Some of you "men" will never understand. This is why.
Who Is At Greatest Risk for Domestic Violence?
Women ages 20 to 34, and increasingly, adolescent girls. Women who abuse alcohol or other drugs or whose partners do. Women who are poor. Women attempting to leave their abusers. Battered women increase their risk for murder when they try to escape. (New York City Department of Health)
No matter what the rate of violence or who initiates the violence, women are 7 to 10 times more likely to be injured in acts of intimate violence than are men. (Bureau of Justice Statistics)
It's unfortunate I have to spell this out for you because you're so effing _____. Young, vulnerable, poor women who have no where else to go and believe they will be murdered if they attempt to leave. It is unlikely you will ever feel such a thing in 1,000 of your lifetimes.
Therefore, socially networked games write their own plot by way of contributions by the players. The games are essentially chat rooms with awesome graphics.
...something that could be applied in the course of future employment? Now, that's just crossing the line right there. You know public school is about sharing feelings and enumerating all the ways white American males are evil.
Yes. What gives some corporation the right to remove content from MY device? Oh, the draconian licensing agreement that comes with the Kindle! Which is why I have no interest in one.
So, you mention you don't own a Kindle, which means you weren't affected by this incident yet you're stomping your feet as if someone stole your big wheel. Odd behavior.
Still, removing content from a user's device? I could see it if perhaps the device were somehow paid for by Amazon. But if I buy it, I don't want someone else removing my content.
And you're forced to buy the Kindle how? It is possible to buy e-books to read on your PC, cell, etc. You have alternatives, so quit your bitching.
I find Inkscape 0.46 a little buggy when dealing with lots of paths with lots of nodes. It's also pretty slow once you start throwing in blur on a few dozen or so objects. Despite that I prefer using Inkscape instead of Illustator when the project's design is small, sharp, and minimal. I also like how Inkscape starts up faster. My biggest complaints are that text in Inkscape sucks pretty hard, and I don't see that it has any concept of slices or exporting along guides.
I suppose the "correlation" between obesity and heart disease, diabetes, and heart attack are the result of moralist chiding also. Hmmm.
You are right in that obese people have the right not to be picked on and kicked around; however, it would be morally wrong withhold these results. Maybe you're mixing up conclusions made by the journalist versus conclusions made by the study, because you argue the study doesn't factor in the risk of biased sampling (for example sampling people in the South). Random sampling reduces the impact of bias.
You also argued that the study doesn't account for other environmental and social influences which may be the true causes of increased brain aging, but the goal of a single study is not to account for all variables. The goal is to isolate and limit the variables so that the scope of the information can be made understandable. It's highly unrealistic to expect all potential causes should be considered by a study, because there are near infinite relationships between every 2 facts.
The point is this particular study concluded when obesity occurs, it also appears with those with increased brain aging. The value of knowing that is that it helps map out avenues for new studies to address the questions you brought up. For example: could it be that genes between the two are close together so that both are likely to appear together in the patient; or, could it be that obesity causes hormonal changes which accelerates brain aging; or, could it be that the obese patients take some drug XYZ which has a side effect of causing increased brain aging? Who knows. I think more studies are needed to answer those.
You shouldn't focus so heavily on what one journalist concludes. They are trained to write eye-catching headlines.
The other guy said error handling. I say error cleanup when there are numerous dynamically allocated objects where failures can potentially occur at any stage.
You wanted a specific example, well here is one. It may be a little contrived but it's something you may find in C code. It simulates a poor man's try/catch in C and is syntactically more succinct than it would be using nested functions or nested "if" statements. You could wrap the code in a do { } while(0) loop and use breaks, but that would add useless syntax to accomplish the same thing. The logic is mostly linear and only does one implicit return. You can also add an error string and assign it at each error point (left out for brevity).
Websites behave like lemmings. They are ever marching toward some cliff, falling over, and dying. It requires persistent human guidance to prevent that from happening.
Physical objects should go into the capsule, not data. The reason we do that is because it's difficult to keep archived objects pristine and from getting lost. With data, you can store it in multiple places and always retrieve a bit for bit exact copy. Not so with physical objects.
Why do you believe the UFO/Abduction/Ghost/TeaLeaf/ESP/Crystal/Homeopathy/Numerology/Bigfoot/etc crowd makes it up?
Your post is a reason why blanket generalizations are bad. Are you talking about figures in the media, or everyone who indulges in these topics? I ask because I've known a number of people into those topics and I can tell you they do not think they are making it up. They might be hallucinating, misinformed, or simply finding patterns in random data, but they are not making it up nor do they have financial reason to do so.
I personally have seen apparitions, left my body, experienced vivid episodes of clairvoyance, and on a handful of occasions had visions of random future events which came to pass. I know of many people, like myself, who experience these things and don't talk about it with skeptics (generally) or those who would call us "idiots". Maybe I was hallucinating? It doesn't bother me if you believe that, but it does bother me when you make statements that everyone like me is an idiot liar. There is an enormous difference between being wrong and being a liar.
I think you should soften up your arrogance a bit with your characterization. I concede many who achieve notoriety or profit greatly are possibly liars, but for every one of those there are flocks of people who do truly experience "weird" phenomena. We are invisible to you because you probably project a very negative attitude whenever these topics come up in conversation. Since we are invisible, your only experience is watching the notorious ones in the media: the ones with enormous profit motives.

There would be concentrated areas, so you'd go after those and build a supply line (such as a train) to transport it long distances.

Debate flavor of the day, eh? Some of us are not falling for it and will not sweep aside the data with casual, cavalier remarks.
The law applies equally to all--regardless of your capabilities.
FYI: that post was not flamebait. Unfortunatly, I have no mod points at the moment.
Nerds never say "asses". They say "asshats" or "assclowns". They also have big bellies which overhang and rest on the edge of the desk.

It's an inline style tag. You know.. the basic structure is fine. It wouldn't take much to tweak it to look good.
