Closest we had to mixed-sex facilities was one dorm that'd been recently renovated. Each room had an en-suite 3/4 bath and while each room was single-sex, the floors were mixed. Other dorms on campus had sexes segregated by floors, and each floor had its own shared shower and toilet facilities.
It was interesting to see how different the dynamics were in the mixed-floor system. It was a lot quieter, for instance, and in general people seemed more respectful. That wasn't just because freshthings were banned from the building, though I'm sure it helped! Before that I'd been in another dorm on the single-sex floor system (still no freshthings) and it was still somewhat quiet but fun-rowdy at times, with the odd drunks coming in and causing trouble. The first dorm, which was largely filled with freshthings, was the worst - loud at all hours and drunks pulling the fire alarm a few times week during the night. The worst part was that this was advertised as a "quiet floor" for people who wanted to study, but they didn't get the whole floor filled up with those people and so they let ordinary freshthings in to fill it up. I'm told the situation prevailed the next year.
You wouldn't see mixed-sex shower/toilet rooms here; we're much too sexually repressed as a culture.
My alma mater usually had two to a room, although one year I was in a larger room with three total (third guy was usually at his girlfriend's, so the extra space was nice. I'd imagine it's more efficient and is also meant to build character. I think the only people with single rooms were the resident assistants, basically upperclassmen who were den mothers to a given floor.
IIRC the average 2-bed room was 120 square feet, or a little over 11 square meters. How big are the rooms in your country?
Perhaps if the denial crowd didn't use methods exactly like those of the evolution deniers and the tobacco firms who lied about tobacco being harmless, we'd stop making such comparisons.
Wrong. Titanic had two reciprocating engines in addition to a single turbine, and the turbine provided only a third of total power. Turbines in those days were brand-new tech.
Is there a reason why a modern liner wouldn't use a turbine?
Not at all. We used remotely-controlled BQ-7 Aphrodite drones (converted B-17s) packed with explosives to crash into U-boat pens during World War II, albeit unsuccessfully.
The point of disputation is to convince your opponent (and skeptical spectators) of something. Arguing points that poorly is not going to do the job and will serve only to get points with the people who already agree with him; in short, that was a circle jerk.
Also, how immature are you that you have to elide "bullshit"?

They said "enhancing liberties". Obviously those liberties they care about belong to people who matter - donors, white Christians, &c.
Can we get a non-extremist pol who thinks TSA is a bad idea and has the power to do something about it?
I'm a little thick this morning, so I don't get the punch line. Explain?
Discordianism.
Inside that file with the teddy-bear icon, right?
"All I'm asking is for Obama to give us his birth certificate. If he has nothing to hide, then why doesn't he show it?"
Fuck off.
So you're arguing

What makes you think Slashdot's editors give two shits about the truth? This place is a tabloid with occasional interesting discussions.
That's a fine ideal, but show us the "informed and educated opposing viewpoint" to the consensus on AGW.

Personally, I see both sides as religious zealots.
Your logical fallacy is:

You are right.
I can only say that this is /. and one does not simply RTFA.
Anyone got a human-readable changelog with highlights? The linked one is a dump of everything that's changed.
The Laundry's simply getting prepped for when the stars are right.
UEFI can still have BIOS as a payload, and many of them do for compatibility reasons, for example to boot Windows XP.

Is there a reason why a modern liner wouldn't use a turbine?
I can see it now:
Titanic with fart mufflers so it sounds fast, and with a ginormous "Type R" sticker on the aft funnel. Maybe it'll have a lighting kit.
We couldn't very well have a nationalistic war against Okies, now could we?
If you're fast you can piss from the roof of any building with an observation deck.

What a novel definition of "wise"!
Are under the impression that Slashdot is /not/ gutter press?
