Not necessarily *who* does the science, is important, but science is based on the decisions of those doing it. IE: *What* gets studied can depend on the scientists. I would not expect a group of white, hetero males to do much research on the topic of Sickle Cell Anemia, because it largely does not affect them.
I guess that you don't know that sickle cell anemia is not a disease based on race or ethnic background. It's occurrence is based on exposure rates to malaria, in a community as a whole, no matter what race a person is.
Look, this is Slashdot. Without fail some guy will spend maybe three seconds thinking and then post his pin-headed conclusion about what's wrong with something, as if everyone else in the world is an idiot and can't consider even the simplest things. That guy is always wrong.
No I'm not! Well, not every time. I hit the nail on the head occasionally with a wildly thrown rock.
But no one uses blind dogs to track an escaped convict. No one needs to, because even the dogs that can see can smell the guy's trail.
Maybe blind bloodhounds can find even fainter scent trails that bloodhounds that aren't blind. Doesn't seem like a problem that needs fixing at the moment.
Germany is not "the size of a single average US State". It is larger than all but four states, those four being Alaska, Texas, California, and Montana.
Germany's population of 82,000,000 is not "a tiny fraction" of the US' 330,000,000, it's about one quarter.

Polack jokes are no longer considered acceptable.
I'm also safe. I don't have Windows 7 or 8.1. I have the original Windows 8, which isn't listed as vulnerable. Yeah for Windows 8!

No one is surprised.
Do you mean guys with guns on their hips? Or at least ones who place their hand thusly, giving the appearance they are armed?
Does its UI resemble Chrome, or have they reverted back to the Firefox look of old?
Exactly. I used Firefox for years, and avoided Chrome mainly because I didn't like its UI. Even though Chrome did work much better than Firefox.
Now Firefox's UI seems identical, so why not use the horrible-UI-browser that works better?

The word "rioting" is above your vocabulary level?
Do cellphone carriers still charge by the minute? I thought it was all unlimited calls now.
What did the previous version of the book state?
Why was it changed?
I've heard the B group has that same issue. "You can't be on 'my side' if you sleep with [person of the opposite sex]."
As someone who is on the autism spectrum, thank you for pointing out an asinine question.

Fuck Starbucks.
And to re-state the obvious from another post: When working with superconductors, liquid nitrogen is considered 'high temperature'.
Right thermometer, wrong hole.
With all due respect, the monkey-filled rectum scenario is at least as plausible as the submitted story.

It would be much clearer to say Germany is 10% smaller than California, and has just over twice the population of California.
And, by the way, that is not a small space.
Maybe because it is very wrong on some points.
Germany is not "the size of a single average US State". It is larger than all but four states, those four being Alaska, Texas, California, and Montana.

Why? Did "Family Channel" not imply enough gayness?
To be fair, the phrase "beg the question" is a very poor transliteration of the latin original, and is not intuitive of its own meaning at all.
I say we redefine "beg the question" to mean what it seems to mean, and use a more appropriate term for what is essentially circular reasoning.
