Standards are low (probably always have been). You see plenty of adults reading Harry Potter and Twilight but it's rare you see them reading books written for adults.
That's a myth that adults suck at learning new languages.
Having looked at some of the research while I was at uni, the main difference between adults and children learning language is that adults don't lose their accent.
If anything, adults have certain advantages that children don't in learning a 2nd language. One of these advantages is that they already know how to read and write.
Cool story about Kodak's prototype digital cameras:
One of the Kodak digital prototypes was used to take a photo in Australia at the same location as the very first photo ever taken Australia in the 19th Century. The prototype digital camera came with a portable printer that printed the image. It was one of the few photos taken with that particular prototype as it was stolen soon after that.
I didn't read TFA, but I did read a different article on the topic a few days ago.
The Chinese government aren't banning western reality shows. They're banning locally produced reality shows that were incredibly popular. Their problem is that the contestants were indirectly criticising government policy and highlighting problems in their society on these shows.
In that case they should have posthumously named Mohamed Bouazizi as person of the year. He's the Tunisian guy who started the Arab Spring by setting himself on fire in protest.
Most talk of reducing emissions in Australia uses a start date of 2000. It is often criticised for this because a 5% reduction on 2000 levels is much less than 5% below 1990 levels.
Australia shares some of those problems. However the federal government can take over certain state government powers using the corporations section of the constitution (don't ask me for the details). Here, the federal government makes national legislation and standards and the states usually agree to implement them at regular meetings between all the different state governments.
One ongoing problem in Australia is that water is managed by the states and our major river system runs through four states. In my mind it looks incredibly wise having water, fisheries and oceans managed by the federal government.
In modern translations there are often footnotes for passages where the difference between singular and plural you matters. So that's not really an argument for the KJV.
No such thing exists, and I believe it's theoretically impossible. When you use sensors to read the physical world there is always noise in the reading. So even the same fingerprint won't look exactly the same if scanned twice. That means there's always a fudge factor when matching is done by the biometrics.
Also there is the anecdote of a security researcher putting on a latex glove then touching his finger to the scanner. He was let in because the fingerprints of the previous people who were authorised were left on the scanner.
Who modded parent post up? Since when is idle conjecture "Informative"? So much for no stupid question, a few minutes googling what OWS is about would have answered the question.
Totalitarian is the word you're looking for, not fascist. Fascism is one particular political ideology. Fascists are totalitarians but you can be a totalitarian without being fascist (e.g. Soviet Russia, North Korea).
The Tea Party want smaller government. Nature abhors a vacuum - something will fill it. I think it's a pretty good chance that something will be the largest corporations.
I used to think that too. I've always found it easy to set the timer record on the ~3 devices I've tried it on.
Then my parents bought a new VCR when their old one broke. The cheapest model they could find. The user interface was terrible! Buttons on the remote did different things depending on which screen you were on. Timer record is several menus deep.
User Interface design is important. Something like setting a timer on a VCR is done infrequently and by non-technical users. It needs to be intuitive - because you're effectively learning how to do it each time.

Republic doesn't mean representative democracy (with rule of law). That's an American definition. The GP's definitions are correct.

Why can't it be +1, all of the above?
Credit card payments are instant (or a matter of days). It's thanks to this little invention you might have heard of called the Internet.

A quick Wikipedia check says you're wrong. Christmas trees are a German/Latvian Christian tradition which started in the 15th or 16th Century.
The article on Saturnalia doesn't even contain the word tree. Mithras doesn't have anything about decorating trees in the story.
About the only thing that seems to be factual is December 25 being used for Christmas because people were celebrating then anyway.
Isn't that the point of working from home?
I think any stories with links to the daily fail should be binned. It is NOT a reputable source.
WHOOOSH!
hahaha perfect implementation of biometrics.

You have a strange definition of improve.
He was prolly trollin you.
Israel was occupying long before the Greeks. Their Occupy Caanan movement even has several books written about it.
