A cargo handler for a major package delivery company came across an express envelope with shipping instructions that puzzled him, particularly the line describing the contents.
He finally realized the parcel contained some kind of manual and was addressed to a church. But at first he thought he was processing one of the company's most momentous pieces of freight.
The description read, "Instructions for the Assembly of God."
Does the criminal system disproportionately punish people of colour, or just people of low socio-economic status? (Since you've already pointed out that minorities are over-represented there).
I would be completely unsurprised if almost all the coloured/punishment correlation derives from the poor/punishment correlation.
The problem isn't that the cities are diffuse(though they are, compared to just about any other country); it's that they're a very long way from the places where the interesting English-language content mostly is (ie North America, England, and the torrent peers in Europe). Many ISPs offer unmetered access to large amounts of local content.
Even when you're laying a lot of cable at once, the cities are far apart from each other, and ocean cable spanning half the globe is still very expensive compared to land cables for a few hundred km.
I really wish computer industry people would stop redefining standard unit symbols.
T means Tesla, as you've said. GT/s would presumably be a rate of change in magnetic field strength - a very very very fast rate of change, I think, considering how strong a 1T field is.
Yep. "Blink", "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances", "The Girl in the Fireplace", "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead" (hey, who turned out the lights?). In other words, every single one of the best stories in the new Doctor Who (while Russell T Davies is sadly over-represented in the "worst stories" category, although he's not responsible for all of them).
Also, he wrote much of "Press Gang" and quite a few "Coupling" episodes, as well as a recent adaptation of "Jekyll" that was awesome. He's one of my favourite television writers in fact. I am looking forward to the next season *so much*.
You could change your settings to downmod anything funny and upmod anything insightful, informative, or underrated... that might reduce your time wastage although it won't create insightful or informative posts out of thin air.
a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 en-route to Kuala Lumpur from Perth experienced similar problems.
And the Qantas flight was also going to Perth? I blame all the iron ore thats still in the ground around Perth!
Obviously the government should take all possible action to have it dug up and removed from the country as fast as possible. Won't somebody think of the children?
I'm curious to know which SCADA systems you've worked with. I've got some experience in that field as well. Are any of them noticeably better or worse on the flakiness score?
I have, actually. Still am in fact;). Specifically, the Nintendo WiFi USB thingy that tzhuge mentioned below.
But there's another factor to consider. I mainly play my DS when I'm out and about; at home I mostly spend my spare time on the PC. And unfortunately, even the coffee shops and public libraries seem to be mostly running WPA these days. Sure, the encryption key's readily available, but that doesn't help when the device is so behind the times.
So I'd still upgrade on the release day if it supports WPA!
If it has WPA support, I'll be upgrading my current DS the day that I can. I haven't yet used the online mode because I don't want to downgrade the security on my AP to WEP.
Africa's an entire continent. While parts of it need those basics more than internet, there's a lot of Africa that has the basics sorted out - and would benefit hugely from this.
So, you're saying that if the contractors give their binaries to the government, they also have to give the source to the government under the terms of the GPL.
That sounds completely reasonable - I don't see how it would rule out the use of GPL'd source. Frankly I'd be a bit surprised if the government *doesn't* get copies of the source code as deliverables when paying for avionics systems, weapons, military logistics packages etc etc!
Actually, ID does make some disputable claims. Specifically, it makes claims that certain features of biological life could not have arisen by evolutionary processes. It doesn't make any claims about how those features did arise.
So it wouldn't be taught as "Someone or something may have made all this." I think the Discovery Institute's formulation is more like "Someone or something must have made all this." (And then they hand out the Bibles later on, so it looks a little less like they're trying to use science class as a conversion opportunity.)
However, if it can be shown that these features can arise via evolutionary processes, it's (even more) Game Over for ID. That's why I think that, like other forms of creationism, it's a terribly weak bulwark for deists to put their faith in.

Saw that in a Reader's Digest a few years back...
Is she a goer, know what I mean?

Dammit, now I want to vote couchant.

Now *that* deserves modding up.

Thanks for the response. I know what you mean about the user-inflicted problems!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm in .au.
I'll try looking around some more. There must still be some WEP/unsecured APs around!
Cheers

Slashdot?
Have you seen what the White House does to people? It sucks their life right out of them.
Man, now there's an interesting concept for a horror movie...
Insightful.
Says it all, really.

What alternatives did you try?
What does this part mean?
(KHTML, like Gecko)
Chrome doesn't use KHTML or Gecko, it uses WebKit (which is admittedly based on KHTML). But why are KHTML and Gecko mentioned in the user agent?
Got any more details?
No worries, thanks for the response.
