What's wrong with using butterflies?

Sure, I get that. But diabetes and Alzheimer’s are actually related:

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 cost saving estimates are quite enormous.

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 another. Similarly, publicising requests for footage could be detrimental to law enforcement agencies who are trying to help protect fellow citizens.

Since crime will always exist and criminals will always one-up law enforcement, it's in our best interests to always use the least possible countermeasures. Time will tell when we've reached 1984, society seems to drift closer and closer — albeit, ever so slowly.

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 and run Debian on Android on ARM, for starters.

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 where a credible strategical benefit exists. Right now, they're often part of a scare tactic and thus oppresses the people confronted by them. One has to ask whether their output is relevant at all before questioning the usage of said output.

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. I can find everything I need to know right here:

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.

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 (especially in banks and big telco). You end up in the deepest valleys of XML hell, colloquially known as WS-DeathStar.

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.

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, I'm disappointed by this.
