I recall reading that the Goldilocks zone for dwarf stars is quite closer to the star than for our Sun. So much so that the planets in that zone would most likely become tidally locked with the star (IANAA either). That raises interesting questions on the possibilities for life there. The environment would likely be much harsher - violent wind, big temperature difference on each side of the planet, possibly compensated for with atmosphere and oceans. On the other hand, harsher environment might also be a pressure point for more intelligent life to evolve, given that life would arise to begin with.
"you can do whatever you want to your own body and mind, just don't do it to anyone else".
I think you answered your own question - you should be allowed to smoke whatever you want in your own home, except if you have children or non-accepting spouse subjected to your chosen pollution. That out of the way, I pretty much agree with your take on this.
Fuck you (country_name) is just as stupid here as it most often is. Do you feel personally responsible for every damn thing the politicians in your country do? Besides, this proposed lock-down is not gonna happen cause the minister in question will be out of office pretty soon (upcoming elections).
The fact that evolutionary theory doesn't have (yet) predictive power is the primary reason why ID survives. When evolutionary biology produces falsifiable hypotheses with predictive power, ID will silently go away.
OP stated that JavaScript is not a full blown language. If he's not talking about computability, then another criteria might be IO control which is entirely possible in JavaScript like in most other languages. If he's not talking about that either but instead some missing language/syntax feature, then probably all programming languages fail that criteria.
You do realize that there are quite a few integers between 10 and 20, and between 20 and 30, that serve the same distinguishing purpose as your precise splitting into 40-50-60-70-80-90, don't you?
Don't worry, the other half of the population is smarter than average!
Oh, and to those posters complaining that mean!=median, they are probably completely right if when talking about mean/median intelligence. But when talking about measured IQ - completely wrong. Here, have an explanation.
You may have learned to read when you were 2, but you still havent learned to close your parantheses. Seriously, some people consider that as heinous a crime as leaving the toilet seat up!
I remember some of those games... Here's a quickly googled list if anyone's interested. Nice to have some nitpicking take you down memory lane, cheers:o)
Nope. Everyone I know that had one, at least bought papers where you could input cheat POKEs for infinite lives, times etc. Anecdote, I know - but still, where did you get your statistics of 'Most Spectrum owners' from?
Also, Ibelieve the label on it is just the last moderation to be applied, so a +4, informative could become a +3, troll with a single troll moderation.
Actually, I don't think that's the case. I've often modded something as interesting and seen it go from +3 undefined to +4 insightful (and vice versa).
Except that if you bought the phone in good faith and it then got bricked as supposedly stolen, wouldn't you take some action? If you have some trail of rightfully buying the phone (paper/electronic/witnesses), then it should get unbricked and the original owner should get the mud right back in his face.

No amount of money will fix that.
In the same way that no amount of money got us to the moon, with a bazillion other goodies as a side effect?

And you know this to be a fact, exactly how?
Want to listen to music on Spotify? Need a FB account.
That's simply incorrect. You may use your FB account, or you can create a new Spotify only account, which at least is what I did.
My family tree has routing loops . . .
Ah, the McFlys. Someone is his own grandfather perhaps?

You might want to reconsider that. Take a special look at the what E Coli did, as predicted.
Perhaps the time is right for a COBOL browser plugin?

JavaScript is Turing complete AFAIK. What do you mean it's not a full blown language?
I'm reasonably sure I would be watching it on TV too, but hard times for the public in USA (or Syria) don't make me happy.

fired the guy within a few weeks.
Maybe this new manager saw after few weeks that there wasn't really anything to justify keeping the dev around any longer?
Not a lot. Technical ability doesn't have anything to do with moral reasoning or empathy.
Makes sense.
Arguably, you could make one of those pick-any-two triangles from that collection.
Doesn't make sense if the previous assertion is valid. It's not like the quality/quantity/time triangle where each part directly affects the others.

About 97% of all of the taxes in our country are paid for by about 5% of the wealthy people in this country.
I don't believe you. Where is your proof of that? And don't tell me to google it, you are asserting something that sounds like a fantasy.

OTOH I was a salaried Spectrum games programmer back in the 1980s working for one of the major companies.
Interesting - did you work on some titles one might have played back in the day?
