Which account? mindcrime and WorldWideWayne both seem to be alive at this time. Oh maybe you just meant banned from submitting stories. That makes sense. Thanks!

It's a really bad example of what the submitter was allegedly trying to point out as you can see from his comment above.

Actually, "nobody said those words in the article or anywhere in the comments". So, if your purpose was indeed to highlight that , you obviously failed since nobody here seems to be discussing that. Here are some articles that sa

I'm guessing that the millions of tech people who make their living off of Microsoft's back would probably disagree that building on a Microsoft platform is a bad idea.

No, but I'm interested in the motivation in relation to their point of view. But in general, it's beyond me at this stage why people single out Microsoft for being anti-competitive. It's completely unbalanced.

Looking at the submitter's background I don't see any professional experience with Microsoft tech. Maybe someone can explain it to me - I don't understand why a guy has avoided Microsoft for his entire career feels the need t

I thought my comment above would have played better to the crowd here, who always seemed to be strongly anti-conspiracy theory since they always wanted to mis-apply things like Occam's Razor and other such heuristics, in a debate. Mayb

I wonder how all of the Microsoft haters who think this is "not a mistake" feel about other conspiracy theories? What do you know about lizard people?

But that's what happens anyway isn't it? Disney kept getting the law changed to protect their fictional mouse character. The MAFIAA got their terrible DMCA. And so on... The question is - how can you fight it? If the plebes could

I gave you the justification that works for me. If it doesn't work for you, then go do what you want. And it's continued spending, not past spending...and my justification also reflects on the actions of my adversaries.

I do what I want to primarily because I can . And I'm not going to feel bad about that. Just because a law or contract exists does not make it good or right or moral to me. Look at the world we live in - Might makes Right is the ult

Absolutely. I've had the "premium" level subscription for at least over a decade, which includes all of the content producers and all of the movies (and music). I've paid roughly $12k to $16k to these bloodsucking corpor

I bet he's paid Comedy Central for thousands of things that he never even asked for if he's ever had a cable bill. Look at the big picture. We live in a society full of corruption and greed; people are naturally going to "ste

I have been paying more than $100 a month to a cable company for a long time. So, I feel entitled to watch whatever I want, wherever I want because if I haven't already paid for it, I probably will soon.

No problem! Not annoyed in the slightest, I enjoy exploring this subject. However, since you mentioned the phrase "miraculous healing" I get the feeling that you're ascribing an opinion to me that I do not have. You probably

Thank you. So, due to the extra work that is required I'm going to say YES - this is one point in favor of not preferring inline docs. I think all the dissenters missed that part (about it being "one point" in favor/no

If the function is nested within another function, then the comments to document the inner function are going to exist inside the outer function. And having nested functions is a very common scenario in JS.

"In fact, I don't even use a mouse anymore--my hands are always on the keyboard or trackpad and I can gesture to my computer and actually have it respond--unlike Windows." I use a keyboard all day with Windows. I can do every

So, is this is a point in favor of not commenting your Javascript code or using inline docs? Historically, I preferred to use inline JsDoc style comments as the source of documentation for my public APIs. Recently though, I decided that I

The "my body" argument is the central thrust of Roe v Wade and it is the very reason that abortion is no longer illegal. So that argument is absolutely worthy of consideration here. Indeed, the stronger point is "Don&#x27

Thank you for the great explanation of an instance where stating a negative is not useful. However, in this case, I don't think one can say there is there's no scientific data or even a reasonable theory to suggest that "the

It's my body, so yes. It's legal to kill an unborn fetus that lives in my body, but it's not legal to grow some poppies and ingest them? That's ridiculous to me. It's my body. Don't make some substance illegal

Stating an unproven negative holds the same value to me as stating an unproven positive. That's a fact and that's exactly what I said. Stating an unproven negative as if it were a fact is also not the best scientific approach. (Al

I'm not defending the GP's statement about curing cancer, but could you explain your position that "things that affect the brain/mind" cannot affect "insert body part"? How do you know that? Are you saying
