When I read "regular porn users are more likely to report depression and poor physical health than nonusers are". Sure, what do you do when you are depressed? You watch porn. So depression cause people to watch porn. Though that is better than suicide.
Is it by using technologies that you become socially impaired, or is it because you are becoming socially impaired that you used technologies? If my so called friends were not that annoying to me when I was a kid, I would probably not be a software engineer today. When I see "the survey of 3,461 American girls aged 8 to 12 who volunteered responses", I think that does not mean much. If I read something like "the sample was randomly divided in two, the first sample was given new hitech gadget every year, the second not" maybe that would be different.
Of course, their 12 year old engineers (because they assassinated the other engineers who were too old to be credulous) will clone it easily. Like their nuclear program.
Is there a skill gap in math between gender? I thought it was a gap in the interest in maths. If women have a biologic predisposition towards language, where do you think there interest will go? Not into math. I am really not sure that the fact that women succeeds less in maths to be cultural. It does not mean they fail in maths. I think they are just less likely try, and it is likely to be biological.
I want to see a study that compares interests in maths. Not skills.
After all, women will outperform men in all other academic fields. It can be cool to have very few fields that women do not like so that we can feel kind of useful in the society other than fixing cars, producing semen and opening sealed jars.
Just to note, Americans have funny recipes where they use table spoons, tea spoons, cups, etc. But you need to buy special spoons and cups for cooking. Otherwise you do not get the right amount of ingredients. In Europe, we use grams and sometimes milliliters, and we make better food. Maybe food is a good argument to switch.
In Europe?!? No in Britain perhaps. But I never heard of inches in electronics. It is always in millimeters. See shops like Conrad (German), Elfa (Swedish) or Electronic Diffusion (France) on the web, and you will see everything is in millimeters.
According to James Randi in a recent talk in Trondheim, it is the religious lobbies that push the US not to switch to a system invented by the French. And frankly, I would not see any other reason. Otherwise that would be a total mystery why they do not switch.
Spotify has a better catalogue than my local stores and the pirate bay. I have been able to listen to albums I was never able to find before(and that I wanted to listen to). And for this reason, I really do not mind not being able to listen to the Pink Floyd.
Until 1994, the penal code was an amended version of Napoleon's penal code. The civil code has not been reformed. We actually call the civil code, "Napoleon's code". The constitution was completely different under the Empire, however.
I am not the kind to trust what journalists claim when it comes to having found a genius child. Especially when there are keywords like "Einstein", and "relativity". We have the impression to read a new-age spirituality article. I would be more impressed if the child was interested in working on some domains of which no non-scientist have ever heard. This is how scientific research is (except those biologist who still work on very simple ideas, "let's dissect a frog!").
I remember a teen who was invited for an interview on TV in France. Do you know why the journalist called him a genius? You will laugh. He had a Microsoft certification.
OK, let's say that they did not use an Internet website to measure the 170 of IQ, but I doubt they used a very good test, the source does not say. What is an IQ of 170? It is 4.667 standard deviation. Which is around 1 person every 653327 (thank you Wolfram Alpha, my brain already hurts after this day of work). Note as well, IQ for children are usually measured relatively to their age class (and not to Einstein). So if you have 653327 12 year-olds, you will have probably one who has 170 of IQ. People who are 12 years old are 2% of the population. So there are approximately 213 children as intelligent as he is. It is genius. But it happens! It happens like there are people who win the lottery, but we do not make much noise about it. What I would call extraordinary is when a child has an IQ so high that the expected value of children of this IQ is less than, I would say.01, so that we can say it happens once every century.
While the video convinced me he is obviously in advance in his age (and that he is smarter than he was, obviously, me fool), it does not convince me that he is the level to be in college. Integration by parts are seen in high school. And it is not even a really hard thing.
I guess the reasons for Debian to be at the origin of birth of more other distributions is because:
1. they have a good package manager (this is a good side)
2. they are very very conservative, which make people run away (the bad side).
Now, the reasons for Gentoo not to spawn more distributions:
1. it is hard and to install (so not that many new users)
2. you do not need to, actually each installation is its own distribution. What was counted as distribution are the ones with a live CD.

Are not the PID regulator supposed to stop the heater before it gets too hot?

I would call the marriage of Sarkozy and Bruni a very successful lobbying operation.
So it means that more than 99.99% succeeded to set up a VPN before the third letter. I see HADOPI is having a big success.
80 columns, 25 lines and eventually 16 colors for syntax highlighting.
I wish to file a bug report: you count multiple times files with several hard links.

Printing is less and less important in design. Unless you are doing textile or billboard, I do not think CMYK is a good choice.
No, continue to use MS paint, it rocks!
As long as artists use flash and smoke pot, we are safe that they will not touch the interface of GIMP, and it will stay easy to use.

I do not think this is the kind of settlement for which China is aiming.
Well now, when you use Google, you go to re-education camp. There is no google.cn (Mainland), it redirects to google.com.hk (Honk Kong).
