I always loved these crazy looking things. Imagining a 7 ft long shrimp/scorpion/alien creature as a kid was fun.
So from the article, classification was always tricky but now velvetworms may be a distance relative. I'm still holding out hope we'll find one left deep.
I distrust medicine much more than anybody I know. However, our pediatrician scared us into having my kid go through an MRI for a "possibly serious condition" when he was a few months old. Naturally nothing was wrong.
Now he is seven years old... and by fucking golly his memory is scarily good in all situations. My memory is better than at least 99% of adults I meet. The kid puts me to shame. Not only can he easily best me at any memory type of game, his episodic memory is incredible. He'll remember I promised we would do something, recalling every pertinent detail to make sure I adhere to it. He remembers who gave him what toy on which day (I used to remember that stuff when I was a kid). He recalls details of classroom events down to exact phrases.
What I'm trying to say is, as much as I hate medicine in general, I think this is one place at least my kid didn't get messed up by it.
Creative techie things are another. Especially in a life or death environment (cars) or a corporate environment (email down, fired).
So if say I was over all of IT for some big company, and then one guy says changing everything that is totally working fine to this new way of doing things would be better... I'm inclined to disagree with him. Why? If it fails, heads may roll. I would have to spend more time than him to get up to speed on whatever technology he is talking about (virtually impossible given the roles)... and then I'd have to trust him as much as the guy I trusted a year or two back that burned me when I trusted him.
So... while I love creativity in general,... no thanks, not at the work place. And not when it involves safety.
I've had lots of problems before and after 7.0.3. More than once I have had to reboot to regain sending email (receiving is fine). My 2nd phone, a Blackberry using activesync just like my iPhone, was still sending and receiving email no problem so I know it wasn't something with the server.
Other problems include buggy podcast playing. I've updated the podcast app so I hope it will be more stable.
I also REALLY do not like the way a "hard reset" no longer closes all apps. This is a big deal for businesses where users just aren't going to close all the apps themselves. Come on Apple, what are you doing to us?
I find browsing on the vendor built in browsers to be TERRIBLE. All the adds and crap flying around is twice as bad on a little tablet or phone because it is too easy to misclick. And browsing is already slower b/c of all the ads loading, it just ruins the experience for me.
Thank GOD for Firefox and the tweaks you can apply with 3rd party pieces. LOVE IT and I will NEVER change to something else.
He wants everybody to "not talk to the police" so he'll get more business. Seems pretty clear to me.
Of course if you are some stupid criminal, you don't want to talk to the police. And if enough innocent people are stupid enough to think that they should never talk to the police, it certainly makes the police's job harder while making the criminal representing lawyer's job easier. "What'd you say office, my client wouldn't talk to you and it looked suspicious? Well ever since that cool youtube video, 60% of innocent people don't talk to cops either!"
Yeah, basically avoid being a criminal and you don't have much to worry about. Lawyers that represent criminals are not people to trust OK... they aren't a bunch of free information loving computer people on the internet. Far from it.
If there is one thing to bring to Starcraft 2 from Warcraft 1, what would it be? I'm thinking along the lines of an ability, a type of unit that doesn't exist anymore, a simplified or more complex resource management, a slower game pace to allow more unit control instead of deathball vs. deathball.. that sort of thing.
They aren't good for learning with a hands on approach. They are better for just looking at junk. In that case, just use books and a blackboard, right? Because you can't play on those and get distracted.
DO NOT try to disperse them! I thought I had them and did a lot of reading. The trick is if you have them, keep them from running to every nook and cranny. Use CO2 traps (homemade ones work fine, just check out youtube) and a plastic cover over your bed mattress.
This scientist understands the emotion that moves people. While I am very much concerned with the chemistry of the oceans, if it weren't for things like the animals (sharks) and creepy ghost ship stories (humans being a part of the ocean historically) nobody would much care about the ocean including myself.
And then you go on about future for whales. What, do whales deserve attention but not sharks? I guess I just do not follow your train of thought here.
Have you ever used a fingerprint scanner for a PC? It takes 3 tries often enough, and you have to move slowly and press at an exact angle and pressure.
Pretty sure a common problem with these guns is people don't feel safe if their gun takes 20 seconds to recognize you are yourself. If you buy a gun to shoot a badguy who pops out of the shadows, or a deer that suddenly appears from behind a bush, I bet 20 seconds is a lifetime too long.
Awesome with the snake, didn't know that. Slightly different, but don't let us forget that alligators and their cousins sort of sit on their nests... not to keep them warm (the decaying leaves do that) but to protect the eggs from egg stealers.
I sort of type with the edges of my fingernails. I use the edges of my thumbs where the thumbnail and skin meet to type on physical phone keyboards. BB physical keyboards are usually very very good... much faster and less annoying for me... I never really hit the wrong key on the physical keyboards. But apparently some people I know can't figure out how to type on them, or they just type so slowly anyway that they don't mind touchscreens.
For the last several weeks I've been using a BB Z10, so I've been forcing myself to use the touchscreen to type on it. I also have an iPhone... got it about year or 2 back, but I never liked typing on it. Strangely typing on the Z10's touchscreen is slightly more accurate for me than the iPhone, but I still don't love typing on it as much as a physical keyboard. And I still very much miss having a ton of one touch dialing on the physical keyboard. I had 13 or so one touch dialing on my last BB, and love love love that feature. So it's quite tempting to get the Q10. Then again, 90% of the time I now dial through my car's interface so it doesn't matter as much. Hmm... keep the larger screen or get the better to type on keyboard?! The dilemma never ends. Meanwhile, I still use my iPhone regularly for a podcast that is iPhone friendly and is a must have.
Sounds like they mean they aren't brainy. So are they stupid? Anyway, it reminded me how much I just dislike the sound of "new" words that end in "O". It sounds very not English-like. These words often sound to Latin/Italian to my ears. Can we not stick to more English-based variants of things please? Does Brainynot not get the job done just as well... letting you get the message across that you are a dumb business?
So anyway but yeah... I do like the sound of this product's potential!;)
It'll cost more in software over time, it'll cost more in lost productivity due to compatibility issues, it'll cost more in IT salaries for having to hire people just to constantly deal with ever changing versions of Office and trying to keep all the various offices at the same version. Sounds almost completely impossible to me. Would never work here.
Liking, tolerating, or doing violence is certainly part of human genetics. But I get aggravated when people point to the "reptile brain" approach. It seems a cop out. The truth of the matter is that humans are animals, and all animals have dealt with violence between other animals for all the history of animal life for survival. Humans have to use their ability to care for others, use logic over feelings, etc. to override the need to be violent to survive.
From the Article: began to notice that adults in some ant genuses, such as Myrmica, which contains more than 200 diverse species found across Europe and Asia, made noise....
thought it odd that mature pupae would have the capability to produce sound but remain silent. So he and his colleagues listened in to a group of Myrmica scabrinodis ants. These 4- to 5-millimeter-long, reddish-brown ants are commonly found in northern Europe
This seems rather short-sighted. As I understand it, the darker your skin is, the harder it is to see a blush or whatnot. A deaf relative has made it clear that he can't really tell when black people are embarrassed from the blush reaction, and as a naive kid my relative was generally confused and impressed as to how very dark skinned people detected embarrassment from other dark skinned people despite this apparently "missing" piece of information. Obviously there are other signs. Aren't these the signs that adults with color blindness use with light or dark skinned social interactions already? Do we need this crazy technology to really detect emotions? I will admit though that when someone gets really red faced from anger, it has a certain affect.

Is the man. I think that's what this thread is about anyway, and I agree wholeheartedly even if it isn't! What? yes!

Sounds pretty creepy.
They aren't good for learning with a hands on approach. They are better for just looking at junk. In that case, just use books and a blackboard, right? Because you can't play on those and get distracted.
Can we get on with the next new gadget that makes a lot of money. I'm bored with phones.
Their rack servers, desktops, and even laptops seem a lot better than they were 5 years ago. We're back on Dell at my company, for the most part.
We can't let them ruin the web. Can't let 'em do it.
So they obviously picked this temperature because it is Zen in both measuring standards.

It is pure junk and not useful whatsoever. No need for it to be in soaps.
