Fun fact: DirecTV HD DVR's contain GPL code. (Maybe Linux, but I can't remember, really.) It was amusing coming across the phrase "Ty Coon, President of Vice" in my parent's printe…

Try going with whole chicken and separating the pieces yourself. You can even throw it into a slow cooker completely frozen if you're lazy. The downside is the time it takes to do …

The BBC Horizons documentary I mentioned above also looked into mussels as a source of meat. I don't recall pollution being mentioned as an issue, but it gave other reasons why eve…

I'm not going to rewatch it, but the facility they visited used uncaged chickens housed in a barn. If you're making a point about the ethics of it, note that even the concepts of "…

I don't know what a sanitizing chicken is, and apparently neither does Google. I assume from context it means chickens bred to lay eggs?

A BBC Horizons documentary with subtitle "How to Feed the Planet" (popsci--I'm aware) was posted to reddit a few months ago. The conclusion, IIRC, suggested that even the best hack…

What are the numbers on the chart in the linked page supposed to mean? Average meat consumption per capita per year, organized by country? And the bigger question: how do this kind…

I've noticed the Moto G can typically go 36-48 hours (or more?) without a charge (depending on how light your use is). Sometimes I come in and crash without putting it on the charg…

What happens if you quote a large figure and they take you up on it, despite the fact that you never intended to honor the offer? Congratulations, now you're a jerk. When I wrote i…

Weird use of quotes here, considering I used the word "deserve" nowhere. But on that note, I think every person does deserve to be not automatically lied to because of cynicism. Se…

Let's assume that this is a valid characterization of things. Now, we could try flipping one or more of those bits. Surely the soundness of this argument guarantees that the result…

The only way to attempt to invalidate nfoz's words there in the way that you want to results in begging the question. I disagree that nfoz's suggestion is a good one. (See tptacek'…

And the optimal way to do it? Just quote the actual figure that it would cost them for you to agree to it.

> The end is the same result (no feature) but with a bit more comfort for both parties. I don't think this is true. Same result? Agreed. More comfortable for the developer? Okay, s…

Have you done this? If so, what JRE are you using for Minecraft? I know that trying to run Android Studio with the OpenJDK JRE on hardware with a similar clock speed, is pret-ty sl…

Not to mention that "first-world country where ubiquitous internet access via wifi hotspots has been implemented" doesn't particularly describe, say, the US very well. The picture …

This is not a particularly insightful comment. The implicit context for the comment you're replying to, made explicit, is clearly "Consumers have spoken, they do not care [about wh…

I don't know if maybe the page relies on JS being enabled to load some content and you have JS disabled or not, but there is significant discussion of LLVM on that page. > So why d…

Utterly unreliable for determining the age of an article.

I don't know what you're advocating for here. The ability to reverse engineer is explicitly required by the LGPL, and the GPL necessarily requires a minimum standard that covers th…
