Is it too much effort to spell properly even in the damn summary? Surely the story has "threatened" spelled correctly? I'm noticing more and more that spelling nowadays is like food seasoning - you just need to sprinkle some of it around, doesn't matter where it falls.
(Wasn't there a story earlier this week about declining standards?)
You never said that - now it looks like you're making facts up purely to make your case. How about a citation so I can read for myself that some "asshole" merged into them, hmmm?
Yes, by a few peers. Publishing it lets a larger group of peers review it. It passed the first review (maybe 4, 5 peers?) and failed the 2nd (a few hundred, maybe a few thousand peers?)
This is how peer review works - reputable journal doesn't want to publish rubbish, so a few peers get to review the research before journal publishes. Since journal is reputable other peers read it, and then they get to refute the findings, find errors, etc.
Or how about that doctor who was convicted of slamming on his brakes to "scare" cyclists? Two of them couldn't stop in time, and they smashed into his back window. It came out in court that he had a long history of such road rage against cyclists.
It should have also come out in court that it was the cyclists fault for *not maintaining a safe following distance*!!!
You see, for all your sermonising, you just pointed out an incident where the cyclist was at fault but you failed to see that they were at fault due to your emotionally irrational arguments. It's hard to take anything you say seriously, and yes I both ride a bicycle and ride a motorbike, and never had any problems.
I keep away from parked cars in case the doors are suddenly opened, I never weave in traffic, etc. As a part-time cyclist I have to say that the majority of the accidents I've seen were preventable by the cyclist, not only the motorist. So share the blame - I've seen more cyclists pose a hazard to the free flow of traffic than motorists do, even though there are more motorists on the road.
My son is two and a half; I get him every 2nd weekend. His toys are all educational, but still (as I understand it) fun for him. This past weekend he was able to repeatedly identify and place in order all the letter of the alphabets (in the form of fridge magnets). He can count to 10. And all this from a child who doesn't live with both parents, who has his time split, who was the traumatised subject of an acrimonious divorce (which is still in the process of happening).
The reason my not-yet-3-year-old can and does read individual letters and digits off of road signs as we drive? My ex-wife (an attorney), myself (an academic) and my g/friend (a doctor) are all very involved in what stimulus he gets. Parental involvement can trump poor teaching methods, inexperienced teachers and even mutilated syllabi.
I expect to continue being involved in his education, so I see no need to blather on about the dismal literacy of the next generation - I'm doing something about it for me and my own.
Cost: Two different ISP's = double the bill? (Unless you pay half for half the bandwidth)
Encryption: needed because your packets are passing through someone else's PC.
Multi-homed endpoints: result in a mesh network - automatic redundancy
Torrent-like: a piece of data may have been cached somewhere along the route, hence you need not
request all the blocks from the same target (for example you and I both request the same file, while
I get it from source, you get it from me if I am on the path you are using)
TOR: encrypted mesh network?
My idea isn't wonderful, but it meets their requirements of not being an incremental addition, being totally new and novel:-)
I doubt that this is open to non-Americans, so I'll just post my idea here instead:
Make every endpoint (home 'puter) have no less than two different ISP connections. Then
every home computer can also be a router. This does mean that every single packet has
to be encrypted (a solved problem, methinks), and that every single endpoint is properly uniquely
identified.
Advantages are numerous - encryption is required for it to work at all, consumers have redundancy
(not only for their own net connection, but throughout the entire path as well), ISP's don't have to provide
$X Mb/s connection, they can provide $X/2 Mb/s and the computer can load-balance while routing.
Last advantage is that torrent-like downloads can take place without the need for special p2p software.
Disadvantages do, of course, include the fact that every consumer doubles their internet bill and that a govt is
unlikely to fund a global TOR rollout:-)
Yeah, you're right - fuck rehabilitation, prison's for punishment, not for the safety of society or rehabilitation of criminals who may have a shot of entering society again one day.
You're a fucking genius, I tell ya... (Now where did I leave those red hot irons???)
Sadly I do (see my other post)... funnily enough when I was single I looked at all those guys with more than one woman and thought "Man, I wish I had their problems"...
I now look at all those guys with no woman and think the very same thing
Presumably it would be trivial to block something well-specced (like video specific stuff in HTML5). Blocking flash blocks *all* flash, blocking video in HTML5 should be easier (no doubt an expert can chime in here and tell us both how easy it would be to ignore video in HTML5)
This was documented a while ago when trying to explain a 12 girls family with other cause than randomness.
Anyone who ever played roulette with a "system" has learned that an unlikely occurrence will sooner or later happen - 12 girls family
is, statisically speaking, certain to happen sooner or later.

Maybe they're trying to up their standards? :-)
It doesn't. In fact, it's noted for never ending :-)

My eyes are bleeding from your fractured spelling... You can spell "loss" correctly but not "losing"? "Braking even"? Really?
You never said that - now it looks like you're making facts up purely to make your case. How about a citation so I can read for myself that some "asshole" merged into them, hmmm?

I do rot-6.5, but I do it four times.
I used to do rot-pi, but then everyone said I was irrational

There is much better use for 30M such as spending it on education, which is broken rather than Internet which isn't not so broken.
Yup ... you're seriously making a great case there, trust me on this ;-)
Personally I would never ever higher a phd for a programing role.
I can see why.
In Clue only one person is a murderer,
In the game, yes, in the movie, no

Girlfiend (not a typo) doesn't like me referring to the other "her" as wife anymore either

does one want to admit to being the one that called out the women drivers of the world
Well, yes. My girlfriend and wife both agree that woman are terrible drivers, hence I do all the driving on any trip.
It's South Africa - here lawyers don't get paid on contingency anyway.

Casual games are good enough for me. I work, I have a family, I have other hobbies. A quick 30-minute session of Nethack
Since when is Nethack a "casual" game?
Mods? Above comment is probably the only workable suggestion.
Actually, even with proper studies, most people who practice bubble-living on their kids aren't going to change.
