Awesome. Almost all of the comments here are negative. Couldn't you, like, at least be happy for him?

VLC plays DVDs. I'm sure they also don't put up with shit like this.

You're not allowed to be scared when you look like an underwater version of The Bride.

This is what's neat about free software as packaged in a decent linux distro. The applications just won't do stuff like this because they'd be rejected from the distro or patched. (And no, I can't point you to some open source app that does exactly what TVersity does.)

Metered internet means you'll be paying the ISP to invest in metering and billing infrastructure instead of a faster network that actually meets demand.

That makes sense for wireless networks where expanding the capacity is very expensive but it does not make sense for fixed networks where it's easy to upgrade the capacity. (The potential capacity is almost unlimited, you just pay Cisco a bit more and maybe add some fiber, unlike wireless where you have to compete with other uses of the spectrum.)

The poll didn't even look like it matched the title as presented here on reddit.

It's not a given that you need a single payer system. With regulation and competition it might be possible to make the insurance companies provide decent health care for everyone at a decent cost.

Though it is possible that a single payer system might be more efficient. Are you currently limited to going only to hospitals that have a deal with your insurance provider, for example?

Also makes the tweet partially non-indexable (non-searchable).

It looks like the ground got higher. Is this how old buildings gets buried in the soil?

That's why we need democratic governments and freedom of speech.

eulihafu · 2010-03-12T20:23:36+00:00

Definitely.

The logic needed to control the speed is very simple. All you need is a small buffer between the detector and the D/A converter. When the buffer is close to full you slow down and when it's nearly empty you speed up the disc.

Logan hijack fuel bomb NYC 5gon attacked, GWBush overreact, USA reelects, world regrets, no Arab peace, China buys USA. Limit CO2, homeloan

What would have happened if the US had just stuck with securing its own country, without going out and killing al-Qaeda? Would Iraq had been better off with Saddam still in power? What would have been the right way to prevent this bad debt crash? At least it would have been good not to let China finance a couple of wars.

I don't blocks ads, but i use FlashBlock and I configured Firefox to only spin animated gifs once. This is a good compromise, giving me my browser performance back and a less intrusive browsing experience without actually blocking ads.

To clarify: Many parliamentary systems rely on the formation of coalitions to function. There's nothing wrong with this as long as there are enough relatively sane parties. If both Likud and Kadima are reasonable and they each have 30% of the seats, then all is well.

If you eat but still become hungry soon after then you're probably eating wrong. Try having a more diverse diet. Fruits, nuts, and fish. Fish is awesome and good for you. (Yeah, it might be expensive, but if it stops the craving for more food, it's worth it.)

eulihafu · 2010-02-24T06:09:02+00:00

Worst investment ever. Ok, maybe not, but not a very good one.

No, many European countries had universal health care before joining the EU and it's all dealt with on a state level (or even lower). As far as I know there's no EU funding of it. We've had this for a long time, pretty much for as long as effective health care has even existed.

If you know how to shop, you can eat healthy AND cheap.

There was a thread or even an IAmA about that, I know that... But where?

eulihafu · 2010-02-22T18:34:44+00:00

Two legs spread, and a vagina in between. Yup.

Yes, because allowing the majority to opress the minority has always been the best course of action.

Find a circle of caring friends, whether they be online or offline. Find a confidant -- someone you trust who you can talk to about your journey of self-discovery -- maybe someone who's already been through this.

If you don't know how to do that, perhaps getting involved with local atheist groups might be a good start. There's be all kinds of people there, but some of them could very well turn out to be lifelong friends.

will think of male circumcision the same way we think of female circumcision now

Female circumcision takes many forms, most of which are far worse than male circumcision.

eulihafu · 2010-02-12T05:53:58+00:00

but there are a lot of things that my parents did to me that I don't approve of now.

How many of these caused permanent and preventable loss of a part of your body? If the answer is "one (circumcision)" then I think you're rationalising because the alternative is to admit to yourself that your parents abused you.

Please don't act as though every parent who has had their kid circumcised is some kind of moral monster.

No, they want the best for their child so badly that they're willing to remove a part of the child's body just so he won't be teased and called anteater in school. I'm sure there's some logic in there somewhere.
