This has like a third of the joints of a cat. The shoulders are limited to one plane, and there's no real control past the elbows and knees. A crawling baby is more elegant than this robot. Sure it's a great step forward but to call it cat-like is completely ridiculous. It has four legs. That's the only similarity so far.
Exactly. I needed a study space and thought a library would be good. Quiet, few distractions. Boy was I wrong. I got to watch security guards fight with homeless people. So I went back another day. Same BS. Libraries suck for studying.
I went to a library once last year. It felt like I stepped back in time to when I was in high school. Nothing had changed. The books hadn't changed, the computers hadn't changed, their sense of relevance hadn't changed. On top of that it was noisier than hell as people were using it as a meeting place so it was an awful place to study. I backed out of there slowly and I'll probably never visit a library again.
The GOP is a religious organization, whether they want to be or not. So their stance is that everyone else must therefore be atheists or terrist muslims since Evangelism is the only true religion to them.
Older than that even. I think in was the mid eighties when I had motorized lego. The kit was for a semi truck but I built all kinds of things and must have used lots of batteries.
If it only takes them a hundred years and a trillion dollars it'll be a miracle. And here's a tip: bring in the French first. After they fail everyone will want to help you out because apparently nothing's more satisfying than beating the French at something.
You absolutely must factor in the cost of getting it elsewhere, you know like driving to a store or paying someone to ship you a box with a DVD in it. And you should factor in the time it takes you as well.
You take a battery camping? You obviously don't get it. The idea is to get away and go without the modern conveniences. I can think of only a few legitimate reasons to take a battery camping (medical conditions, emergency jump starter, maybe something else I've missed) but seriously a heated blanket and lights? Stay at home.
It's not that bad. You can have decent quantities of metal in your body and still have an MRI. I had one last year and I have a permanent stainless steel retainer on some of my teeth. It wasn't an issue at all. I looked it up and apparently the only issue is the reduced quality of the scan in the area immediately around the metal.
A submarine is an incredibly complicated design. Errors become more difficult to spot as a design gets more complicated. A couple little mistakes and you're massively over or under weight.
And how many of these are simple funding cuts? The economy has been in various states of suckitude over the last few years so I'd expect to see plenty of cuts in government funding. Doesn't make it an anti-science conspiracy.
I think the key to getting accreditation for education is the separation of teaching from testing. They should be completely independent. Many higher level programs operate this way. You can learn in any way you want from private tutors to full university classes, but everyone takes the same tests and is held to the same high standard. I could go on and on about this but I'm sure many out there who have learned under this kind of system will agree that it's superior to the high school/university style of teaching, where teacher's are far more interested in testing students than actually teaching them anything.
Could do that years ago. There's a whole scene in Good Will Hunting about how he got his advanced education for 45 cents in late charges at the library.
What the poster meant was that he's just too lazy to go to the gym when he could be at home watching TV. Any significant workout is going to make you sweat a lot, which is why you don't do it at your desk. If you just want a physical job then sign up to be a mail carrier or bicycle courier.

I'm going to stop sending every typo and punctuation mistake I catch to Amazon. I thought I was helping.
If my local library sucks then it doesn't really matter about the other ones. I'm not driving across town to a slightly better library.

Regardless of how well it works or how safe it is you're just not allowed to use the word 'nuclear' with the public. That word is now contaminated.
They're supporting IE 5.5? Well, there's your problem.
Gay Marriage is voluntary AT FIRST!!! But soon everyone will be required to be gay married.

And the leader, Danielle Smith, is a Michele Bachmann clone.

I've never seen, or even heard of, a traffic light that doesn't operate that way.
No way!!! Who came up with that? Pure genius.
When I see 50 somethings wearing bluetooth earpieces I'm inclined to think that in ten years they'll be wearing these goofy glasses too.

Suppose you're investigating Microsoft. Are you not allowed to use Windows, Word, Excel, Outlook?

This needs to be modded up simply because it's a computer analogy for a car issue.
