter HN with your blogspam.

GNU is Not Unix

There's a bug in this, on 2 adjacent sides you can walk one block further then you can create. The world isn't as big as it looks so this is easy to test.

The reason why SL doesn't grow is because of all those furries ruining the place for everyone else. I never knew what yiffing was until I went on SL. Had they placed a few curbs on…

You could do without using a CTE, it's just not as convenient most of the time. Alternatively, you could pass the column names to a function (using a prepared statement, no less) a…
