Each time the answer comes up the same, even in a test with much less accuracy, you improve the chances it's the right answer.
Throw some statistical analysis at it and come up with a way to combine the tests you have into one probability, which will be higher than all the probabilities you got from the measurements.
Unless the tests disagree, and then you're talking a homework problem.
So basically, you know absolutely nothing about DNA analysis.
While very rapid deflation is bad (as markets cannot react instantly), deflation as a whole is in fact a good thing for everyone but the top 1% of wealthy people.
Who gives a shit about farm workers? It's the farm owner who sells his crop / livestock to a distributor, who then sells it to stores.
The distributor sets the price for a certain amount of crop / livestock. If a farm owner thinks the price is too low, he can sit on his crop and get no money, or he can sell it anyway. The farm owner has no power, and his only recourse is to hire fewer workers or pay them less / give them fewer hours.
The distributor's costs are based on shipping and storage costs.
If you increase the shipping costs through retarded taxes, then you simply decrease what the distributor pays out to the farm owner and increase what the distributor charges the markets.
If you increase what the distributor charges the markets, then the markets charge the customers (YOU IN YOUR DENSELY PACKED URBAN CENTER) more.
If you decrease what the distributor pays the farm owner, you get less crop next year, which results in the distributor increasing the price he charges markets (see above).
The bottom line is that if you increase shipping costs, you only hurt yourself. And not just on useless merchandise you don't need, but on fucking food.
Man, you're an idiot. You're asking the rural areas to indirectly subsidize your trains by paying higher taxes on vehicles.
These vehicles ship your fucking food to you. These rural areas grow and raise your fucking food.
If you put the squeeze on them, all you'll do is hurt your OWN fucking wallet whenever you try to fucking feed yourself or maintain your neourbanite hipster lifestyle by buying useless shit.
And trains will lose overall because of the cost to establish tracks, power, controls, train stations, etc. in all the non-densely populated regions.
If you don't run through the rural areas, then you're just city-wide transit, which we already have for the cities where it makes sense.
Adding a tax for carbon emissions? LOLOL
So you want the trucks that deliver your merchandise to have to pay higher taxes? You're just indirectly SUBSIDIZING your fucking trains with increased costs on EVERYTHING if you do that. Unless you plan to have train tracks running to every deliverable address in the country, you need cars and trucks to be unencumbered by bullshit taxes in order to keep your fucking food prices from skyrocketing.
It's bad enough we already can't tell whether a "megabyte" is binary or decimal. Now we can't tell whether a "bit" is physical or virtual.
A megabyte always has been and always will be binary-based.
MB is not an SI scalar, nor did it ever pretend to be, nor is it conflicting with the SI scalar M.
The only confusion comes about when you try to insist that MB is infringing on some sacred, arbitrarily-based notion that all major scalars must be factors of 1000.
The "classical" units and scalars are themselves ambiguous. What does M mean? Meter? Mass? Minute? Mega? Milli? What does G mean? Gram? Giga? The gravitational constant? Is K kilo? Is it the spring constant? Is it Kelvin?
You can impose all the capitalization and styling rules you want, but the bottom line is that people cannot distinguish the 17 ways you write the letter "u", nor will they replicate them easily or reliably. People read technical descriptions in context.
When you see MB, you KNOW you're talking about megabytes, and you KNOW bytes are binary. If you fail at this, you're either a marketer for storage devices (liar), or you should not be working with computer-related things.
I'm finally considering going on something for my Masters. I made it through all of mechanical engineering just on account that I was 'smart'. I've been able to get good reviews at work even though I feel like I only work 2 hours a day. The rest I spend on slashdot and fark or elsewhere on the internet. But somehow the ADHD has kept it such that I'll work in spurts and and surf and still get more work done than my peers.
You do not have ADHD. You have "I am semi-competent and prefer surfing the web to working. I am normal."
It's a completely contrived analogy intended to describe behavior in social situations. It was always about people, and never about frogs.
It's a bullshit analogy based on the cold-bloodedness of amphibians that gets everything completely wrong.
Amphibians cannot regulate their body temperature. When it is too hot or cold, they must seek out cooler or warmer places, respectively. A frog is no different from other amphibians - its body cannot slowly adjust or become acclimated to gradually increasing temperatures. Nor does a gradual change trick it into not perceiving the current temperature as "too fucking hot for my frog ass".
Indeed, the fucking temperature variations a frog experiences in nature are far less extreme than bringing water to a boil, and take place over an entire year's worth of 24 hour periods.
Frogs still move about to find the proper temperature.
IANMOFWF (I am not much of a whisky afficcionado) but I was worried for a minute there. The headline is misleading. They are turning byproducts of the whisky making process into biofuel and not the whisky itself, which would be a travesty indeed.
You're also not much of a speller, anagram creator, etc.
But basically what's going on here is that the Scottish have found yet another way to pinch their pennies.
You know this is bunk, right? All they've done is measure reaction times from a couple of old fogeys who can barely operate a cell phone anyway.
How many people died during their tests of drunk drivers vs their tests of texting drivers?
Oh, you mean they didn't actually test that?
So, did they at least factor in the ability of a texter to put down the phone, text only at red lights, etc?
Oh, you mean they didn't?
Oh, you mean the test was an unfamiliar obstacle course with REQUIRED texting?
Texting while driving is bad, but it is nowhere near as dangerous as drunk driving. It's no worse than operating the fucking radio or air conditioner while driving. You fucking wait until you have a moment to diddle with it.
When you drive drunk, you're drunk for the entire fucking ride.
Stop spamming that link. You can't blow drunk the morning after unless:
Your "morning after" is 8 AM after a night ending at 5 AM. You don't brush your teeth. You got so fucking drunk that you're seriously hungover, which is also a pretty impaired state to be driving in. You got so fucking drunk that you still ARE drunk.
Even if magically blow drunk and are dead sober, a cop can use this little thing called "discretion". They have and still use field sobriety tests. They have and still use piss tests.

Earlier this week we had someone praising almighty atheismo that someone on slashdot used "cue" properly.
It's nice to see you shitting on that poor man.

I didn't imply it.
You incorrectly inferred it.

An awful lot of stupid people.
Debt is to be avoided like the plague.
Hey retard, I said no such thing.
You want to avoid deflation?
You're stupid.
While very rapid deflation is bad (as markets cannot react instantly), deflation as a whole is in fact a good thing for everyone but the top 1% of wealthy people.
There isn't necessarily an unknown mechanism that resulted in the background radiation pattern.
If there is no such mechanism, it merely means that our guesses about the universe prior to the earliest pictures we have are wrong.
Well my SSD is smaller than a pinhead
That's funny. I heard your dick is the same size, too.
So you didn't get the whole "SSD = "Super Small Dick"" thing?

If you have the shortcuts enabled, you can adjust the bar with , and . (or whatever the shortcut is).
Personally, I turned them on, adjusted it (to show everything, as it should be), then turned the shortcuts off.

It is complete bullshit.
Put a frog in a pot of water.
Heat the water slowly.
The frog will jump out almost instantly.

In an attempt to exert some basic management over their network, as is allowed per their contracts.
