My point is, while there are plenty of vitamin scammers out there, there are just as many "mainstream" medical scammers, if not more... as there are many vitamins and herbs which are incredibly beneficial... Case in point, my uncle was an MD for over 20 years when he got "terminal" cancer...

So... kinda like the medical industry which exists mainly to "treat" you with more drugs... that in turn make you sicker and need more drugs... solely for the profit margins of the pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, and doctors who will need to do more and more procedures as they...

Or we could all just stop consuming so much milk and do away with a shit ton of health problems and associated health care costs.... *shrug*

You're lucky... The screens are tougher than they used to be all around (and ones made by Samsung like many iPhone screens are damn pretty) but it seems kinda random sometimes... Know someone who just dropped their new iPhone 6 onto a rug over hardwood floor from a coffee table and it...

Yeah, Apple has good marketing, I'll give them that... but their build quality is very lacking. Pretty and simplistic is their design philosophy.,, and they charge a lot for their out of date hardware because of it. And I'm not entirely anti-mac, as I do have an iMac at home... Granted...

Yeah sorry, repaired phones for a side job for awhile... and iPhones are without a doubt some of the most fragile phones there are. Also most design flaws and pain in the ass to fix, since they are designed not to be. The point is, the S5 was sold as a waterproof phone, and the S6 isn't even...

He's a Bush... and his brother was one of the worst presidents in history, and an unmitigated disaster for both the United States and the entire world... Does any san person need another reason not to vote for this POS?

Have you met kids brought up on the internet? There actually would be riots... take away their phones and net for a few days and youll see. Its scary....

I used to say the same... and that also applied to removable batteries. Sadly, it's getting harder and harder to find removable storage and removable batteries on flagship phones, and I expect them to be gone entirely within a year... it's just more profitable selling fixed storage devices at...

Well considering it's already been demonstrated that giving young children these types of devices can be developmentally damaging (toddlers given tablets instead of physical toys are not developing basic motor skills and spatial recognition like they do with hands on play/learning) and many...

I'll add another story about the density of birds... I was driving through a wooded area when a group of turkeys decided to fly out in front of me. I dodged them all successfully, but the guy coming in the opposing direction did not... He caught one of the smaller turkeys head on, and sent...

People are really going to need to get over their fear of drones. It's only a matter of years until there are hundreds of these things flying all over the place, at all times, and yes, they *will be* monitoring and recording you. It's really no different than it is now though: if you are...

If you think 100k is the end of a vehicle, you must be buying "American." Buy yourself a nice Japanese car or something. Those don't get broken in till they hit 100k... And just FYI, older cars are a *lot* cheaper to maintain than newer models if you know how to do pretty simple mechanical...

Not exactly re branded, just using one of its other designation for comparisons sake now that 4k is taking off. 1280×720 (HD, 720p) 1920×1080 (FHD, Full HD, 2K 1080p) 2560×1440 (QHD, WQHD, Quad HD, 1440p) 3840×2160 (UHD, Ultra HD, 4K, 2160p) 7680×4320 (FUHD, Full Ultra...

Okay... I guess. But I'd say the fact that they went to such lengths to produce a flashy video speaks to a whole lot of tiny dick syndrome going on in those parts.

Corporations do basically print money Corporations do tax you in many different ways (and moreso than government) Corporations do have private security forces that are, often times, above the law And corporations do write the laws that then they pay the politicians to pass for them so...

You do realize we have more people living in poverty, homeless, or in prison than any other first world country, right? The line between corporation and government is far finer than you realize. And just FYI, many corporation make most of their profits by explicitly forcing people to do...

Your error is in assuming that companies ever competed in this fantasized old-fashioned way you speak of... From the time of royals and serfs, to the founding of this country (as a country designed from the top down to be a way for the wealthy elite to control the masses) there has always...

aaand, it's exactly this kind of backwoods yokel mindset that is why this country is in such bad shape. Here's a hint... it's not the big bad gub'ment that you need to be so afraid of... it's the corporations. Although at this point, the corporations have basically bought out the...

Nothing but a ploy to start a lawsuit... for which the appropriate judges and politicians will be paid off so it eventually not only ends in AT&Ts favor, but they get even more things they are asking for. Greedy, evil, bastards all need to DIAF

Pretty big issue for me, as I don't let *anyone* onto my primary networks unless I have full access and control of their device. I have a separate guest WiFi VLAN that is heavily firewalled, proxied, bandwidth limited, and black listed to many sites so people can't easily compromise my...

The oceans acidity levels are rapidly rising, and coral reefs are already dying off. They are an indicator species for the overall health of the ocean, as well as the foundation of many food chains... so it may already be too late to stop massive die offs in the ocean. As fas as modifying...

Well, not humans *yet*... but there have been 5 distinct mass extinction periods in the past, and scientists now claim we are in the 6th, as the background extinction rate for various species has skyrocketed, and seems to be in a rapid downward spiral due to both climate change and humans...

If it occurred slowly and naturally, we'd probably evolve away from procreating... if it's a sudden change occurring from science/technology, good luck getting people to stop fucking and popping out kids before we kill ourselves. Though personally I'd rather live to be 100 with a healthy sex...

Even if "aging" was "cured" tomorrow, 90%+ of the human population would never see that medical breakthrough. Unless you could simultaneously find a way to stop breeding, save for a select few deemed worthy to procreate... we'd all kill each other off within a generation or two as our...

Actually there is a very specific formula... I can't recall all of it, but it takes into account the average amount it takes to feed a human, the amount of waste we produce, the space we need, the total amount of land available for growing food (which is doubly fucked when you take into account...

As has been stated, it's more profitable to "treat" than it is to "cure"... But the flip side of the coin is do we really *want* to cure everyone? This planet is already nearly double its sustainable carrying capacity, and the population is only growing. Once we hit 10 billion it's all down...

While I'm going to agree with most of what you're saying, there is one nitpick... The onramp for a freeway is a merging lane, not simpl an "acceleration lane"... And when merging into traffic, it's your responsibility to stay out of traffics way, not expect them move out of the way for you...

Yep. People need to pay attention to what's ahead of them (and all around them), not wait till they are on top of something then flash the highbeams... that shit HURTS when they are ten feet away and you can't see anything for a good 30 seconds. I've also dodged more than a few beer bottles...

Definitely. Reckless bike riders piss me off nearly as much as entitled, oblivious motor vehicle operators. Bikes = vehicle, thus riders should operate them as such, and drivers treat them as such... so don't pull out from a stop in front of me when I'm in the bike lane doing 30MPH down hill...

How completely fucking stupid. Let's blind the person on the side of the road so they walk into traffic or trip on something because you've just killed their nightvison with a spotlight. I walk all the time at night. Ride my bike too (with lights usually), and although it's the responsibility...

And again, people who obviously don't work with computers and have no clue what they are talking really shouldn't pull personal observations out of their ass and state them as facts... Ask anyone who manages hundreds of machines (of many different types and configurations) how the last...

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/lifecycle Obviously some of you guys don't really work with computers or simply understand Microsoft support lifecycles... Windows 7 mainstream support is over. Done. Nothing new ever to be added. It is in "maintenance mode" now for major...

Eh, the fact that Windows 8 (and 10) are far more optimized and run much faster than the bloated old codebase of Windows 7 is a pretty good reason. Been using 8 for years now, and have always just ignored the ModernUI stuff on non-touch machines (on touch it's pretty fucking awesome), but...

Perhaps you didn't notice, but Windows 7 support is already over. It ended on January 13th. It may have 4.5 years of "extended support" left, but that just basically means patches for security flaws. There are no new features, no real updates, no major optimizations... The OS is stick a...

Probably doing their usual: approving "food"/chemicals/additives/etc. known to be harmful to humans for use by Americans (even when these same items are often banned many other countries,) while at the same time approving all kinds of fancy new drugs for the pharma industry to "treat" you for...

The irony of you telling *me* to get over myself here is kinda telling. Fuck, your kid is at school... they will take care of them for 15mins. Mommy and daddy don't gotta be there to hold their hand 24/7... and the insistence of so many parents in doing so is why the majority of kids coming...

I agree that outright jamming should be illegal, but honestly... If you are so worried about something happening in that hour or two you are unplugged and unreachable, you have some issues that may be best served by seeing a good therapist. An adult shouldn't need to be reached by their...

I think it's a problem that will ultimately need to be solved with technology... Outright signal jamming is illegal, so something more like a radio signal to set your phone into silent mode when entering a building will probably come about. I use NFC tags to change my phone automatically...

Oh no! A big emergency! Heaven forbid... It's not like someone could, you know, call the theater... kinda like they always used to have to do, or anything like that. Guess what, you really aren't that important. Neither is your family. Turn off the fucking cell phone now and then and stop...
