That's just cos different people learn differently.
I hated the outdoors as a high schooler, most exciting time was spent writing C code.What helped most was that they gave me free access to the lab whenever there wasn't a class going on.
See now i would have just slacked off till end of semester and after all requirements were in, finished the whole thing off in a week of caffine-sugar haze known as programmer's heaven
So more than half the average american population does not know that the earth is covered in 70% water?
why is this surprising at all? I mean it's not on "american idol" or "dancing with the starts". It's not a song in "rock band". You can't play it on the wii or playstation or xbox. You can't know this from facebook or myspace or twitter. There is'nt an action movie about it.
So of course America does'nt know or care what the earth is covered in
This is the average man that we are talking about who has an IQ of a 100 (not that memorizing a fact requires intelligence, only paying attention in school)
I bet that the average IQ of all the people on slashdot is upwards of 120. (mine is 120)
We have objects flying around near the ISS at miles per second speeds, right?
Why can't we utilize the kinetic energy of these objects?
Or create our own probes that orbit earth and convert the earth's gravitational energy into kinetic energy that can *somehow* be transmitted back to earth?
Since IE is the "Default" browser it is the most exploited
No, IE is most exploited because it is full of holes. Since the source is closed, only the idiots who wrote the crap in the first place get to look at the holes and try and fix them.
And since they are idiots, they create more holes.
I betcha if they open the IE source, MS will quickly become the laughing stock of the industry for the quality of code they have in there
But it also means that you can *charge* it in 10 seconds. How nice it that. One problem for plug-in electric cars is that they take long to charge. If charging it doesn't take longer than filling up a tank of gas, that would be a step forward.
on the other hand, your car would discharge in 10 seconds and you would have to recharge after every 10 seconds
Will these people puhlease stop trying to behave "tech savvy" by trying to jam myspace, twitter and facebook in everything they do?
It's a pathetic way to try and stay relevant
Fact is, these judges,congressmen,lawyers etc. are total noobs at interpreting implications of technology and lack the common sense to distinguish the virtual world from the real.
Just because u have a facebook page and tweet does not make u "hip" or enroll u into pop youth culture.
It only qualifies you as an idiot with half-knowledge of these technologies who try to enforce laws that were written in an era when these technologies did not exist
There is a difference between reality and facebook. The difference is that reality is who you are and facebook is what you pretend to be.

The EULA is a contract b/w u and MS. Breach of this contract is a crime, though it doesn't fall in the category of breaking a law.
It's a crime nonetheless.
nonsense
its cheaper
Actually we should all sue god because he created everything and is therefore the enabler of all crime perpetuated
The US Army made a paradrop of a 40000+ lb tank in the late 1940's.
Was this a tank full of explosives being thrown on the enemy? like waay before they had missiles?
Those asteroids are probably too infrequent to bother planning for.
Famous last words my friend, famous last words

Oil is there bread and butter.
Oil is their bread and butter.
>There are cars that accelerate faster than that. Of course, I suppose they don't weigh 4.5 million pounds.....
And they're not accelerating upwards (I hope)
Against gravity, which accelerates u at 9.6metres per second, I might add
To answer your question, No.
Microsoft beat god to it in 2007..
A newer study has shown that in WoW, characters start losing their mental abilities at level 30.

Buying a $1500 pair of headphones is a lot more accessible than buying a well designed room with speakers.
Buying a $20 pair of headphones is a lot cheaper than buying a $1500 pair of headphones. 75 times cheaper, actually.

A very small country would do great with socialism, which may not be easily acceptable by bigger economies
Also, the temperament of the people of a country goes a long way in deciding what system of economics is adopted.
I would not suggest anything other than free market capitalism for the US. This is because Americans love spending. We are a greedy people by nature.
All government can do is get out of the way, and keep the playing field fair for the players.
Pick one
Also it ensures that a gentry of high income, educated and civilized people inhabit the areas. (As opposed to gangstas from the hood)
"high income" being the keyphrase here, since these are the people that pay the most taxes to the state.
It's foolish.
And yet they're doing it and there have been no riots on the streets
Actually around 30% of the population (world) is above 120
5-10% are above 135
So more than half the average american population does not know that the earth is covered in 70% water?

Ok so here's an idea..
We have objects flying around near the ISS at miles per second speeds, right?
Why can't we utilize the kinetic energy of these objects?
Or create our own probes that orbit earth and convert the earth's gravitational energy into kinetic energy that can *somehow* be transmitted back to earth?

fun huh?
Could this mean that evolution is at work here and that chimps are beginning to exhibit behavior that they previously were incapable of?
opposite of anti-social is social. opposite of anti-socialist is socialist.
social = goes to parties and stuff and eventually gets laid
socialist = believes that everything belongs to everyone (no correlation to getting laid)
communist = wears red and does not get laid
