Under the Affordable Care Act, all health insurance plans are requried to have an out-of-pocket maximum of at most $5,950 for individuals and $11,900 for families.
Furthermore, this guy is asking for a "complete and consistant" definition.
In the Incompleteness Theorem, a system of axioms is complete if, for all statements in the system, either the statement or its negation is provable from the axioms. A system is consistant if there exist no statements for which both the statement and its negation are provable.
Basically, his "proof" is "Hey, we don't want a contradictory or unfinished definition, right? And those words mean the same thing as consistant and complete! So, Godel!"
Your question is, "Hey, these guys who spend their entire lives predicting financial markets aren't good at predicting sports. How can we trust them to predict financial markets?"
Astronomers are having difficulty pinning down the galaxy's exact mass, but it's clearly the biggest bruiser within 1.5 billion light years of home
I mean, it's the largest galaxy they've seen at this point. But, if a galaxy of that size can go undiscovered for this long, how do they know there's not another one within 1.5 billion light years that's larger? Did they look at all of it, and just leave this little section for last?
Or is the summary just fabricating things that aren't in the article?
By the time you've sorted through and ranked every single comment, you'll be so tired of them that you won't want to mod and not having mod points won't be an issue. Sounds like he solved your problem to me.
If 2^x - 1 is prime, then neither 2^x - 1 nor 2^x is divisible by 3. Of any 3 consecutive integers, one must be divisible by 3. Therefore 2^x + 1 is divisible by 3.
Therefore 2*(2^x+1) = 2^(x+1) + 2 is divisible by 3, and so is 2^(x+1) - 1.
... but seriously, how is access to a broadband Internet connection a legal right? Somebody please explain this to me, because the article doesn't give any supporting logic.
They made a law that says everyone gets it. Isn't that all something needs to be a legal right?
If you could use my car without having any chance of crashing it and with no wear/fuel usage, I'd be completely fine with it. I'm not going to be upset that you gained some benefit with no negative consequences for me.
Fire the vehicle examiner. You only need 1 crumple zone in an impact; it doesn't matter what car it's on. The Hummer will use the Volvo's body as the crumple zone, simple as that. This is high school physics.
Have you ever actually *seen* collisions of large SUVs and trucks with light cars? The SUVs AND their passengers fare significantly better than the other car and its passengers, by far most of the time. You have a stiff bumper hitting a much softer part of a car body, which absorbs all of the impact.
Way to fight the stereotype of SUV owners being selfish dicks!
if I go out to work each day and work my ass off to make movies, and you go work as a plumber, and then I see you watch the movies I work at for free, yet expect me to pay you if you do some plumbing, then that isn't sharing, its called 'freeloading' or 'leeching'.
The problem with satellite internet (I hesitate to call it broadband) is that it's absolutely horrible. It's expensive (like you said, $60 a month after $300 upfront cost). It's slow (that $60/month gets you 700 kbps/128 kpbs). It's unreliable (I have significantly more outages than I ever did with cable). Oh, and they cut off your bandwidth if you download more than 200 MB a day. I feel like shooting that woman every time I see those commercials.
And the home plan is even worse. You get 200 MB per day for $80.00 a month ($60 if you give them $300 for the equipment).
I really enjoyed trying to download the latest Ubuntu distro on it. After letting it chug away on it for a day I just drove to a friends house and got it in ten minutes.
What's wrong with that answer? Certain religious groups do oppose contraception, e.g., some Catholic groups.
It seems like a fine answer to the question, but that's not the point. It's also not about indoctrinating students against contraception. Its about testing on the politics and beliefs of certain religous groups on a biology exam. I'm sure there's a place for students to learn about that, but its certainly not in a science classroom, and they certainly shouldn't be tested on it on a science exam

It would be pretty silly to build such a system in Alaska. Not enough people there.
Under the Affordable Care Act, all health insurance plans are requried to have an out-of-pocket maximum of at most $5,950 for individuals and $11,900 for families.
At least for new policies, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) made lifetime maximums illegal.
The US Navy has broken the existing record for the power of a laser.
[...]and package it as a 100 kW weapons system[...]
So, NIF isn't a thing anymore? Or is 100kW more than 500TW and someone forgot to tell me?

The bottom line is that there are limits to how small things can get with current technology.
They're right, SSDs won't replace hard drives with the current technology. If only we had a way to improve technology over time!

If we're going for stupid ideas that might keep people from killing themselves, why not just ban cars altogether?

And it's easily proven:
If 2^x - 1 is prime, then neither 2^x - 1 nor 2^x is divisible by 3. Of any 3 consecutive integers, one must be divisible by 3. Therefore 2^x + 1 is divisible by 3.
Therefore 2*(2^x+1) = 2^(x+1) + 2 is divisible by 3, and so is 2^(x+1) - 1.
A (completely useless) counterexample: Let x = 2.

Bah, second time this week I've mis-modded. Just posting to get rid of it. Sorry.
Whoops, accidentally modded troll, just posting to cancel that. Sorry.
I'd recommend using a different camera for that.
I, for one, welcome our new brain surgeon robot overlords.
Madden has been the only football game out there since they purchased the exclusive license from the NFL.
Nah, don't worry. I'll seed up to 2:1.
I'll keep that in mind.

That, of course, is what everyone who is for universial health care (myself included) thinks should happen every time.
