Dude, it isn't that you had a small sample size, it's that you're extrapolating from independent contexts. There's a large difference between what people will say on posts IN facebook among friends (i.e. a semblance of privacy) versus what some warm body clicks for a quarter on mechanical turk (no semblance of privacy and perhaps an intent to please the questioner and adjust to the bias of the question).
Your "fun picture" at a "department party" or whatever (I RTFirstA but not this justification drivel) attempts to locate the issue in the image, but fails to account for the different contexts and motivations. It also fails to differentiate between 'do you like/are you offended by this' versus 'would you share this and what would you say about it'.
Your "experiment" is akin to trying to generalize that ballet shoes (liking/offensiveness of these images) aren't very good (no bias) because you played basketball in them (paid someone to answer a survey). And the metaphor in that last sentence was deliberately contorted as an example of how you structured your experiment incorrectly and extrapolated the results from an improper experiment.
Throwing stats about sample sizes, percentages and previous glory mean nothing if you're measuring the wrong thing... and still coming up short.
This is coming from a husband of a two breastfed kids who only says in public that I agreed with breastfeeding so I'd see more nipplage around the house....
this update probably has a some relationship to Nvidia's handheld device Shield being able to play android games, especially because some of these features can be found on Steam and probably nvidia's own tegrazone.
The question may then become is the 'syncing' among android apps and/or across these other platforms...
That's why people should get on the America's Test Kitchen bandwagon. The recipes they put into their books and on their Public Television show (of the same name) are tested in their kitchen sometimes 20-60 times for the most "bulletproof" version. Check out this
article for more about the magazine/movement.
I bought two of their books and record their show. Every recipe I've tried I've messed up a little bit and the dish still came out with rave reviews from myself, wife and party guests.
1. yeah, because having an internet connection is obviously a signal that one's household is an indicator of the people in that household either being productive or being on the brink of becoming productive... So now that these poor black folk have an internet connection they are going to become 'bankable (get bank accounts), good jobs and better education(al opportunities).
I find it relatively stupid that people think signing up for broadband is supposed to bridge some 'digital divide'. Why don't we start focusing on the 'paycheck divide' which is probably a much more reliable indicator of opportunity being converted into economic reality...
So let's applaud google's "get out the broadband effort" and forget about how Lilliputian of a distance that step gets one across the 'digital divide'...
2. I was just about to post the same article.
I hope they include SpaceChem - it's a fantastic puzzle game that many people have thought to liken to teaching chemistry, industrial manufacturing and programming.
Well that's just arrogant (demonstrates a belief in the superiority of current social mores over historical realities) spineless (so our genteel sexting children don't have to face the fact that some Americans enslaved and legislated the inferiority of a whole race) and impoverishing (robs people of the opportunity for a real authentic discussion of the troubled history of race in this country).
Well, i think the real problem if pc gaming 'dies' (probably just shrink) is that there are kinds of games like sim-city and RTS gamesother UI intensive games that aren't played well on the console. There need to be more than eight buttons to play and figure stuff out.

And in the famous word by . ..Borat "Not"
It's about wear and tear on the engine. If you drive regularly at 45mph and your car's top speed is 90mph, you're using about 50% of the engine's capacity. However, if your top speed is 50mph, then you're using about 90% of your engine's capacity. There will inevitably be lots more wear-and-tear on an engine running close to full-speed at a high percentage of the time than not.
the other reason that cars 'should' be able to go fast is that its just plain fun dammyt.
The answer to your second question is "yes".
For the laymen . . .
Let's say you plug a toaster oven into the wall. And in the toaster oven you have a glass that contains solution with two liquids. And those liquids only react to each other at a certain temperature (100 degrees). Let's also say it takes you 50 joules to heat up the solution to 100 degrees. And the solution's interacting gives off the equivalent of 95 joules. You then have a 'net gain' of 45 joules (1.9x) not counting the energy in the solution.
No voodoo physics. Just selective measuring.
I think you mis-understood the use of the term "tactical". Since the point of the generator was military, i think "tactical" referred to that it is portable and flexible relative to other waste-disposal means and/or energy-generating means.
And on what basis do you say "likely to be a very polluting energy source"? The article linked said that the reduction of materials was a 30-1 ratio and that the EPA designated all the output materials (ash) "benign". So where do you get the conjecture "very" from?
So it won't power my playstation, but it might power my block.
I'm unimpressed by your $7 words and bad analysis.
Globalization is not a process, it's the result of a process. Talking about the world economy in terms of globalization is like talking about a body's metabolism in terms of body-heat. The problem is that you have too little information to make a meaningful diagnosis, much less investigation, of how things work. It's ecnomic phrenology!
"Globalization" doesn't make things cheaper. Competition doesn't make things cheaper. Intelligent people figure out how to make things cheaper (cheaper raw materials, better engineering, cheaper means of production, etc).
Is "Moore's law" a product of globalization? Is it even a law? No, it's the meme of one man, spread throughout much of the computing industry. That's part of, but not the whole shebang of 'globalization', the proliferation of ideas and distinctions applied to production.
There are no such things as 'monopoly rights'.
Anyhoo, what's this got to do with the R**A?
All this seems to me like it'll just criminalize the already non-criminals. Innoncent until proven guilty, but someone's identity in the system might just be an implication in her/him being a criminal.
I wouldn't mind a database of DNA for convicted criminals, but just those arrested seems like killing a rat with a nuke.
Unfortunately, the founding dudes didn't see privacy as a 'self evident' right. So now, we have to fight for our rights (for privacy, not "to party"). But why do we have to fight so hard, so often, and in such mintue detail?

They wouldn't have to do this if we just closed tax loopholes, then America would actually have the money to teach its youth.
Technology is not the solution; you can't scale attention.

Slate magazine just ran a story about how most, if not all, Hollywood blockbusters are starting to follow a single format/structure:

note - if you click the link at the end of the article you'll also see how the article is written in the same format! - how consistent!

perhaps the only anecdotal evidence is that in humans when the older kids are scared they make the younger ones go first.
